Under Gardiner Public Realm Lighting Project Delivery Agreement with The Bentway Conservancy - Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, seconded by Councillor Alejandra Bravo

The Waterfront Business Improvement Area's 2017 Strategic Framework and 2019 'Waterfront Reconnect' Vision document, as well as the recently completed CityPlace and Fort York Business Improvement Area Streetscape Master Plan, highlight the common goal of improving 'north-south' connectivity through public realm improvements and ultimately achieving success in boosting business growth in the area. To achieve this goal, the City's Business Improvement Area Office, through it's Capital Cost Share Streetscape Improvement Program, will collaborate with The Waterfront Business Improvement Area and CityPlace and Fort York Business Improvement Area, to engage The Bentway to pursue the Dan Leckie Way lighting project. The Bentway, having the experience and knowledge, through the completion of other similar projects, would oversee design and construction of pedestrian lighting, on behalf of the City and the Business Improvement Areas, to be funded by the City's Capital Cost Share Program. Based on past project precedents including 2019 Rees Street, 2023 Simcoe Street and 2023 York Street, the City's Business Improvement Area Office supports this initiative and views The Bentway's involvement as integral towards facilitating and managing the Dan Leckie Way lighting project from design through to construction.
