BATHURST QUAY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Community Open House December 15, 2015 The Emerging Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan A Preliminary Direction - Refining Concept Plans The general consensus of stakeholders was that Concept 3 should be the starting point for the Neighbourhood Plan with refinements. Moving parking and pick-up and drop-off facilities underground reduces the amount of traffic on Eireann Quay and unlocks the potential to transform the street, energize the Canada Malting Silos site, and enhance the parks, open spaces and community facilities for the neighbourhood. Changes made to refine Concept 3 include retaining Eireann Quay in its current alignment, and introducing a pedestrian promenade on the east side of the street to extend the view and connections from Bathurst Street south to the Canada Malting Silos site and the Lake. A Demonstration Plan illustrates how new uses, parks and open spaces, community services and facilities, pedestrian connections, and special routes and places could be achieved to complete the community.
