As you all know I (2714 and 2712 Gottingen st) have opposed this for years
now. It has cost me financially. During the construction, the jackhamering
was beside my house for one month.
Ending my buisness right before covid struck.
It's been hard for everyone.
The fence that was installed in the backyard was insufficient. I had to pay
to fix it.
The landscaping is causing water seepage into my basement.
You can see from their windows right into my house taking my privacy and
light away. I suggested to them to put up mac tac or drapes. They told me
that I, their neighbor should loose my view of my own backyard and put it
up on my windows if i had a problem. I don't belive it is fair that a
public place can have a full view into the neighbours kitchen and bathroom.
The stone wall out front was being used as a drug drop for a couple of
years before the police put an end to it. As their immeddiate neighbor I
can hear in my house with the windows shut when people are talking and
sitting on the wall, as well as hearing people stomp up the front steps.
Yes I get to hear them coming and going. As Myles says you can't please
them all. Definately not pleasing anyone who has mobility issues. I have
tried to talk to Myles, Tyson, Shane and Jillian. I have sent over a
mediator. Honestly it won't matter what I say, they do whatever they want
to

Hey Pete,
We wanted to provide a long overdue update for The Narrows Pub at 2720
Gottingen Street. If you could share the below message to residents, that
would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi Bloomfield Residents,
We wanted to provide the community with a long overdue update on The
Narrows Public House at 2720 Gottingen.
We were hoping to provide a progress report earlier than this but as you
can imagine, Covid and the related economic restrictions, in particular in
the hospitality industry, really hampered an already challenging project.
Nonetheless, we are forging on and have tried to find any silver linings
we can. After being forced out of work due to restrictions, we took over
all general contracting duties for the project and have been onsite working
everyday to try and keep the project viable and progressing, however
slowly.
That said, we have gained some traction as of late and are preparing to
accelerate the construction schedule over the next 4-6 months in an effort
to finally open our doors to the community for good. As work ramps up,
there will be more activity happening at the property, including the
installation of a new steel staircase on the back of the house as required
by fire code, mechanical ventilation work, electrical upgrades,
landscaping, and the like.
As always, we wanted to let our immediate neighbours and the rest of the
community know of this upcoming work and welcome any questions or comments
as we move towards completion of the construction. With the exception of
the staircase and some ventilation/electrical, the majority of the work
will still be contained within the house. That said, if there are any
concerns now or throughout the construction, don't hesitate to send us an
email or stop by the house, as we're here everyday and happy to chat.
Thanks as always to the community members who have supported us over the
years and continue to do so. Your continued encouragement certainly helps
keep us looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel. We can't wait
to have you all in the house, sharing in food, drink and great
conversation. In a time of heightened restrictions, it is important to have
spaces close to home where people of all ages and backgrounds can still
feel comfortable coming together and maintaining a sense of community and
connectedness. We look forward to providing such a space.
We will keep you up to date on our timelines as construction continues to
progress.
Kind Regards,
Myles & Tyson
