Richard Lobel

Thank you.

Richard Lobel

So just to conclude.

Richard Lobel

This site here, again, is a site where no residential displacement would occur.

Richard Lobel

We have a street system where there's good access to the site.

Richard Lobel

We are near mass transportation.

Richard Lobel

And I think that's why many people in the community found this to be a potentially beneficial site in terms of creating housing here.

Richard Lobel

We did have some very...

Richard Lobel

productive conversations with the community board, which were, you know, we built on those conversations.

Richard Lobel

They were lengthy and good.

Richard Lobel

And I think that, you know, we did end up with a really strong consensus from them that this was something that would be desired by the area.

Richard Lobel

So with that, the Alpec team is happy to answer any questions.
