Join Us for the Protest Against the Destruction of Affordable Housing & Our Beloved Long Branch Community!
Let’s come together at the park near Long Branch Ave and Park Blvd (near the Cenotaph) to stand up against the destruction of affordable housing and the Long Branch community. Our voices matter, and it’s time to make them heard.
Together, we can make a difference and protect our community. Don’t miss this opportunity to show your support and fight for what’s right!
They want to close off Lake Promenade, deadending the drive along the lake, which will make adjuant streets even busier. There will be no visitor parking for Long Branch Park. All this for just more unaffordable and unwanted small condos!
Over 1,000 tenants’ lives will be disrupted as well as thousands of homeowners from the neighbourhoods of Alderwood, Long Branch, New Toronto and Mimico. There will be tens of thousands of construction trucks using local streets over the 12-15 years of construction. There will be traffic, noise and lots of dirt.
Their newly revised and still secret plan now goes up to 40 stories from 7 currently. And they want to 4x the density of this small site, far from public transit (40 minutes to Kipling Station!). They’ll add 3,000 people to a small parcel of land and with fewer than 1,200 parking spaces.
Join us to make some noise that developers do not own this city and homeowners and tenants do have a voice. The ice cream truck will there serving delightful treats as well as some passionate speakers. Join us and bring friends and family. And enjoy the lake view.
