On the agenda
As the city filed it
The urban forests of Scarborough Village and Cliffcrest serve as vital natural infrastructure, protecting the Bluffs from erosion, reducing flood risk, and supporting city air quality. However, rapid and often unpermitted development in Ward 20 is removing trees and covering permeable land, altering water flow in an area with a high-water table and increasing the risk of basement flooding. These activities are endangering the natural environment of these distinctive communities and popular tourist areas.

Characters of the Neighbourhood Guidelines would provide clear direction to City Planning, Engineering and the Scarborough Committee of Adjustment to determine growth parameters that will protect the fragile environment and character of our neighbourhoods. The Scarborough Bluffs, trails and ravines are destinations not only for residents, but for visitors. Reason for Urgency: This motion is urgent as the Character Study for the Guildwood Community needs to be included in the City planning work for 2025.
