Several Dunbar residents are speaking out regarding Vancouver city council's unanimous approval of a 30-unit, five-storey rental building on Collingwood Place.

“The whole neighbourhood is not happy about council’s decision,” said Alan Kenney, a resident who lives in the area.

Kenney cites increased traffic and pedestrian safety as his two biggest concerns. He says the streets already narrow and do not have sidewalks, making it challenging for pedestrians.

“Once these new developments go in, it will not be safe for any pedestrians at all,” said Kenney.

    “We’re not against development, or the whole densification of the city, it’s just that it’s not appropriate here,” he said.

    Classic NIMBY statement. The fire truck thing is a lame excuse, people are expected to move out of the way if the truck has sirens on, not while it returns from the call.
