A final decision on the development at 1860 Bayview Ave. at Broadway Ave has been released by the Ontario Municipal Board. There will not be any surprises for those who have followed the matter. The developer, Starbank Developments 1860 Corp., acquiesced to residents concerns relating to traffic. There will be road-widening along both Bayview and Broadway and a northbound left-turn lane “to direct traffic onto the site.” Elsewhere, there would be “various restrictions on turning notably to limit traffic into the neighbouring residential community.” It appears from a diagram that there will be an entrance and/or exit into the in-building parking on Bayview with a similar feature on Broadway. There will be, it is said, 193 parking spaces. The OMB decision quotes Starbanks as saying that while parking “would not (conform) to the 1960’s standards foreseen in the by-law, parking spaces would be ample in light of today’s actual parking requirements, with the added feature of ‘generous drive aisle width’ to make people very comfortable’ parking inside.” Diagram
