Steeles Avenue around Kennedy Road is a busy place which always seems like it's getting busier.
Development plans surround on both sides of Steeles, and the Milliken GO Station nearby is currently being remade.
Just the facts:
• A developer is proposing a 10-storey medical building and two condominium towers — 26 and 23-storeys high, joined by a six-storey podium — on four properties on Steeles and along Redlea Avenue.
• Coun. Jim Karygiannis says he’s looking forward to hearing from residents at a community meeting on the proposal in late February or early March.
• Redlea is a short cul-de-sac street, but there are plans to extend Redlea south to Passmore Avenue when owners of the Splendid China mall start their own expansion project.
• The Steeles-Redlea industrial area is south of the properties, and business owners there have expressed concern that having residential development nearby could affect their operations.
One block east of Kennedy, a zoning change that got Scarborough Community Council’s preliminary approval last month could add 500 residences to an already-crowded section of road.
