Members of the London Road Neighborhood Association marched at city hall Tuesday. They’re concerned with Lethbridge deciding whether or not to remove a portion of the London Road Park and replace it with dense housing. After deliberation, the council vote was 60-40 in opposition.
“Our opposition was always against the loss of greenspace, because once it’s gone, it’s almost impossible to regain,” Deaust explained. It’s a sentiment shared by fellow association member and resident of London Road, Charlene Davidson. Opportunity Lethbridge proposed its development would address concerns from the neighbourhood association about safety and crime in the park. But one by one, neighbours told the council they were against the proposal.The London Road neighbourhood has less than three per cent greenspace, a fact that made the decision easier for Mayor Blaine Hyggen, who voted against the rezoning.
