RIP Raymond.
Yeah this area is going to turn into a complete gongshow of a mess the way all of these proposals are coming online, bringing absolutely nothing to the table except for tons of residences. Well there is that one proposal further north on Concorde Pl which is proposing some institutional space, but asides from that there's: no significant retail being planned, no community centre, no recreational space, etc.The insane density in this area continues to be completely baffling to me - regardless of the heritage issues here. Also - 76% of units won’t have parking. Who would want to live in this location without a car? It’s baffling.
It’s also always fun to see the total residential GFA decline significantly but the total unit count increase… yup, no problems there!

But yet somehow people are magically going to walk over to Eglinton and take the Crosstown and go who knows where, to access all the things that their community is going to lack?
This is going to be a failed island of a neighborhood, and i'd never consider living in this incoming mess.

I'd say i'm very familiar with most areas of this city, but Malvern is one that I cant really comment much one since that's one of the few areas I have yet to be around.Do you know what this reminds me of? Malvern............
I mean Malvern didn't even have the faintest pretense of higher order transit when it went up; but this is only slightly better.
The Crosstown is not easily accessible at this location, transit on Wynford is nothing to write home about; and walking/cycling conditions are mediocre at best.
The idea of this community arrived solely out of developer chutzpah and fear of the OLT; nothing else. There was is and was no rational planning to support it.
I would vote for the provincial party that promised a legislative rollback, the abolition of the OLT and sent all of the developers here the bill for City-incurred costs to date on their applications.
This is not the way to plan a City.
