This episode is all about plans: big and small, successful and dashed.<\/p>\n
First, Toronto Star city hall reporter Jennifer Pagliaro<\/a> takes us through the story of Rail Deck Park from its ambitious announcement to the recent Local Planning Appeal Tribunal decision<\/a> that seems to have put an end to the City’s hopes to build a new downtown park over the rail corridor.<\/p>\n Then Glyn goes on a brief rant about public washrooms.<\/p>\n Finally, Ontario municipalities have until July 2022 to update their Official Plans<\/a> to conform with the provincial government’s current growth plan. This means Toronto, still in a pandemic, must begin a public engagement process about how the city should grow and develop. To discuss what needs to change about Toronto’s Official Plan, we spoke to CivicAction<\/a> CEO Leslie Woo<\/a>, and Ryerson Professor and Director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning Pamela Robinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Subscribe to the podcast on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Google Play<\/a>, or\u00a0SoundCloud<\/a>, or follow our\u00a0RSS feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
