| 70 Wicksteed development has an odd “Salamander”shape. |
The aftermath of the meeting to discuss the Wicksteed Ave development has left some ratepayers disappointed. Paddy Duncan of Leaside Unite has written to say some of those present feel that Councillor Parker is not been sufficiently supportive of the community’s opposition. She stresses the conditional nature of Official Plan which says that it may allow retail big box in the area. For his part, Mr. Parker says on his website that his ability to oppose the development is limited because the plan permits big boxes and because there are already such stores in operation. In any case, the residents are determined to pursue their opposition. They have formed a working group with representatives from the LPOA, Leaside Unite, the Leaside Business Park Association and Bayview business owner. They hope to meet with Councillor Parker and City staff very soon in the hopes of finding a way forward.
