Stop the 6 story building proposed for Boler/Baseline in Byron


Stop the 6 story building proposed for Boler/Baseline in Byron
The Issue
Byron is a beautiful community on the west side of London, Ontario. Once its own town until annexed by London, Ontario in 1961, Byron has a unique character that residents cherish. Now, London city council is allowing developers to build large buildings anywhere, disregarding the neighbourhood’s character and residents' voices.
Many of us have lived in Byron for years or decades. I have lived in Byron for over 40 years. Residents of Byron are not opposed to building new homes and buildings. But we ask that that council consider what matters to residents before approving these new buildings:
-they should fit with the character of the neighbourhood
-they should not make traffic significantly worse
-they should not make the neighbourhood unsafe for children who walk or bike in the area
-they should be adding affordable housing before adding new luxury rentals
The majority of city council is approving almost every development that is put forth without regard to the concerns of the existing residents. Help us tell city council: Listen to the people of Byron!
Please also consider writing all councillors by copying and pasting the following email addresses into one email and tell them to listen to residents:
hmcalister@london.ca; slewis@london.ca; pcuddy@london.ca; sstevenson@london.ca; jpribil@london.ca; strosow@london.ca;
crahman@london.ca; slehman@london.ca; ahopkins@london.ca; pvanmeerbergen@london.ca; sfranke@london.ca;
