Engaging Toronto Planning Review Panel on Parks and Land Use Above the Rail Corridor

The CityPlace Residents Association was invited to attend the Toronto Planning Review Panel meeting on Saturday, September 16, 2017 to provide some perspectives on Parks and Land Use Above the Rail Corridor

Here are the three main points we framed our perspectives around:

• The need for parkland near CityPlace and around the Rail Corridor in general
• How a park could be used to connect different neighbourhoods, as well as serve people in nearby offices, etc.
• How the site can serve all Torontonians, not just those in neighbouring areas

Ceremonial Ground Breaking – Block 31

On Wednesday, September 13th, 2017, there was the ceremonial ground breaking ceremony in CityPlace Canoe Landing Park for the Bishop Macdonell Catholic School and Jean Lumb Public School, Daycare Space, and the Canoe Landing Community Centre! We were made to understand that Fall 2019 is the expected completion date.

Textile Diversion in CityPlace

The following buildings in CityPlace currently have a Diabetes Canada Textile Diversion Bin available for textile diversion:

10 Navy Wharf Court

25 Capreol Court

35 Mariner Terrace

5 Mariner Terrace

3 Navy Wharf Court

75 Queens Wharf Road

170 Fort York Blvd

The goal is to have a full textile diversion program in our vertical neighbourhood, with all new and existing towers in CityPlace participating, which will further the goal toward each building supporting textile diversion, environmental sustainability and zero waste initiatives.

The attached information including fact sheets and letter to condominium corporations are part of our efforts to move this initiative forward.

Metrolinx: Construction Activity Update: Signal Modernization Work Between Simcoe Street and Jarvis Street

“Work will continue between Simcoe Street to Jarvis Street from Monday September 4 to Monday September 11 from 8 pm to 6 am

I’ll keep you all posted on any new developments and, as always, if you have any questions please let me know.

As well, to give you all a better look at the work going into completing our signal modernization project, I wanted to share with you some pictures that we recently had taken around Scott Street. These photos show workers preparing and using a vacuum truck to excavate and install conduit around the Scott Street Power Distribution Module.
