This program, called Target 70 is aimed at getting more residents to maximize their recycling efforts, which in turn will help the city meet its goal of 70% diversion from landfills by 2010. The larger bins have a greater capacity than the blue boxes and come in a variety of sizes. It is important to the future of our waste disposal strategy to encourage more intensive recycling because landfill space is expensive and the city is running out of options as to where our garbage will go. In early February, residents in Ward 18 received a brochure and Blue Bin order card. Residents who did not respond by the deadline (February 22, 2008) will receive the large sized Blue Bin as a default. Residents who decide they need a different bin size than what they receive will also be entitled to one free bin exchange later this year after the initial deliveries have been completed. Blue Bin deliveries in our area began in late March 2008. As noted at the Blue Bin Open Houses and in the literature, there is no charge to residents for the new Blue Bins. For more information on the new Blue Bin program, residents can visit: www.toronto.ca/target70 or call 416-392-BINS (2467) to speak with a trained representative. The new blue bins will help the city achieve its 70% diversion goal, but more importantly, lead to a cleaner and greener Toronto. Alternate Side Parking Program Expands on April 1 st : On April 1 st , the alternate side parking program will be expanded to cover additional streets in Ward 18, as well as resuming on streets where it has already been established. Alternate side parking allows the City to ensure that the side where cars normally park is much cleaner. This program also improves the efficiency and effectiveness of our mechanical street sweeping operations, allowing the City to deliver this service at a lower cost to taxpayers. This program takes effect April 1 st and runs until Nov. 30 th . Watch for the new signs to avoid getting a ticket! Alternate side parking does not occur during the winter because it can lead to large snow banks building up on both sides of the street. To help make changeovers as convenient for residents as possible, Parking Enforcement’s policy is to not issue tickets between 9:00 pm and 9:00 am on changeover nights. Please try to change sides during these times. The City is asking for your cooperation to help make this program a success! For more information, please email [email protected] or call 416-392-7012. Complete list of streets being added to the Alternate Side Parking program on April 1 st : Two-week alternate side parking: • Bank Street • Bartlett Ave, from Dupont to Hallam • Florence Street • Gladstone Ave, from Bloor to Dufferin Park • Havelock St, from Bloor to College • Margueretta St, from College to Dundas • Moutray St, from Dufferin to Sheridan • Rusholme Drive • Salem Ave, from Dupont to Fernbank • Sheridan Ave, from College to Dundas • St. Annes Road • Westmoreland Ave, from Dupont to Hallam Thursday-changeover alternate side parking: • Bartlett Ave, from Hallam to Shanly • Gladstone Ave, from Lindsey to Dufferin Grove Park • Lisgar St, from Queen to Sudbury • Rusholme Park Crescent • Rusholme Rd, from Dundas to Heydon Park • Salem Ave, from Bloor to Southview • Westmoreland Ave, from Hallam to Shanly West Toronto Railpath Park Begins Construction this Spring: The City of Toronto has approved the construction of a railpath park trail which is approximately 2.1 kilometres long, running from the Cariboo Avenue in the north (Cariboo is one block north of Dupont) to Dundas Street in the south. The design consists of a lit, asphalt trail which winds through the site with concrete paved plazas at street intersections. Planting will consist of native tree species. Where possible, existing trees along the site will be protected and incorporated into the design. Native grasses and wildflower seeds from the site were collected in the fall of 2006 and will be replanted in 2009. Planting adjacent to the path and under the trees will consist of low grasses and wildflowers. This will maintain the 'wild' character of the existing site while providing habitat for birds, insects and small mammals. The low heights of new plants will provide open sight lines through the site for a safe andcomfortable experience for all trail users. The tender for the project has closed and by the end of April the contract will have been awarded to the winning bidder. Construction should start early in May, although the timing of construction north of Dupont Street is still to be sorted out. Negotiations with Go Transit are ongoing regarding coordinating access to these lands due to their ongoing rail grade separation project in the same area. Our work will start this spring regardless. Anticipated completion of the project is June 2009. The City also plans to construct a second phase of this trail, running from Dundas St. to King St, in future years. Negotiations with CN Rail are ongoing to purchase the land needed for phase two of the project, and provisions are being made for the trail in current planning processes, such as leaving space for the trail in the Dufferin Jog Tunnel project set to begin construction later this year. For more information about the West Toronto Railpath Park, please contact my office or visit www.railpath.ca . Dufferin Grove Park Wading Pool Renovation Postponed until Fall 2008: The City will be renovating the wading pool at Dufferin Grove Park this fall. Work is scheduled to