Trees are being cleared to ensure safety and maintenance of the area, which will temporarily disrupt on-street parking on Glen Road. Residents with a parking permit for Glen Road north of Howard Street will get a temporary one so they can park on Howard Street in zone 7H until they can return.
Residents have also asked my office about what will happen to the Glen Road Community Garden plaque. The plaque commemorates the local communities, non-profit organizations, and multicultural youth who came together to make the original garden here a reality. After reviewing its historical significance, which also includes public ecology education, I made a request to staff to preserve this original plaque.
Because of the construction, the project team had to remove the plaque, but they are seeking a suitable location for its reinstallation. A separate second plaque is currently being designed by Heritage Toronto for installation in the redesigned public space.
If you have questions about the tree removals or other work on Glen Road or the pedestrian bridge, please contact the Field Ambassador at 416-495-4254 or email them at: [email protected]
It has been a tremendously busy summer! Between Pride and FIFA on one end, the final Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council of the term later this month on the other, and the ongoing Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, my team and I have been working hard to continue delivering results. Despite the stress, despite the heat, and especially despite the province’s ongoing work to make the City of Toronto miserable, for this final proper Councillor Update of the term, I want to provide positive vibes only.
The celebration on Church Street continues! The Church Street Pedestrianization has officially launched, with the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) and my team installed patios and more seating on Church Street post-Pride to make it an even better place to visit. The pedestrianization lasts until August 21, so come on out and experience The Village like never before, enjoy the beautiful weather, and help me advocate for more pedestrianization across the City and to make this pilot permanent!
