The City of Toronto is reviewing and updating the Downsview Area Secondary Plan, which was approved in 1999 and amended in 2001. A review and update of the Plan will ensure that the planning policies for the area are current and appropriate to guide future development and the appropriate zoning can be in place.

Parc Downsview Park Inc. the federal government-owned company responsible for the creation of Downsview Park on a self financing basis continues to work closely with the City of Toronto as they advance their Secondary Plan review and Zoning update process of the Downsview area— the key component of which and the inspiration for is Downsview Park. This process, expected to conclude with adoption by City Council in June 2009 of a modernized and strengthened Secondary Plan and Zoning , which will establish the land use designation and permissions that will guide the development of the Downsview Park sustainable community.

In particular, the review will consider the Spadina Subway Extension which will include a new subway station near Sheppard Avenue and the CN rail line and that will connect with the GO Transit rail service between Barrie and downtown Toronto.

We look forward to harmonizing our vision with that of the City as we build Downsview Park into the unique landmark that was intended.
