Summary


"I chose to live in Osborne Village because it's old and I love the trees," [Judy Lehn] said. "I moved from a 100-year-old house on Gertrude Avenue eight years ago. I didn't want to leave the area."

City of Winnipeg senior planner Michael Robinson said the Roslyn Road project involves the demolition of the four homes on the south side of Roslyn Road between Evergreen Place and Roslyn Crescent. They would be replaced with a row of eight, two-storey townhouse units, and a 12-storey, 66-unit condominium tower built behind the townhouses.

Lehn said Sunstone wants to use a rear laneway as an exit route, but noted that residents believe the laneway can't accommodate existing traffic flows, let alone the additional vehicles from the Sunstone project.
