Pre-Application Community Meeting: June 20, 2016
Toronto Public Library – Parkdale
Presentation from Developer 6 Noble Street Developments, click here:
Community comments/concerns with application:
- Building height and density; building should reflect the character of the neighbourhood and integrate well into the surrounding housing. Current proposal (14 storeys + mechanical penthouse) is taller than the community is comfortable with
- Overflow of parking into surrounding area
- Increased traffic in neighbourhood
- Adequate bicycle parking
- Suggestions of a possible community run bike repair facility to be included in the building
- Concerns about the price point of the units being built; the developer says it is seeking to build units that are affordable for the neighbourhood
- Pedestrian crossing safety with consideration towards the Queen/Dufferin intersection
- Capacity of TTC to deal with increased patronage
- Concern about construction length, with developer estimating 18-24 month construction period
- What are the effects going to be in the neighbourhood of three large buildings going up at once?
