Leaside is a thriving midtown suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated just to the west and north of the Don River. Leaside’s distinctive cultural heritage landscape evolved from the overlaying of the following: the natural and pre-settlement landscape, the agricultural settlement landscape, the mod- el town designed in 1912 by Frederick Todd, the ensuing residential develop- ment of the late 1920s to the 1950s, and its contemporary development Pre-settlement Landscape The Leaside area was affected by a series of ancient Ice Ages, which covered cover: Aerial orthographic photo of Leaside, 1942 above: Courtyard, Garden Court Apartments the land with a succession of glaciers and large lakes.

    IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, C. 15, (Schedule B); AND IN THE MATTER OF an Application by Canadian Distributed Antenna Systems Coalition for certain orders under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL STARKEY ON BEHALF OF TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM LIMITED (“THESL” or “Toronto Hydro”) ATTACHMENT MTS-04 ATTACHMENT MTS-04 Attachment MTS-04 Listing of Cellular/PCS/AWS Station Sites Within 25 Kms. of the Center of Toronto MTS-04 is intended to identify the physical locations (i.e., station sites) of all antennas licensed for radio-transmission within the cellular/PCS/AWS frequency bands that are within 25 kilometers of the center of Toronto. Attachment MTS-04 was developed as follows. Step 1: The Attachment MTS-03 dataset served as staring point. Because that dataset includes antenna arrays that may be operated by different carriers at the same station site, it was necessary to eliminate multiple records for the same station site. The first step in that process involved concatenating the latitude and longitude fields into a single number and sorting on this new field. A simple @IF formula (i.e., if lat-long field of current record = lat-long field of previous record, flag as a duplicate) was then applied to compare successive records’ concatenated latitude-longitude fields and remove all duplicates (which represent multiple antenna arrays collocated at the same station site), so that only a single unique record remained for each location (latitude/longitude). Step 2: However, we also encountered numerous instances in which the various wireless operators had entered non-identical latitude-longitude and/or street address information on the records they supplied to the ALS database for what were clearly intended to represent the same station locations.

  • Bayview Avenue Extension Project
    Bayview Avenue Extension Project Submission to:: Transportation Association of Canada for the Environmental Achievement Award 2002 Abstract The Bayview Avenue Extension project is a deserving candidate for the 2002 Environmental Achievement Award for its innovative design used to minimize environmental impacts, at the same time, improving environmental features and enhancing knowledge of locally significant ecosystem elements, in particular a nationally threatened amphibian species. The project features these innovative environmental achievements: Environmentally Responsible Road Alignment successfully mitigated impacts to the nearby Jefferson Forest, Lake Wilcox, Forester March and adjacent wetland areas. Wetland Habitat Creation Project led to the development of diverse habitat zones for a variety of animal and plant species. Amphibian Roadway Crossings were specifically designed to protect and enhance the amphibian population, in particular the Jefferson Salamander, while adding to research and knowledge base of a rare, nationally threatened species. Jefferson Ravine Bridge Crossing provides unimpeded passage for large and small mammals, including white-tailed deer, reptiles and amphibians, working with existing topography to achieve a unique crossing feature. Extensive Vegetation and Landscaping Enhancements screen nearby sensitive areas from roadway intrusions and provided intensified buffering to disturbed areas. Detailed Environmental Analysis was completed to ensure complete compliance with environmental legislation for the Oak Ridges Moraine. Project Details - Bayview Avenue Extension • Four-kilometre, two-lane rural arterial road • Grading constructed for an ultimate four-lane facility • Located within the Town of Richmond Hill and is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine • Total gross expenditures for the project approximately $ 16 million • Fully funded and maintained by the Regional Municipality of York.
