If you live in #Willowdale two journalists are starting a new initiative to bring a new news outlett to the neighborhood.
They want to hear from the community, fill out this Google survey

Introducing The Willowdale Wire
Hello! We are two journalists living in the neighbourhood. Everyday, walking around Willowdale, we keep coming across stories we think are worth telling. And so, we decided to start a publication to see if we can fill a gap in local coverage. We're keen to understand the issues that most animate this community, to help broaden our reporting ideas. To get started, we came up with this quick poll. Look out for more updates coming soon. - Aparita + Rachel

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here might have some insight into a zoning question that's come up in Willowdale.

From what | can tell, nothing was posted, no letters were sent out, and there wasn't any opportunity for residents to ask questions or give feedback. The permits weren't even p…

Lily Cheng in #Willowdale is again advocating against new housing next to a subway station
According to her, adding 2000 new residents to the neighborhood would be a risk to lose the Costco (???). As if adding new people to the neighborhood would make Costco leave.
Yes some "essential local retail shops" (aka Starbucks) would leave... But there's no shortage i…

Protecting Neighbourhood Retail: Save Our Shops Councillor James Pasternak from the neighbourhood to our west has launched a campaign that may be of interest to residents in our community who rely on nearby retail services. The proposal for 75 Billy Bishop Way would replace essential neighbourhood retail with five towers reaching up to 49 storeys. Beyond the immediate impact on the Wilson community, there are broader concerns about the precedent rezoning could create. When land is rezoned, i…

Construction of Steeles Station requires excavation of a large underground station box underneath Yonge Street.
To maintain north-south connectivity, Yonge Street will be temporarily realigned onto a newly constructed diversion road west of its existing alignment.
