This Is What Took 6 Years And $6M to acheive...

 

...and the cost was probably much more when we add the time spent by city employees and the lefties on council and the mayor's race criticize Ford for worrying about the nickels &dimes.

The new bylaw will be searchable using an interactive program over the internet.

It took six years to refine it and roughly six million dollars to pay staff and consultants in order to get the details of everything perfect.

Listen to a report by NewsTalk 1010's Amber Gero.
Among some of the changes; Homes must be 250 metres apart when built.

There are some new parking standards for the city as well.
Any new buildings near subways or streetcars, now require fewer parking spaces than those that are further away from transit.

Another amendment is no propane storage facilities within 500 metres of a residential area, also new car lots are forbidden from opening in industrial areas.

One hit to the service industry, restaurants located below Bloor Street are not allowed to open rear patios.

For those living in residential and residential apartment zones, council also prohibited charging for visitor parking.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
