Given the amount of tall building development approved for the area, the DPRG Board has, over time, requested a holistic view of the wind effects of such a collection of buildings. The norm has been for developers to conduct a study of the effects of their own proposed buildings rather than an overall effect.
Our persistence has borne fruit as the City engaged RWDI, a leader in the field, to lead that effort. The study was conducted on the premise that all the approved buildings are built and it added others where City Planning thought there was an opportunity for additional builds.
On Monday, April 20, a deputation from the Deer Park Board attended a workshop and neighbourhood walk with representatives from the City and RWDI to review our concerns and hear their preliminary findings.
A formal report will be prepared, and we will provide a full overview when it appears.
