I live in Oakmont and I do not support the 70 Arlington Dr. project.
All anyone has to do is imagine this monstrosity was going up in their own neighbourhood green space and the answer is a clear ‘not in my backyard.’ Haven’t the residents of Akinsdale suffered enough with the loss of the green belt behind them due to the Anthony Henday Drive construction?
Go try and build the complex in Kingswood (obviously I am joking) — everyone knows that would never happen. This is a very clear example of discrimination based on demographic. Every resident of St. Albert needs to ask themselves, would I want this project built in a park in my neighbourhood? If the answer is no, then speak up so city council can hear you!
