Request for report on the feasibility of naming a new parkette at 167 Armour Boulevard - by Councillor James Pasternak, seconded by Councillor Michael Thompson

Shortly after it was sold, the lot was proposed for severance. The Armour Heights residents quickly came together to propose a better use, other than densification, for the iconic triangular shaped parcel. Through numerous discussions between the engaged residents, the new property owner and City Staff, 167 Armour Boulevard was unanimously identified as a significant piece of land that could be secured for public enjoyment. Spearheaded by Councillor James Pasternak, a deal was closed in late 2018, where the City of Toronto would build a new parkette at the corner of Westgate Boulevard and Armour Boulevard. The new public space will eventually unlock the pedestrian-busy corner to residents, visitors and students at the neighbouring school. Demolition of the previously existing house has recently been completed and park design focus discussions, between the Councillor's office, Parks staff and residents, will begin shortly. As a result, the new parkette will need a name to the satisfaction of the Armour Heights Community.
