california cities with a public art master plan

In 2016, the City Planning division engaged consultants and began the work to produce this public art master plan. That plan identified the need for a Scarborough Centre Public Art Plan that would inform the selection method, quality and location of new public art. In 2012, City Council endorsed the Scarborough Centre Public Space and Streetscape Master Plan, a vision for the area known as Scarborough Centre (the area bounded by the 401, Markham Road, Ellesmere Road and Midland Avenue). 'It is my goal that we use this Scarborough model as an example and that we develop more of these master plans to address public art strategically in other areas of the city.' 'The Scarborough Centre Public Art Master Plan is the first City-led public art master plan for the City of Toronto,' said Gregg Lintern, Toronto's Chief Planner. Toronto's City Planning division has secured several public art master plans in the past – produced by the private sector – as part of the development approval process. The implementation of these opportunities will be secured through the planning process, following the Percent for Public Art Guidelines. The Scarborough Centre Public Art Master Plan is a tool to be used by city planners to assist in the identification of opportunities that engage with the private sector. 'With the anticipated growth coming to this area of the city as we expand transit, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a vision for the highest quality urban community and public art is a huge part of that vision.' 'This master plan recognizes the regional importance of Scarborough Centre and incorporates the aspirations of the local community,' said Mayor John Tory. The master plan will serve as an important and proactive guide in prioritizing public art sites (both publicly and privately owned) that offer the most potential and the greatest impact for public art opportunities in Scarborough Centre. Toronto City Council today approved the Scarborough Centre Public Art Master Plan.
