St. Luke's Precinct

Neighbours of old downtown Burlington living the dream - with hopes of guarding the soul of our hood for the next generation.

[Marianne Meed Ward @MariannMeedWard]

The final push is on. Thank you for your terrific support, especially in response to the many personal attack ads. Your decency shines through. Help spread the word and let others know a small group with deep pockets, playing dirty politics don't decide this election - You do.

@JonesWard2 @kimcalderbank @CoreResidents @ChristyALaverty @CentroGarden @DTBurlingtonON This whole exchange has been revealing of @JonesWard2 . Conspiracy? Endorsement deserved as @Ward2Lisa & @MariannMeedWard have spoken of dev issues for years. Supporting and protecting #dtburlon businesses. You and other candidates are way late to that party. Bye. #Bandwagoneers.

@PaulSharman1 @SaveBurlington @stjamesward5 @wendymoraghan @droukema @xinyizhang12 Mr. Sharman, through the lens of the new code of conduct, how will the city view a councillor being hosted at a restaurant for dinner and drinks paid for by developers? #burlon #dtburlon

@Chris_Ariens @RickGoldring Sure hope that people keep in mind who’s funding some of these ads so we can make good decisions; think about how spending money with them is funding this destructive trash. It’s #TheAmpersandgroup who owns @DickensPub and #sbprime. #dtburlon #burlon

[Marianne Meed Ward @MariannMeedWard]

Negative smear tactics have no place in any election, against any candidate. Thanks for the overwhelming support from residents since this hit. It’s appalling, and you’ve called it out. These tactics divide community, diminish democracy. https://t.co/6qy5XuRrr0

@BurlingtonsF Anybody else notice that these fake citizen accounts are duplicating like a weird heat rash. Yo developers the gig is up. Nick Carnicelli, Tarik Adi. Enough already. It’s gross. @BurlWaterfront @OfInformed @JFJustTheFacts @AndrewM46328930 all developer accounts. 👎

[St. Luke's Precinct @SLPrecinct]

@OfInformed @CoreResidents @JFJustTheFacts @mindifijust @RickGoldring @MariannMeedWard @cityburlington The concept that new builds is a measure of success is a fallacy created by developers. The gig is up. Developers don’t build community. People build community. Our #dtburlon retailers build community & economy. Dvlprs only take, capitalize on what communities make attractive.

[Core Residents Group @CoreResidents]

@Ward2Lisa Wonderful. We believe in @Ward2Lisa ‘s #integrity and have our support for #Ward2Councillor . The candidates and trolls that distributed and capitalized on the lies should now apologize. But they won’t. Because they don’t have integrity. #dtburlon #burlont #voteforchange

[Councillor Lisa Kearns @Ward2Lisa]

I proudly stand up for myself and my integrity. As I’ve previously stated, all my email communication lists were attained with permission including these Ward 2 residents who wrote the clerk. I believe they simply forgot they signed up on the newsletter form. #integrity

[Greg Woodruff @GregDWoodruff]

I don't remember asking to remove all the commercial properties bigger than an office? Or to reduce parking standards? You don't get it - the city should be designed for the people living in it - not to create GO train hostages for spreadsheets in Toronto. https://t.co/DyEq1AYGyM

Don’t miss an opportunity to meet and get to know Ward 2 Candidate Lisa Kearns tonight in the @CentroGarden courtyard. 6:30pm. It’s a family friendly social to meet and discuss your love and concerns for Ward 2.

[Core Residents Group @CoreResidents]

Hey #dtburlont neighbours, come out to meet Ward 2 candidate Lisa Kearns tonight at 6:30pm for a casual family friendly social. Hosted in the @CentroGarden courtyard.

[St. Luke's Precinct @SLPrecinct]

@GregDWoodruff Yes. It’s proposed in the new OP. City wants to change zoning in St. Luke’s to invite intensity, height. Bye bye detached 2 stories. They also reduced the neighbourhood boundaries. We’ve started petition. Delegating at city meeting tonight. All should come out. #saveDTBurlon

[St. Luke's Precinct @SLPrecinct]

@CoreResidents @DTBurlingtonON @ECoBurlington @KellysBake @CentroGarden @JoellesClothing @mirellasbtq @ScrivenersMen @PureBurlington @JeffsGuyshop @MariannMeedWard Yes this is assassination. Shameful. Planners and council who voted for height should know they voted to kill retail - chasing out the very people who made the area attractive. Cutting quality of life for area residents. The return of a dead Brant lays ahead. #saveDTBurlon

[Core Residents Group @CoreResidents]

Retail assassination. Developers and our city planners want to build towers in place of retail on Brant. Spaces left empty 1 yr already until they get their way. Likely 3 to 5 more years empty. That’s murder for retail, community & quality of life here. Sad. #savedtburlon

[Core Residents Group @CoreResidents]

@phlpwbb Yep. We saw that too. Burlington is all grown up now and so this is the new reality. We need accountability sewn into the City Planning and Council as they have their own agendas, and influencers. #takebackburlington

[Core Residents Group @CoreResidents]

@CityLandSea @CentroGarden @shannonlg88 @KellysBake @AniseApoth Height extends build duration. Extended time = suffering. Height creates shade. Street shade = reduced retail success. Height requires infrastructure updates. Updates = street closures disturbing shopper behavior. Height reduces street level retail, creates dull dead space. More?
