The referenced 19 storey project is proposed for the north side of Eglinton West west of  Castleknock and includes the buildings from Starbucks to Josephsons Optical.

The OPA is working in conjunction with the Avenue Road Eglinton Community Association (our neighbours to the north) to oppose the project as presented.

This proposal contravenes the Yonge-EgIinton Secondary Plan of maximum 8 storeys; sets a dangerous precedent & violates the preservation of the character of the Egiinton Way Village.

Councillor Mike Colle (Ward 8) is hosting a Community Meeting with Planning on Friday April 19 at IOam-11:30am to provide a project update and to hear your concerns.

The City of Toronto is planning to make changes on Oriole Parkway as part of upcoming road resurfacing. The changes support the City’s commitment the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. The Plan’s goal is to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads safer for everyone, especially for seniors, school children, and people walking and cycling.

The greening of the Oriole Parkway centre median supports the City of Toronto’s objectives to increase tree canopy coverage and will help provide local mitigation to climate change.

IMPORTANT -ACTION REQUIRED BY DECEMBER 10.2023

We have received the following 2 surveys from the City of Toronto .

The most important is survey #1 relating to new bicycle routes in the City for the period 2025-2027.

We currently have an existing route on Lascelles but the plan appears to include Duplex as well as Yonge Street north of Chaplin and Davisville.

Please respond to at least Survey #1 as this issue is important to our community. There is an interactive map where you may make comments.

The Bicycle Lobby is strong and supported be City Council.

Unfortunately, our previous encounters with the City on this issue have not been productive and we have felt that our (as well as other Ratepayers Groups were not taken seriously or that they listened to our concerns.

PLEASE CIRCULATE TO YOUR NEIGHBOURS OR OTHERS IN YOUR CIRCLE.

If you have comments please send them to Councillor Josh Matlow Josh.Matlow@toronto.ca and copy the OPA at oriolepk@hotmail.com.
