Scarborough Community Council:

1. Received the report (May 2, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District for information.

The purpose of this report is to provide Scarborough Community Council with a status update on the Scarborough Centre Focused Review (SCFR) Study (refer to Attachment 1 for Study Area boundaries) and to table the final consultant report for Phase 1. 

In consultation with staff from other City Divisions and Agencies, City Planning (Scarborough District) staff worked with a multi-disciplinary consultant team, The Planning Partnership (TPP), to advance Phase 1 of the SCFR.  This first phase of the Study focused on data collection and analysis, and synthesizing work completed to date.  Outcomes included the identification of: a vision and principles; opportunities and challenges; an emerging public realm framework and character areas and corridors; and a series of big moves that are further articulated in a more detailed Preliminary Public Realm Plan.  The work completed as part of Phase 1 will be used to guide and inform future phases of the SCFR.
