Residents on a busy street in Liverpool are concerned it will only get more hectic if a 24-unit apartment building is built in their neighbourhood.
About a dozen people presented a petition to regional council on Tuesday and spoke against the development planned for 48 Bristol Ave.
Residents are upset that the proposed four-storey building is too big for the area. They’re worried about increased traffic, motorist and pedestrian safety and increased noise.
Bristol Avenue is a busy thoroughfare into and out of Liverpool.
There is no sidewalk on the side of the road where the development is proposed. The 6,720 square-foot building would be set back 10 feet from the street, with 24 parking spots behind and on the side of the building.
Mayor Darlene Norman said Wednesday there’s little that councillors can do unless residents file an appeal.
