I like that there is a mixed usage and better planning for this small area.View attachment 220970
1881 STEELES AVE W
Ward 06 - North York District
Zoning Bylaw Amendment application for the proposal of a one 11 storey, two 12 storey and 27 storey buildings. The proposal would have 1171 residential units, 3502 sqm of commercial retail space fronting onto both Steeles Avenue West and Dufferin Street, and 1206 parking spaces.
Proposed Use --- # of Storeys --- # of Units ---
Type Number Date Submitted Status Applications: Rezoning 19 262484 NNY 06 OZ Dec 17, 2019 Under Review
However, I have a few concerns:
1. Isnt this project on a flight path for Pearson and Bombardier at Dowsview airport where buildings are kept to a maximum height of 10 stories? Planes are pretty low at this intersection.
2. The traffic in this area is insane. What are the proposals by the city for increasing the lanes from 2 to 3 on Dufferin Street between Finch and Steeles to accomodate traffic going North and South.
3.The plan looks like part of the project encroaches/ enters the public park to the East of it with an 11 story tower destroying the integrity of the park that many people use.
4. Since many families are looking for affordable housing would increasing the number of 2 bed units to 3 be a better option?
