Where We Started

In 2014, the City completed the Clarkson Village Study with extensive input from residents and area businesses. Working together, the community helped create a comprehensive vision for the revitalization of the area. That vision resulted in a set of planning policies (urban design guidelines, official plan policies and zoning changes) that remain in place today.

Where We’re Going

After more than ten years, it’s time to review the planning policies we put in place for Clarkson Village. We want to understand what’s working well and areas where improvements may be required. Are there opportunities to bring more housing to the area that we should consider? Do we need to do things differently to encourage a more vibrant, pedestrian-friendly main street?

The study update will look at opportunities for:

• fostering a complete community by providing residents with places to walk to shops and other services
• maintaining Lakeshore Road West as a vibrant main street for commercial activity, and
• providing more housing and mixed-use buildings that combine residential and commercial spaces, including exploring appropriate locations for taller buildings.

We want to hear from residents, businesses, community groups and other interested parties to understand opportunities and constraints.

When complete, the Clarkson Village Study will result in updated urban design guidelines and amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law that supports growth and enhances Clarkson Village’s main street and rich heritage.
