Approved – new park at 28 Bathurst!

I’m delighted that City Council approved my colleague, Councillor Mike Layton’s plan, to turn vacant land at 28 Bathurst into a brand new 2-acre park. This is tremendous news, and a great win for our shared downtown neighbourhoods.

As our city grows, we must focus on building neighbourhoods rather than just adding density. As we all know too well, parkland development downtown has not kept pace with the level of growth in the population of our communities. I look forward to working collaboratively with our communities on these initiatives, like 28 Bathurst, new parkland at The Well and Rail Deck Park, in the coming weeks and months, and to continue building our neighbourhoods together.
