1631 Queen - keep it ALL affordable and 6-stories
Councillor Bradford is promoting a new 18-storey skyscraper (20 stories including mechanical penthouse) – 3 TIMES the allowable height on Queen Street!
The SIZE of 1631 Queen is being used to justify 18-stories because this property is “unique”… we are going to remind Councillor Bradford that the only thing unique is the character of the Beach!
Our petition calls for;
1. 1631 Queen is public property; this development should be 100% affordable and not put through a “market offering process.”
2. Make it 6-stories to adhere to the Urban Design Guidelines and respect the years of community input it took to create them.
The money raised is being used to promote this campaign leading up to the vote in City Council. These funds will be used for door-to-door flyers, Facebook ads, and promotion of our petition. Our petition is well on its way to reaching 1,000 signatures with these funds.
