People Plan Toronto

RioCan REIT’s development application for the Yonge-Eglinton site has caused considerable controversy recently.  The Yonge Eglinton Square Coalition, comprised of the four residents’ associations that represent each of the four quadrants of the intersection, want to save the square on the northwest corner of Yonge and Eglinton from being destroyed to make room for more retail, and are asking for public support.  But other parties – including The Globe & Mail’s Marcus Gee, in a column on March 30 – support RioCan’s proposal as an improvement to the public realm.  City Council will vote on this issue on March 31, or, given the long line of deputants, maybe April 1.
