*Seymour Estates redevelopment proposal received DNV Council approval to proceed to a public hearing.
**The public hearing was conducted virtually due to Covid but because of technical glitches was aborted halfway and is now postponed to 15 December.
*Lower Lynn Development
**Redevelopment applications are in the pipeline for Oxford Street. Expect some of these to be approved in the new year as they will be market rentals and below markets apartments. Being close to Phibbs, they will minimize parking requirements. A proposed redevelopment at 1515-1555 Oxford St with 134 units on six storeys with 114 underground parking spaces and 216 spaces for bicycle spaces for residents and visitors. Ebike charging was mentioned at the council presentation. The project got a good reception.
**Oxford Street will have bike paths both sides connecting with paths on Mountain Hwy.
**It was noted that these developments will be concurrent with the Phibbs Exchange upgrade which suggests it could become a significant bottleneck.
