OTHER EXAMPLES 1. Proposed Soccer Dome in Memorial Park: A proposal for a soccer dome was brought forward in 2008. A complex proposal that involved the City and the TDSB. While the final proposal never came forward, to many it was clear the Councillor was not particularly supportive of the residents who would be effected. The elected official who presented most objective thinking was School Trustee Howard Goodman.2. Parking Changes on Castlefield and St. Clements: The City drew up plans in October of 2007. The residents to be impacted were notified on the Canada Weekend that a meeting of North York Community Council was to discuss the changes on July 7. These changes would have had a significantly negative impact on the people living on these streets. Why were those people not informed until about a week before the Council Meeting? Why was the Councillor not more forthcoming? Result - Community became involved and won. 3. 1046 Avenue Road: The site of the former St. Margaret's Church is soon to be something else. Will it fall into "its2big"? Time will tell. What is known is the Councillor's office has made it known that townhouses might be proposed for thee site. What the Councillor's office has not let it known is there is an application for a change in the easement abutting the property. An obvious first step to something - but what? And, why would the Councillor's office not inform the community of this first step? |
