A letter of objection (dated February 4, 2019) in response to the recent minor variance submission for 9 Madison was posted to the
City's information portal. The objection, authored by Vaino Einola,
(see attached) makes multiple references to a memorandum from the
City's Manager for Development Engineering (Engineering and Construction Services), Avi Bachar. (see attached) Parking is again a major point of concern. The additional traffic which will populate Madison Ave during regular business operations (i.e. bank clients, school, scouts and guides, choir and dance practices, etc) as well as a regular flow of special event and conference attendees trying to find parking is not being addressed by the proposed application.
According to the City's own departmental conclusion: "It appears that zero parking space is proposed for the subject site and it does not comply with the by-law requirement. This is not acceptable."
EWR will post more information as it becomes available.

The self-appointed "expert" interviewed by Meiusi is actually named Williams -- not Matthews.
Meiusi selected him for an interview to advertise his own biases, while appearing to be a neutral reporter.
No one is fooled by such a thin charade.

https://youtu.be/7GjnuEN9POwWho do these people think they are?
They're assuming that Estonians are too stupid to act in their own interests.
Thanks, Meiusi and Williams, but we can get along just fine without your help.

Dear A&O,
I guess it has been a long time if ever that you visited NY EestiMaja for a function. Most families can't afford to live in NYC, maybe some of the boroughs. A large majority of those who use NYEM, live out of NY State and thus must either use commuter trains or drive and park.
If one lives in the city and has to be at a meeting for a given time, Toronto's traffic volume on the streets or underground MUST be taken into consideration and planned for. Many of us start out earlier as a result. The same holds true for those outside of "Metro".
