Origin
(December 18, 2007) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District
Summary
On September 13, 2006, Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC) requested the City Planning Division to report on the next steps involved in moving the “Mimico by the Lake Project 20/20: A Perfect Vision for our Community” document forward. The Mimico 20/20 document is an initiative originating from Councillor Mark Grimes.
Staff reported on February 13, 2007 and Community Council directed that a wider initial public consultation process based on the Mimico 20/20 document be undertaken. This report presents the results of a community consultation workshop held on June 16, 2007, and outlines the next steps in proceeding with an implementation strategy for the Mimico-By-The-Lake Community revitalization initiative.
The workshop identified several key areas of future study which can be categorized as follows: Land Use Considerations; Parks and Recreation (Waterfront Renewal); Housing; Economic Development; Transportation; Infrastructure; and Social Services.
The findings contained in facilitation consultant Sue Cumming’s report entitled “MIMICO 20/20 Workshop Report and Recommendations For Next Steps” (Attachment 1) clearly indicate a desire for a continued process that includes public participation to advance this initiative to the implementation stages. Staff intend to host a public meeting in the first quarter of 2008 to discuss a Planning Framework Terms of Reference prior to initiating work.
