The residents of the River Terrace area of the city don't want an expansion of their subdivision . One by one opponents pleaded with city councillors not to approve the proposal. As part of the plan, the developer will be removing the trees that separate the area from the Health Sciences Centre. They think the trees that are removed will do away with the buffer they have against the hospital noise. In addition Lakehead University students and faculty voice disapproval since the land in question is in the process of being purchased from the institution.
