From the Docs, we see a Block Context Plan that looks at how that block may develop. This is NOT plan but a concept to show how this proposal may fit w/future redevelopment.

They submitted two options:

Always reckoned that redevelopment of that shopping plaza with Beer Store and Caldense Bakery would be inevitable for someday in the future.

Would be nice to see the BMO building at the corner be maintained and integrated though. The top section is now covered with some sort of metallic material, but a look at Google streetview from several years ago reveals that it does have a (modest) cornice.

Escaping with $12;549; the hold-up men ran from the front of the Bank of Montreal branch on Royce Ave. and jumped into their waiting car. The car careened around the corner; leaped the curb to nick a pole; was indicated by dotted line; and sped north on Symington Ave.

Love this photo, and I hope this corner can maintain (or even fix up!) the existing building.
 
Goodness, that would even be a lot of cash now... 😲

But if you adjust for inflation.............

Of note......the actual $12,549 would have purchased you a house at the edge of Toronto at that time.....

The inflated value wouldn't purchase you a vacant lot anywhere in the GTA!

I get that. It's just that $12 k is still a hunk of change to probably many income earners today. And walking out with that much that isn't yours from a local corner bank would still be an impressive feat...not that I am encouraging that. >.<

Good morning 316-336 Campbell Ave registrants,

https://toronto.webex.com/recording...ing/9312190db0581039b6ff0050568fdf67/playback

I'd like to remind everyone that as the applicant indicated during the meeting last night, there is an error on the rendering found on page 17 of their slide deck that appears to show Campbell Avenue as a four lane street, there are no plans to widen Campbell Avenue through this application.

Below you will find a direct link to the City's Application Information Centre where you can download and view all the materials the applicant has submitted in support of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law: http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=AAcuqyO7C/sjuQP/xVSypA==

Please feel free to contact me and/or Deputy Mayor Bailao's office at Councillor_Bailao@toronto.ca if you have any questions or comments in relation to this application.

All the best,
VICTORIA FUSZ | Senior Planner
