Sign battle brewing at Bayview-Broadway for Whole Foods

This is an undated concept drawing of 1860 Bayview

Neighbors in north Leaside and the adjoining bits of Sherwood Park across Bayview Ave are apparently organizing to object to signage planned for the Whole Foods development at 1860 Bayview. The notice of a variance to signage on the corner has gone out. According to neighbor Geeta Thomas the sign facing Bayview will be more than double the permitted size. Then there is the question of night-time lighting. The property is in Ward 25 (Jaye Robinson) but across the street to the east and a block south are the wards of Jon Burnside (Ward 26) and Josh Matlow (Ward 22). The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 25, 2015
