DON'T LET THE DEVELOPER OVERTURN COUNCIL'S DECISION!

​​

We need safe, accessible, community-focused development! 

  

 HELP US RAISE FUNDS TO DEFEND A

CITY-OWNED ROAD AT RICHVIEW PLAZA

​

 

The City has approved three buildings of 14, 24 and 29 storeys BUT DID NOT APPROVE the developer's proposal for a private roadway to service this large and complex site.

 

The two tall buildings are only approved ON CONDITION that the road running between Eglinton Avenue and the Wincott Drive/Waterford Drive intersection, where there will also be new traffic lights, must be owned and managed by the City.  

 

The developer has appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and is seeking approval for a private roadway.

 

The City and RGRRA lawyers are preparing to defend the Public Road. The Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) granted the RGRRA provisional Party Status.

We are now officially engaged in the proceedings and need to fund our defense!

 

With a strong and unanimous mandate from the community at our Annual General Meeting on May 12, 2026, the RGRRA has retained a highly experienced municipal land-use lawyer who will provide services PRO BONO!

 

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY IS FIGHTING FOR

The RGRRA was established to advocate for responsible development, protect neighbourhood interests, and promote the long-term wellbeing of our community.

 

We support the redevelopment of Richview Plaza that prioritizes:
✅ Safe and reliable access and walkability for seniors, children, cyclists, and families
✅ Reliable traffic circulation and connectivity to existing road network, given +3000 expected cars per day and the new traffic lights at Waterford Drive and Wincott Drive
✅ Thriving local businesses
✅ Long-term public accountability and maintenance
✅ Safe emergency vehicle access throughout the site

 

A City-owned public road is essential to achieving these goals.

​

WHAT’S AT RISK

If the Developer’s appeal succeeds, our Community could face:
