When so-called San Francisco by the Bay in Pickering by Chestnuthill Homes is completed, traffic conditions will only deteriorate.
LISTEN UP ALL GO TRAIN COMMUTERS! PAY ATTENTION ALL THOSE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ALONG BAYLY NEAR LIVERPOOL ROAD...EITHER SLOGGING IT OUT GOING TO OR FROM WORK!
A 25-STOREY HIGHRISE IS LIKELY TO BE BUILT AT THE VERY CORNER OF THE ALREADY-CLOGGED BAYLY AND LIVERPOOL INTERSECTION. THAT IS IN ADDITION TO AN 18-STOREY HIGHRISE AND A 16-STOREY HIGHRISE, PLUS WHO KNOWS HOW MANY TOWNHOUSES...ALL ON THE SAME DENSE SITE.
THE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING:
Townhouses - 120 Units
16 Storey Tower - 235 Units
18 Storey Tower - 142 Units
Previous Total - 497 Units
New 25 Storey Tower - 237 Units
New Total - 734 Units
IT WILL ADD NEW PEDESTRIAN AND CAR TRAFFIC IN THE THOUSANDS TO THIS CRUCIAL CORNER.
ALSO...THIS CORNER IS THE ONLY WAY OUT FOR THE WHOLE OF THE THOUSANDS IN THE EAST SHORE COMMUNITY IN THE EVENT OF A NUCLEAR CALAMITY.
AND THIS CORNER IS THE 8TH MOST DANGEROUS INTERSECTION IN PICKERING...THAT'S WITHOUT ADDING ANY NEW TRAFFIC.
AND THERE WAS A RECENT MAJOR TRAIN WRECK THAT MISSED BEING A TOXIC EMERGENCY BY A HAIR...IT HAPPENED NEAR THIS INTERSECTION.
THE 25 STOREYS ARE LIKELY GOING TO HAPPEN WITHOUT WIDESPREAD PRIOR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE OR INPUT....UNLESS YOU READ THIS LETTER!
