First of all, thank you to all of the supporters and promoters of this petition - it's making a difference!

Despite some reports, no building permit applications have been submitted as of July 24th and no footing or building permits have been issued.  The Developer only has permission to put up a fence and locate a trailer on the property. See below for details.

There is still an opportunity to make our voices heard!

What an amazing addition to the City's park system this greenspace could be!!!

July 25, 2025 article in Charlottetown’s The Guardian newspaper may be misleading about the status of permit approval:

"When the Guardian reached Banks to ask about resident concerns, he had recently received the final permits for building.  …. in a July 17 Guardian interview”.

Per the Charlottetown Planning & Heritage Manager, on July 24th :

“I can reinforce that as per today’s date, the City has issued a Permit for site mobilization work-only on the property as per the attached site plan that APM provided which is inclusive only of installation of construction fencing around the perimeter of the site and locating a construction trailer on the property as per the attached.

We anticipate to receive (but have not yet received) a formal application for Building Permit from APM in the next number of days for a Phase 1 foundation-only Permit with respect to the project.  Again, this formal submission has not been received by the City nor any preliminary materials ahead of formal submission either."
