Old University has absorbed and absorbed it has lost and lost. This diverse neighbourhood with elderly and small children is now car lined streets and speed. Garbage left out for days. The beauty giving way to the transit student housing

The current tenants should not b forced out of their homes for the sake of an owner to make more money.

Keep our Old University neighbourhood for those who live here not for profit driven developers.

Seems ridiculous to dear down a beautiful older building to replace it with fast, cheap townhouses

I totally agree with the sentiments expressed in the petition. I understand the need for housing. But the creation of future housing stock CANNOT be at the unmitigated expense and detriment of existing neighbourhoods.

As a resident of one of these units, it was dosgusting finding out about this after living here almost 5 years from the sign posted out front. The proposal to remove the RENT CONTROLLED semi- detached units of 61-63 to build NOT rent-controlled semi- detached units of the same square footage is appalling and does nothing to support renters. The community of old university does not want this…. Large developers do.

As one of the renters living in 61, it was heart breaking to find out we may loose our house from a sign on the road. This is nothing more than our property owner wanting to make more money, with complete disregard of the community, historical significance of the building and renter wants. Removing a rent controlled semi- detached home to build the exact sized non- rent controlled unit is appalling and not helping to solve the housing crisis.

I lament the loss of old buildings but recognize the need to increase residential capacity in the city, especially on a street like College Ave. The replacement structures that are planned appear to be bland, suburban style, car oriented boxes. I support development if that development supports the city and neighbourhood by being of higher quality.

The city has sold itself to spruce living. There need to be limits on how many properties they can own!!!!

We never saw the signs right around the corner as college Ave w is closed to us from here. I would suggest that because of this restriction in traffic direction that there was not sufficient neighbourhood consultation.

We are surprised that the hearing for this is tomorrow. As you may know College Ave is under construction and we simply don’t go that way because of the construction. And since the meeting is tomorrow we only found out by word of mouth. We are unable to attend - but feel this is not a correct process with proper neighborhood consultation.

Signing based on lack of communication with current tenants.

Another quick proposal being pushed through in short term without proper consultation from neighbourhood.

Uncontrolled overdevelopment is not acceptable. The city has an obligation to plan properly. Please heed this this petition.
