They've had a campaign against it going for a couple months now.
From their site:
Quote:
UrbanSolutions has proposed a 6 storey mixed-use residence to house approximately 120 students on the site where Odeon CrossFit currently sits.
The variances requested for this project include doubling the allowable building height (from 3 to 6 storeys), housing 6 times the density of people for the size of the lot, and decreasing the required number of parking spots to a mere 13!
If approved, this development will dramatically affect the character of Westdale North. It will also impact safety, traffic, parking, noise and could set an unwelcome precedent for the entire King Street West corridor.
