🔔 We just got informed by Councillor Morley’s office that the City has identified the source of the spill and, along with the MECP, they are working with the source on containment and clean up. There is now a standard process under way that needs to be followed, and the party responsible has been directed to complete a spill report within the next 5 days. We will provide another update soon!

“We received two letters from the Mimico Residents’ Association, both received on June 9th, 2026 regarding accessibility and safety, and we received 60 letters from Mimico residents regarding Mimico GO Station related to service, accessibility and safety. Those were received at various times.
We will respond to all of the letters.”
Thanks everyone who sent letters and we look forward to the response from MX.
Historic Mimico Train Station
The former Mimico Train Station building in Coronation Park is undergoing renovations, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural upgrades, along with interior and exterior accessibility improvements.
Mimico residents have long advocated for additional indoor public space in the community, and in 2024 Councillor Amber Morley took this to City Council, secured support, and it’s now in the approved City budget. We have been in a few meetings already and are very excited about this (it even got mentioned in the Mimico Transit Forum).
🚂 Residents are invited to a pop-up information event at Coronation Park on Tuesday, July 21st, from 6 to 8 p.m., to hear more about the project and share feedback.
Humber Bay Park West

Phase 1 construction of the Humber Bay Park West Shoreline Project has been completed. Phase 1 work involved minor headland spot repairs in the Dogs Off-Leash Area and pebble placement on the South Beach.
-
Phase 2 construction, set to begin this month, includes spot repairs and a section of full rebuild on the Etobicoke Point headland, as well as pebble placement on the Central Beach.
Amos Waites Park Outdoor Pool Replacement
At the end of this year’s season, the pool at Amos Waites Park will undergo a replacement of the outdoor pool basin with an accessible pool basin and improvements to the pool deck, fence, and change rooms. The pool will remain open throughout this summer.
Sand Beach Road Parkette Expansion
Sand Beach Road Parkette is expanding to provide more waterfront public space and a direct connection from Lake Shore Boulevard West. The park will be expanded to the east on existing and newly acquired City lands. Public consultation and design are expected to start in 2027.
Pedestrian crossing at Hillside Ave and Royal York Rd
Local residents are asking for a pedestrian crossing at Hillside Ave and Royal York Rd, particularly to support access to John English Junior Middle School and Mimico Memorial Park.
To demonstrate community support for this improvement, Councillor Morley is collecting signatures from residents. If you support installing a pedestrian crossing at this location, please add your name to the petition by filling out this form.
Miles Road End Parkette
A new pathway, seating and a games table are scheduled to be installed in the Miles Road End Parkette later this fall.
