could this all have been avoided if the city just followed the contractual requirements to wait until zoning permission granted, before buying materials?

another little detail on the vinyl wrap about H-Mart, there's also a bakery opening up too... hopefully baked on site, but either way a nice add for the neighbourhood https://www.tljus.com/

thank you again for engaging about this, and sharing info what i get from it now is this: ... in the 175 cummer situation, the site was chosen by the city for modular homes. then it turns out the site is already zoned for seniors only. that's an outdated practice, and once the city knew it they...

thank you for sharing! from what i see it's not zoned for seniors, yet still the city's website shows it's being operated for seniors exiting homelessness (people 55+) ... would that mean that the zoning is not discriminatory, but the actual effect of how it's operating is?

yes, thank you ... is there something in it that explains how Cedarvale is appropriate for seniors only, despite all of the notions that doing that is discriminatory? i am just baffled by this situation, and appreciate anything that helps understand it, and how development is made to happen or...

seems this was put up recently... Holding provision being lifted to permit construction of Phase 2

for 175 Cummer, yes - during the virtual community sessions it was stated by the city staff multiple times that the zoning is for seniors only, and they wanted that changed for the Cedarvale site, no, but if it isn't zoned for seniors then i find that even more disturbing. why? it is in Brad...

is the modular housing built at 540 Cedarvale housing seniors only? "Cedarvale will specialize in housing single seniors exiting homelessness or with insecure housing. Residents will have access to experienced staff in the building 24/7, consisting of professionals who are trained to support...

thank you for explanations to help understand what they were arguing, and how solid their premises were. however there have also been many indications throughout this situation that the site is already currently zoned for seniors only. it might be archaic and unliked by planner, but it's been...

i watched the video, and read those tweets in the link, and am amazed at how different they seem to be. maybe Sean truly thought he's describing what he heard, but humans can be so clouded by bias that they distort or cherrypick what they're hearing. this was an interesting example of cognitive...

thanks for sharing the link yesterday! Day 2 is also on youtube now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7OFCVoLt5c

sidewalk along yonge is being built. cladding on the angular features is being gradually installed

also, about the hoarding coming down - yes, it came down about 5 days ago (but, only for the phase 1 area, phase 2 hoarding still remains). also most of the supplies in staging area have been removed for about the same amount of time. they also moved their security booth from the southwest...

a question about the use of already allocated section 37 money for the m2m development, appreciate if anybody can answer. i see on this thread that the phase 2 is in limbo, with Aoyuan putting it up for sale. i see also they've already sold units, and the building is designed already. what the...

Keesmat just announced Tyndale Green approved

from what i read in the 19 numbered requests (with sub-articles within each of them) in the city council motion, many of them are demanding exactly that. there was a lot in it about examining the procurement procedures and assessing who got what money. i may be wrong, and if anybody can clarify...

wow, a council motion filled with requests to do better, does that mean they're finally firing Abi Bond for messing up so much? i've never read a council motion, so hoping somebody can help me read between the lines and understand what council is asking for it seems to say: before you approve...

and the councillour's response to the article: https://www.lilycheng.ca/post/regarding-the-motions-moved-for-175-cummer-ave-proposed-supportive-housing-location

projections? anyways, this is a forum to discuss developments and construction. not so much about psychological development and constructs. thank you to the earlier contributor who posted the city council document by people who have the actual ability to get things done, looking forward to this...

wow, seems they John Filion and Abi Bond really should have thought about all of that before 1) not having zoning permission, 2) acquiring all of the materials, 3) buying all that stuff without zoning permission despite it being a contractual requirement for the federal funds, to have zoning...
