Towers to be built on former site of White Spot restaurant. Includes a public plaza at corner of Douglas and Caledonia.
Plans for three residential towers up to 21 storeys with about 450 new homes at the north end of downtown Victoria, along with a 90-unit supportive-housing building nearby have received approval from city council following a public hearing last week.
The 90-unit supportive housing is planned for 722 and 726 Discovery St., where people living in Capital City Centre can move to before the hotel is torn down for the new development. Coun. Dave Thompson called the project “the right development in the right place,” highlighting the inclusion of spaces for two car share electric vehicles, enhanced bike parking, a raised bike lane, and the high walkability score of the project’s location.Coun. Matt Dell said the project is a “really excellent model” for the diversity of housing he’d like to see more of.
So when the excavators started tearing into the embankments on the edge of the busy highway Tuesday, the 43-year-old mayor was understandably all smiles. “Those driving through the area need a route they can count on,” said Fleming. “This overpass will eliminate the possibility of a collision between vehicles travelling in opposite directions, making travel easier and safer for everyone while significantly improving the flow of goods and people.”
Elimination of the dangerous left turn onto Keating is expected to reduce collisions and bring more businesses and employees into the Central Saanich area, said Windsor. Central Saanich Police Chief Ian Lawson called the Keating turnoff from the highway “one of our most dangerous areas for traffic in the district.
