This report contains the analysis and recommendations of five staff working groups formed under the direction of the Chief Administrative Officer in May 2000. Led by the Commissioner of Urban Development Services, the groups were assembled to investigate the recommendations of the report of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Task Force.
The staff reviews looked at how best to implement the Task Force proposal. Where issues arise, strategies and solutions are recommended. In some areas the staff reviews are more detailed than in others, thanks largely to recent research. Additional detailed analysis, where required, has been recommended. Some public policy issues have been identified, requiring political decisions. In all respects, staff have attempted to exercise due diligence in constructing a response to the ambitious and exciting proposals contained in the Task Force report.
The working groups assessed five core areas — Planning Options, Infrastructure, Financial Impacts, Economic Impacts and Implementation.
It is staff's conclusion that the Task Force proposal is imaginative, achievable and aligned with emerging planning policies and other City initiatives. Refinements to the proposal outlined in the Task Force report would be made when the City prepares a new Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the Central Waterfront. The new Official Plan and Zoning By-law will provide a statutory blueprint for the new waterfront. If the new plan's implementation is to meet Olympic Bid deadlines, an expedited planning process is essential.
