Saint John council has given its approval to a 226-unit development on the city’s east side.

Developer Eric de Jong plans to build four multi-unit buildings and 18 townhouse units at 1440 Loch Lomond Road.

However, some of those who live near the proposed development are not on board with the plan.

Local residents are worried about potential traffic impacts, especially with another multi-unit development planned across the street.

An unspecified number of units in the buildings will be deemed affordable, according to a city staff report.
