Shawna Lewkowitz, president of the Urban League of London, an umbrella group for neighbourhood organizations, said it’s crucial that local residents and community leaders weigh in on the future of the area.
“It’s really, really important that we get it right. Many residents of London use that area for different things. It’s a place of beauty, it’s a place of culture, and it’s also a place where people live in the surrounding areas,” she said.
“I think it’s important their voices are heard, while also recognizing the importance of density.”
