  • A PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MESSAGE FROM TPS 53 DIVISION

    November 30, 2019 12:41 PM | David McMahon (Administrator)

    53 Division Communities,

    BE AWARE BE SAFE

    There has been much media about the increase of nearly daily pedestrian accidents within the City of Toronto.

    We, the Police, take traffic safety very seriously as one of our service priorities ! Efforts are made daily with traffic enforcement, educational initiatives, school lectures, along with Social Media to help improve this significant issue.

    Despite those efforts, people continue to dart out into traffic mid block ! This means they cross the street in random places without the use of a traffic light, or other controlled intersection ! Sadly, more & more of these people are getting struck by vehicles.

    There is no doubt that drivers have to slow down, drive more carefully & pay attention instead of driving distracted , which is a huge issue of its own, however despite who’s right or wrong between human & vehicle, the vehicle usually wins, resulting in serious bodily injury or worse.

    PLEASE help us get the message out there that in order to be safe, pedestrians MUST use a controlled crossing like a traffic light, stop sign, or crosswalk PLUS check to make sure the approaching drivers are aware of them BEFORE they cross the street !

    Be aware, be safe !

    Thank you

    Timothy Somers

  • AVENUE STATION CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Friday November 29, 2019

    November 30, 2019 12:38 PM | David McMahon (Administrator)

    AVENUE STATION CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

    Friday November 29, 2019

    Mining operations are ongoing at the Secondary Entrance and occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Read the construction notice for more detail.

    What Work is Taking Place?

    • Mining excavation is ongoing east of the Secondary Entrance between Oriole Parkway and Eastbourne Avenue. This sequence includes drilling roof supports, removal of earth and coating exposed surfaces with shotcrete. Excavation east of the Secondary Entrance is expected to be completed in July 2020.
    • Periodic overnight inner walls demolition is ongoing until December 2, 2019 at the Secondary Entrance. Some vibration and drilling may be heard.

    What Work is Coming Up?

    • Upcoming concrete pours between the Main and Secondary Entrances in December 2019. Pours will happen from within the closure on the south side shaft – traffic will not be impacted. See construction activities for details.
    • Upcoming ground testing work west-side north of Burnaby Blvd tentatively on December 6, 2019 – time to be confirmed – for approximately two hours. Lanes will remain open and a paid duty officer will be on site to direct traffic around the work zone.

    Mining Information


    General mining activities occur in a continuous sequence, including drilling roof supports, excavation under the roof supports, and spraying of concrete to finalize exposed areas underground. Within the excavation portion of the sequence, periodic removal of concrete sections of the existing tunnels is required as well as periodic chipping of temporary concrete linings. When possible, crews complete higher impact works during the day, however due to the sequence nature of the work and the engineering requirements related to ground stability and cavern integrity, sometimes noticeable activity occurs overnight.

    Noise & Vibration Mitigation


    Noise and vibration impacts to your building depend on your proximity to the source and how the vibrations travel through the soil and interact with the foundation and structure of your building. Crosslinx Transit Solutions has implemented several noise reductions measures on site to mitigate the impact felt by the community during mining activities. Enclosures are used to cover equipment like generators and pumps, silencers are used to reduce noise from fans, and delivery routes and times are selected to minimize disruption – just to name a few.

    If you experience disruption from mining activities, please call our 24/7 phone line at 416-782-8118.

  • Pilot Project Will Aim To Make Yonge-Eglinton Safer,

    November 17, 2019 10:07 AM | David McMahon (Administrator)

    Heavy construction trucks make up much of the traffic in the busy Yonge and Eglinton area. The city says Toronto is currently home to the most major construction projects of any major North American city.

    CITY HALL

    By Jennifer PagliaroCity Hall Bureau

    Fri., Nov. 15, 2019

    A construction co-ordinator will work to make the Yonge-Eglinton area safer and less congested, Mayor John Tory announced Friday.

    The one-year pilot will start Dec. 2 and involve a “hub co-ordinator” who a city news release said will “conduct logistical planning of the right-of-way, review construction management plans, connect travellers with real-time information, collaborate with enforcement officers and communicate impacts and changes to businesses and communities in the neighbourhood.”

