Public virtual hearing set for Mimico residents into massive redevelopment, including this 33 storey tower.
A public meeting into a major development that will change the landscape of Mimico will take place on May 8.
A proposal to build a 33 and 10 storey mixed use towers with an eight-storey base building including a mezzanine floor will be heard by the City Planning Division.
The planned development is located at 2405-2411 and 2417 Lake Shore Blvd. W., on the south side of Primrose Avenue, just west of Superior Avenue.
This 33-storey tower is proposed to go on the south side of Lake Shore Blvd. W., and Mimico Avenue.
The meeting will take place virtually online or by phone from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
“The proposal has a total gross floor of about 32,792 square metres, including about 345.5 square metres of retail space on the ground floor,” according to a Planning Division notification. There will be “a total of 471 residential units, including 22 rental replacement units, in various unit sizes.”
It said a Rental Housing Demolition Application has been submitted to demolish 22 rental units.
An east-west road is planned behind Mimico Square and will run to Superior Ave. Further plans propose more towers south of the roadway facing the lake front.
Some of these homes and businesses on the south side of Lake Shore Blvd. W., just west of Superior Avenue are proposed to be demolished for the new development.
The group said a new public road would take away lands from the park, children’s playground, Amos Waite pool and Mimico Square.
The park abuts the popular Waterfront Trail, and features two playgrounds, a splash pad, an outdoor pool and a centre for seniors and the disabled.
Letters have been sent to the City by the Mimico Residents Association (MRA) and Mimico Lakeshore Community Network (MLCN) opposing the proposed megaproject.
Those concerned are asked to submit their comments in advance to the City Planning Division. The meeting can be accessed on this line Application Information Centre – 2405 LAKE SHORE BLVD W (toronto.ca)
