Monster condos threaten Queens Quay

Public meeting you must attend

By Ulla Colgrass –

Two massive proposals for 70+ storey towers on Toronto’s Central Waterfront threaten this iconic recreational area: Tridel’s 75-storey tower at 10 York Street and Menkes’ Harbour Plaza across the street at 90 Harbour Street with two 70-storey towers and an office building. Both would be twice the height of buildings along Queens Quay and more than three times the zoning allowance. Traffic is already at gridlock in this area, the most densely populated in Toronto.

Hear the opinions of people who live and work on the Waterfront. This promises to be a very lively meeting:

A public meeting viewing new plans for Tridel’s 75-storey tower at 10 York St.

Wednesday Sep. 12, from 7 to 8:30pm Metro Hall, 55 John St., Room 308/309
(south of King St.)

BUILDING without a WATERFRONT PLAN will
• cause serious traffic congestion
• stress infrastructure, transit and public spaces
• limit the vibrant life on the Waterfront

The community asks for a freeze on all over-sized developments until studies show how roads, transit, Hydro, water and sewage, police, ambulance and fire
protection, pedestrian safety and public amenities fit into a complete URBAN PLAN FOR THE WATERFRONT. (info@YQNA.ca /416. 867.6200)

Your opinion is important!

• Be ready to tell what you think about oversized buildings

• Join other residents and councillors, planners, traffic experts, developers and media
