McLeod Rd Stacked Townhouses - A proposed 5 x 3-Storey townhouses with 108 units designed by Organica Studio located on 5979 McLeod Rd in Niagara Falls Drummond community.
In regards to the parking, it may be a little excessive, however I will just play Devils advocate for a minute. This is not proposed in urban Toronto, it's being proposed in Niagara Falls which currently does not have incredible Transit services nor does it have 15 minute land use currently.
Should the proposal provide for residents needs as exists now, or construct based on the future residents ability to take frequent transit and have the ability to walk 15 minutes to provide for most of their needs and wants?
Posing question just to stimulate discussion
I agree with your principles, however in this proposal specifically, the parking in the middle could be redeloped into additional townhouses or even a small midrise condo/rental unit.Why build stuff that exacerbates the problem and will be difficult to fix down the road?
