We hope you have many opportunities to make great memories and enjoy the break. Happy Summer!

We could have 14,500 more residents in SERRA neighbourhoods Capacity Pressures Continue By Andy Gort, SERRA President We thought things would have gone quiet after the rush of development applications last year, with developers scrambling to have their applications grandfathered under the permissive Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) regime. The SERRA area is so popular that another 3 development applications have just been submitted; one at 2100 Yonge St (NW corner of Yonge and Manor) for a 11- storey mid-rise (next to Sammy’s garage), a second one at 276-290 Merton (close to Mt Pleasant) for a 16-storey building and a third at 96-131 Balliol for a 24-storey condominium. City Planning will review these three applications against the newly proposed (and tougher) Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan regulations and it now appears that developers are paying attention to at least some of the new planning regulations.However, we also still have 8 legacy applications in the Review Pipeline Also controversial is a proposed two tower development (34 and 25 storeys) on the NE corner of Davisville and Yonge. The ultimate design of that development is still in flux, which means that it could be a few years away before the start of construction. The development will also be located immediately next to the Davisville School. See the chart below for a complete listing of recently completed (since 2016), approved and “under review” developments with some telling statistics about how many units (about 8,500) and residents (approx. 14,500) will be joining the SERRA catchment. Infrastructure and Community Services The SERRA area is just one quadrant of the Y-E area and when you drive around and see all the construction, one wonders about the impact on our community services such as schools, on the Yonge subway Line (at rush hour) and on our physical infrastructure (e.g., water, sewage, electricity). Well, we think the cat is out of the bag .. there isn’t enough capacity! On school capacity, the TDSB has been communicating loud and clear for some time that they already are running out of school capacity, especially at the Eglinton Jr public school, and now, Hodgson Middle School (and that is after only 15% of the planned developments in our area have been completed). It also appears that more families with children are moving into existing buildings in our neighbourhood. If you are a frequent subway rider traveling to work downtown and there are also persistent rumours of pending capacity issues for our “pipes and wires”. Read more here ,,, So, what is being done? City Planning and the TDSB are considering on a selective basis the request of hold provisions on construction of new developments (even after having approved their application). In the meantime, the TDSB is looking to add a brand new primary school in the Eglinton area and at a minimum adding to (or partially replacing) Hodgson Middle School. The TDSB will shortly start constructing of a completely new and enlarged Davisville school with the nearby public Community Centre. City Engineering has identified the need for a potential $100M plus upgrade of our area physical infrastructure and the City transportation planners/TTC will shortly be asked to analyze how taxed our midtown transit rush hour capacity will become and what short and mid term transit solutions are available (no new subway will magically show up in the next 10 years to relieve our worsening rush hour congestion). ALL GOOD TOPICS TO QUERY THE COUNCILLOR AND SCHOOL TRUSTEE CANDIDATES ABOUT DURING THE FALL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS!!! Tall Homes and Infill Developments Construction Dust (Cough ... Cough!!) The City is currently looking into the problem of construction dust at residential infill development sites. SERRA was invited along with a number of other residents' associations (Leaside, Deer Park, Lytton Park) to participate in this study. The Federation of North Toronto Residents Associations (FoNTRA) provided our initial written response to the city's study team. If you would like a copy of our input and would like to add your thoughts to this study, please e-mail us at [email protected] Heritage Second Annual Davisville Village Jane's Walk Amy Isaac and Sharon Mourer organized a very successful Davisville Village Jane's Walk on Saturday May 5, 2018. Thanks to our Jane's Walk leaders, our community volunteers and to everyone who came out to learn about our neighbourhood. In case you missed the walk, we will be doing a repeat in conjunction with the North Toronto Historical Society on September 30th, 2018. We will confirm the details in September. Two groups of residents strolled through the neighbourhood to learn about and discover some well hidden historical