Starting on April 4, the authors of a city-sponsored report on the future of Toronto the Vertical will present their findings to the public in search of comment.
The meetings are taking place in the three wards --- 20, 27 and 28 -- covered by the report.
"There will be information up on boards," says the city's Tall Buildings project manager Helen Bulat, that will give people the opportunity to look at what's being proposed, and speak to the representatives of the architecture firm of
Hariri Pontarini and
Urban Strategies, Inc., "then there will be a Power Point presentation that highlights what the report is about.
"The point," she says, "is to get feedback � on what is it we have to do with these tall buildings to make them more palatable, in terms of their relationship with one another and their relationship to the street and surrounding parks and so on and so forth their impact on views, their impact on historical buildings and existing development "
The first meeting will be held in the parish hall of St. Basil's church at 50 St Joseph Street on the St. Michael's College campus, the second at Palmerston Library on April 7, and the third at the St. Lawrence Community and Recreation Centre's gym at 230 The Esplanade on April 11.
Anyone who wants to have their say but can't make it to any of the meetings can write in to
