What will the site look like from different streets that leads to Lakeshore road ?
The question the Gazette is asking is set out in the graphic below..
Take part in the Statutory meeting this evening and if you don’t like what you see stand up on your hind legs and bark. Do the same thing if you like what you see. It is your city – it is your park.
How sad is leadership today?? As Winston Churchill said: those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and this is so true everywhere today. OMG, we are falling so fast!
Introducing….the Marilyn’ meed ward towers. Save the waterfront, vote for me; stop development, vote for me. Hahaha; the show tonight should be fun to watch, too bad its only a video format and not in person like these things should be. Best advice – go straight to the OLT and deal with intelligent and sensible people to get the best outcome and shovels in the ground already. Don’t waste any more time with this petulant mayor and ineffective council.
