Origin
Summary
This report is required to enable the implementation and evaluation of a pilot project for the temporary installation of a parklet on Spadina Road in conjunction with other public realm improvements contained within the Streetscape Master Plan for Forest Hill Village. City Council approval is required because Spadina Road has a TTC route.
The pilot project will maintain the existing 2-way traffic lanes and will require no modifications to Spadina Road.
Staff from Transportation Services, Public Realm, Legal Services, Toronto Parking Authority and the TTC have been consulted in the preparation of this report.
