  • Progress on Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020
    CD18.4 REPORT FOR ACTION Activating People, Resources and Policies: Progress on Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020 Date: February 8, 2017 To: Community Development and Recreation Committee From: Executive Director, Social Development, Finance and Administration Wards: All SUMMARY Since the inception of the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy (TSNS) 2020 in 2014, over 24,000 residents, 1,700 stakeholders and 21 City Divisions and Agencies have been engaged in coordinated service planning and delivery in 31 Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs). TSNS has provided a new mechanism for residents, who historically have been disconnected from civic participation, to influence policies and decision making at the citywide level. Fifteen neighbourhood planning tables across the 31 NIAs consisting of residents, businesses, community agencies, Councillors and City staff meet regularly to identify priorities and actions in support of neighbourhood well-being. Each of the tables is supported by a Community Development Officer (CDO) whose role is to connect residents with decision makers so that neighbourhood goals and priorities are addressed through responsive policies and programs, and resident-led initiatives. This engagement has strengthened relationships between residents, City staff and community stakeholders. The TSNS 2020 implementation plan, developed in partnership with residents, community agencies, funders, and Toronto Public Library (TPL), Toronto Public Health (TPH), Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), and City divisions has three key objectives: • Activating People • Activating Resources • Activating Neighbourhood-Friendly Policies The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the implementation of the TSNS 2020 in the designated 31 Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs) and recommended projects for the Partnership Opportunities Legacy (POL) funding for 2017.

TORONTO — Ontario's Government for the People is keeping its promise to build transit and make Ontario open for business by working with the private sector to build commuters a new, modern station at Mimico GO. This station is the product of a new kind of partnership. This project will optimize the use of government-owned land and increase transit ridership by building a new development along an existing transit line. We are improving the transit experience and making life easier for Ontarians. Today John Yakabuski, Minister of Transportation, Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Kinga Surma, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Transportation, Christine Hogarth, MPP, Etobicoke-Lakeshore, and Phil Verster, President and CEO, Metrolinx, visited the Mimico GO Station to announce that Ontario had signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with Vandyk Group of Companies. Metrolinx and Vandyk will negotiate the construction of a new Mimico GO Station. "We are making it easier for people commuting in the GTHA," said Minister Yakabuski. "The new station we are building at Mimico is part of our plan to improve service on the Lakeshore West line to every 15 minutes or better. By working with businesses to develop this site, we are delivering on our promise that Ontario is open for business, while we get this work done at a lower cost to the taxpayer." The new Mimico GO Station will include a new, accessible station building, pedestrian tunnels and elevators, refurbished platforms and new entrances to the station and below grade parking.
