is that old building going to be torn down?

The project looks a little misguided - looking at the small site map, I am not sure it can be done without destroying the structure.

The building on the site would be demolished but it's not an old building, it's relatively new...

It looks like the old building would remain as it should being that it's the village hall.

Erindale Community Hall is owned by the City and designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. It's not going anywhere. In any case, I'd rather see addition that is similar in style to the existing building than the current soulless proposal.

Wasn't YYzed part of the original development?

It needs some retail along the main street to make the area less car dependent.

No, not in this case. Nobody is walking that stretch of Dundas with the credit river to the west, Erindale park to the North and only a smattering of houses to the south and east.

Every development is an opportunity to make an area better, for instance, by adding amenities like local businesses on the ground floor and professional services. This development will bring plenty of new residents to the area, who will want to have retail within close proximity to their homes.
UTM is within walking distance, which could support a variety of main street businesses. There are many more people within a 15-20 minute walk from this location in the Erindale Woodlands and Sherwood Forest neighbourhoods. This location is also a 5-10 minute bike ride from many people's homes. They could allow street parking in front of the building for more of a main street feel.
Many people want walkable and bikable communities, but they're getting priced out of the pre-amalgamation city of Toronto house and condo markets in favour of the 905. They should be able to find communities they enjoy throughout the region.

This is a lonnnnnnnnnng walk from UTM, and the local density is really low, so there'd but little demand to sustain regular shops here. The only commercial that might work on this site is live-work condo units at grade.
