Protecting the Character of Queen West

Councillors Perks, Layton and Bailão have initiated a Planning Study along Queen Street West from Bathurst Street to Roncesvalles Avenue.

The Study is being instigated to address community concerns regarding the loss of buildings with heritage attributes, transit capacity, insufficient parking, and protecting the character of the street.
