The townhouse project planned for the former property of Bill and Vito’s Shell service station at the northeast corner of McRae Dr. and Sutherland Dr. has been given approval by North York Community Council. The plan calls for rooftop patios on seven of the eight three-storey townhouses and an additional two-storey home on Sutherland. The development must be approved by City Council at its meeting on Monday, August. 25, 2014. The East York Mirror quotes John Parker (Ward 26) as saying the plan is a “satisfactory compromise.” Some have concerns ranging from the project’s size to fears it will change the character of the neighbourhood to possible loss of privacy from the townhouses overlooking neighbouring homes. East York Mirror Also at this meeting of North York Community Council Mr. Parker moved a motion to prohibit right turns on a red light at the corner of McRae Drive and Millwood Road.
