Toronto is trying to make neighborhood commercial legal again.
When we did this in Baltimore nearly a decade ago, the same claims that neighborhoods would be overrun/destroyed were levied by the very same folks opposing zoning reforms to improve housing options and affordability in Baltimore today.

A new vision for Toronto’s neighbourhoods — welcoming back small shops and services
City Council will consider zoning changes that would allow small businesses to open closer to where people live, making neighbourhoods more vibrant, walkable and connected.

A project shouldn't exist unless it furthers adopted city plans and complies with law.
We've flagged noncompliance months in advance of resurfacing every year.
There's enough funding and time every year to fix this problem.
Agency leadership just needs to do it.

The third bill, scheduled for September 18th, is no less significant. It will permit the construction of apartment buildings up to six stories high using a single staircase. This makes it possible to build much more creatively, and densely, on small or awkward parcels.

In Pittsburgh, they’re smart enough to treat their waterfronts like the social and environmental assets that they are. There are multi-use paths, boardwalks, parks, and abundant nature along the city’s rivers. Baltimore MUST do better than a freaking dump!!!
At Bikemore, we believe the Jones Falls Valley can and should be realized as a world-class linear park. We don't believe relocation of a waste transfer facility fits into that vision.
