A bit of advance notice: we’re still finalizing the details, but odds are excellent that the BWVRA Parkdale-High Park MP candidates debate will be Wednesday April 27 in the evening.
Save the date!
Dear Bloor West residents:
You’re invited to a panel which will provide you with a chance to meet the leading contenders (this is not an “all” candidates meeting) for Toronto mayor.
They include Councillors Joe Pantalone, Rob Ford and Giorgio Mammolitti as well as George Smitherman, Rocco Rossi and Sarah Thomson.
The panel is at 7:00 pm May 5, Runnymede United Church, 432 Runnymede Road, 2 blocks north of Bloor.
As always, it will provide you with a good opportunity to renew your BWVRA membership or to take one out in order to support activities such as this.
Hope to see you then.
Steve McNally
BWVRA Chair
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.)
Time & Place:
Tuesday, December 1st – 7:30pm
Runnymede United Church – 432 Runnymede Rd.
Kingsbury Room (second floor)
(look for the BWVRA sign on the door at the far end of the courtyard.)
We look forward to seeing you. If you have any questions in advance, please contact us at info at bwvra.ca.
