(Sorry about the delay in this update, I have been on vacation from the 18th to the 26th)
Just a few clarifying points on my post on Oak Bay Lodge just over a week ago:
- The building is to be 6 stories, not 5
- The Mount Tolmie lands ultimate disposition is unclear at this time. Saanich Council has made it very clear that they will not rezone the land, so that likely ends any chance of it being sold off.
- Where is the cost/benefit analysis of replacing vs repairing Oak Bay Lodge that Oak Bay Council asked for, and was promised by VIHA CEO Waldner, in Janurary 2010?
Ultimately, I suspect that like the school, which was just delayed, I suspect this project won’t start construction this fall.
