On January 13, Ward 3 Councillor Chris Fonseca invited residents to a meeting using the subject line "Re: Forest Park Circle - Capacity Study Community Meeting". Residents packed the auditorium at Tomken Arena in expectation of the City’s comment on the status of the proposed Forest Park development.
The audience was walked through a presentation by various Planning Department members that basically concluded that Ward 3 has sufficient capacity to add additional new development and that, as a result, the City is actively looking at opportunities to intensify properties within Ward 3. To this end, the expectation was that attendees would act as a focus group for visioning of future development and stakeholders were being encouraged to participate in a steering committee.
