The first of what are certain to be many public consultations on the landmark Mirvish+Gehry proposal took place at Metro Hall on the evening of December 11th. The meeting was chaired by City Councillor, Adam Vaughan, in whose ward the proposal is sited. The approximately 100 people who were in attendance heard from City staff about the issues that the proposal raises and about the complicated process through which the proposal will be vetted as it seeks approval. Speakers included Phil Carvalino, the City Planner assigned to the file, James Parahk, Senior Urban Designer at the City, and Mary Macdonald, Acting Manager of Heritage Preservation Services at the City. Many other planning staff members were at the meeting, volunteering their time to assist to answer questions about the proposal and its ramifications.
