It's the difference between the currently approved plan that does not permit any residential within 150 m of the rail yards and calls for commercial of up to 6000 square metres (the size of the Sobey's in the Meadowlands), compared to the vision this group has put forward for a vibrant downtown neighbiourhood that engages the water's edge.
The currently approved plan can be viewed here:

While the envisioned plan supported by the petition can be viewed here:

If you prefer the first, then don't sign the petition. Otherwise, please sign!
