Civic Precinct Project Update
At the Special Council Meeting, Council voted confirming the inclusion of park space and other public amenities such as an amphitheatre, reflecting pond/skating rink, public promenade and gardens at the Civic Precinct.  The Civic Precinct is the Town-owned land at the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive. It is recognized for its potential to be an important symbolic and functional space in the centre of Town. The Civic Building and underground parking were removed from the project by Council. Plans are still under consideration for expanding the Central library. Staff will report back to Council in 2019 with updated financials and alternate options for additional office space, as well as options for parking at the Civic Precinct. For more information about the project, please contact Italo Brutto, Commissioner of Environment and Infrastructure Services at 905-771-2527. For more information about project finances, contact David Dexter, Director of Financial Services/Treasurer at 905-771-2484.
