City councillors shaved down a proposed six-storey building in Westboro Tuesday, worried the building would cast too much of a shadow over its neighbours. Domicile Developments wanted to build a six-storey building on Roosevelt Avenue, but councillors at the city's planning committee voted to restrict the building to four storeys. "It would look great on Richmond Road, but it is being put well down a residential street," he said. "It's fundamentally unfair to the residents who live there to say your residential street is now going to get traditional main street development." He said in addition to being near Richmond Road, the development would be just a few hundred metres from the Dominion Transitway station.
