A lot of disappointed residents in a Belleville East End neighbourhood.
An Ontario Municipal Board hearing at City Hall dismissed nearly all of the conerns of people who live near the Oddfellows Hall on Bay Drive, south of Dundas Street and east of the hospital..
The O-M-B upheld a City Council decision allowing the rezoning of the hall’s parking lot so Quinte Health Care could use it as a place for employees to park during the ongoing hospital construction .
A spokesman for the group, Bill Tripp, says the hearing chairperson didn’t agree with its concerns about increased traffic making the quiet neighbourhood more dangerous for children, but did make recommendations that speed limit and “children playing” signs be put up in the immediate area.
