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.

Bloor Visioning Final Session: Questions and Comments
Council lor Perks Tel: 416-392-7919 100 Queen Street West, Suite A14 Fax: 416-392-0398 Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 E-mail: [email protected] Bloor Visioning Final Session: Questions and Comments Principles Presentation (Kevin Edwards, City Planning) Question: What is the status of the TTC letter that was sent in response to the 1540 Avenue Segment Study and application? Response: Councillor Gord Perks explained the concerns that the TTC has with respect to the access/egress issue location for the development. The TTC has reviewed the Avenue Segment study and believes that access to the TTC station will be blocked by traffic, and will create a bottleneck. Question: At what point in the process does urban design come in to play? Response: ( Kevin Edwards, City Planning) The Avenue Study establishes a framework , policy and implementation tools such as zoning amendments for height, stepbacks, etc. As part of the process, Streetscape design, modeling, and urban design guidelines will also be developed. Question: What is the timing of all of this? When will it go for Council approval? What are the target dates? Response: Wait for Corwin’s presentation on the Avenue Study which will go into details of this. Question: Will there be a foot connection between the GO station and the TTC? Response: Transportation Planning staff is not here today, but I believe GO and TTC are looking at options right now, however it unclear right now where ultimately the access points will be. Question: How do these visions affect developments that are currently proposed? Response: This is why the Visioning Sessions are happening.

Earlscourt Youth Centre Parking
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.

Toronto's Neighbourhoods
Toronto’s Neighbourhoods Toronto is an exciting urban centre made up of diverse and colourful neighbourhoods and regions, creating a rich mosaic of cultures and lifestyles. With more than 100 cultures celebrated in Greater Toronto, visitors can enjoy art, ideas and cuisine from around the world, all within easy reach of each other. From tantalizing world cuisine and oodles of shopping to areas teeming with history, Toronto’s neighbourhoods offer the kinds of experiences that unfold when diverse ideas, cultures and lifestyles mix, mingle and thrive. FINANCIAL DISTRICT AND UNDERGROUND CITY LOCATION: THE AREA FROM UNIVERSITY AVENUE TO YONGE STREET BETWEEN DUNDAS IN THE NORTH AND FRONT STREET IN THE SOUTH Soaring architectural marvels fill the horizon in Toronto’s Financial District. This bustling business core, centred on Bay and King Streets, is home to banks, corporate head offices, law firms, Toronto Stock Exchange and stockbrokerages and other big businesses. But under the glass, concrete and steel monoliths reaching skywards, a whole other city thrives below the surface and is known as Toronto’s Underground City. The PATH, or Toronto’s Underground City, is a subterranean shopping concourse that weaves its way for more than 27 kilometres (16 miles) beneath the financial core. With close to 1,200 retail shops, cafés and restaurants, the Underground City connects to 48 office towers, six hotels and five subway stations. Upon making it back to the surface, the architectural wonders of the Finance District deserve an up close and personal glimpse. The dozens of towering glass, concrete and steel monoliths are a must-see for architecture enthusiasts, as well as the many public statues and pieces of art dotting the districts sphere.
