Council sends Holyrood Gardens back to drawing board

Edmonton’s new council sent the contentious Holyrood Gardens project back to the drawing board Monday, saying the towers just don’t fit beside one- and two-storey homes.
The group voted 8-5 on a referral motion to redesign the project, forcing it to comply with existing city guidelines on the width of the towers and recommended transitions between tall buildings and existing low-density neighbourhoods.
“I do not want to kill this project,” said area Coun. Ben Henderson.
