I posted the following image to Twitter this morning:
It’s a map of some of the people who support my proposed laneway house (in midtown Toronto) and have signed their name at lanewaylove.com .
To me, this is an incredible demonstration of the kind of broad-based support that exists in this city today for laneway housing/suites.
I met with some of my neighbors last week to discuss the proposal and one of them said to me: “I can tell that you’re genuinely passionate about this idea.”
My response: “You’re absolutely right. I am. This is not just about my singular project or the money. This is about something much bigger for the city.”
Clearly, many others see that as well.
I know that there’s been a lot of laneway talk on the blog over the past few weeks and months. It’s been on my mind as I prepare for my project’s hearing next month.
For those of you who have no interest in laneway housing/accessory dwelling units, rest assured that the laneway content should subside (a little) after the summer.
