15 Wellesley Street East - Parking Lot Conversion to Parkland
The Green P parking lot situated across the Wellesley subway station has long been designated as parkland according to Toronto's Official City Plan.
In the recently published “TOCore Implementation Strategy: Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan,” 15 Wellesley East is specifically identified as one of the “New Parks Secured through Development and Acquisitions.”
Enhancements to the current parks and the expansion of green spaces would be warmly embraced in our swiftly developing neighbourhood.
In addition to the above public space improvement investments and plans in the core, significant accomplishments have been made in securing new parks through development, City-initiated acquisitions and transfers. Since 2015, the City has secured over 40 new parks totalling over 9 hectares.
This includes 3,800 Sq/M of Park Space secured at 15 Wellesley Street.
The Downtown PPR Plan was adopted by the City Council in May 2018. It was adopted to serve as a vision for the Downtown and to guide the implementation and future review of the Downtown Plan.
It is one of five infrastructure plans and strategies supporting the Downtown Plan (Official Plan Amendment 406), which came into force on June 5, 2019. The PPR Plan sets out a new way of thinking about the integrated design of parks, streets and other publicly accessible open spaces in an intensifying Downtown, to achieve a bold and lasting legacy for future generations.
