Toronto is about to sign a 20 YEAR LEASE with the Palais Royale Corporation that would cover green waterfront parkland with a private gravel parking lot. Help STOP the immediate destruction of waterfront parkland.
We NEED your help in presenting Mayor Miller with signatures no later than June 28, 2006.
Pegasus Group Inc. is doing a great job renovating the old Palais Royal with the intention of renting out the site for private functions and events. Unfortunately the Palais Royale Corporation is now pushing the city to sign a 20 YEAR LEASE that would establish a private 135 car gravel parking lot on currently treed waterfront parkland.
Not only does the lease grant the Palais Royale Corporation a private parking lot in the waterfront area, it also diverts city funds of $500,000 for the initial construction costs and administration fees of this parking lot. Your tax money!
The current lease and the proposed waterfront parking lot lease are not available to the public so a
The Palais Royale Corporation keeps hiding this lease in the shadows but our momentum is making it impossible for them to ignore us. They want to pave over our parkland with our own tax dollars and I am done with their greed. Keep the pressure on because we are not backing down until this deal is dead.

This is ridiculous. We dont need more parking lots on the waterfront. Leave the green space alone its the only place people can actually go to relax in the city.

Are you kidding me?? $500k of tax money for a private gravel lot? Use that money to fix the potholes instead. Total waste.
