The Project
The City of Toronto's waterfront has experienced strong development growth in recent years. Growth in the waterfront is expected to intensify in both the short- and long-term. A comprehensive Sanitary Servicing Master Plan is required to ensure that the necessary sanitary sewer infrastructure is in place to effectively service this growth.
The City is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to develop this Master Plan. The study area for this study is shown below and is bounded by Bathurst Street, Front Street/Eastern Avenue, Coxwell Avenue and Lake Ontario. This study area encompasses several large development parcels including East Bayfront, West Don Lands, Lower Don Lands, and the Portlands. Many other smaller developments are also proposed such as individual commercial complexes, office towers, and condominiums.
Background
The study area is serviced by three very large sanitary sewers, known as "interceptors." Wastewater collected by these three interceptors flows to the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant where it is treated and released into Lake Ontario. There are also three pumping stations in the study area, which aid in the flow of wastewater to the treatment plant.
The Master Plan will ensure that wastewater from existing and future development in this area will be properly conveyed to the treatment plant.
Public Consultation
Public Information Centre #1 - June 2011
The first opportunity for the public to learn about this project was held on June 21, 2011 at Metro Hall. This event gave the public the chance to learn about and provide feedback on the objectives of the project, the possible solutions and the criteria that will be used to evaluate the various alternatives.
Public Information Centre #2 - February 2012
The second Public Information was held on February 22, 2012 at the Harbourfront Community Centre. The Public Information Centre provided an opportunity for the public to review and provide input on the evaluation of alternatives and the preliminary preferred solution, and to ask questions of the Project Team.
