## Resource

A new high-rise in Centretown is sparking outrage after being approved despite serious accessibility and traffic concerns—especially for residents with mobility issues. One grieving widow fears the project will make navigating the already challenging neighborhood even harder. While city officials admit a major IT glitch erased 39 residents’ online feedback, the approval stands. Though the project still faces hurdles like heritage permits and urban design reviews, the community’s core worries—traffic, safety, and inclusivity—remain unaddressed, leaving many furious and frustrated.
