I'm curious about what changes are being made on Ontario. There is certainly no room for 2 way traffic, on street parking, and bicycle lanes, yet it sounded like the Legacy Greens owner was happy about the compromise on those... As it is now, there isn't really even room for 2 way traffic with the on street parking.
The Ontario "compromise" was cancelling Ontario St. North/East of King.
Hardly a compromise, as usual killing cycling infra to make exclusive space for cars.
I was extremely disappointed, frankly, hurt by Jordan (Legacy Green's owner) opposition to the project, she was not in favour of any of it, but wanted to know how to kill Ontario St...which she succeeded in.
I won't be shopping anywhere where the owner explicitly opposed my safety in the city.
I see the summary of changes now on Engage. Quite disappointing indeed, but if I had to sacrifice any single block of the project to make the rest of it go ahead, it would probably be that block on Ontario. I would be optimistic that they used "deferred" as their choice of language, but I've long given up on trusting anything other than actions.
I quite infrequently shopped at Legacy Greens, but this will certainly be a consideration in visiting in the future.
