As the city filed it

The Revitalization of Alexandra Park and the Atkinson Housing Co-operative is well underway after approximately 8 years of construction, and many more years of hard work on the part of the local community and their partners to plan for the Revitalization. When all the work is finished, 410 Rent Geared to Income rental units will have been replaced, along with 396 units refurbished and 1,540 new market units built. These homes will be within a community with a new public park, a new street network and new pedestrian connections, an incubator space for local social enterprise and business development, and a brand new Alexandra Park Community Centre.

An extensive community-led consultation process for the design and program of the new Community Centre is starting this summer. Construction will take place in the next phase of the Revitalization after the current phase of new buildings is completed. In support of design excellence and delivering on the ultimate vision for programming and operating the new Alexandra Park Community Centre, an additional $1 million for the project has been identified from local Section 37 community benefits funds. This Motion is urgent because design work is beginning with the community during the summer of 2022.
