The study is led by the city’s Planning and Building Services department, which will analyze land use and development, including but not limited to transportation, transit, environment, urban design and climate change.

The process is expected to continue through to approval in the winter of 2024, said the city in a release.

“The historical use of the lands in the study area has helped to shape the economic, social, cultural and environmental fabric of the city, and the future use of the lands will also do so for generations to come,” said senior project manager, Bruce Bellows.
