HVVRA’s concerns
The Humber Valley Village Residents Association (HVVRA) is not against the redevelopment of Humbertown Shopping Centre, but not a development of this magnitude. We have several concerns including:
- preserving the unique character of our neighbourhood
- height and massing of buildings
- elimination of front setbacks
- elimination of mature trees along Royal York and Ashley
- threat to long-term stability of our neighbourhood
- excessive physical intensity
- traffic impact and infrastructure
- precedence for additional intensification
- impact on community services
- lack of community open space
