Hello Neighbours
Most of you are already aware that the owners of 2 Regal Rd. have submitted a proposal to make drastic changes to the site which include:
- Creating an 8-story tower of apartments at the front of our building. This tower will reach out to the sidewalk.
- Building additional apartments on the north side of the 8th floor.
- Removing many trees and green space from the property.
In total there will be 15 additional units added to our building.
You can read all the details here:
Their application to the Committee of Adjustment (COA) was denied back in September. The owners are appealing that decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (TLAB). The meeting to decide these issues is happening on May 30th and if necessary May 31st.
It’s not too late to make your views known The member from TLAB who is deciding this matter has made it clear that he wants to hear community voices and opinions.
You can participate by:
- Sending a letter (saved as a PDF) to TLAB (tlab@toronto.ca). If you are not sure what to write, we have created a form letter that you can use. Email us and we will send you a copy: tenantsof2regalroad@gmail.com.
- Sending a video to TLAB in which you express your views.
- Speaking at the TLAB meeting on May 30th and 31st. You can attend the meeting by phone or virtually through WebEx. Email us if you want the details about how to call in.
We know everyone is very busy, but I hope you can take some time to fight these changes that will affect our living environment for a long time to come.
Sincerely,
Loralee Gillis & Siobhan Cole
