Residents of Toronto neighbourhood represented by NDP Poverty & Homelessness Critic upset about plans to turn parking lot into housing for homeless

Community members of an East York neighbourhood are up in arms about the City of Toronto‘s plans to replace a parking lot with 64 units of affordable housing for the region’s homeless population.

“This area is the children’s recreational hub for the whole of East York and there’s a lot of safety issues and concerns that we have,” said community member Mark Battenberg.

The parking lot is located on Cedarvale Avenue near Woodbine Avenue and O’Connor Drive.


Beaches East York’ NDP MP is Rima Berns-McGown the party’s critic for Poverty & Homelessness. Federally they voted Liberal, of course.
