Lakeshore Road - Benson Ave - High Street Block Redevelopment

Tiffany Development has proposed a mixed-use 3.1 acre block redevelopment on (16) assembled properties on the block just west of Credit Landing plaza, between Lakeshore Road West and High Street, west to Benson Avenue (map). 

The site plans were last modified November 4, 2011.

NOTE: Four (4) developer-sponsored Community Meetings were held during Summer 2011 to receive public input.  While these community meetings were not part of any official public process, City Planning Staff attended in order to monitor the proceedings and provide technical clarifications in answer to residents' questions.  It is confirmed that the developer will not hold a 5th community meeting, as stated at the 4th meeting held August 15, 2011.

Neighbourhood Steering Committee (NSC):  Was formed in Spring 2011 by approx. 20 residents from various streets in the immediate neighbourhood (map) to identify and examine the issues and develop a response to be presented to the community for review.  This locally-driven process sought to establish community consensus in response to the developer's proposals.  The Town of Port Credit Association (TOPCA) facilitated this process by providing a website platform and e-mail support. 

TOPCA COMMITTEE: TOPCA formally announced at its Annual General Meeting on November 30, 2011 that it was forming a Committee in regard to the L/B/H proposal, and one of the neighbours was elected to the TOPCA Executive.  The NSC was merged with TOPCA’s B/H/L Committee given the number of TOPCA members in the area.  Some TOPCA members from the neighbourhood have volunteered to serve directly on the Committee to ensure the widest possible consultation and local input into a planned formal response which will be sent to the City Planning Dept. and our political representatives.
