Twelve-storey proposal will go to public hearing.

A 12-storey building proposal for Vidal Street in White Rock was moved forward at council Monday, paving the way for the public to have its say.

The proposed development would see 12 townhouses and 97 apartment units go up between 1467 and 1519 Vidal St., the site where the Mariners Reach townhouse complex currently stands.

Coun. Larry Robinson said he expects a fair bit of community discussion surrounding the proposal, which could set the mood for future developments.
