This is a plaza, the only retail in the neighbourhood located north of Finch Avenue.

Unless this is phase 1 of a long proposed redevelopment of the Chester Le community, I can't support that.

Removing local retail is completely contrary to the notion of 'walkability'.

I wonder if that'll be a concern in the preliminary report.

This is a rundown plaza, never been upgraded, half empty. It is not hard to tell, it is hard to survive for a commercial plaza in this size, in this location. A new residential project will give this 'sun-set' area some 'morning light'. I support this project.

Seems to be the first development from an unknown developer. Website seems to feature plenty of stock photos. Blog still has the default fillers for a Wix Site.
