On Monday, December 17th an important meeting will be held on the site of a proposed condo and commercial development at the Bloor Street United Church, McClure Hall, on the corner of Bloor and Huron.
That development would back on to 9 Madison Ave which is the site selected for the planned International Estonian Centre. The Annex Residents’ Association (ARA) has participated with developers and the City in multiple meetings about the development which seemingly has resulted in a revised application for a 27-storey mixed use building with 251 residential units and two separate mezzanines in the base building.
At 27 storeys the building at 300 Bloor St. West would be lower than was initially proposed but would still be higher than the neighbouring Tartu College.
For more details, see the
City’s Preliminary Report.

So no money to stay on Broadview but somehow there are millions to go to Madison. Doesn't compute. Why not use those millions on Broadview - their own report says that they only need $3m.

No matter how much I try to talk myself into supporting Madison, I have a bad feeling about it in the pit of my stomach. I honestly have tried, and I can't make the dread and doubt about a wrong decision go away.
My fear is that we will not have enough money for Madison either. Cost overruns will happen and building over the subway by well-meaning community members yet dilettante building project leads will very likely bankrupt this project. I am not being mean, I believe I'm being realistic.
Add to this, that half the community does not support building in congested down-town and we have ended up with our own Brexit... elites calling the shots to the exclusion of half the community -- working class and seniors feeling shut out and angry and vowing to rent more affordably elsewhere.
There must be a better and more inclusive way.

I read the multi-page document from the city planner. I in fact was pleased to read about the 9.5 metre setback. That is considerable in the city of Toronto. While I would have liked to be on Broadview, had there been the funds to allow for this, I am accepting of the move to Madison. We have to be to forward looking. Let's embrace the move to the new location.
