The faster we get this parking lot developed, the better!

I've been excited to see the City move forward with development on Green P parking lots, especially when affordable housing is part of the build. But if residents and businesses pushing for the few dozen lost parking spots to be included as underground parking in these new buildings we'll never see these infill projects come to fruition. This isn't an actual consideration being explored by the city is it?

Looking at CreateTO Housing Tracker on the agenda of next week's meeting....
I nearly spewed my coffee all over my screen:
The what? The Deconstruction of the vacant house? LOL
*****
Of note though, RFP in market for the architect so we're inching forward.

Architectural fee proposals can be gathered within a week or two of announcement. So this will take...three months? Four?

Always giving me work to do PE.....
LOL, I went and found the RFP
It closes today, July 14th.
So 6.5 weeks vs your standard of 2. I mean, if the City is up to 1/3 PE speed......that's progress.

...Expecting this Green-P PARKING LOT to formally CLOSE in Spring-ish 2026, if the Federal Government funding comes thru in the October Budget...

CreateTO CDO Michael Norton said in a interview with NRU recently ground breaking on this site is targeted for "Q2 or Q3 of 2026", which in public sector speak means Spring of 2027.
Even their own target has a 16 month delay between site clearing and construction starting.... there are multiplexes going from land purchase to occupancy in under a year across the city as we speak, and the "public builder" can't even get their contractors on site in 150% of that time. Shambolic.

"Site clearing" is very challenging when you have a surface lot, didn't you know?

Of course, there's all those ants, leaves and discarded cans of pop to sweep away. Now that you mention it I think an equity impact analysis is in order before we can do that, we'll need 24 months for that of course."Site clearing" is very challenging when you have a surface lot, didn't you know?
