  • Midtown in Focus Parks and Public Realm Plan Part 3 of 3
    Attachment 2 - Part 3 of 3 CHAPTER 8 CITY OF TORONTO 2018 102 A CONNECTED AND VERSATILE NETWORK OF PUBLIC PARKS The parkland analysis and public feedback received have been synthesized with new park spaces previously identified as part of the 2014 Midtown in Focus: Parks, Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan to create a connected and versatile network of public parks for Midtown (Figure 11). The network capitalizes on the area’s existing park assets with an eye to expanding these parks and making better use of these spaces to support local needs. It also identifies a series of proposed public parks of all shapes and sizes throughout the area. In some instances, the identification of proposed parks is opportunistic to complement and further strengthen the Public Realm Moves or to recognize the transformative potential associated with the existing subway trench and Davisville Yard. In other instances, a practical approach has been taken to provide new park spaces capable of accommodating a range of locally-oriented passive and active activities throughout the area that will not only provide new park spaces, but also fill in missing gaps. Taken as a whole, the network of public parks that will be created responds to the challenges and opportunities facing Midtown both now and into the future. It has the potential to add at least 17 hectares of new parkland to Midtown’s existing 26.2 hectares of parkland. 103 Figure 11: Parks and Open Space Network Plan BLYTHWOOD ROAD Sherwood Park BRIAR HILL ROAD SHERWOOD AVE KEEWATIN AVE ROSELAWN AVE

  • Breathing New Life Into
    Breathing New Life into 2003 Don Watershed Report Card A Message to Those Who Cherish the Don If you brought this report card home to your parents, you would be sent to bed without dinner. Far too many Cs and Ds, not a single A, and — heaven forbid — an F, glaring from the page. But restoration is hardly a series of simple questions and answers that can easily be slotted into good or bad, right or wrong. It's much more than that. It takes a longer view. The grades are nowhere near good enough, true, but some very important groundwork has been laid in the past 10 years to ensure major strides from here on. First off, let's address that F. We know we can do better in caring for water, and now, we have a means to improve that grade through the recently completed Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan for the City of Toronto. Once it's put in place, water quality will improve substantially, not only in the Don River, but everything it feeds. The plan will take at least 25 years to implement; we still must include the munici- palities outside of Toronto into a broader watershed plan. Bold commitments by federal, provincial, and municipal governments must be made to ensure we have the resources required to really make this happen. There are quantifiable victories as well. Thanks to changes to five weirs, salmon and other fish now migrate more freely up the Don for the first time in a century. We have seen the completion of the first phase of the Don Valley Brick Works, and a number of other regeneration projects: Little German Mills Creek, The Bartley Smith Greenway, Milne Hollow, and the establishment of the Charles Sauriol Nature Reserve.

S. Walter Stewart Branch Area 1. Why is East York celebrating 200 years in 1996? In July of 1796, two brothers, Isaiah and Aaron Skinner were given permission to build a grist mill in the Don Valley, which they proceeded to do that winter. This began an industrial complex of paper mill, grist mill, brewery and distillery with later additions. In 1996, East York is celebrating 200 years of community.
