Why this petition matters
Started by Avoca Vale Residents’ Association
- Our community is faced with a dire healthcare gap if the Development Application for 1366 Yonge St. is approved in its present form, and the existing Medical Arts Facility housing 62 doctors' offices, a urine and blood clinic, an x-ray and ultrasound facility, and a pharmacy is demolished.
- In its place, a 41 storey condominium tower will be 'squeezed' onto this site which will contravene many of the City's essential planning policies. This proposal will replace a vitally important healthcare facility
which has, for many years, served most effectively our community and its large seniors population. - This population will soon be increased significantly with the construction of a 17-storey Assisted Living building located directly across the street from 1366 Yonge St., and soon-to-begin construction of another similar facility down the street at Balmoral and Avenue Road, in addition to multiple high-rise residential projects approved or proposed for this immediate area.
- The demolition of these critical facilities at 1366 Yonge St. further exacerbates the overall ongoing removal of healthcare facilities from our community. Other neighbourhood healthcare losses include, medical offices at 29-39 Pleasant Blvd., and the proposed removal of wellness facilities contemplated at 45 St. Clair Ave West. Once these doctors, health care professionals and support labs leave, they are not coming back.
PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME BELOW to register your opposition to this very harmful Development Application for 1366 Yonge St.
