Call if you're interested in delivering the A patchwork of properties in Waterloo's Mary-Allen neigh- bourhood isn't yet bursting with people, though there's enough premonition to cause a ground- swell. Mary Street resident Mike Stinson is opposed to a new six- storey proposal off Union Street East that would merge two prop- erties with a house and existing medical clinic, for 46 residential units. He knows it's a sign of things to come for the area that's slated for intensification, and it wouldn't be entirely out of character. There's a seven-storey apartment build- ing visible on the opposite side of Union, on Mary, as well as the various office towers and multi- residential buildings along King Street. However, Stinson worries this latest proposal will cast his house and others into darkness, as it will sit directly east. While city council will get its first look at an informal meeting this week, he and others have al- ready penned letters outlining numerous concerns.
