If they ever decide to develop the rest of that block west of Bayview, they really should build a new road from the 401W off-ramp, to divert the traffic from the Sheppard/Bayview intersection.
It's a very inefficient intersection to begin with with it being on top of a hill.
 
Interesting proposal. I've always found those few houses on Bayview Avenue, just north of that 401 West on-ramp to be kind of 'out of place'.
 
There's been talk of condo towers here for about the last 15-20 years; North York's New York Condo Towers are just on other side of Bayview Ave. About 5 years ago, I believe the same developer/land-assembler who assembled this lot, assembled the (at the time) 4 house lots directly west of this site - tested the water at City Planning for condo tower at both assembled lots & quickly realized the best that can be done at the western site was houses - so 4 post-war bungalow lots severed into the 6 lots hosting 2-storey houses you see now.

So question now is does the proposed mid-rise respect the transition into the neighbourhood to the west including the 6 new houses I just mentioned.

11th, there's no way City would allow MTO off-ramp onto small local residential city streets. Problem is that northbound Bayview to westbound Sheppard double left-turn have difficulty handling the volume of westbound 401 vehicles avoiding troublesome Yonge-401 interchange heading to high density North York Centre.

See image posted by Marcanadian - When cars come off the westbound 401 off-ramp onto bayview, if they can't make the turn onto Bayview, the house with red roof directly south of this site is directly in the line of fire! And that's exactly what happened about 10 years ago with a car smashing into the side of that house & leaving a giant hole at the side of the house - causing extensive structural damage.

- anyone can donate to any Candidate's campaign (and the few local residents that would donate usually just contribute $100-$300)
- a Candidate can choose to accept or reject any campaign contribution
That said, getting 4 maximum allowable contribution amount on the same day from 4 different individuals outside the Ward should have raised alarm bells!
Note: Councillor Filion's Ward 18 Willowdale postal code prefixes are M2M, M2N and M2R

What are the odds that 4 employees (current & former) of a Developer - independently and randomly decides to donate the exact same maximum allowable $1,200 amount,.... to the same re-election campaign of a Councillor in a Ward where none of them live or work in,... all on the same day! Four maximum allowable contribution of $1,200 each under 4 different employee names totalling $4,800 to the re-election campaign of the local Councillor where Dormer Homes now has a development application. Anyways,.... now we know how Domer Homes conduct business,.... and it stinks!

Anyways, this development application was formally submitted on May 7, 2019 - about 6.5 months after the October 2018 election. And typically, before the official submission, the applicant had 6 month worth of discussion with City Planning to get the formal development proposal ready for official submission.

Here, this site backs up to single residential houses which limits the size and requires transition:
- the developments along Bayview south of 401 are restricted to 3-storey townhouses
- north of 401, Secondary Plan area that would allow high-rise in BayviewVillage and project of this scope along Sheppard
