Junction SATISFYING SLURP residents relieved new build isn’t condos LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Much to the relief of several local residents and the city councillor, a modest townhouse development – not a condominium tower – is being proposed for the corner of Dundas Street West and Gilmour Avenue. At a recent pre-applicaProposal tion meeting that attracted for nine, as many as three-storey 2 0 n e a r by residents to townhomes the Annette still in the Recreation works Centre, the majority of those who attended agreed the possible addition to the neighbourhood was a good one. “Ninety-nine per cent was positive feedback,” ParkdaleHigh Park Councillor Sarah Doucette told The Villager. “I think it’s great, a great idea. I’m absolutely thrilled that someone’s not coming in with a proposal for a monstrosity.” It is still early days in the process. Developer Kevin Wassermuhl of Portal Realty Corp. said a proposal is in the works and will be submitted to the city in the near future. >>>DEVELOPER, page 12

UP’s random bells keeping residents up at night RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com When it comes to the Union Pearson (UP) Express, Tom Hasiak is full of praise for the new rapid transportation service connecting downtown with

Toronto Pearson airport – with one exception. “It’s a great new economic engine going through the neighbourhood,” says Hasiak of UP. “Except for the ringing bells going through the neighbourhood.”

Since the service launched in early June, Hasiak, board chair of the Glenlake condominium located at 2495 Dundas Ave. W., has received complaints from residents due to the abrasive train bells which UP operators sound while approaching or

leaving UP’s Bloor stop located almost adjacent to the building. The bells ring approximately every seven-and-a-half minutes from 5 a.m. until after two in the morning seven days a week >>>METROLINX, page 7
