On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Allen Greenway is a 3 km long linear open space and park system on both sides of Allen Road between Highway 401 and Eglinton Avenue West (see: Allen-Greenway-Guidebook_C.-Bucksbaum_Summer-2020_pages-compressed.pdf ( ecologicaldesignlab.ca ) ). The north section is secured by the Lawrence Allen Secondary Plan (see: https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/907d-cp-official-plan-SP-32-LawrenceAllen.pdf ). The Allen Greenway forms the central section of the 25 km long Northwest Cultural Trail (see: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/aa/bgrd/backgroundfile-169568.pdf ).

The Allen Greenway connects with the 9 km long east west York Beltline Park/Kay Gardner Beltline Park. The Allen Greenway is an active transportation route and cultural corridor extending through the Lawrence Heights, Marlee Ville and Little Jamaica communities. These communities are deficient in parkland and are subject to many development applications. There are Transportation Services owned and maintained lands which form part of the open space system. Some of these lands are zoned O (Open Space) but some lands are zoned for uses which do not protect for the open space system. In order to protect these City owned lands from being sold off, these properties need to be zoned as O (Open Space).
