Summary
This report provides information on the status of the Golden Mile Secondary Plan ("GMSP") Study (Alternatives Report) and recommends the expansion of the study area boundaries to include additional lands west of Victoria Park Avenue and along the southern boundary (south of Eglinton Avenue East). As a result of the recommended expansion, the Study Area would increase from 97 hectares (refer to Attachment 1) to 113 hectares (refer to Attachment 2).
The purpose of this report is also to present the "Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study: Alternatives Report", which provides a summary of Phase Two of the Golden Mile Secondary Plan ("GMSP") Study. This phase was undertaken to further develop the vision and guiding principles for the study area. Several development alternatives were identified for the Golden Mile that were analyzed by the GMSP consultants, City staff and commenting agencies (refer to Attachment 3).
