  • The transportation network including pedestrian and bicycle routes and connections to the West Toronto Rail Path.
  • An inventory of existing parks and open spaces, those needing upgrading and possible locations for new parks.
  • The existing and needed community facilities.
  • The identification of important heritage buildings
  • Identifying incentives to encourage employment uses.
  • A review of the school sites.

Public Meetings and Community Walks
Two community walks will be held in July. The first (July 18) will focus on the north end of the study area, from Bloor Street to Dupont Avenue. The second (July 19) will focus on the south end of the study area, from Queen Street to Bloor Street. You are welcome to attend either or both walks. The purpose of the walks is to identify key opportunities and challenges relevant to the study as discussed at the public meetings.
