>> Ctv news with reta ismail. >> Good evening, thank you for joining us. More housing units are coming to london's downtown, a vacant office tower is turning into an apartment complex. Ctv sean irvine reports. >> Standing on the northeast corner of richmond and dundas since the 1960's. The former cibc office tower and later rexall drugstore has been vacant for half a decade. But inside a now barren main-floor comes news. It won't be empty for long 3 floors of the building will be converted into 15 apartments. None of them will fit the criteria for affordable housing. 14 of those will be 2 bedroom apartments and one of them will be a single bedroom unit. The developer masked group is taking advantage of a city grant incentive program. It will provide nearly $500,000 towards the project mask. Group representatives were noticeably absent at the announcement, but the mayor confirms the project will be complete by the fall. He tells ctv news london. The first 2 floors will be home to an unnamed commercial tenant. Within months. The downtown is getting better. >> Things are improving. >> But can this redevelopment ignite the spark at what once was the prime corner in the heart of the city. That is the hope. You we have a lot of history here. We have a lot of great buildings here and it's just, you know, re converting them so we can actually bring people in again. And we bring that use back. >> Returning richmond and dundas to the level of attraction and held until the mid 1980's will be a feat, but not an impossible one in this is going to be contributing to creating our downtown community and as well supporting our our downtown businesses. >> In london, sean irvine, ctv news. >> Western university officials say they are calling in london police in an effort to end a pro-palestinian encampment on campus. The school claims safety concerns while demonstrators maintain they've been nothing but peaceful. Ctv's gerry dewan reports. >> The western university divestment coalition encampment is now into its 3rd week with dozens of tents covering a grassy area in front of the university community centre. They continue to call for the university to pull financing or involvement with businesses are agencies that support israel's military incursion into western officials issued a statement early wednesday evening stating they are increasingly concerned, citing what they say have been mounting incidents of unsafe and illegal behaviour, but didn't give specific examples. The statement says the university has engaged the london police liaison team to communicate with encampment organizers. We're out there as of yesterday and will be out there continuously wrote their guns today will be out there again tonight just to again mediate and discuss with both sides. The police liaison team was formed within the last year and has already been deployed a number of times 24 times already since january first. So we use them extensively and similar to our crisis negotiating team members that are hand selected these people or pets because, you know, they just have that genuine ability to build rapport with people's demonstrators at the encampment on thursday morning declined to be interviewed on camera, but insist their protest has been peaceful. We fully support people's lawful rates of protest and to assemble and to speak. We just want to make sure everything is done safely and again, that is lawful. Gerry dewan, ctv news. >> A lot of noise today around a recommendation to prohibit gas-powered lawn mowers after 6:00pm ctv's daryl newcombe brings us the latest on the citywide debate. >> Pulling this cord. Is leading to discord in london on wednesday. The civic works committee recommended holding a public meeting in july to consider reducing the hours when gas powered lawn equipment can be use. Currently, london sound by-law restricts the use of all motorized lawn equipment to between 7:00am and 10:00pm. The proposal would differentiate between power source is limiting gas-powered mowers, blowers and trimmers to between 8:00am and 6:00pm. The blow back online began almost immediately. According to councillor skylar franke. People the there really want to mow their lawn whenever they feel like or they're actually very supportive of this because they're annoyed with neighbours that used leaf blowers at 9:00pm when they're trying to go to bat. I think a lot more on a sunday afternoon as more noxious to one after separate on wednesday night, it could go to likes 7.30 of the ball. The nicer for the people that work, my my lawn, you know, close to 2. >> 8, 9 o'clock in the evening and I was super quiet. I don't think that the serbs, anybody, we've got bigger issues this deal with and the feedback that I've heard from a nurse very clearly is they have no interest in us getting involved and how they maintain their yard. I think it's an interesting position to take as

a leader because it's always good to have dialogue and we haven't even have the opportunity. Have a discussion about council. Frank adds, the long-term goal is to nudge people to start phasing out gas-powered motors when they reach end of life to reduce noise and greenhouse gas emissions. We've seen it with electric cars. There's more of those on the road and I think it makes a lot of sense to stick to running london as a city and not worrying about me cutting my lawn at 7 30 at night. >> Chris schouler uses gas power for now, but has had his eye on electorate. >> The weed eaters taking them with you. You don't need the gas and everything like that. And the me right now says its rocket sky-high on july 4th city council will decide if it will hold a public meeting in july about reducing the hours for using gas lawn equipment. >> Daryl newcombe, ctv news. >> A couple in windsor are taking up a by-law battle of their front lawn. They've been told their landscaping poses a safety risk. And as ctv's rich garton reports, they're now on the clock to get complaint. >> This house has been in beverly holmes family since 1952. I grew up in this house, their landscaping spanning from the curb, a few metres into their front lawn has been here for 35 years. And there has been no problem up till then on may 3rd, the homes got a visit from the city and a notice to remove this landscaping from the city's right of way or bring it into compliance before may 31st. It's a sight lines or something that somebody could hit or because of the injury as a result of those encroachments court. I don't think for impeding anything to anybody. >> I wish I wish that would just go away. I'm too old for this. According to mark winterton, the city's commissioner of infrastructure, the public right of way is about 20 metres wide and includes roadway and underground utilities for the public good. We're not driving up and down the streets looking for the 6. But if somebody complains and we're going to be forced to dip down >> The act on the meeting, the visit was prompted by a complaint. It's called a snitch law that's called yet doesn't make good neighbours. That obviously that's how the city operates. Apparently many people in the city of windsor a do not understand or know that the behind the curve, 2015 to 20 feet is actually owned by the city. The homes now have a few options. They can remove it entirely. They can leave a one foot strip of grass along the curb and limit the height of the bushes to 3 feet or they can apply for an encroachment permit for the cost of $899. And with that, we must supply a certificate of the in. >> Sure, it's or they can do nothing that. >> We will eventually be forced to remove it. But the cost of moving on the homes have a short window to act and are weighing their options, but want other residents to know all it takes is one complaint for us to change things here peas, whatever it is that somebody has in their bonnet. >> Doesn't make sense. And I don't think the city of windsor wants to be known as a as a city that is going support this kind of stuff. >> Rich garton ctv news. >> Health care advocates are threatening legal action in grey county over cuts to small-town hospitals. Ctv scott miller has more on their message to the provincial government. >> The municipality of west grey will take their fight to save the durham hospital from queen's park to a courtroom. It said that we've come to this, in a democracy, we can't have open and free speech and be able to puts things forward to resolve or issues for a community. But as I said, here we are. And this is the avenue we've got to take. I got to take council of west grey has to take to protect our community and our citizens at queen's park today, mayor eccles along with members of the ontario health coalition, a tear nurses' association and opseu called for a moratorium on local hospital cuts and closures as well as announcing pending legal action. >> To stop cuts to the durham hospital due to a lack of nurses. The south bruce grey health centre says they will move all 10 inpatient beds from the durham hospital. The hospitals they run in kincardine and walkerton starting on june, the 3rd earlier this year, durham's emergency room was indefinitely closed from 5 at night to 7 in the morning. Also due to a lack of nurses. >> As an er nurse, I can tell you that minutes save lives. The closures of local hospitals will result in community members having to travel farther to access care. >> West grey residents and officials fear that the erosion of the community's e r hours and movement of inpatient beds. We'll spell the end for the durham hospital, ultimately leading to its closure. >> It nears almost to the date what happened in mendon last year. This time where the community was blindsided.
