Heritage Preservation Services Study of 79 and 81 Granby Street - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Shelley Carroll

As such, local residents have a priority interest in protecting their neighbourhood character and preserving heritage homes. In November, 2017, the McGill-Granby Resident's Association made a formal submission to Heritage Preservation Services, requesting study and designation of McGill, Granby, and Mutual Streets under a comprehensive Heritage Conservation District. The study has not yet been initiated, as City staff have a backlog of Heritage Conservation District studies to complete. While awaiting the Heritage Conservation District study, local residents have taken further action to submit a request for the study of two specific properties, at 79 and 81 Granby Street. These heritage-value, residential homes have recently been consolidated into a proposed development site. As such, the community fears that the two homes will be demolished, prior to the commencement of the Heritage Conservation District study. To ensure that the low-rise residential homes are protected, the McGill-Granby Residents Association have made a formal submission to Heritage Preservation Services nominating 79 and 81 Granby Street for heritage designation. The residents have asked that I assist them in ensuring that this matter is expedited, with all due haste.
