The Mimico 20/20 Revitalization Plan (Plan) is a City of Toronto initiative that has been underway in the community since 2006. Etobicoke York Community Council was scheduled to vote on the Plan on February 26, 2013, however, this has been deferred to April 2013.
In an effort to provide a broad vehicle to gather additional and unbiased feedback from Mimico residents and other members of the Community outside of official channels, the Mimico Residents Association (MRA) developed and administered an online survey.
This survey focused specifically on the following:
- how respondents would vote if they were a city councillor,
- opinions specific to affordable housing, and
- 1:1 rental replacement options.
Below is a Summary of the results. For comments and a complete description of the survey process and response, please download our Survey Report.
