Community News & Events
St. Clair subway station renovation
February 20, 2026
Some of us have found ourselves wondering what’s happening on the lower level of the St. Clair subway station which has had some form of hoarding happening for the past few years. Apparently, this is entirely related to an elevator project.
Signal priority for St. Clair streetcars
February 20, 2026
Given current media reports about the City reviewing its options for increasing streetcar priority across the system, we made some inquiries about the current situation regarding streetcar priority signalling at intersections for the 512. As those of us who ride it regularly will have perhaps noted, it did not seem that any kind of priority signalling is in effect
Higher density development legislated in our neighbourhood
January 19, 2026
PLEASE ATTEND CONSULTATION MEETINGS
We continue to try to influence the height and density of buildings proposed for our neighbourhood and those adjacent. Our next opportunity is a public consultation happening on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026.
City of Toronto Virtual Town Hall

Lawton Blvd. – Planning report now public
December 22, 2025
The City Planning Department has now released its report on this proposed development, which you can read online or download. From our perspective it is rather weak relative to the community’s concerns.
St. Clair Place
December 22, 2025
The Wittington Group has gone to the Committee of Adjustment to propose a change to the long pending redevelopment of that corner. Broadly, our perspective is that the design changes are positive as they have buried the loading for deliveries on Alvin and improved the retail and internal public courtyard. The building on Alvin still exists but is now 25m high rather than 54m high.
Neighbourhood “blight”
December 22, 2025
We have continued to express the neighbourhood’s concerns about our rather desolate streetscape as it awaits all the approved, but as yet unbuilt developments. We have written recently written to our Councillor and included some visuals to illustrate our case.
