re bus times and lack of parking... both of these concerns were raised continually during all the fights about stopping/starting this project. former councillor Fillion would celebrate how it's bus accessible, and people would point out the bus is so rare, but then Filion and supporters called...

having seen the 5800 Yonge site throughout the years, i think it's fair to say these problems are the result of the city ramming this through without any significant community consultation, without setting up or considering proximity of nearby social service supports, and that the "harm...

Willowdale Welcome Centre Shelter to Close by May 2026 Homes First has announced that the temporary Willowdale Welcome Centre shelter at 5800 Yonge St. will close by May 2026. This closure is part of the City’s broader plan to shift from temporary shelters to long-term, sustainable models for...

any interpretations of what this gesture shows of what they are wanting to do? by going to mayor before local councillor

what's going on with the HMart here? seems they have not started anything, it's still just a big bare concrete room behind the windows

curious if anybody could explain what this is showing... appears that the 54 story design is finalized and approved, but things aren't ready yet for demolition and excavation. is this an application to have some final examination of the site done before demolition? does this give any hints about...

could this all have been avoided if the city just followed the contractual requirements to wait until zoning permission granted, before buying materials?

another little detail on the vinyl wrap about H-Mart, there's also a bakery opening up too... hopefully baked on site, but either way a nice add for the neighbourhood https://www.tljus.com/

thank you again for engaging about this, and sharing info what i get from it now is this: ... in the 175 cummer situation, the site was chosen by the city for modular homes. then it turns out the site is already zoned for seniors only. that's an outdated practice, and once the city knew it they...

thank you for sharing! from what i see it's not zoned for seniors, yet still the city's website shows it's being operated for seniors exiting homelessness (people 55+) ... would that mean that the zoning is not discriminatory, but the actual effect of how it's operating is?

yes, thank you ... is there something in it that explains how Cedarvale is appropriate for seniors only, despite all of the notions that doing that is discriminatory? i am just baffled by this situation, and appreciate anything that helps understand it, and how development is made to happen or...

seems this was put up recently... Holding provision being lifted to permit construction of Phase 2

for 175 Cummer, yes - during the virtual community sessions it was stated by the city staff multiple times that the zoning is for seniors only, and they wanted that changed for the Cedarvale site, no, but if it isn't zoned for seniors then i find that even more disturbing. why? it is in Brad...

is the modular housing built at 540 Cedarvale housing seniors only? "Cedarvale will specialize in housing single seniors exiting homelessness or with insecure housing. Residents will have access to experienced staff in the building 24/7, consisting of professionals who are trained to support...

thank you for explanations to help understand what they were arguing, and how solid their premises were. however there have also been many indications throughout this situation that the site is already currently zoned for seniors only. it might be archaic and unliked by planner, but it's been...

i watched the video, and read those tweets in the link, and am amazed at how different they seem to be. maybe Sean truly thought he's describing what he heard, but humans can be so clouded by bias that they distort or cherrypick what they're hearing. this was an interesting example of cognitive...

thanks for sharing the link yesterday! Day 2 is also on youtube now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7OFCVoLt5c

sidewalk along yonge is being built. cladding on the angular features is being gradually installed

also, about the hoarding coming down - yes, it came down about 5 days ago (but, only for the phase 1 area, phase 2 hoarding still remains). also most of the supplies in staging area have been removed for about the same amount of time. they also moved their security booth from the southwest...

a question about the use of already allocated section 37 money for the m2m development, appreciate if anybody can answer. i see on this thread that the phase 2 is in limbo, with Aoyuan putting it up for sale. i see also they've already sold units, and the building is designed already. what the...
