Comments on: 2771 Jacklin – from 14 storeys, to 6-8 http://insidelangford.ca/2009/11/16/2771-jacklin-from-14-storeys-to-6-8/ News and views about Langford, British Columbia Tue, 07 Sep 2010 08:37:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Sylvia Oertel http://insidelangford.ca/2009/11/16/2771-jacklin-from-14-storeys-to-6-8/#comment-4058 Sylvia Oertel Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:13:49 +0000 http://insidelangford.ca/?p=2443#comment-4058 As for senior housing of any size... There are much nicer plots of vacant land within the boundaries of Langford/Colwood that would do nicely for a project of this sort, where it could also include some outside natural parklike areas (not squeezed into a rooftop) for the enjoyment of it's tenants. May be that the owners of 2771 Jacklin Rd should sell this site & invest elsewhere... Thanks for not allowing a 14 story bldg in this city. It would stick out like a sore thumb (it brings to mind the height of the View Tower) Imagine relocating that here to Langford! It just wouldn't suit the neighborhood & certainly wouldn't want this skyline to change. I do commend these owners for the idea of housing Langford seniors. With the right plans for the right property I would be happy to not object.

How? Jacklin is pretty narrow along there without a lot of leeway to widen it. It sounds on paper like a wonderful project but like so many which have come down the pipe, envisioned for the wrong location. “They would have also paid to widen Jackin.”

Maybe the developers should look elsewhere. Thankyou for the update. Maybe the developers should look elsewhere.
