A TOWNHOUSE
The development, near Yonge and Eglinton, was to be four storeys and 80 units, situated in close proximity to detached homes. The prospect so terrified some 50 residents that they formed the Density Creep Neighborhood Alliance and launched a Save Our Streets (SOS) campaign.
INCENDIARY QUOTE: “Right now all the houses are $1.1 to, say, $2.2 [million] but they’re looking at putting in places that are only $500,000.”—Lisa Goodwin, area resident
THE OUTCOME: The developer has appealed to the OMB.
