The immediate danger on Cannon St is that the West Harbour (Setting Sail) Secondary Plan also requires a 26.21 metre right-of-way width along Cannon Street.

Cannon currently is around 11.8 to 12 meters wide. It needs to be narrowed down (like Intnl Village), to achieve a urban scale and not widened with set-backs.

The desire for such excessive right-of-way widths in the core is what has destroyed the street walls on Main and King.

Our urban planners are seeking major set-backs from the road for all new development on Cannon... A broken saw-tooth street wall is all they will achieve from this escapade.

This foolish approach to city re-building has to be shut down fast. If not, it may well be enacted in a month or two.
