The pavement is coming

Many residents in front of Dragon Alley were feeling sick to their stomach this evening when they came home from work/school to find a bunch of paving equipment parked inside the vacant lot.

Gwyn Thomas, president of the Toronto Parking Authority, had assured us by telephone that NO PAVEMENT would be laid until:

1. We consult the community

2. The spring comes

Interesting that Adam Giambrone has not yet even scheduled a location for our meeting on Tuesday. Residents aren't sure what to do... it is clear that the steps are being taken to pave the lot TOMORROW!!

One resident plans to set up a tent and camp out. Others are calling Adam and visiting his office. Still, others are making direct calls to Gwyn Thomas to stop the madness. We don't want anything else to happen before our meeting on the 16th.

Also interesting... we tried to copy the site plans for the parking lot, but were denied. "We don't own them," said the staffer at Giambrone's office.

Please call to help us stop the pavement... once that goes in it seems there will be no turning back.
