Item - 2018.EX36.3

The Executive Committee received the report (June 28, 2018) from the Director, Real Estate Services and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning for information.

At its meeting of January 31, 2018, Toronto City Council ("Council") approved the staff preferred site located at 1627 Danforth Ave (the "Site") for the consolidation of the current Toronto Police Service (the "TPS") 54 and 55 Divisions. As part of this decision, Council also directed the Deputy City Manager, Internal Corporate Services and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report to the Executive Committee with a progress report on the master planning process. This report represents the progress report and provides additional information on the work done to date.

The Site is currently used by the Toronto Transit Commission (the "TTC") to house the Toronto Transit Commission's Danforth Division Offices and since 2002 has been used for various other Toronto Transit Commission functions such as warehousing and storage. In addition, the Toronto Public Library (the "TPL") has a branch located on the northeast corner of the Site. The current site layout is shown on Attachment 1 to this report.

Subsequent to Council approving the Site for the amalgamated 54 and 55 Divisions, Council directed staff to convene an interdivisional working group to undertake a Master Plan for the Site, which will include community consultations, technical studies and confirmation of the required existing and future Toronto Transit Commission uses to be included on the site. Additionally, the working group was to explore options around potential external and internal partners, additional uses, and conceptual site plans. The Master Plan, being led by CreateTO, is to be completed by the end of 2018 and presented to Council in February or March of 2019.  The Toronto Police Service and Toronto Transit Commission facilities are to be constructed between 2020 and 2022. The timing of the Toronto Public Library branch revitalization is to be determined.
