It was a whopper of an application that was cleared by the OLT
Are we trying to build condo ghost towns like Toronto? This isn’t planning, it’s absurd. Other than the developers and their friend Ford, who wants this? So much for flood relief protection measures.
Never mind “Good luck to tenants trying to exit to Appleby along with Go train travellers. Good luck to anyone living in the complex who experiences an emergency, and needs ambulance, police or firefighters. If Appleby/Fairview is the only route in one could die of a heart attack or burn to a crisp before a first responder arrives on the scene.

Graham they will all need to have bikes. Let’s not refer to this as planning as it is clearly not.
And no plans to complete the link up of Fairview St to Harvester!.
That property has always been there to complete Fairview to the east.
Good luck to tenants trying to exit to Appleby along with Go train travellers.
Of course many will have bikes I suppose.
Insane planning.
