I’ve called this neighbourhood home for many years, and is now the home of my four children as well. We have always prided on how safe our neighbourhood felt, my kids and the neighbour kids are often seen playing outside. A lot of the safety we feel is due to our location: we are tucked away from the business of downtown and as a result we have not had the same concerns with crime, etc. I am extremely fearful of the impact this will have on the level of safety I feel for myself and my children living here. We have expressed many times that the only reason why we feel comfortable living here is how safe and quiet our neighbourhood is, please don’t take that from us.
kaytie supported: Halt the Proposed 36-Unit Development at 1115 10th St EFamilies are doing their best to keep up, but the rising costs are making it harder to stay rooted in the communities we love. A review of property tax rates is a fair and necessary step to help ensure Toronto remains livable for everyone.
Rohaan supported: Urge Toronto to Lower Property Tax RatesAs a resident of this neighborhood and a parent, I am strongly opposed to the city's plan to build a homeless shelter in our area. While we recognize the importance of supporting vulnerable populations, the track record of similar facilities in Toronto raises serious concerns. Many have unfortunately become hotspots for drug use and criminal activity, with little effective oversight or support for either the residents or surrounding community.
The city has a history of making rushed decisions without proper consultation or planning, often placing the burden on local families without providing meaningful solutions. We fear this shelter will bring safety risks, reduce the quality of life, and negatively impact property values—especially in an area where children live, go to school, and play.
We demand that the city suspend this project until a transparent, community-inclusive process is undertaken—one that includes real data, alternative options, and accountability for long-term safety and results.
Josue supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestWe chose this neighborhood for a fresh start. Without proper planning, this shelter risks destabilizing vulnerable immigrant families like ours.
Robert supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestBy approving a shelter without any greenspace nearby, the Cityis setting both the residents and the neighborhood up for failure. Dignified care includes access to the outdoors.
Kyle supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestMy wife and I bought a home in Eglinton West to start a new life in a growing neighborhood. Just a week ago, I was shocked to learn about a proposed homeless shelter one block from our house — not through consultation, but from a zoning notice near my favorite restaurant, Babos. Residents deserve transparency and a say in shaping our community.
Eric supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestWe endured the dust and delays of LRT construction because we believed better days were coming. We need developments that align with that promise, not institutional setbacks.
Matthew supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestAs a senior living near the proposed shelter site, I worry for my safety. We need real support, not added stress and fear in our final years.
James supported: Relocate the Proposed Supportive Housing Shelter from 2204–2212 Eglinton Avenue WestEveryone needs fresh air and safe public space. Without a nearby park or greenspace, where will 80 vulnerable individuals be able to decompress and feel safe?
