Summary

Dear Chair and Members of Toronto and East York Community Council,

 

A few weeks ago residents in Leslieville brought an issue to my attention regarding an unsafe condition of the sidewalk in front of the above address which is a recently built condo on Queen East where the building was erected higher than the existing sidewalk.

 

Since that time, City staff and the developer have been working to find a way to modify the design to make it as safe as possible.

 

As well, some residents of The George have informed me that they have received tickets as it seems that the pre-construction parking regulations have not yet been reinstated
