Join a Virtual Public Meeting on Villiers Island​

​

Learn more about the plans for ‘Villiers Island’ and the future opportunities for public input.​

Port Lands Flood Protection unlocks an opportunity to build more housing, including affordable housing on what is currently called ‘Villiers Island’. The City of Toronto, CreateTO and Waterfront Toronto were tasked with finding ways to increase density planned for this island that don’t compromise the vision set by the Villiers Island Precinct Plan and Port Lands Planning Framework for a sustainable, complete community.

At a public meeting in June 2023, we shared how the planning context for the waterfront has changed since the precinct plan was approved in 2017 and some different approaches to increasing density on ‘Villiers Island’. In that meeting and follow-up survey, we took your questions and feedback about how best to incorporate more homes in this new neighbourhood. On March 26, we will present an update on the work we are doing to update the precinct plan and the recommended approach that resulted from the Density Study, including public feedback.

We are also planning to present the same material in person on May 2, 2024. More information on that meeting location and time will be shared once available.

Is there a finalized plan for how Queens Quay meets with (new)Cherry and possibly merges with Lake Shore? I feel like if the plan is some sort of streetcar linkage they might need some space, no?

I had a quick look at this area while biking the other day. Looks like they’re prepared for the QQ-Cherry intersection to go in here next to the existing ped crossing. They built up a curb and put in a bike stall but that can relocate a lot easier than the hydrant and crosswalk posts. Still a long way from QQ extension with Parliament slip still to be filled in.
