  • TO360 City-Wide District Naming Web Consultation Report
    Toronto 360 Wayfinding Strategy TO360 Citywide District Naming Web Consultation Final Report March 2019 1. Background About TO360 The Toronto 360 (TO360) Wayfinding Strategy is an effort to help people find their way by making streets, neighbourhoods, and the city more legible. Following the successful completion of a pilot project in the Financial District in 2015, the City of Toronto began a five-year rollout in select parts of Toronto. This rollout is focused on developing a mapping database that will support the future production of wayfinding maps. The project is led by the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services Division working with consultants Steer, T-Kartor, and Swerhun Inc. In Year One of the project (Fall 2017 – Spring 2018), the TO360 team developed a map database for the area bounded roughly by Lake Ontario, Royal York Rd, St. Clair Ave, and Warden Ave. Now in Year Two (Fall 2018 – Spring 2019), the team is further developing the database for additional areas, including: Yonge St from Steeles Ave to Merton St, between Avenue Rd and just east of Bayview Ave; Eglinton Ave from Dufferin St to Cleveland St, between Glencairn Ave and Merton St; and the areas around Scarborough Civic Centre, bounded by Sheppard Ave E, Midland Ave, St. Andrews Ave, and Markham Rd. The TO360 team delivered the first of two rounds of consultation for Year Two in November 2018. Round One consisted of four Local Stakeholder Mapping Workshops within the Year Two mapping area. At these workshops, the team sought feedback from representatives of local Residents’ Associations, Business Improvement Areas, “Friends of” parks groups, and local pedestrian advocacy groups on District Names, walking routes and barriers, active areas, places of interest, and landmarks.

    Councillor Case Ootes Ward 29, Toronto-Danforth City of Toronto 100 Queen Street West, Suite C45 Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Phone: 416-392-4032 Email: [email protected] July 7, 2006 Dear Ward 29 Resident, Re: Community Safety Meeting - July 6, 2006 On July 6, 2006 I hosted a community safety meeting in Ward 29. In the latter part of June, two separate shooting incidents occurred in the Pape Avenue and Cosburn Avenue area. I advertised the meeting to the community by way of 4,000 flyers delivered to area homes, a full-age advertisement in the June 30th edition of the East York Mirror, an e-bulletin to people who are on my office mailing list, flyers were posted at the East York Community Centre, and an electronic sign displayed the meeting information at Dieppe Park. The meeting was well attended, and special guests included Inspector Tom Fitzgerald and Staff Sergeant Barry Legear, from Toronto Police Service, 54 Division. Approximately one hundred and fifty people attended the meeting, including many community leaders and organization representatives: • Faiza Ansari, Greektown on the Danforth Business Improvement Area • Susette Clunis, Touchstone Youth Centre • Angela Kennedy, Trustee, Toronto Catholic District School Board • Dennis Merotto, Pape Neighbourhood Association • Dan Shibata and Pauline Adams, East York Strategy • Rita Smith, Pape Village Business Improvement Area • Jennifer Story, on behalf of Jack Layton, M.P. Toronto Danforth • Peter Tabuns, M.P.P. Toronto Danforth Meeting attendees spoke about a variety of issues. Many people expressed the desire to become more involved with our community. I, along with the police, strongly encourage this, as a means to forming relationships with neighbours, and each of us doing our part to become a neighbourhood participant and ambassador, rather than mere observers.
