The City is initiating a study of the Liberty Village Public Realm as well as Community Services and Facilities.
The study will inform future investments in parkland, recreation centres, childcare etc.
Report here: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-167845.pdf
Of note from the report.
1) I'm not sure I've seen the City combine public realm and CS & F studies before. (speculation on my part that this means at least one street/sidewalk as park plan is being discussed)
2) The list of City agencies with their finger in this pie also suggests interesting things............of note CreateTO is in on this.
Full list of agencies/departments in on the consult, here:
3) A list of City properties within the area being examined.
Traffic Services being in play explains the Police involvement.
I would be both surprised and disappointed if the Green P lot survived this. Though you can be sure they will want a new underground garage nearby.
I can see why CreateTO is on the team, there are multiple sites that could support redevelopment, and I can see the City leveraging that to pay for improvements to the remaining sites as well as cover
at least a portion of the cost of relocating certain functions.
Report due in Q3 2022.
