Dear Sir/Madam, I have lived…

Dear Sir/Madam, I have lived in the Yonge Eglinton area for the past 5 years. I recognize that property owners have the right to build larger and more modern buildings in the area and that we have to live with construction. However, there are limits set by the city on height, set-backs etc. that have been ignored too long. Another 6 high rise buildings will be built around me. When one project barely finishes more are popping up. This is acceptable had the City clearly determined the stresses on our city and our area. The infrastructure at some point will not be able to handle this influx. Going on the transit at this time (minus the under construction condos soon to be finished) on my street alone, is a challenge. Subways are filled to the brim and cannot seem to manage the workload today, let alone with new inhabitants in the area. Yes, the LRT is coming, but if it is the downtown route that is overwhelming. A friend actually goes north on the subway first so she can get a spot on a subway without waiting for the next train, before heading south. The construction companies are not sensitive to the neighbourhood, their trucks and heavy loads have eaten up the streets. Traffic is impossible on Roehampton as we accommodate the builds. Each unit owner can have 2 pets per condo unit. The dogs run rampant, destroying streetscape and making walking on the sidewalk uninviting when feces are not picked up. There has been no accommodation in my area for all of the pets and where they can be walked. The school astroturf (North Toronto) is being devastated by the pets taken on the field even though there is a sign indicating no pets. I attend city meetings on the new high rises as they proudly announce an increase in the number of bicycle racks and reduction in parking spaces. This would be fine if there were bicycle lanes for people to safely traverse the streets. Instead, they bike on the sidewalk where people are walking with children, buggies and pets. The elderly are still in the neighbourhood and should not fear walking on sidewalks to be hit by an unsteady biker. Please take control of this situation and I support option 3
