Key Messages from Consultation to Date

AT THE STUDY LAUNCH (JUNE 28) AND THROUGH

3 SUMMER POP-UP EVENTS (JULY-AUGUST)*, WE HEARD:

Congestion, pedestrian and cycling safety, and accessibility are big concerns
Better parks, public spaces, benches, and green spaces are needed
The Golden Mile should have a range of housing and employment options
There should be a wide variety of community services and programs for all ages
Hard (roads, transit, sewers) and soft (parks, community services) infrastructure

needs to keep pace with growth

Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study

Demographics

GMSP Study Area 2016

Population = 693

CIS Study Area 2016

Population = 56,033

Between 2011 and 2016,

population grew more slowly in CIS Study Area than City average (2.9% vs. 4.5%)

Mixed housing stock with

even split of owner / renter tenancies in CIS Study Area

Immigrants make up 53%
f the population in CIS

Study Area, compared to City average of 49%

Land Use & Urban Design: What We Heard

WHAT’S WORKING WELL:

Low- to medium-rise buildings; “relatively” affordable housing
Open feeling, sense of privacy and safety
Ravines and parks (especially Edge Park and Wexford Park)
Balance of residential, retail, social services

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

Encouraging ownership, investment, and a variety of housing options
More mixed use and offjce buildings
More urban and mid-rise; less ”big box”
More public space, public art, beauty, and places for families/children
More affordable housing
