It appeared that the waterfront property didn’t actually have any waterfront! After further investigation, we became more convinced that we were right. After countless emails and phone calls, we had begun to doubt anything would be done about it.

Christie’s Site Redevelopment Expect a lot of meetings and consultation this year about the former Christie’s site at Parklawn & Lake Shore. The City and First Captial Realty have reached an agreement that will result in a Secondary Plan for the site. Two things will be happening concurrently: the planning study, and a Transportation Master Plan. The City has a comprehensive page here with lots of background information. Click here for a direct link to the Planning Report (47 pages). One point that is repeated several times in the planning report is, “The settlement requires the delivery of a new Park Lawn GO station.” The next public meeting is expected in March. |
