Gems of Etobicoke-Lakeshore 2017 Mayor Tory Visits the Village of Islington For advertising ISLINGTON information, please contact TIMES Toby Gardiner at [email protected] Volume 05 • Issue 02 • Summer 2017 Edition photo courtesy of BUILD TORONTO New Development Coming Soon – How Design Influences Community By Ken MacSporran, Architect Design affects our day to day lives in ways that we are immediately aware of and in ways that take more time to evolve. Just in the past month, two quite different public events focused upon design plans for the area around the Six Points Interchange at the west end of the Village of Islington Business Improvement Area (BIA). In April, a public presentation by the finalists in an architectural competition for a new Etobicoke Civic Centre was held; and in May, a Public Open House about the Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration was held. Both events were hosted by the City of Toronto for different reasons. The architectural competition for a new Etobicoke Civic Centre Design proposed at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Kipling Avenue included highly detailed proposals for designs that evolved over the course of several months, whereas the Public Open House about the construction process and new street design for the Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration has been over ten years in the making. However, these two recent community events are closely related in that they are both based upon the design decisions that will create a new urban street system resulting from the Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration plan.

The armature of the city - a system of streets and sidewalks I used to dread taking my kids with me whenever I had to run errands. - has a tremendous influence on life in and around a community.

Buckling kids in and out of their seats, taking out the stroller, making sure we over emphasized looking both ways before crossing the its most vital organs.” The best streets support all aspects of life in a community street or walking across a parking lot. We’re now 15 minutes into the errand – walking, biking, driving – and they provide vital connections to live, work and and we haven’t entered the store yet. play, both locally and beyond.

The current interchange design lasted 60 are not on the list. years or so; if the proposed design better meets the needs of the community, it will last more than 60 years. At first, my solution was to not take the kids with me when running errands. This was not always possible so my wife and I decided that we would give the kids an allowance of $5 a week, $20 a month. Our reasoning for this was quite simple. The 200 business and property owners in the BIA along Dundas West from Over the course of the month, we found that we would spend on average up Montgomery Road to Kipling, are excited about the possibilities that this to $30 on each child.

When they asked for us to buy them something, we would reply to provide information to the City as the changes from the development affect “use your allowance.” At first, they spent their money foolishly on candy and Pokémon cards but they soon realized that if they wanted that Lego set at Toys the local community.

The Kipling transit hub is approximately half way between the two largest employment zones in Canada downtown Toronto and the Pearson Airport zone. Significant upgrades at Kipling Station are planned to create new passenger pick up and drop-off areas, bus platforms for Mississauga Transit and some GO Transit buses. So, as we consider the opportunities that a new urban street infrastructure may create, beyond the usual concerns about traffic, it is clear that the sidewalks will accommodate pedestrians better than the bridges across Kipling Avenue ever did, and improved connections to a redeveloped Kipling transit hub will be welcomed by residents and businesses near the Station, including the Village of Islington BIA. The proposed design will influence community through the new sidewalk and street pattern, but we will have to wait to see what is planned for the individual blocks of land that are created by the new urban street system, effects on the existing area and how, ultimately, community influences design.

    RETHINKING TORONTO’S MIDDLE LANDSCAPE: SPACES OF PLANNING, CONTESTATION, AND NEGOTIATION ROBERT SCOTT FIEDLER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2017 © Robert Scott Fiedler, 2017 Abstract This dissertation weaves together an examination of the concept and meanings of suburb and suburban, historical geographies of suburbs and suburbanization, and a detailed focus on Scarborough as a suburban space within Toronto in order to better understand postwar suburbanization and suburban change as it played out in a specific metropolitan context and locale. With Canada and the United States now thought to be suburban nations, critical suburban histories and studies of suburban problems are an important contribution to urbanistic discourse and human geographical scholarship. Though suburbanization is a global phenomenon and suburbs have a much longer history, the vast scale and explosive pace of suburban development after the Second World War has a powerful influence on how “suburb” and “suburban” are represented and understood. One powerful socio-spatial imaginary is evident in discourses on planning and politics in Toronto: the city-suburb or urban-suburban divide. An important contribution of this dissertation is to trace out how the city-suburban divide and meanings attached to “city” and “suburb” have been integral to the planning and politics that have shaped and continue to shape Scarborough and Toronto. The research employs an investigative approach influenced by Michel Foucault’s critical and effective histories and Bent Flyvbjerg’s methodological guidelines for phronetic social science.

  • 5 Important Reasons to Join BVA!
    Membership 5 Important Reasons to join BVA! Over the years, many of the resident members of the Bayview Village Association (“BVA”) have shared stories with the Association leadership about how they bought their first home in spring 2014. They had saved long and hard to move into an “established” neighbourhood with great schools and ample parkland with vast ravines to walk their pets. You would be amazed at how much research buyers and new entrants into our neighbourhood do beforehand — checking out crime watch and open blogs, drove by at different times of the day and, of course, chatted with the neighbours. Our newer residents state that, most often, the neighbours really sealed the deal for them. “We were moving into a neighbourhood with a highly active and energized neighbourhood association. We signed the last piece of paperwork and immediately jumped into all things neighbourly, and that included joining our neighbourhood association”. If you think these associations aren’t for you, or you are unsure on how you can contribute to your own neighbourhood, I urge you to think about the following: 1. Good Neighbours Equal Good Neighbourhoods When you gather a group of people interested in bettering their neighbourhood, I am pretty confident good things will come your way. While most neighbours are interested in preventing crime, some are interested in clean public parks and open areas or more street lighting. All of these personal agendas make for a diverse to-do list. When it becomes personal, the vested interest grows stronger within the group. “The neighbourhood BVA is that ‘just right’ level of engagement — large enough to take me outside of my individual concerns but small enough to really get to know people and tackle issues head on,” says a current Bayview Village owner/resident.

Right across Toronto we see art all around us; as we turn down a street or round a corner we might encounter a surprising sculpture of a moose or a building-sized mural. These conjure up a feeling of wonder. Art has always been a way of life for some, or may be under appreciated by others. Either way, we are surrounded and influenced by it whether we realize it or not. There is no doubt that art can beautify an environment. But in these times of fiscal constraint, communities need to secure funds to revitalize public spaces to promote happiness, well-being and a positive environment. Research conducted by the City of Toronto showed that every dollar that is invested in the arts returns approximately $18 to the City’s GDP. The City of Toronto Council in a unanimous vote in January 2013, voted to increase investment of $6 million into arts and culture over the next four years.

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime. It will also provide basic information about the different landscape, the location of the sites within the City, colourful pic- tures and maps so that readers can gain a solid understanding of the area. In addition to educating readers about the cultural landscapes that have helped shape the City of Toronto, this guide will encourage residents and visitors of the City to travel to and experience these unique locations. The What’s Out There guide for Toronto also serves as a reminder of the im- portance of the protection, enhancement and conservation of these cultural landscapes so that we can preserve the City’s rich history and diversity and enjoy these landscapes for decades to come.
