Summary
The purpose of this report is to table the Final Report of the "Golden Mile Market Analysis and Economic Strategy" completed by urbanMetrics Inc. in December, 2016. urbanMetrics Inc. was retained by City Planning (Community Planning, Scarborough District) in conjunction with Economic Development & Culture (Scarborough District) to undertake the Golden Mile Market Analysis and Economic Strategy Study in 2016.
The intent of the Market Analysis and Economic Strategy Study is to provide an understanding of current economic and employment conditions for the Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study Area and Sub-areas (as noted below). The Study is also intended to suggest an economic strategy for the Study Area that would be used to inform and assist in the preparation of a vision and planning framework for the Golden Mile area, in advance of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
The findings of the urbanMetrics' Final Report will be reviewed and considered by the City and all stakeholders during the next stage of the Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study – in the development of a vision and planning framework for the Golden Mile area.
