City Seeks Public Input on Affordable Housing Project on Blackmarsh Road
A new affordable housing project in the west end of St. John's is progressing toward approval. The proposal involves building three apartment complexes with nearly 50 units on Blackmarsh Road, near the intersection with Canada Drive. While the provincial government supports rezoning the land for this project, city approval requires a public meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on May 6th at City Hall, with participation also available via Zoom. However, the meeting may be canceled if no public submissions are received. Councilor Greg Noseworthy, who grew up in the neighborhood, recognized concerns regarding the potential loss of trees and increased traffic but emphasized the suitability of the location for affordable housing. He highlighted that the area is well-connected to a new highway, close to shopping options like Village Mall and grocery stores including Piper's and No Frills, and not far from Waterford Valley High School. The project is viewed as a crucial step in addressing housing needs in the city while taking advantage of existing infrastructure and amenities.
