You are invited to a special meeting regarding the recently completed Bloor West Village Urban Design Charrette seminars. These three brainstorming sessions brought together representatives of several local residents associations, private citizens and professional planners to discuss our community’s vision for the future of Bloor West Village.

The impetus for the Charrette was the application made by the Tridel Corporation to build two large condo towers west of Bloor and Jane on the former Old Mill car dealership site.

As part of the application, Tridel was required to commission several studies that bear on the future of the rest of Bloor West Village. They identified other “soft” sites that are likely to be re-developed in the future; they modeled the sorts of buildings might go on them; they assessed the traffic impact of the Tridel project; and, assessed whether this was likely to set a precedent for height and density in the Village area.

Much information and food for thought came from the Charrette process that we, as participants in it, feel should be shared with you our members.

In attendance will be a member of City of Toronto Planning Department, a representative of Tridel Corporation, and a representative of the Old Mill Residents Association (which has commissioned its own studies in opposition to the Tridel application.)
