City of Toronto Heritage Planning utilises Cultural Heritage Resource Assessments (CHRAs) to document and analyse an area’s history and ensure that properties of potential cultural heritage value or interest are appropriately identified, understood and conserved. In December 2020, Heritage Planning engaged Common Bond Collective to prepare the Bloor-Yorkville Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) as part of, and coordinated with, the Bloor-Yorkville Secondary Plan Study.
The Bloor-Yorkville Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) Area is bounded by the CPR railway corridor (north), Yonge Street, Rosedale Valley Road and Sherbourne Street (east), Charles Street (south) and Avenue Road (west).
In response to this final report, the ABC Residents Association (ABCRA), the Greater Yorkville Residents Association (GYRA), and the Bloor East Neighbourhood Association (BENA), representing the area covered by the assessment, commented on the report to the City’s Heritage Preservation staff and Councillor Saxe.
Please read our two letters of comments and opinions.
We continue to wait impatiently for the long promised Bloor-Yorkviille Secondary Plan.
