I think you're mistaken. The proposal would bring the North and South sections of Perth Ave closer to alignment, normalizing the intersection and allow for pedestrian crossing on both sides. Currently they are offset.

Love Redpath. Love seeing the big ships in the harbour. Only thing I would ask would be to replace this ugly chain link fence with a beautiful brick wall, or maybe a wrought iron fence. A little bit of beautification would go a long way.
EOY Update: still a blight on the neighbourhood and a living indictment of Toronto's failed housing policy 18 years since this thread started! Fingers crossed for 2026!
