SUbject: Condos in Quidi Vidi
Dear Councillors,
I am e-mailing you this letter out of concern of what may happen to our beautiful hillside if this proposal of a 5
storey 24 condo unit is accepted by the City .. I have lived on Barrows Road for 40 years and see nothing only
destruction over the last number of years;this area of Quidi Vidi has natural beauty and why in the name of
heavens would someone want to destroy something that if anyway else in Canada or the World would be
preserving and protecting. We all know that development is stemming up everyone in St. John's but certainly that
spot is not where Condos should go. This area serves a lot of people not only locally but everyone that walks that
trail,that sits on the banks whether it be for the oldest sport in North America, the Regatta or watching the
Fireworks. There is also another issue and that is the traffiC that such a deveopment would bring into the
community;we have way too many cars that are flying through the village now,and these drivers are not locals.!
am beginning to wonder with St . John's growing in leaps and bounds that the City must realize that if they are
going to promote TOURISM one cannot have a little village with it's beautiful landscape that exists in Quidi Vidi
and yet to look at hillsides smothered with CONDOS, this picture is not right. Thank you and I hope that QUIOI
VIOl VILLAGE will not become QUIDI VIOl ESTATES.
Joan and Ed Soper
