The Durand neighborhood will never be the same again. We have very little parking as it is. The Charlton Ave and Bay st section surrounding this building are already busy as all get out during rush hour. This influx of new residents is only going to compound the existing problems of high traffic, one way streets, lack of parking, noise pollution and more fumes. Yes the condo will have in-house parking, but there are always extra vehicles from people visiting, etc... As for traffic, most of these new residents will be adding cars to the already glutted streets during rush hour.

The company putting up this building is using the proximity to downtown and the Go station as a plus for prospective buyers. Having lived in this neighborhood for almost 8 years now, I see very few people actually walking downtown or to the Go station, but many riding their car. Will this bring an hsr route change or addition? Bay street south could use a bus running down its' length to the downtown core. And since these buildings are being promoted as a great family environment, again, can the local school handle the influx of students?

The only good thing I can see is that our park will finally be used to its' full capacity.
