City council has approved a controversial new condominium development along the river's edge in the Brander Gardens neighbourhood, south of Fort Edmonton Park. The developer plans to relocate the mature trees on the lot to make room for the new buildings and maintain privacy for the neighbours. She said she's worried what impact on moving mature trees and digging foundations will have on the stability of the slope into the river. She said she also doesn't believe the developer's claims it will try to save the mature trees on the lot. He said he worries about what will happen if council adds 46 more units to the neighbourhood.
