Mayor John Tory announced his commitment to the ‘University Park’ plan, which would create almost nine acres of new green space by redesigning University Avenue in the city’s downtown.
One of Toronto’s most exciting park projects – turning part of a downtown roadway into green space – has momentum.
Now Mr. Tory says he is stepping up. “It’ll be a historic project that is absolutely appropriate in terms of what and where it is,” he said in an interview Tuesday. “It will bring that street to life.”He pointed to a staff report which will come to council’s Executive Committee next week; it casts those three projects as priorities for the downtown area. In the Kremlinology of Toronto City Hall, this means they are things that the mayor wants to happen and has asked staff to deliver.
Those advocates are making an important and selfless contribution to the city. University Park would serve an area that includes city hall, two courthouses, and the city’s cluster of major hospitals, which have patients from across the province.
