in an email to The Journal. Councillor Glen Grant, who also sits on the waterfront committee, said meeting appears to have driven the final nail in the coffin of the condo proposal. “Based on the meeting, I would say yes, it’s not going to happen,” he told The Journal Friday. But the overwhelming opposition during the public sessions were no surprise, “just from the public opinions given to me prior to the meeting,” he said." It was pretty well what I thought it was going to be,” he said.

It appears a proposal to build condo- miniums on a parking lot east of the Cornwall Civic Complex is dead in the water. About 300 people showed up for two public consultation sessions at the civic complex last Tuesday to discuss the plan, and the majority of them were not im- pressed. The session was proposed late last year after the city’s Waterfront Development Committee ap-

There is still con- cern, despite over- w h e l m i n g opposition at the meeting, that the on- line survey at www.cornwall.ca could be over- whelmed with re- sponses favouring

The proposal had been discussed heavily during waterfront committee meetings the latter half of 2011, according to committee minutes, but only became public when brought to council late last year. Committee member Roy Perkins first proposed developing the site at a June 16, 2011 committee meeting. He raised the proposal again at an Oct. 20, 2011 meeting and then at a Nov. 17, 2011 meeting, ac- cording to Waterfront Development Com- mittee minutes. Veteran councillor Denis Thibault was one of the waterfront committee members who saw first had the wrath of residents worried about the fate of their waterfront. He thought the response to the condo pro- posal was clear. “On the issue of land next to civic com- plex, it was obvious that the majority who were in attendance were not supportive of private enterprise development and espe- cially not in favour of condos,” he wrote
the development. The survey will be posted on the city website for another few weeks. It is a concern raised by Bill Beattie, who was turfed from the waterfront committee during a purge of members in favour of pro-development members after the last municipal election. “I don’t trust them, so I don’t really know how it’s going to go,” Beattie said Friday. “I have no confidence in this com- mittee -- none, none.” But Grant scoffed at the notion that the online survey would be manipulated to achieve the committee’s desired results. “That’s not going to happen,” Grant in- sisted. If political leaders hope to gain the trust of the public, they should consult the com- munity more often on issues important to them, Thibault wrote.
