Summary
This report provides a status update on the Visioning Study for the Jane and Wilson Area to develop a vision, goals, and principles to guide future growth and development in the area.
The study area is located entirely within a floodplain. As a result, development in this area is heavily regulated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the City to minimize flood risks and protect public safety and property.
The study will examine low-impact types of development that are currently permissible within the floodplain (i.e., improving existing parks, open space, streetscape and public realm, and creating safer pedestrian connections) and explore opportunities to better support existing commercial uses and employment areas. Additionally, the study will outline the process required for potentially unlocking future development in the area through flood remediation work.
Staff will continue to engage with the local community, local Ward Councillor, various City divisions and the TRCA. A Final Report is targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
