  Resident on Walfred Road – Asked for clarification on property size (2.3 acres). Stated that they do not think that the proposed density is consistent with previous Council decisions. Expressed concerns about damage to the environment.
• Mayor Young called a second time for presentations.
  Colwood resident – Stated that the number of units for this development has increased during the development process, and this will increase traffic and contribute to climate change, especially since there are no good public transit connections in this area. Density is negative for ecosystems and habitat, and it is better to keep existing trees and habitat than to plant new trees. Climate change should be prioritized over affordable housing. The cost of climate change is too great, and this is our problem to address now.
