The design looks pretty solid and cohesive

Hey @RepublicDevelopments would you consider an off site parkland dedication here?

 

[RepublicDevelopments]

There is onsite parkland here already. If moving that offsite was accretive and supported by city staff then we would consider it.

There is onsite parkland here already. If moving that offsite was accretive and supported by city staff then we would consider it.

In that case, I will put in for one of two off-site choices.

1) Enlarge Centre Park. Its small and would benefit from strategic expansion, its only 2 blocks south of this site, on the same side of Yonge:

2) As a fall-back, if the City hasn't completed all the acquisitions, Golding Park just to the west of Yonge would benefit from enlargement within its block:

If either of these sites was looked at with a lense of cooperation with other developers and/or looking at one park's enlargement to satisfy multiple projects of your own...

A much larger quality of life gain/amenity gain is possible.

Obviously you would also want to make use of the no longer park space on this site, and I think that's supportable.
