OMB Pre-hearing August 30, 10:30 am, Markham Council Chamber.

German Mills, we need as many people as possible to attend this pre-hearing
and to register as participants. If you will be unable to attend on this particular
date due to vacation, medical or other serious reason, but you still wish to be
a participant, please write your name in the space provided below and it will
be included on a list of participants which will be handed to the adjudicator
at the pre-hearing on the 30th by GMRA. 

The most significant issue facing the community is the proposed redevelopment of the mall at the north –east corner of Don Mills and Steeles. The original proposal involved the replacement of the existing mall with a mixed-use residential/commercial “lifestyle” outdoor plaza. The primary feature of the proposal was 9 high-rise residential towers ranging from 8 to 36 stories with retail shopping below. It also involved a parking garage where the mall currently stands.

In response to the proposal, a working group (the MSWG) was formed under the chairmanship of councillor Erin Shapero. It includes the developer’s representatives, members of Markham Council (Erin Shapero, Valerie Burke & Jim Jones), North York councillor David Shiner and community representatives from Markham and North York.
