Let your fingers do the talking – Toronto Foreshore survey deadline Sunday August 11th

Survey closes on Sunday 11th August.

Council has now invited feedback from the community on design principles and ideas for

improvements to Toronto’s foreshore as part of its master planning process.

You can provide feedback by

• visiting the ‘Creating a Place for People in Toronto’ website (https://shape.lakemac.com.au/future-toronto) and completing the online survey by August 11th,
• registering to attend the community workshops August  10th or
• dropping by one of the pop-ups near the rotunda on the foreshore Aug 10th – 1–3 pm; 4-6 pm. Six consultants have been engaged.

However, Council still refuses to include the Bath Street site at the northern end of the foreshore in its master planning process for the Toronto foreshore park.

This is disappointing and perplexing, especially in the face of immense community opposition, including a 5200-signature petition, to its plans for a 6 storey commercial building on this site.

By segregating the Bath Street site from the Toronto Foreshore Masterplan, Council is insisting that high-rise will be the core of any foreshore improvement.

Everyone is encouraged to provide comment on the design principles and ideas.

Although there is no provision to comment on the Bath Street site high-rise per se (only on the ‘interface’), please take the opportunity to let Council know what you think of its proposal and how you think this site could be better used as part of your feedback and other communications.

It is very important that Council continues to hear concerns from residents. 

Hear from the Foreshore Consultants

TASNG meeting Wednesday 14 August 5 pm at the HUB, 97 The Boulevarde

John O’Callaghan from JOC Consulting, one of the six consultants employed by Council on the Toronto Foreshore Masterplan and the Bath Street site projects, will be attending the TASNG meeting to further update on developments and listen to community feedback/concerns. 

This will be just after Council’s community engagement period closes. John and other consultants are aware of the immense community opposition to Council’s Bath Street site high-rise proposal. This session will run from 5 - 6 pm. All welcome to attend. 

Is the Bath Street site to be rezoned?

Listed on Council’s Application tracking website is a Rezoning Proposal.

4 Bath Street TORONTO : LEP Amendment - Bath Street Toronto

Applicant: LAKE MACQUARIE CITY COUNCIL

Status: Phase 1 Assessment

In seeking details from Council the CPPA was advised there is a folder created, with no information in it and no Council Officer responsible. Further enquires from TFPG at Council's  pop-up stall and to Integrated Planning staff, have revealed that there are early plans being formulated to amend the LEP to permit greater height limits for 4 Bath Street and the surrounding area.
