Fight the Height
Please donate to the Long Branch Defence Fund.
The OLT hearing starts September 9th. We need your support.
Your donation will pay for the Legal and Planning Representation for the Neighbourhood at the OLT Appeal for 220, 230, 240 Lake Promenade and 21, 31 Park
In order build a condo complex the size of a small town, this developer proposes to:
- All traffic into the neighbourhood and changing the use of the Great Trail.
- New plans, recently submitted, leave us unconvinced many trees will survive.
- Ignore the impact on the precious shoreline natural environment and parks.
- Create a construction nightmare for neighbours that could last over 15 years.
- ‘Renovict’ 548 of the current residents from their homes – 1,200 to 1,500 people with no choice.
- Create a mass of 7 towers that crowd the streetscape and shade neighboring properties.
- Create unsafe conditions on our streets and the Waterfront Trail path by increasing traffic.
- Exacerbate street parking issues as the majority of units will have no parking onsite.
The developer has escalated this application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), ignoring requests from the community to reduce height and protect more greenspace. This leads us to a complex 4 week court trial with costs for the opposing Parties including the LBNA. We will hire a lawyer and seek expert witness to represent your interests. But we need to see your support to signal our intention to fight this. Act now to enable us to carry on this work. Fight the Height! Protect our shoreline.
- Donate on this page to contribute to the Legal Fund.
- Support fundraising activities. Learn about others living in Long Branch. Meet new people.
If you think you can let this one go, and get involved another day, think again. Other developers are watching to see what resistance there will be to towers.
Help us to demonstrate that Long Branch refuses to accept destruction of our shoreline and the character of a residential neighourhood. Protect the things that you enjoy about living here, for yourself and future generations.
Thank you for your support!
