This Motion seeks authority to increase funding for the David Crombie Park Revitalization Design sub-project in the 2019 Parks, Forestry and Recreation Capital Budget by $0.053 million, fully funded by Section 42 Above 5 percent Cash-in-lieu. David Crombie Park is a 3.95 acre linear City park that forms the "green spine" of the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood in the downtown east. The park, heavily used by the entire St. Lawrence community, was built in the late 1970's on former railway lands as an integral open space for then-new infill neighbourhood on former industrial lands.

Parks, Forestry and Recreation Capital Projects procured professional services in June 2018 to prepare a comprehensive conceptual design and implementation plan for improvements to David Crombie Park that meet the current and future needs of the community. The design will evolve through consultation with residents, stakeholders and the public. To provide a more comprehensive park plan that addresses the needs of the neighbourhood, the scope of work has been expanded to include two parks that book-end Crombie Park. Parliament Square Park is an existing recreational park on the east end of Crombie Park while the block south of the St. Lawrence Market will be a future park immediately west of Crombie Park. The cost of the additional work is $0.053 million. This request will increase the project cost and 2019 cash flow for the David Crombie Park Revitalization Design sub-project by $0.053 million from a Section 42 Above 5 percent Cash-in-lieu for the additional scope of work.
