Reminder: Tomorrow - Tuesday, April 14 - City Planning will submit a “Request for Direction” Report at Toronto & East York Community Council


Reminder: Tomorrow morning Tuesday, April 14 City Planning will be submitting its “request for Direction” report for approval to the Toronto / East York Community Council. It is scheduled for the morning - item 12 around 10:30. The Council is expected to approve the report which asks for changes from the developer and a number of steering committee members for the Leslieville Community Coalition Wards 30 & 32 (a.k.a. LCC/formerly ETCC) are going to give our support to the approval process. We are also going to ask for certain areas of the report to be reviewed/modified prior to it going to the OMB. The item # is TE5.12 at 10:30

We’ve been advised that it’s important to have a number of bums in seats at TEYCC.

Although Planning is recommending that their report be approved it’s possible that if there isn’t a solid vote at Community Council this round, when it gets to the full Council on May 5th, it could go off the tracks. We are asking that if you could be free, that you stand with us. It’s possible that if we do not show community support we could come across as weak and NIMBY.

We thank you for your voices in opposing this development and supporting

Good Urban Design in Leslieville!


AGENDA: Carol Deacon will be deputing on the rental housing issue, we will present a position on the proposed laneway housing, Dennis Findlay will be speaking about the proposal's impacts as a whole, and we are working to have someone from Knox speaking to the traffic issues.


Peter Tabuns, MPP (Toronto-Danforth)  has agreed to submit a letter to Community Council. His schedule doesn’t allow for him to be there in person.


Thanks again for your support, and hope to see you at City Hall, Second Floor, Committee Rm 1.
