As the city filed it
The St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Business Improvement Area Master Plan envisions the local roads bounded by Yonge Street, King Street East, Church Street and Wellington Street East to be transformed over time to reflect the Old Town Character, and to support safe, well designed and highly animated pedestrian related complete streets. Consistent with the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Business Improvement Area Master Plan, Colborne Street is proposed to be designed as a flexible street similar in its operation and materiality to Market Street west of the St.

Lawrence Market. The design would support pedestrian activities and, where possible, would have the flexibility to support seasonal cafés and winter parking. Leader Lane, Scott Street and Victoria Street are proposed to reflect a similar material palette and focus on balancing the needs of all users and optimize opportunities for curbside activities. The south side of Colborne Street is lined by a number of high quality heritage buildings which are often used as backdrops for the Film Industry. The Business Improvement Area Heritage Lighting Master Plan for Old Town Toronto has been developed to reinforce the heritage quality of the neighbourhood with Guidelines for Future Lighting Improvements. This initiative will identify opportunities to implement these guidelines to reinforce the heritage assets and in turn support these local businesses, walkability and the film industry. Council authority is required to enter into an agreement(s) with 65 King East LP and/or with its consultants and/or contractors to work with City Divisions and the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Business Improvement Area to redesign and reconstruct Colborne Street between Leader Lane Street and Church Street, and Leader Lane between King Street and Colborne Street. Subject to completion of the design and development of funding arrangements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, this project could proceed to construction, funded by Section 37 contributions. The design is also intended to engage other stakeholders to participate in extending the streetscape associated with the site in future phases to complete the precinct.
