Pickering meeting
hears concerns
about impact of

PICKERING — The Bay Ridges
community isn’t giving up its
neighbourhood plaza without a
fight.
Close to 200 residents came to
a statutory public meeting June
1 at the Pickering Civic Com-
plex that dealt with the rezoning
application for the Bay Ridges
Plaza, located on Bayly Street at
Liverpool Road.
Carmen Montgomery was one
of 20 residents who spoke at the
meeting. She discussed the im-
portant role the local pharmacy
plays in her life. She has rheuma-
toid arthritis and said the phar-
macy works with her doctor to
make sure the medication she
needs is there on time.
“A bsolutely nothing has been
said about what is going to hap-
pen to the businesses that are
there,” she said.
“You can’t tell me they’re not
a viable business. The pharmacy
has been there for more than 20
years.”
Ms. Montgomery said it is not
just herself that will be affected,
but also the many seniors who
live in the Bayshore Towers be-
hind the plaza and also at the
nearby St. Martin’s seniors resi-
dence.
“I want your assurance that
my health care is not going to be
compromised by your develop-
ment,” she said.
The application by SR and R
Bay Ridges Ltd. includes a mix of
housing types, as well as retail,
