I like the way this is going. But it would be a sad tragedy if they cheapen out when all is being built here.

Commentary from Councillor Mike Layton and a local area rep on the public space element:

A new public square is coming to Yorkville at 33 Avenue Road

It could be a new west-end gateway to Yorkville

First Capital owned an adjacent property to the original site and included it in its plans for 33 Avenue Rd. to create a public realm up to 40 per cent bigger and with a 5.5-metre setback from the street.

“[First Capital] is taking what was a bad situation and made it modestly better,” local councillor Mike Layton said, referring to the increase in public space. “It’s a much more usable and functional community space.”

Layton owes this change largely to the efforts of the community, which banded together and created a public trust for the square to ensure it would meet their needs. Members of the retained Annex Bay Cottingham Residents Association (ABCRA) also retained the guidance of experts such as urban designer Ken Greenberg, who previously worked on the city’s Bentway project under the Gardiner Expressway and Grange Park near the Art Gallery of Ontario.

“The community was in the driver’s seat for [creating a usable square],” Layton said. “They’re happy with the outcome.”

Local resident and ABCRA co-president John Caliendo said that it has been at least a five-year process of working with the developer to achieve the results being proposed.

“That corner of Yorkville has become a bit desolate,” he said. “This [proposal] is going to open it up, make it more welcoming. It’s a great design.”

Caliendo said the public trust created has secured 20 years of funding to “animate” the square with activity such as a Thursday afternoon jazz trio or Friday evening TIFF screenings on one of the walls.

“The square will have a real presence to the street,” he said.

The proposal is now awaiting a city staff report in the next month and then will likely head to council in June.
