November 2015, Issue 64 November 2015 Volume 15 Issue 64 Facebook: Councillor Paul Ainslie www.paulainslie.com Twitter: @cllrainslie Dear Friends, As we ready for the winter season please make your surroundings safe for the anticipated conditions, section 20 of this report offers suggested tips for severe weather. Also check on your neighbours who may need assistance. Being a good neighbor contributes to the wellbeing of the community increasing its quality of life. If you or your neighbours require assistance please contact my office at 416-396-7222, we can guide you to services. Keeping road safety in mind, I am making available for pick up the City's "Please Slow Down" Signs at my constituency office located on the 2nd floor of the Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough Road. The signs were printed by Transportation Services who wanted to address the significant increase in pedestrian and cyclist collisions during the Fall season; they serve as an effective reminder that speed is a local issue, not all drivers will necessarily slow down. Please be continue to pay attention when crossing the road or when your children are playing outside. If you would like a sign please call my office 416-392-4008 to schedule a time for pick up. I am pleased to announce that all the approvals for the Bickford Residence (Inn) renovations and extension are now complete and the project is moving forward. On Tuesday November 17, 2015, City of Toronto staff of the Economic Development and Culture Division will host a meeting to provide an overall update on the Guild Park and Gardens site. Further details are available in Section 6 of this report. On Saturday October 24, 2015 I was pleased to be invited to speak at the Women and Poverty Conference by "We are for Women". The well attended session spoke on the important issue of poverty in our City and how it affects every facet of our lives. This past week Toronto City Council pass the "Poverty Reduction Strategy". I encourage you to read it. We want a strong Toronto where no one is left behind. Our economy will prosper when our residents are prosperous.

Seven Oaks Community ------------------------------------ Transportation Services Traffic Study Westbound Left-Turn Priority Feature: Ellesmere Road at Neilson Road (PX901) Information Link Transportation Services has completed a review and concluded that a westbound left-turn priority feature is not justified at the subject intersection, at this time. Currently, the eastbound left-turn priority feature is callable by setback detector loop 6:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday to Sunday. The southbound left-turn priority feature is callable by setback detector loop 3:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., Monday to Friday. There are no left-turn priority features for westbound and northbound vehicles. To identify existing conditions, westbound left-turn queue and delay studies were conducted during the morning peak, off peak, and afternoon peak traffic periods. The results of the studies confirmed that during these traffic periods, no vehicles experienced any cycle delays when completing westbound left- turns. During our review, we noted that the eastbound through traffic movements are moderate and provided plenty of available gaps for the westbound left-turns. An intersection left-turn phase analysis was also undertaken to determine the need for a westbound left-turn priority feature. The results of the analysis indicate that a westbound left-turn priority feature is not justified during the morning peak, off peak, and afternoon peak periods. If you have any comments on this report please contact my office 416-396-7222.

  • 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment
    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment The purpose of Chapter 3 is to present an overview of the environment potentially affected by the SWP to create familiarity with issues to be addressed and the complexity of the environment likely to be affected by the Project. All aspects of the environment within the Project Study Area (see Figure 2- 1 in Chapter 2) relevant to the Project and its potential effects have been described in this chapter. The chapter is divided into three sections which capture different components of the environment: 1. Physical environment: describes the coastal and geotechnical processes acting on the Project Study Area; 2. Natural environment: describes terrestrial and aquatic habitat and species; and, 3. Socio-economic environment: describes existing and planned land use, land ownership, recreation, archaeology, cultural heritage, and Aboriginal interests. The description of the existing environment is based on the information from a number of studies, which have been referenced in the relevant sections. Additional field surveys were undertaken where appropriate. Where applicable, future environmental conditions are also discussed. For most components of the environment, existing conditions within the Project Area or Project Study Area are described. Where appropriate, conditions within the broader Regional Study Area are also described. 3.1 Physical Environment Structures and property within slopes, valleys and shorelines may be susceptible to damage from natural processes such as erosion, slope failures and dynamic beaches. These processes become natural hazards when people and property locate in areas where they normally occur (MNR, 2001). Therefore, understanding physical natural processes is vital to developing locally-appropriate Alternatives in order to meet Project Objectives.

  • Guild Park & Horticulture Plans
    SECTION 2 : plan context GUILD PARK & GARDENS horticulture plan | 2018 9 10 GUILD PARK & GARDENS horticulture plan | 2018 history The Guild Park and Gardens has a long and illustrious history, which began with the parceling of land tracts for distribution to Loyalists following the American Revolutionary War. One of the property’s earliest owners, William Ousterhout, while never having lived on the site, has come to be associated with the log cabin that bears his name. The Ousterhout Log Cabin has been dated back to approximately 1850 and persists to this day as one of four designated heritage buildings on the Park site. The property changed hands many times in the 19th and early 20th century. In 1914, owner General Bickford, created the Ranelagh Park View of Bickford House and an event tent, country estate on the site and built the Bickford House as a summer 2000 resort. The estate house formed the nucleus for the Guild Inn, which is now a designated cultural heritage building. In 1932 Rosa Hewetson purchased the over 450 acre property, where she married Spencer Clark. The same year, she and Spencer formed the Guild of All Arts. Inspired by the arts and crafts community at Roycroft, New York State, ‘The Guild of All Arts’ started as a social contribution in the depression years, providing a home and a forum for artists and artisans, where their work was created and collected for the enjoyment of many. There is still a significant public art collection on the site. The Guild of All Arts was active from 1932 until 1942 and, after the war, from 1947 until Spencer Clark’s death in the 1980s.

    March 2020 - Volume 20, Issue 109 Outreach - Value – Input Making Our Community Thrive Dear Scarborough-Guildwood Neighbours, I would like to thank everyone who attended my Community Town Hall Meeting at Cedarbrook Community Centre on Tuesday February 18th. Residents play a vital role in our community and I appreciate the time people out of their busy days to come and speak with me, and our neighbours. Topics discussed at this Town Hall included community safety, traffic concerns, community resources available to the neighbourhood. Staff from Toronto Police Services 43 Division distributed information such as the non- emergency number, how to report issues online, and utilizing Toronto Police Service's website portal to view statistics and events in every neighbourhood. The police called attention to utilizing the non-emergency number 416-808-2222 to report any out of the ordinary observations in your community as it assists if issues develop. Contacting the non-emergency line is important, I cannot stress enough that calling the line will bring more resources to Scarborough-Guildwood as the number of calls and data on the issue is used to determine where to place officers and resources. Toronto Police Services now has online services for everyone to use to report any incident online through its Citizen Online Report Entry (CORE) unit. Visit the Ward Wide Update section of this letter for more details. Toronto Public Health (TPH) is monitoring additional positive cases of COVID-19 in Toronto. TPH continues to work with their provincial and federal health colleagues. At this time the virus is not circulating locally, however given the global circumstances, TPH is actively working with City and health partners to plan for this potentially to take place.
