First take, too much.

I'm fine with height and pro intensification, but the Main - Dawes block between Danforth and the Railway is going to be denser than City Place, St. Jamestown, or just about anywhere else in the City, it's too much all in one spot.
 

Incredibly bad planning, Far too much crammed into such a small area.

Saying 'No' to this is a first corrective step.

The second is waiting for one of the owners to not move, and then to take the property off their hands (ideally Canadian Tire) as the park should be much larger to serve this area. That likely won't happen, but it should.
 
Just highlights how dumb zoning has been. Why does all the density need to be in this single block, surrounded by single-family homes? I'm not against very tall buildings here, but I think life for everyone in the area would be better if they built up to 20/30 stories and the rest of the density was built as 4-6 story buildings in the surrounding areas.
