The plans for 90 Harbour Street, in Downtown Toronto

The plans for 90 Harbour Street, in Downtown Toronto will be released this month by Menkes Developments.

Menkes is proposing a 31-storey office tower building and also two 70-storey residential condominium towers. This proposal is raising concerns for area residents, who think that this community is already at capacity.

Members of the York Quay Neighbourhood Association (YQNA) fear breakdowns in traffic, transit and pedestrian flow, as this area includes:

1. The Harbourfront Centre

2. Rogers Centre

3. Air Canada Centre and

4. The ferry terminal to the Toronto Islands.

It appears that the City Planning and Zoning Bylaws and Regulations Departments need updating to keep up with the building boom.
