GREATER FOREST LAWN COMMUNITIES LOCAL AREA PLANNING
Communities change and evolve over time. Conversations about where, why, and how revitalization and redevelopment should happen are essential to ensure our communities change in the right ways.
Through the local area planning process, we’ll work together to create a future vision for how land could be used and redeveloped in the area.
A local area plan outlines a future vision for the area, provides guidance on what growth and change makes sense where, and includes development direction that residents, landowners, builders and developers, city planners and Councillors can commonly refer to as new development ideas are proposed by property owners and landowners in the area.
WHAT COMMUNITIES ARE INVOLVED?
The Greater Forest Lawn Communities Local Area Planning project is one of the 42 multi-communities areas in the city. This project includes the communities of:
Albert Park/Radisson Heights
Applewood Park
Dover
Erin Woods
Forest Heights
Forest Lawn
Forest Lawn Industrial
Penbrooke Meadows
Red Carpet
Southview
09Q
A portion of Golden Triangle.
A new local area plan will fill gaps in communities/areas where no local plan currently exists and replace other plans that are largely outdated. In this project context, the local area plan will cover multiple communities and will be adopted by Council as an Area Redevelopment Plan.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
We’re discussing growth, change, and redevelopment in your community and the surrounding local area. Your input and the input of your neighbours will help create a local area plan to ensure change happens in the right ways in the Greater Forest Lawn Communities. There are multiple opportunities for you to be involved, both online and in-person.
