Humber Bay Shores
Some of the ocmments on this website are outrageous. If anyone wants to know what seciton money is received or is anticpated that is a matter of public record, just email
coundillor_grimes@toronto.ca and ask. June 17, 2011 the just City received a Section 37 payment of just over a million dollars for the development at 2115 to 2139 Lake Shore Blvd. W. Money for these developments is not paid in advance only after completion to a specific level. $480 K is towards the finalization of park improvements south of Marine Parade Drive, $30 K for improvements to the adjacent park
$500 K was to offset costs for the implementation of the outdoor ice skating which is for the whole city. and was already built
For planning purposes with the city of Toronto Mimico includes Humber Bay Shores. More than 10 million dollars was spent in Humber Bay Shores/Mimico to extend the linear park - from city money not section money. Millions is being spent on widening Park Lawn Rd - because of the increased population, bus routes have been extended and last year millions were spent to upgrade the hydro power lines - which come down Kipling Avenue, to increase and stabilize the power to the area, this will continue this year along Lake Shore Blvd, (andLake Shore is two words when referring to the street), and the switches are being replaced this year. Two new traffic lights, at a cost of $150,00 a piece have been added to accomodate the condos, one at Legion Rd and one at Palace Pier. Mimico Creek walking trail is being built for the condos along Park Lawn and Legion Rd, with Section money and other funds from the TRCA and the storm water management system at Bonar Creek ( Park Lawn and Lake Shore)is being expanded to stop storm water run off from ruining the land south of Lake Shore.
The Jean Augustine Park and the Humber Bay Shores Park were built with section money.
The Humber Bay Library was refurbished in recent history. It is on Park Lawn Rd just north of the Queensway. Plans were approved at City Council this year to rebuild the out buildings in Humber Bay Park East to eventually include a restaurant.
