Port Lands Flood Protection unlocks an opportunity to build more housing, including affordable housing on what is currently called ‘Villiers Island’. The City of Toronto, CreateTO and Waterfront Toronto were tasked with finding ways to increase density planned for this island that don’t compromise the vision set by the Villiers Island Precinct Plan and Port Lands Planning Framework for a sustainable, complete community.
At a public meeting in June 2023, we shared how the planning context for the waterfront has changed since the precinct plan was approved in 2017 and some different approaches to increasing density on ‘Villiers Island’. In that meeting and follow-up survey, we took your questions and feedback about how best to incorporate more homes in this new neighbourhood. On March 26, we will present an update on the work we are doing to update the precinct plan and the recommended approach that resulted from the Density Study, including public feedback.
We are also planning to present the same material in person on May 2, 2024. More information on that meeting location and time will be shared once available.
This meeting will take place online using Microsoft Teams. Those unable to join online will have the option of calling into the meeting, and a recording of the meeting will be posted online following the live event. If you can’t join this meeting, we will share the same materials at an in-person meeting on May 2, 2024. Details to come on time and location.
