interim vice-president of Bayview Woods Neighbourhood Association
left and Loretta Murphy are fighting a proposed residential development at the Tyndale University site
Shelley Carroll prefers the dining room table over the office space in her home for work
and Loretta Murphy put up signs along Bayview Avenue in front Tyndale University to let resident know about the proposed development on the property
A newly formed North York neighbourhood association is voicing concerns over a proposal to build 15 apartment buildings on the Tyndale University site at 3377 Bayview Ave.
and the information within may be out of date
The Bayview Woods Neighbourhood Association
which ratified its constitution last month
was formed as a result of the proposed development and has circulated a petition that has more than 1,500 signatures
said the group’s interim vice-president Key Kasravi
“There’s a lot of unintended consequences that come with something like this,” he said
“We started the petition because we wanted to bring awareness to it.”
The application proposes 15 residential buildings
The buildings would have a total of 1,504 units
half of which would be affordable — the rest would be market rental
a new public street is proposed at the south end of the site
connecting Bayview with a series of private streets
which would be retained and continue to operate
including the proposed residential buildings
Kasravi said his group isn’t against development and understands there’s a shortage of housing
“What we want is something that’s harmonious within our community
a development which is sustainable and doesn’t have a negative impact on the neighbourhood and the green spaces that we have,” he said
“The majority of people that live on the outskirts of the suburbs do that purposefully
is not designated as a high-density corridor.”
and Loretta Murphy put up signs along Bayview Avenue in front of Tyndale University to let residents know about a proposed 15-building residential development on the property
Kasravi said increased vehicular traffic on an already congested Bayview is among his primary concerns
“Anybody that lives north of Lawrence knows that Bayview gets backed up from Sunnybrook (hospital) all the way up to Richmond Hill … during rush hour every day,” he said
but there’s no LRT planned nor is there a subway.”
Kasravi said he also has environmental concerns
noting the proposed development is close to a ravine and the Don River
“If as a city we’re trying to preserve green space
how do we justify building this much so close to the ravine and the river and expect it not to have an effect on groundwater
How do we control the erosion during construction?”
didn’t respond to a request for comment by deadline
the former chief planner for the city and former mayoral candidate
Markee Developments’ website described the proposed development
as a residential community that’s “affordable
sustainable” and sensitive to its surroundings
“Though details of the project will be developed through community consultation
the vision is to set a number of exciting precedents for affordable housing in the City of Toronto
affordability will be guiding principles as the vision for the project is developed with the community.”
Shelley Carroll said she’d like to have a community working group formed on this “very ambitious” application
“The eventual development on this site I expect (will) look quite different from the initial application,” she said
“There’s a lot of work to do on whether or not there are too many buildings
whether or not there are enough amenities around them
Carroll noted the proposal would include much needed “mid-range” affordable housing
“That’s what we’re looking for on this site
That’s what the applicant has made arrangements with the federal government housing initiatives to create here,” she said
stressing the number of units they’ll be able to create will depend on the planning process
STORY BEHIND THE STORY: When reporter Andrew Palamarchuk learned a new group had formed over a proposed residential development at Tyndale University
he wanted to find out more about the residents’ concerns about the impact of the project on their neighbourhood
He has been covering the crime beat since 2002 and has a passion for giving a voice to those affected by tragedy and looking at societal issues that may have contributed to it
The majority of neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area have entered underbidding territory
but homes remain out of reach for many first-time buyers
According to new data from real estate agency Wahi’s Market Pulse Tool
86 per cent of GTA neighbourhoods were in underbidding territory in October
homes in the neighbourhoods were listed between $1,600,000 and $4,000,000
making them out of reach for first-time home buyers
Of the top five neighbourhoods in the GTA for underbidding in October
the average home sold for nine per cent ( $169,000) under asking in October
while properties in Lawrence Park fetched an average of six per cent ($197,499) below the listed price
The biggest price discrepancy was found in Oakville’s Eastlake neighbourhood - homes in the area sold for an average of 10 per cent ($307,500) below the listed price last month
Wahi’s Market Pulse Tool compares sold and listed prices in nearly 400 neighbourhoods across the GTA
some parts of the region are still experiencing "strong demand and steady pricing."
