Summary

The purpose of this report is to provide Scarborough Community Council with a status update on the Golden Mile Secondary Plan (GMSP) Study and to table the "Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study: Background Report" which provides a summary of "Phase One" of the three-phased Study.  This phase focused on obtaining an understanding of the Golden Mile area and yielded a number of key findings on the historic and emerging context of the area.  The Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study area is indicated on the map in the Summary section of the report.

 

The Golden Mile Secondary Plan (GMSP) Study is being undertaken by City Planning (Scarborough District) staff with the assistance of a team of land use, transportation, urban design, and service consultants led by SvN Architects + Planners Inc.  The Study is intended to develop a vision and planning framework for the Golden Mile area in advance of the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) in 2021.  The development of a planning framework will include Official Plan policies, guidelines and strategies that will support continued employment investment and promote residential and mixed use intensification within the Golden Mile.
