    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.

Yonge Street is a major north-south arterial road. The City of Toronto has a vision for Yonge Street, from Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue, as one of its primary promenades – a vibrant urban environment that promotes walking, cycling and safe passage across the street. While the North York Centre has been transforming into a transit-oriented and dynamic mixed-use area, the implementation of the vision for the street has not been fully achieved with this evolution. Inconsistent features, including sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and medians, and the lack of dedicated cycling facilities reduce the appeal of the street as a place for urban activity and present transportation challenges. Despite the opportunity created by the two subway lines and other regional transit services, movement by all modes of transportation continues to be an issue. This environmental assessment study defined and evaluated opportunities to create an attractive multi-purpose promenade for North York Centre.
