Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council endorse the Lower Yonge Public Realm Concept Plan which establishes a public realm framework and set of principles, strategies and standards to ensure a high quality Lower Yonge streetscape design that enhances walkability, accessibility, safety, connectivity and character within the Precinct, as well as public realm direction for parks, plazas and other public spaces. The Public Realm Concept Plan is one of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) outcomes that will be used to guide future development.
The 9 hectare Lower Yonge Precinct is anticipated to grow up to 28,000 workers and residents. This Concept Plan will support the daily activities of residents and workers in a pedestrian and cycling friendly, transit-oriented environment.
The purpose of the Concept Plan is to communicate a consistent approach for the design of the public realm in support of the Lower Yonge Precinct Plan, Lower Yonge Official Plan Modification (OPM) and Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The Concept Plan represents a design framework for Lower Yonge public spaces including a hierarchy of streets, priority public realm improvements, and strategic direction regarding palette, furnishings, and materials. In this way, the Lower Yonge Public Realm Concept Plan clarifies important requirements for public spaces and streetscape design. The Concept Plan will be considered when reviewing Site Plan Control applications within the Lower Yonge Precinct.
The City is continuing to work with Waterfront Toronto on a Central Waterfront-wide public realm standard, including the selection of a Waterfront Standard Concrete Paver. The Concept Plan will be updated in the future to include a Waterfront Standard Concrete Paver.
