🚇 Line 5 Transit Crawl: Exploring the Eglinton Crosstown Corridor Bousfielders had a great time last week exploring the western portion of the Eglinton Crosstown (Line 5) corridor. The transit crawl took participants to several key stations along the corridor, highlighting local history, planning contexts, and Bousfields projects within a number of Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSAs) along the Eglinton corridor. The tour began at Mount Dennis Station, where attendees learned about the area’s transformation, including the redevelopment of the former Kodak lands and the evolving planning framework for the surrounding neighbourhood. The group then visited Oakwood Station where we explored the cultural heritage and significance of Little Jamaica and ongoing planning initiatives in the area. The evening concluded at Eglinton Station, with discussions focused on intensification, the public realm, privately owned publicly accessible spaces (POPS) and future growth within one of Toronto’s busiest urban centres. Throughout the event, Bousfielders also took part in a Line 5-themed bingo activity, had our own ‘Kodak moment’ andsampled snacks from local businesses. It was a great opportunity to learn more about Toronto’s evolving transit network and the communities it serves, while exploring the connections between transit investment and our planning, urban design, and community engagement work. 🚆🌆

The @uli_toronto Summer Social brought together approximately 700 professionals from across the land development and real estate industry at TABLE Fare + Social in CIBC Square.   As an event sponsor, Bousfields was pleased to support an evening that created space for meaningful conversations across disciplines, organizations, and sectors. Events like these play an important role in strengthening relationships within our industry and providing opportunities to exchange ideas outside of day-to-day project work.   Thank you to ULI Toronto for organizing another well-attended event!

Last week was a busy one for the Bousfields team! We helped advance over 30 files between Toronto and East York, North York, Scarborough, and Etobicoke York Community Councils. These files represent a wide range of projects, each with its own complexities, timelines, and stakeholders. We’re appreciative of all the collaborative work that happens across disciplines to get each project to this important milestone in the process. Thank you as well to City staff for their continued engagement and thoughtful review throughout the process. Advancing planning applications is never the work of a single party, and productive outcomes depend on contributions from many people along the way. Stay tuned for more info about some of these projects in the coming weeks!

Sharing an update on 5500 Dundas Street West: City Council recently approved two mid-rise buildings (14 and 16 storeys), bringing new housing and a more active street edge to a site that is currently underused. As described by Bousfields Senior Associate Ryan Doherty, “This site is between two tall building nodes and is of a considerable size and depth where you could achieve a really strong public realm and also provide significant transition to the abutting neighbourhood to the north.” This site highlights how built form and public realm can be shaped to respond to both city-building objectives and the immediate context of surrounding neighbourhoods.

Planning, Urban Design and Engagement often intersects with questions of long-term wellbeing—both in the communities we help shape and beyond them. This year, we took that perspective to Bike for Brain Health—supporting @baycrestfoundation work while fundraising together as a team and getting out on our bikes. Together, our team raised over $12,000, with participants cycling distances ranging from 30 to 90 km in support of brain health research and care. The funds raised in support of this effort contribute to ongoing research and care focused on brain health.

Bousfields is proud to be a part of the team behind a new seasonal sports dome for @havergalcollege. Last month the minor variances to accommodate the height and setbacks were approved at North York Committee of Adjustment. As Bousfields Senior Associate, Courtney Heron-Monk, noted “this project represents a significant milestone as the first (and currently only) sports dome supporting an independent girls’ school in the City. It will provide year-round athletic space, helping to remove barriers to access and supporting the continued growth of girls in sport. A great outcome not only for Havergal, but for the broader community as well.”
