93 car parking spaces seems like altogether too many for a place with this good transit and biking connections. This should be an almost wholly transit oriented development. But the general thrust of the development, and the conceptual understanding of the area is right.

Eyeballing it, that future state map is showing the development of roughly 7000 units. What's needed is similar developments to the east side as well. It would be equitable and good for the city to have similar density on other side of the Allen.

@HousingNowTO and I are working on getting some of that..........

Getting a fully equal amount is not on...........because even if zoning were put in place to allow it, current property value would make it uneconomical.

The key here is not getting the Marlee treatment on the east side, as it were, but rather getting something meaningful directly abutting Eglinton. But that requires absorbing some properties to the north.

Obviously there is no equivalent of Marlee between the Allen and Bathurst, but, if the city is going to expropriate properties to create a more substantial development on 1250 Eglinton W that would be fantastic news. I was pleasantly surprised by their plans for the Green P lot by Dufferin and if they bring that kind of energy over it's the right direction.
