NO development — period — for Site 8 is what the Lonsdale Citizens Association wants in lieu of a proposed 400-foot residential tower on the city’s waterfront.

“We totally reject any proposals,” Ivan Leonard, co-chairman of the LCA, told council Monday. “The OCP is what we have to protect.

“The city should not sell city-owned land. It’s the last piece of property we have on the waterfront. Preserve it, protect it for future generations,” he said before an overflow crowd of some 100 supporters.Each supporter wore red as a symbol against a proposed 36-storey development advanced by Millenium Developments in October 2007 for the southeast corner of Esplanade Avenue and Rogers Avenue.
