Cesar Palacio City Councillor – Ward 17 • Davenport September 9, 2013 Ms. Rosemary Mackenzie Administrator Etobicoke York Community Council Etobicoke Civic Centre 399 The West Mall, Main Floor Toronto, Ontario M9C 2Y2 Dear Ms. Mackenzie: RE: PARKING LOT ADJACENT TO THE EARLSCOURT YOUTH CENTRE (1200 LANSDOWNE AVENUE) Earlscourt Park is a well-used public space that attracts countless of people each year. It is home to many amenities, which includes a dog off leash park, a new state of the art soccer field, beach volleyball courts, and an indoor gymnasium. Furthermore, the Parks and Recreation programs which are offered at the JJP Recreation Centre, located at 1369 St. Clair Avenue West, are at full capacity and continuingly attract numerous people to the area. In addition, the enrollment at the Earlscourt Youth Centre, located at 1200 Lansdowne Avenue, is continually on the rise and is expected to grow in the future to come. Given the growth and development of this public space, parking and accessibility have become serious issues in the community, as park patrons currently have a great deal of difficulty in finding any suitable parking on Lansdowne Avenue or neighbouring side streets. Presently, the Earlscourt Park wooden stairs at the southwest corner of Davenport Road and Caledonia Road and mid- block on Davenport Road are not accessible to park users, due to its state of disrepair. A new accessible ramp and stairs are scheduled for construction early next year. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the small parking lot adjacent to the Earlscourt Youth Centre located at 1200 Lansdowne Avenue be made available to dog off-leash users, until the accessible ramp / stairs are built and accessible to park users.

Guard Rail – Lansdowne Avenue
----------rrJillTORDNTD- May 19th, 2021 Toronto and East York Community Council Toronto City Hall 100 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Dear Chair and Members, RE: New Business Item – Guard Rail – Lansdowne Avenue BACKGROUND: Residents in the Earlscourt neighbourhood have contacted my office with concerns about vehicles travelling at high and unsafe speeds along Lansdowne Avenue, especially where there is a bend in the road. This corner is located near the entrance of Earlscourt Park. Following a motorist losing control of their vehicle and crashing into fencing in the park, a guard rail was installed at this corner, on the inside of the sidewalk, to deflect and slow down errant vehicles from leaving the roadway. However, the placement of the guard rail does not protect the outside sidewalk and leaves pedestrians exposed. I reached out to Traffic Operations and asked them for guidance on these issues and to make recommendations to address them. As a result, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending that we move to report back on and investigate the feasibility of their request to have an outside guard rail installed as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate the feasibility and impact of relocating the existing guard rail system on Lansdowne Avenue, located approximately 100 metres to 140 metres north of Davenport Road, from between the Tennis Courts and the sidewalk to between the sidewalk and the road. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Ana Bailão Deputy Mayor Councillor, Ward 9 – Davenport IJ anabailaoTO W'@anabailaoTO @ anabailao.ca COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY Toronto City Hall: 100 Queen St.

Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

Toronto Tunnels Plan
TORONTO TUNNELS PLAN 1 Toronto Tunnels Plan After reviewing traffic counts and traffic patterns throughout the City of Toronto using the latest traffic counts from the City’s transportation department, it clearly shows that the west end of the city has higher traffic levels and is prone to gridlock more than the east end. For example, traffic volumes on Highway 401 at Keele Street reach a peak of approximately 400,000 vehicles per day while volumes on Highway 401 in Scarborough is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. Similarly, traffic volumes on the Gardiner Expressway at Dunn Avenue is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day while volume at Cherry Street at the expressway’s east end is approximately 85,000 vehicles per day. Also, there is a lack of a continuous north-south expressway between Highway 401 and the Gardiner Expressway between Highway 427 and the Don Valley Parkway, which is a width of nearly 20 kilometres. The only exception is the incomplete Allen Expressway which terminates at Eglinton Avenue. This area is served by a 2 network of local streets which are very narrow and often congested. Similarly, Highway 400 turns into Black Creek Drive south of Highway 401, which is a heavily congested arterial road which connects into very narrow local streets south of Eglinton Avenue. The area bounded by Highway 401 in the north, Highway 427 in the west, the Don Valley Parkway in the east and the Gardiner Expressway in the south is entirely made up of narrow four-lane local streets which are heavily congested and serving local businesses.
