The Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan commenced in January 2015 with the goal of creating a long-term vision for the Bathurst Quay community, supported by an implementation strategy to start delivering needed improvements. The study developed recommendations for public realm, pedestrian and transportation improvements; improved water’s edge access and dockwall rehabilitation; approaches to the rehabilitation and re-use of heritage buildings on the Canada Malting property; and the creation of new and improved open space and park facilities.
The Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan was adopted by Toronto City Council in July 2017, with implementing land use policies adopted in 2018. Implementation of capital improvement projects – delivered in partnership with multiple City divisions and external partners – began in October 2019 and will continue through 2022.
