City Plans to rezone our neighbourhood to permit greater heights and density

As a result of a Provincial decision, the City is rezoning neighbourhoods within 500 to 800 meters of major transit stations, or about a 10 minute walk from the Rosedale, Summerhill, Bloor/Yonge, Bay, and Museum subway stations. This targets the entire ABCRA area for large increases in heights and densities, even though significant high density development has already occurred here in recent years.

We strongly encourage residents to attend these consultations. A strong turnout can encourage responsible planning for growth.Learn about the zoning changes, ask questions, voice your concerns and provide your opinions.

Register now for Jan. 21 Virtual Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. or one of the other meetings listed in the full post.

ABC Residents Association victory at the OLT!

It’s easy to think that you can’t win at City Hall – or the OLT – but ABC’s recent victory at the Ontario Land Tribunal is proof that opposing inappropriate developments and continuing to believe in the power of communities to shape the city of Toronto is worth the effort.

“No amount of massing refinements and architectural design can cure the fundamental flaw with respect to the 39-storey height of the Proposed Development, which does not conform to the City’s OP, the Downtown Plan, and the SASP 211*. Although there is a broad provincial policy which is supportive of intensification, this does not confer an unfettered right to height.”

~ Jean-Pierre Blais, Vice Chair of the Ontario Land Tribunal

Pricefield Park playground improvements

The City of Toronto has identified Pricefield Park as an important amenity for the accessibility, liveability and mobility of the residents in the surrounding area. The City is seeking community input about its detailed proposal for significant improvements to Pricefield Road Park.
