Councillors to ponder new subdivision

City administrators are prepping Iqaluit’s engineering and planning committee with a “concept plan” for a small subdivision that would be located close to a small lake known as “Toonik Pond” close to the highest point on Apex Hill.

The subdivision, if approved, would likely supply the city with about 130 new lots, in a mix of residential and commercial uses.

Council’s planning and engineering committee were to talk about the idea at a meeting this past Tuesday, but the matter was deferred until a meeting in March.

Meanwhile, work on the first phase of the Plateau subdivision will continue this spring, with surveying starting soon, followed by development work later on. About 50 lots will be created in that phase of the subdivision.
