  • York Mills/Hoggs Hollow – Jane's Walk
    YORK MILLS/HOGGS HOLLOW (JANE JACOBS’ WALK - 2011) (Notes from the comments made by Glenn Bonnetta) The Miller Tavern is one of the few remaining commercial buildings on its original site on Yonge Street. It has been here for over 150 years. For many years it was known as the York Mills Hotel. It was not the first hotel in the valley. Madam Valliere’s Inn was mentioned during the War of 1812 and was probably on Old Yonge Street, north of the bridge over the Don River. Other proprietors probably later took over this inn. When Yonge Street was constructed in the 1790s, the sides of the valley were deemed too steep, so it skirted around the edge of the east side of the valley. Yonge Street was straightened between 1833 and 1835, and the old inn was no longer conveniently located. The first hotel on “new” Yonge Street was built in 1836 by James Hogg, a local miller, on his property. He established a post office at the hotel, and named the area York Mills. It had previously been known as Heron’s Bridge and Milford. A store was built to the north of the inn. The new inn became a good stopping place for farmers going to and from Toronto. After Hogg’s death in 1839 it was known as Anderson’s Tavern. The inn and store burned down in 1856. Locals saved the stables, which were on the west side of Yonge Street. A new inn and store were built by John and William Hogg, sons of James Hogg.

  • Winners of the 2015 IPI Awards of Excellence Marry Beauty and Functionality Into Stunning Parking Facilities
    form function+ Winners of the 2015 IPI Awards of Excellence marry beauty and functionality into stunning parking facilities. By Tracey Bruch, CAPP, and Anderson Moore LOTS OF PEOPLE DON’T THINK “GORGEOUS” when they think “parking.” Members of IPI know they should because the parking lots and garages currently under construction and being renovated are often things of beauty, offering amenities and aesthetics to their com- munities and often serving as pieces of art unto their own. The IPI Awards of Excellence showcase the very best in parking design, including both new facilities and those being renovated. It’s always a pleasure for our judges to sift through the entries, and always nearly impossible to pick the winners. Amazing parking facilities, it seems, are popping up all over the place, which spells great things for our industry and its customers. We’re pleased to present this year’s winners, who received their awards at the 2015 IPI Conference & Expo in Las Vegas this month. It was a great year for parking, as these projects attest, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead. 22 INTERNATIONAL PARKING INSTITUTE | JULY 2015 hen the Philadelphia Zoo decided to construct surrounding community can purchase parking tickets a new intermodal transportation center to online, pay at the zoo box ofce, or pay via credit card at its popular campus, no vanilla box would do. the entry/exit gates.

On a recent Urban Hike the group of 19 Bruce Trailers were exuberant, chatting like magpies, laughing and generally out for a good time! Was it because this was an extra added hike and they were appreciative, or simply they all had a heightened anticipation of seeing each other again and being in the fresh air? We did not have a good start. One person tripped over a bootlace, another dropped his water bottle on his foot and squealed around in pain. Any self-respecting bug, small animal, bird or butterfly would certainly have the sense to stay well clear of us.
