Honestly until the city does something about Parkdale to reduce through traffic new developments can start somewhere else. Why can't the developer come back one more time with a 12-14 floor tower, lose a floor on the podium, break up the facade, and just maybe contribute a little more to the public realm.


Parkdale is a two-lane street being used as a regular bus route and is also the shortest connection between the parkway, scott, wellington, the 417 and carling. When i walked by this week around 11 am the entire stretch from scott to the 417 ramp except for the wellington intersection was bumper to bumper cars, trucks, and 9 (!) buses.
