The City of Toronto is in talks with two foundations to fund studies for University Avenue revitalization. “The dream of modifying the roadway of University Avenue and transforming and connecting its patchwork of green spaces into a major park in the city’s downtown core came a bit closer to the possibility of being realized last month after a number of stakeholders committed to fund the studies necessary to push the project forward.” ~ Novae Res Urbis (July 14, 2023)

On April 6, 2023, and again on June 16, the Province proposed more destructive changes to provincial planning laws. The Alliance for a Livable Ontario (ALO), based on a comprehensive review by expert planning advisors, concluded that if implemented, the proposed changes will turbocharge sprawl and fatally harm Ontario’s agricultural sector and environment.

Ontario Place for All has released “A Better Idea,” a proposal for a new way to approach the revitalization of Ontario Place. Given the recent addition of the Science Centre to the site, the new proposal leverages the Ontario Line at both ends, connecting the natural features of the Don River Valley and Lake Ontario, while revitalizing Ontario Place, enhancing and expanding the mandate of the Science Centre, while building affordable housing.
