A public meeting is set for the morning of Friday, June 25, to discuss development plans for the Quarry Lands in southwest Scarborough.
The meeting, which will be held by video conference and streamed online starting at 9:30 a.m., will allow members of Scarborough Community Council to receive public input on the plans for the 19-acre site located northeast of Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East.
The plan for the Quarry Lands is made up of five development blocks which will include a mix of mid-rise apartments and townhouses creating 1,052 new residential units in the area. The plan also includes two new roads and a public park of approximately 2.4 hectares.
As the plan stands now, there is also consideration being given to replacing one of the proposed mid-rise apartment buildings with a site for an elementary school instead. If this happens, the number of residential units in the plan will decrease as will the size of the public park.
