Origin
Summary
The Humber Bay Shores area, including its Parks (East and West) can be found west of the Humber River, east of Mimico and south of Lake Shore Boulevard West and is about 25 years old. In that time, the population of the area has gone from 5,000 to 15,000 residents and set to significantly increase in the next 5 years. The parks have become a destination for users from the Greater Toronto Area as well as local residents.
As this predominately condominium community becomes a 'neighbourhood', the inherent change and growth have created gaps in its maintenance and development. It is time to relook at the local demographics, transportation issues, traffic management, maintenance, management, infrastructure and more in order to address this community's needs and eliminate challenges posed by growth.
