A Toronto strip plaza that has existed for less than a decade is already on the chopping block to support urgently-needed housing, but the city councillor representing the area is crying foul and trying to drum up local rage in an attempt to save the businesses from redevelopment.Ward 6 York Centre councillor James Pasternak is appealing to area residents to resist a planned development at 75 Billy Bishop Way that would see the current 2017-opened strip plaza razed to make way for five residential towers.Proposed in April 2025, the plan is now entering the public consultation stage, typically the point in the City's planning and approvals process when things can get a bit turbulent.Pasternak took to social media with a rallying cry to "save our shops," inviting locals to an information session about the proposed development, calling the existing businesses "vital" to the community.    View this post on Instagram     &...
