Gian-Carlo Carra, who represents the area around the station. “Once that partner is identified, we’ll start to speak to them about what the opportunities are for the site,” Couroux said. “We’ll better understand what housing we’ll be looking at.”Some who attended the community pop-up event told Global News they are concerned about potential spillover effects in the community due to the elimination of parking at the LRT station.
