<\/p>\n

Allan A. Lamport stadium is falling into disrepair, and the City wants to fix it. Problem is, as is the case with so many other things that need fixing in Toronto, they say they don’t have enough money to do so. The City’s plan is to look for a private partner to help pay for repairs and help make the City-owned facility sustainable. This could involve adding retail spaces to the building, putting a bubble over new and improved turf, or increasing the number of parking spaces on the south side of the property.<\/p>\n

A community meeting held Sept. 20<\/a> to get input from local residents left many in attendance frustrated with the lack of effort the City has made to involve them in the process. Redeveloping the old stadium is an opportunity to not only improve the facility for the regional field hockey and soccer players who use it, but also create new and improved recreational spaces and opportunities for people in the local community.<\/p>\n

Residents in Parkdale and Liberty village want more of a say, and have taken the initiative to organize a meeting of their own to gather input from people living in the neighbourhood. Anyone interested in the future of the stadium is welcome to attend. Here are details:<\/p>\n

Where: Lamport Stadium (King St. and Jefferson Ave – see map<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

When: October 5, 2006<\/h3>\n

Two sessions are offered. Pick whichever fits your schedule:
\nSession A: 4:30 – 5:30
\nSession B: 6:00 – 7:00<\/h3>\n

Open to residents of all ages
\nSupervised children’s activities are available<\/p>\n