homes and sites in Davisville Village East. Heritage Fun Facts - Where is Joseph Avenue? The western part of Millwood Road was original named Joseph Avenue after Joseph Davis as seen on the Goad map from 1913. The name of this portion of the street was changed to Millwood Road with the amalgamation of the Village of North Toronto with the City of Toronto. Green / Environment Grand Opening Celebration of the new Mona Piper Playground On Sunday, June 3rd, 2018 Councillor Josh Matlow invited the community to celebrate the grand opening of the Mona Piper Playground at the corner of Manor Rd. and Forman Ave., located beside Manor Road United Church. The new playground was named in honour of Mona Piper, who was the longest serving crossing guard in the City of Toronto, and someone who helped kids cross safely for 43 years near Maurice Cody School. Mona Piper made our neighbourhood safer for our kids, and did it in a way that fostered a greater sense of community and spirit. Mona truly made a difference and we are happy to be able celebrate her remarkable contributions to our community. Read about the grand opening in the South Bayview Bulldog. Mona's daughter Ann Piper shared a few words. View this short video of the dedication. Grand Opening of Manor Community Green Doubling the Fun on Manor Road Photo credit from Josh Matlow's Twitter Feed Councillor Josh Matlow worked with the neighbourhood to retain most of the Glebe Manor Bowling Club’s green space from development and consulted with the community to make this park a reality. On Wednesday, June 20th, 2018 Councillor Matlow invited the community celebrate with a game of Bocce Ball! SERRA is looking for volunteers to help set up a Bocce league for our local residents. Please contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in coordinating this activity or joining the league. Davisville Village Greenways / Connected Pathways Do you use some of the existing pathways in our neighbourhood to help you get to where you are going faster? We would like those frequently used pathways to be safer and more accessible so residents can have better, easier access for cycling, jogging and walking. At community consultations for the Midtown in Focus we identified where some of these pathways could be enhanced, and suggested that they be included in the planning blueprint for the Yonge and Eglinton area. Creating pathways between new developments will also help keep our neighbourhood walkable, liveable and enjoyable. TDSB Schools Update The following information is from Trustee Shelley Laskin's weekly newsletter. Subscribe to Trustee Laskin's newsletter. Many thanks to Trustee Laskin for her support and for continuing to advocate on behalf of our community. Hodgson Middle School On June 11, 2018 the TDSB held a community meeting to discuss the capacity and growth pressures in our local schools. The original plan for Hodgson Middle School was to construct a two-storey addition which would add 12 rooms. Due to increasing capacity pressures from the number of developments in the Yonge and Eglinton area, the TDSB was asked to look at other options in order to allow for even more capacity. During a consultation meeting in June the community was presented with three options and given the opportunity to provide feedback. The presentation and the meeting minutes are now available. Going forward, the TDSB will be submitting a business case to the ministry for a three-storey addition and hopes to have the construction project started in 2021. More information will be provided in the fall. Davisville Junior Public School & Spectrum Alternative School Starting in September, 2018, students from Davisville Junior Public School and Spectrum Alternative School will be relocated to 529 Vaughan Road (formerly Vaughan Road Academy) for two years during construction of the new school.

  • Communication from Maureen Kapral
    [email protected] 22 November 2020 Marilyn Toft, Secretariat Contact 12th floor, West Tower, City Hall 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 email: [email protected] City Council Meeting November 25, 2020 Agenda Item IE17:7 Clearing the Path Towards a Safe and Accessible Winter The Lytton Park Residents’ Organization strongly supports Councillors Matlow and Layton’s motion and recommendation that the City’s Transportation Services update sidewalk clearing standards for neighbourhoods to include Midtown, East York, and the downtown core. Clearing snow from bike lanes and cycle tracks should also be included. In our Midtown neighbourhood, many people walk to their destination, or walk to a TTC stop. This becomes treacherous in winter with many uncleared sidewalks. Seniors are hesitant to leave their home for fear of falling; people pushing baby carriages struggle to get through mounds of snow; cyclists are forced to veer into traffic when cycle lanes are left unplowed.
