The intersection is over capacity and poses a major issue for both this development and the much larger one (170 units) to the north of it.
Yah, I feel this is somewhere they could have sneaked something tall-ish past the zoning. It is a weird site.would've expected for more height here given the absence of a consistent Right Of Way on this stretch of dundas w the traffic island and the metrolinx lands.

Fair enough. Not sure I'd call this a "major issue", but perhaps these projects will provide the necessary impetus for the City to actually give this messy intersection some attention.It's at 110% according to the traffic study for the proposal on the site to the north
If you get rid of the "sorta rooming house" is removing low income housing. Not good.Two comments:
1. This development definitely needs to take over 22 Brad Street as well. The whole concept looks really weird right now (see image 4 in the front page story). A new condo nearly wrapping around a sorta rooming house type of building feels off.
2. Townhouses opening onto that stretch of Dundas W with the traffic moving at near highway intensity isn't very exciting. Some retail could have worked better. I'm sure it'll still sell but...
