We, the area residents and affected parties, petition the City of Toronto to deny permission to develop the property known as 42 Park Lawn Road as the proposed construction will compromise the safety of the residents and will add to the existing traffic congestion in the area of Park Lawn Road, the Gardiner Expressway and Lakeshore Boulevard.


The issue: A request has been made to the City of Toronto to develop the property known as 42 Park Lawn Road. This property lies adjacent to the south boundary of 88-90 Park Lawn Road, also known as South Beach. The request is to build a 41-storey, 321-unit condominium on this 33 metre wide property together with a 2-storey commercial building. The concerns: The area residents and affected parties have the following concerns regarding the proposed development: • The proposed construction is within 20 feet of the South Beach property line which lies adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub on the South Beach property. Construction will compromise the safety of residents enjoying this area. • The proposed construction also lies adjacent to the only access to the underground parking area at South Beach. Safe access to the underground parking will be compromised. • Park Lawn Road, the Gardiner Expressway and Lakeshore Boulevard are already heavily congested with traffic. Several thousand new condo units are planned or are currently under construction in the area. The proposed construction will add to this congestion. • The height of the proposed building (380 feet) is out of keeping with that of the adjacent building at 88-90 Park Lawn Road (approximately 270 feet). • Relationship of development to the valley and conformity with concept plan for Mimico Creek Improvements. • The lack of local resident awareness to the re-zoning and lack of transparency. • Servicing capacity • Construction Noise will add to the existing intolerable noise pollution the current residents are suffering from and will pro-long it by years. • Public Arts opportunity • Poor city planning with Lack of investment in public transportation and municipal services to service huge growth in population. We, the area residents and affected parties, petition the City of Toronto to deny permission to develop the property known as 42 Park Lawn Road as the proposed construction will compromise the safety of the residents and will add to the existing traffic congestion in the area of Park Lawn Road, the Gardiner Expressway and Lakeshore Boulevard.

been talking to a few people at the city who say they are noticing the volume of emails they are getting about park lawn. it feels like they cant ignore the traffic and safety issues much longer if we keep the pressure up.

i honestly cant believe how fast this is moving. seeing so many people speak up about the park lawn mess is proof that we all see exactly how bad this plan is for our neighborhood.

I oppose the development - this should have been bought by the city to add green space - with first capital taking over christie and having all the other condos - sightline - shoadows - traffic is already bad enough - it sucks for the developer but this should turn to a park for residnets to also take pressure off the waterfront and be a link to the park on legion road

I recently bought a condo at west lake and will be moving in soon. This area will be to congested if such big building is built beside two other huge buildings. This should be a entertainment/retail/natural park area.

The city has done nothing to improve what is already a unsafe condition on Park Lawn Road. It is extremely dangerous to exit our building and this added population will only lead to further opportunity for accidents. The street improvements should be addressed first!

A line should be drawn as for how much can one buid in a given area. In this case it is clearly we are letting greed comes before the environment. This will bring down the Real Estate value and most important will bring down the quality of life in the neighbourhood.

Development is not in keeping with the size of the site and surrounding already developed properties.

I own a condo in this building and would find it very intrusive to have another high-rise building so very close to me. It would be disruptive in terms of privacy, traffic, dust, pollution as well as blocking sunlight and view. It would interfere with our enjoyment of the outside pool and cause congestion in the area.

There is now way park lawn would be able to handle more traffic. This is poor planning on the city’s part. Safety would also be a huge concern.