    The pilot comes two months after Evangeline Lauroza, 54, was struck and killed by a cement truck that was turning right as she was crossing Erskine Ave. near the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue. She was remembered as a devout woman who played guitar at regular religious get-togethers.

    “Her death was a tragedy as is every death on our roads, but we got together in the immediate aftermath of that and promised to take action and today we’re taking the first step,” Tory told reporters. “The city is growing at a rapid pace. And while much of the construction that we are seeing right now will be buildings for people to living in and to work in or much needed transit infrastructure like the Eglinton Crosstown, this construction, the magnitude of this construction, does create real issues for people ... just living their lives in these communities.”

    Toronto is currently home to the most major construction projects of any major North American city, the city’s news release said, with 120 cranes at work.

    Staff said the pilot could lead to a permanent program that would see similar construction hubs set up in other busy parts of the city.

    According to the release, a similar program in Seattle in 2016 saved that city 200 days of construction and $15.5 million.

    Councillors Josh Matlow, Jaye Robinson and Mike Colle who represent the surrounding area hailed the pilot in a statement, saying they welcomed both safety efforts as well as the plan to help with congestion.

  • Eglinton Crosstown Update

    November 09, 2019 11:13 AM | David McMahon (Administrator)

    Fall Open Houses

    In October, five open houses were held along Eglinton Avenue to provide construction progress on the new Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) line. Approximately 400 people attended this round of Fall open houses. Feedback was positive and many people are looking forward to seeing the ongoing progress being made in their area.  

    Missed an open house? You can  check out the presentation materials on our website.

    Eglinton Crosstown’s Photos of the Day Series

    To keep you up-to-date on the progress of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT Project, the ‘Photo of the Day’ blog series features a glimpse into the work being done on the Crosstown! Progress photos are posted on Metrolinx News every week as part of this feature. The most recent story is about the ongoing rail installation along the Eglinton East corridor. Read the article on Metrolinx News.  

    Yonge and Eglinton Pedestrians Crosswalks are back!

    In case you missed it, all of the pedestrian crosswalks at the Yonge and Eglinton intersection have reopened! Crossing guards will continue to assist pedestrians in the area to cross the intersection safely. We want to thank everyone for their continued patience as we work to build this important project.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNITY ISSUES

As we all know our neighbourhood is subject to serious development pressure, and development issues have occupied much of the board’s time. Among these issues are:

Community Development Committee of Adjustment – Single Family Homes

The OPA keeps a close eye on applications for home renovations and tear- downs in our neighbourhood.

We receive details about applications from the Committee including a description of the proposed changes and the deadline for submitting to the committee. We forward information about homes in our area to a special email list. You can subscribe here: Oriole Park Association - Committee of Adjustment notices.

Metrolinx – Eglinton LRT

The OPA is involved in the ongoing process of the development of the new Light Rail Transit line in our area.

One major concern for the community is that Eglinton Avenue is to have restricted lanes westbound between Oriole Parkway and Braemar Avenue for the construction of the Avenue Road Station.

The proposals as detailed below will last until 2021.

The businesses on the north side will have very restricted access and visibility.

The second concern is that Metrolinx in their initial proposal wished to ‘clear cut’ the area on the south side of the North Toronto Community Center between the eastern driveway and the western boundary beside the ‘Art Barn’ building. The area is to be used for storage and construction vehicles

The OPA community involvement is:

  • We attend meetings on behalf of the membership and community as well as sit on a ‘working group’ Chaired by Councillor Cristin Carmichael-Greb (Ward 16) and as supported by our Councillor Josh Matlow ( Ward 22).
  • The working group is comprised of elected officials; Senior City of Toronto Staff including Metrolinx and Crosslinx staff. The local residents associations are represented by the Eglinton Avenue Road Community Association: the Eglinton Park Ratepayers Association as well as the OPA.
  • We will provide updates via our Twitter and Facebook Accounts as well our email subscribers as they come available.
