Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail
The Mimico Waterfront Park, situated between Humber Bay Park West and Norris Crescent Parkette, is a 1.1km multi-use waterfront trail created by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with funds provided by Waterfront Toronto. It was developed in two phases, the first completed in 2008 and the second in 2012. It provides safe access to the waterfront, improves the ecological functioning of this section of the Lake Ontario shoreline and offers environmental, economic and social benefits to the Mimico community and broader region. Currently the Waterfront Trail along Lake Ontario ends at Norris Crescent, travels north to Lake Shore Boulevard West, and then continues as a cycle track west along Lake Shore Boulevard West to First Street. There are several privately-owned parcels of land along Lake Ontario that preclude the trail from continuing westward. Many of these lands are vacant, for sale, or are being assembled for development. This presents an opportunity to acquire the lands abutting Lake Ontario for the purpose of connecting and continuing the Mimico Waterfront Park westward. This motion seeks a report from City staff, working jointly with the federal and provincial levels of government, TRCA, Waterfront Toronto and other waterfront organizations, with a plan to extend Mimico Waterfront Park between Royal York Road and First Street, through the sale, acquisition, and development of privately owned lands, including identify potential sources of funding.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the Director, Community Planning Etobicoke York District, and Director, Parks Development and Capital Projects, to consult with the Governments of Ontario and Canada, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Waterfront Toronto, and any other waterfront organizations, to develop a plan and identify funding sources to extend Mimico Waterfront Park between Royal York Road and First Street, through the sale and development of privately owned lands, and any other means available to acquire the lands, and report back to Etobicoke York Community Council in Q4 2021.

The subdivision at 19 Glen Agar Drive was approved by City Council on March 9, 2017 through item 2017.EY20.5, and it has been nearly completed. The draft plan of subdivision included the creation of a public park, Chimney Swift Park. Parks, Forestry and Recreation worked closely with the local residents, the builder, and the builder's consultant to develop a concept plan for Chimney Swift Park, and construction was planned to start in 2020/2021. In 2020 it was brought to my attention by the City's Project Coordinator that there was a monetary gap of approximately $240,000 between the cost to construct the park with the amenities that were promised to the community and the funds committed by the builder. I requested Parks staff to work with the builder to close this gap. I am writing to request a status update from Parks, Forestry and Recreation on their discussions with the builder.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report on progress to build Chimney Swift Park at the April 19, 2021 Etobicoke York Community Council meeting.