seven per cent of neighbourhoods in the GTA remained in overbidding territory last month
Many are located in Markham and North York
and offer more competitively-priced properties ranging from $1,000,000 to $1,600,000
The biggest variance between sold and listed price was found in Westbrook in Richmond Hill
where homes went for an average of 14 per cent ($176,000) over asking in October
Markham’s Greensborough neighbourhood followed
with properties selling for roughly 10 per cent above the listed price
Homes in North York’s Bayview Woods-Steeles
and Markham’s Wismer neighbourhoods all sold for an average of nine per cent above asking in October

It makes sense: when people reach their retirement years, they often downsize
cutting back on housing costs and time spent on maintenance
seniors may opt to stay in their current neighbourhoods where they've already set down roots
they might be looking for a change that comes in a neighbourhood that offers plenty of daily amenities within walking distance
having easy access to things such as medical facilities is an added bonus
Today's modern retiree definitely seeks a shift in lifestyle compared to what they may have wanted when they were younger
but they may still appreciate what urban living can offer
Toronto offers some amazing neighbourhoods that are perfect for seniors
The St. Lawrence Market is a historic landmark in the city and anchors the eclectic neighbourhood of the same name
Just this amenity alone is reason enough for seniors to consider St
Lawrence a neighbourhood that should be on their shortlist
The market can serve all their daily grocery needs
and the St Lawrence Health Centre is within the community's boundaries
The neighbourhood boasts easy access to the DVP and Gardiner for commuting
as well as the Yonge Subway line and plenty of streetcars
There are also several older condominium buildings with large floor plans for those looking for one-level homes without compromising square footage
With a plethora of different housing types
High Park offers retirees and other demographics their pick of the litter in terms of real estate
The picturesque homes that line many of the streets in the area have steep staircases to reach the entrances
But there are plenty of other homes in the area that offer more ideal floor plans
there are a number of low-rise condominium apartment buildings north of Bloor along Quebec Avenue that offer decent price ranges for those looking to make good use of their retirement funds
Many of these units offer balconies that boast south views of the gorgeous High Park and Lake Ontario
High Park is still in the heart of the city but doesn't have as much hustle and bustle as downtown
and residents have easy access to the subway for convenient commutes
And with a number of amenities within walking distance
High Park makes a great place for seniors to spend their time
Considered one of the city's most prestigious areas
Forest Hill is a stunning community characterized by winding roads
and various little parks that give the neighbourhood its distinctive charm
While many residents are families with school-aged children - many of whom are there to take advantage of some of the most prestigious schools in the GTA - Forest Hill is also an ideal place to retire
The friendly and safe area is home to a number of conveniences that are within close proximity
In addition to the plethora of mansions, there are also retirement communities available, including Revera
which offers residents convenient amenities such as a fitness center
Bayview Woods-Steeles in North York is one of those communities in Toronto that has seen a rise in the proportion of retirees over the past few years. In fact, about 28 per cent of the residents in Bayview Woods-Steeles are 65 years or older
Even pre-retirement individuals have found themselves in this community
The area is picturesque and boasts a ton of greenery and ravines thanks to several branches of the Don River amalgamating in the neighbourhood
Any seniors who love to golf in their newfound free time have Bayview Golf and Country Club at their disposal just north of the neighbourhood
the Cummer Park Community Centre offers a pool
and all the ravines in the area can be used for walking
Another neighbourhood in Toronto that has seen an increase in the number of retirees is Casa Loma, with 24.3 per cent of the area's residents classified as seniors
Casa Loma itself serves as the hub of the neighbourhood and provides the perfect backdrop for any residence
The homes in the area almost seem as though they're part of a fairytale story with the oversized mansion and surrounding ravines and parklands all around
In addition to the charming homes, there is also Casa Loma Seniors Village
which offers both independent and assisted living

A new measure is being used to rank Toronto's neighbourhoods – the "neighbourhood equity score"
which combines ratings for economic opportunity
participation in decision-making and physical surroundings
change the way Toronto's 140 neighbourhoods are evaluated by city staff when they decide where to direct services
The new rankings are likely to set off a lively debate about the city's role in providing social services
and what areas of the city are most deserving of extra funding and attention – all against the backdrop of the fall civic election The new measures were developed in conjunction with researchers at St
Michael's Hospital's Centre for Research on Inner City Health and are adapted from work done by the World Health Organization
