Reasons why this commercial development is so bad:​

​

1. Traffic disruption during development

• Baird Ave & Baird Lane are too narrow to support Commercial heavy construction vehicles. 

  • Traffic controller will force residents to giveway or detour to other streets. ​

• Commercial grade construction vehicles will block traffic going in / leaving Baird Ave. 

  • Residents will be hampered/restricted/denied access of using their garage/car exits from Baird Lane as per past building projects.​

 

2. Street Parking already full

• We don't have capacity for any more street parking for construction vehicles and builders.

• Existing parking on Baird Ave is already at maximum capacity, we can’t support additional 20+ Utes, trailers, trucks taking up valuable parking spot for residents. 

• illegal parking across resident driveways is expected to worsen with this development.

​

3. Excessive height of the building  (20 meters high)

• 7 storey building blocks out natural sun light between 7am ~ 11am for properties along Baird Lane. 

• 7 storey building invades residents’ privacy.

​

4. Damages from Commercial size development

• The digging depth required for 7 storey building + underground carpark/basement is excessive and will lead to certain damage/ cracks/ collapse of nearby buildings. 

• Past projects have shown Commercial size development causes vibration damage to nearby building and properties.  

 

5. Noise and pollution from Commercial size development

• Baird Ave & Baird Lane is a completed residential zone, we can’t accept commercial level pollution (chemical/dust) and high decibel noise level (7am~7pm).

• Constant exposure to Commercial Level pollution and noise are known to cause significant mental and health issues. 

​

6. Traffic blockage & Noise after development

• Increased commercial deliveries by truck will block Baird Lane and Baird Ave.

• Increased Residential deliveries, renovations, moving in/moving out will block Baird Lane & Baird Ave more regularly. 

• Increased level of illegal parking blocking the road.

• Commercial & Residential event/Party noise will be amplified and travel to multiple street due to the 7 storeys building height!
