Stop 19 needs your HELP!  Preserve our greenspace!

The historical Welland neighbourhood Stop 19 is being faced with the threat of having their small forest area, which borders the shared Steve Bauer Trail,  by developing urban sprawl by greedy corporations. 

Their goal is to cram 3 apartment buildings, back to back homes and 6 commercial spaces in 10,000 sq. ft., by requesting that the city change established plot bylaws that dictate the size of the plots, the size of the variance between dwellings as well as the amount of parking spots allotted to each building and commercial business.
