1	Davis	Mirza		CA	We still have time to save the half-round...either at the Ont. Municipal Board or when T.O City Council meets to approve the site plan in late 2006. Contact your Councillor and pass along the petition link to save the Riverdale Hospital building. Many thanks.

3	Phyllis	Creighton		CA	Save the unique halfround building: Toronto needs its architectural heritage for a living community.

6	Karin	Farkashidy		CA	The Bridgepoint Hospital is a unique structure, beautifully situated and designed to blend into its natural surroundings. Please do not destroy this solid, well built structure. Find another use for it but do not destroy it. So many unique landmarks in Toronto downtown are already gone. Do not add this to the list. Thank you.

13	steve	russell		CA	i found the public meetings very discouraging. with neighbour against neighbour and patient against non-patient. where were the bridgepoint board members who had concocted this artificial contest? not there, were they?
14	Matthew	Salathiel		CA
15	Robert	Bathgate			A beautiful building which surely can be incorporated into the new project . Do not sell my name or email address please.

17	Marguerite	Pilger		CA	Riverdale hospital is an important part of our history and it is an important example of older architecture in Toronto. I consider it a beautiful building and would like to see it preserved. This building has great value to me and is one of the things that makes me happy to be living in Toronto.
18	Anonymous	Anonymous		CA	We can't afford to lose a landmark building on a landmark site for a series of buildings that the city doesn't need and the community doesn't want.
19	Jane	Burgess		CA	There is room for both the new hospital and the halfround on the site. The city should come forward and partner with a group that needs health related assisted housing

23	Anonymous	Anonymous			This whole issue was pre-decided before any so-called public input meetings. The city has sold 3 parcels of park land to Bridepoint Health. It is not about preserving building over patients. No one is anti-hospital. Against the advie of all heritage experts, architects, urban planners, developers and citizens that took time off work to offer alternative solutions like moving the New Hospital slightly south to retain the half round as a condo, housing or medical mall, Paula Fletcher or Marian Walsh won't have it any other way. If it is a matter of opinion, they obvoiusly have no taste or appreciation for Great City Heritage Buildings. The truth needs to be exposed here. This has been pushed through without a proper designation process and consultation that fell on deaf ears. This is a perfect example of a back room deal worth 220 million in provincial funding and 3 new condos on prime real estate handed over by the City.

25	Robert	Hercz		CA	The half-round is one of a kind, beautifully integrated with its site, and a cherished piece of local history. The next generation will never forgive us for replacing a unique and charming building with yet another bleak and soulless block of concrete.
26	Ivy	Lim-Carter		CA	Individuals/Government in Toronto have a history of destroying anything of architectural interest in favour of building something 'new'. How can Toronto rank itself on the same level as other worldclass cities that people flock to visit when it has no soul?

29	Rhonda	Costas	OR	CA	They want to clear-cut 150 lod growth trees along the Don Valley...Torontonians will not let this happen!
30	Anonymous	Anonymous			please think about the consequences. let's preserve our past.
31	Catherine	Nasmith		CA	this is tragedy, created by goldplated and inflexible standards for health care and roads...leaving the only flexibility on the site in the existing hospital. It is criminal to waste such a culturally significant and sound structure...how can this be prudent financial planning?

36	Anonymous	Anonymous		CA	Suggest you allow me to type in the province I live in rather than forcing a UScentric view!
37	Elise	Rowan		CA	We can not let this space be destroyed!
38	Peter	Sutherland		CA	The sale of public property to individuals or entities whose intentions include using the property in ways that will affect the adjacent neighbourhood should be subjected to the same consultation process as that imposed upon private projects which seek a 'variance' from the official City Plan. The wise public servant knows that the dollars got are nowhere near the value lost when the city sells another asset. Good custodians of the public trust do not do things like this. This move is so NORTH YORK.

42	Debra	Matheson		CA
43	Michael	Simla		CA	It is a stunning building, it would be a shame to wreck it...
