Review and Audit of Community and Social Infrastructure Needs in High-Growth Areas - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor Jaye Robinson

This unprecedented level of extreme development is placing a critical strain on existing community infrastructure needs and calls in to question the capacity to absorb the needs of future development once completed. The lack of community infrastructure such as social services, childcare centres, public health services, seniors and youth centres and public libraries cannot keep up with the anticipated population growth. The need for a comprehensive, city-wide inventory of community infrastructure is essential if we are to have a city that works. This study of community infrastructure needs is necessary to meet with the forecasted population growth in high density areas. Identifying necessary community infrastructure additions and improvements is required to meet the required unprecedented demands that will be caused by this extreme development brought about by the ever-changing and ever-increasing demand within the community.