start shortly after Labour Day, and the project should be completed by the beginning of winter, although there may be some work left to be completed in spring of 2009. This project was initiated last year as part of the Parks Department’s state-of-good-repair program and it is budgeted to cost approximately $200,000. The wading pool in Dufferin Grove is one of the oldest in the City and was identified in a 2005 wading pool audit as being one of the top priorities for repairs. The plumbing in particular needs to be completely replaced. The project was originally scheduled for construction in fall of 2007, but was delayed to allow for extensive public consultations on the design for the new pool that the community had requested. As a result of these consultations, the design for the pool has been greatly improved. Beyond replacing aging equipment, the project now also features several improvements to the wading pool area that the community requested, including a new drinking fountain, asphalt paths to improve accessibility, improved lighting, a natural stone seat wall, new benches, a footwashing station, improved drainage and additional tree planting. The City looked at beginning construction this spring, but decided it would be best to stick to the original plan of starting construction in the fall in order to ensure there are no disruptions to the busy summer season at the wading pool. City staff are in the process of issuing the tender for the project and will be awarding the contract shortly to the winning bidder. The tender includes strict tree protection measures the contractor will have to follow, including hiring an arborist who will be on site during the construction to ensure there is no damage to the existing trees. Development application: 1155 Queen Street West — Community Council Notice: On TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2008, Community Council will consider a proposal by the owner for a development at 1155 Queen Street West (currently the car wash.) The Toronto Planning Department is recommending approval of the proposal. A previous public meeting was held about this application on November 13, 2007, at the Parkdale Library. You are welcome to attend and make your views about this proposal known to Community Council and Councillor Adam Giambrone. If you wish to do so, you should register in advance by calling 416-392-6992 or emailing [email protected] . Deputations can also be made in writing. The proposal is for an 8-storey (26 metre) mixed use building with retail on the ground floor, non- residential space on the second floor, and 40 residential units above. Stepbacks from Queen Street at the 5th and 7th floors are proposed.

  • Fare Hike Called 'A Small Band-Aid on a Big Problem' Changes Will Bring in an Extra $50-Million, but Cover Less Than Half an Estimated Shortfall for 2010
    Fare hike called 'a small Band-Aid on a big problem' Changes will bring in an extra $50-million, but cover less than half an estimated shortfall for 2010 ANNA MEHLER PAPERNY TORONTO — From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009 The Toronto Transit Commission passed a slate of fare increases yesterday, while vowing to review a funding model so broken that staff say they may have to impose similar fare hikes for the next several years just to cover operating costs. The new fares, which come into effect Jan. 3, slap an extra 25 cents on the price of a single ride, now $2.75 for cash payment, and raise adult monthly Metropasses from $109 to $121. University and college students got a break, as the rate for monthly passes for seniors and high-school students, which will cost $99 when the changes come into effect, was extended to postsecondary students. The changes will bring in an extra $50-million for the TTC next year, but will cover less than half an estimated $106-million funding shortfall for 2010. The commission still doesn't know where the extra $56- million will come from, as the city struggles with a budget shortfall that could be as much as $500-million. Premier Dalton McGuinty said at a news conference yesterday that the province, which faces a $24.7-billion deficit, won't be bailing out Toronto's transit system. TTC Chairman Adam Giambrone said he's opposed to service cuts, but said they'll be looking for "efficiencies" in operations in an attempt to close the funding gap.

When the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear in March 2020, Canada, like many other nations, imposed strict “lockdown” measures on almost all sectors of society. Overnight, most Canadians became confined to their homes. Office buildings, malls, streets, public spaces and airports emptied. Only essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, were allowed to operate under strict “physical distancing” conditions. As our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) grew and lockdown measures persisted for several weeks and months, glaring inefficiencies in community design started to become unignorable. Our response to challenges that had previously been inadequately addressed - multimodal transportation, a high-quality public realm, age-friendly and accessible planning, for example - have now become essential precursors for the creation of a resilient post-pandemic world. Conversations on the future of cities have become commonplace in mainstream society, and some of the best and brightest minds in the planning profession have made valuable contributions to this discourse.
