No doubt. And I'm sure the displacement during construction is very worrisome for the community as well. things on that street though are very bleak.

No doubt. And I'm sure the displacement during construction is very worrisome for the community as well. things on that street though are very bleak.

It is - and the building in question is becoming inadequate and probably doesn't represent the best use of the property. I mean at the end of the day the area is getting gentrified and I think one should acknowledge that it is part of the rationale as well - moving away from an ultra-concentrated pocket of abject poverty is probably healthier, but what's the replacement?

Tough one.

If this comes to pass it's going to look good, and be a great change to the community.

Once this and some of the gentrification efforts are underway Allan Gardens will be dramatically changed.

 

[Tim Rogers]

It has been a long time coming for the changes that are going to happen in the next few years.

Let us all hope they are positive and life changing changes.

Latest update:

Following its approval in principle back in 2013, plans will soon be put in motion for the redevelopment of Seaton House, Toronto's largest men's emergency shelter. An aging and overburdened facility located on George Street in the city's Garden District, plans call for the 7,788 m² municipally-owned site—currently providing 634 beds—to be replaced with a new block-long nine-storey facility containing a range of uses, including 378 long-term care beds, 130 transitional living beds, 100 emergency shelter beds, 21 affordable housing rental units, and a 4,000 m² community service hub.
