Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Releases Updated Master Plan
Today, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport released its 2018 Master Plan, a document that details priorities and key recommendations to support the airport’s commitment to managed growth that balances airport operations with community interests.
Comprehensive consultation and stakeholder engagement was a major component of the Master Plan planning process, which kicked off in late 2017. Both opportunities and challenges were raised over the last 18 months as PortsToronto held:
- More than 90 meetings with members of the community, government officials, agencies including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and airport stakeholders;
- Three public meetings to present updates on key areas of interest; and,
- A 60-day public comment period when the draft could be reviewed and comments submitted, which were then reflected in the final draft.
The Master Plan incorporates much of the feedback PortsToronto received and sets priorities to continue to build on many of the improvements Billy Bishop Airport has made in the last five years, as well as set a framework for continued improvement and mitigation efforts related to concerns with noise, traffic and emissions.
The 2018 Billy Bishop Airport Master Plan is available on the PortsToronto website and also on the project website: www.BillyBishopAirportMasterPlan2018.com. The project website also includes additional information such as a FAQ section that details questions and answers presented at the public meetings as well as presentations and resource material.
