This does seem super dense for the area. Anyone able to compute the new density including the verge site to the north and compare that to existing neighborhoods? This looks like it would be close to as dense as liberty village.
 
This density could be serviced in the interim of getting a high quality tram or subway; by a good BRT services along a dedicated bus lane or BRT route. For most parts of the Queensway; it is a six lane street, if not for the full length to Queen street. By converting two of these lanes into a BRT route, you would drastically reduce the amount of cars driving along that corridor and allowing such a project to exist.

^Why is the density of the old neighbourhood a consideration?
 
Not the existing neighbourhood in the area - I was comparing it to other dense neighborhoods to see what the new density would be like.
 
I go to this theatre and would also miss it, but some of the residents reactions make me laugh.

Although I do not understand why they couldn't just incorporate a cinema in the base of one of the new condo towers. It doesn't seem like such a difficult thing to accomplish.

Yes!
 
I'm all for saving the theatre, and for that matter the neighbourhood from this haphazard, poorly thought out, load of a development proposal that would create more messes than benefits but c'mon now what's this non-sense:

But if the condo towers go up, "that [sunset] will be gone, the skyline will be gone," she said. "We will live in a place where we're just staring at concrete."

I would definitely support a BRT on Queensway or Royal York. Hell, given the amount of development, an LRT could be in order, too.
