Works of art beautify vacant spaces in Riverside JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

Beautify

Melissa Luk photo/MICHAEL NGUYEN

PATCH it UP Riverside artist Melissa Luk works on a panel that will appear on the window of a transitioning storefront. PATCH It UP panels by Anjuli Solanki appear in the window of a transitioning storefront at 768 Queen St. E.

Three colourful works of art depicting elements reflective of the Riverside community are brightening up the windows of empty storefronts near Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue.

“We think this (project) is a great way to keep the streetscape vibrant and interesting,” said Anjuli Solanki, director of marketing and public programs for the Riverside BIA, which spearheaded the initiative through a partnership with the help of the STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Spaces) Initiative, a community-based, nonprofit organization that since 2009 has been using art to connect people to public spaces.

Earlier this summer, the local business association was looking for ways to help support local retailers struggling during an intense period of road work that included a month-long closure of the QueenBroadview intersection.

Determined to find a way to

Queen streets.

She also came up with the design for the three new public art pieces, which are made of out plywood.

animate the local streetscape and draw shoppers/diners to the area, the Riverside BIA started working with STEPS, which is behind several large-scale public art projects including the world’s tallest mural at 200 Wellesley St. in St. James Town

as well as the PATCH Project, which aims to install permanent and temporary art in underused spaces, like construction sites or vacant storefronts.

Last month during the Riverside BIA’s ArtFEST, Beach artist Melissa

Luk alongside supporting artist Emanuel Ciobanica were retained to create a three-piece art installation aimed at beautifying empty storefronts in Riverside.

Luk painted a colourful mural last summer on a building at Grant and

“We wanted to give her creative freedom, but we also wanted something that connected with the neighbourhood,” said Solanki, who also works as STEPS’ program manager.

Two of the eight-by-four-foot pieces are currently on display in the former Little Peeps store at 768 Queen St. E., while the third panel is set to be installed in the space that previously housed PicNic Wine Bar at 747 Queen St. E. Solanki said the works are intended to be an asset the Riverside BIA can use in the future to beautify other empty storefronts or disused public spaces in the neighbourhood.

Scot Free performing at Scotiabank BuskerFest this weekend JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Seasoned variety artist, circus performer and clown Jeff Kearns is on double duty this weekend at the 15th annual Scotiabank BuskerFest.

Kearns, AKA Scot Free, will be performing his energetic solo show throughout the weekend.

An outrageous physical comedian, Scot Free is described as an entertainer-at-large wanted for inciting fun, premeditated gloomicide, suspicious silliness, unrelenting showmanship and destruction of public doldrums.

His interactive comedy stunt show spares no expense to deliver laughs and excitement.

“I’ll be juggling a chainsaw and fire and doing comedy,” he said during a recent interview.

Kearns, who also performs as Fesso the Clown, will also be taking to the aerial stage at Buskerfest as

one half of Jeff and Jen’s Acrobatic Variety Show, an exhilarating and hilarious show featuring a skillful mix of character comedy, exciting daredevil stunts, stunning aerial acrobatics antics, sharp improvised wit and audience interaction. This show will also feature East York resident Jen Georgopoulos.

Two days Jeff and Jen’s Acrobatic Variety Show will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday at Yonge and Gould streets.

Kearns is performing for the first time at Buskerfest’s new home in the Downtown Yonge neighbourhood.

“I’m really happy and excited to be performing for my hometown crowd. It’s always a treat to do the Toronto Buskerfest,” he said.

“I love staying home to perform.”

Kearns, who has lived in Leslieville near Jones Avenue and Dundas Street East for the last 10 years, is an award-winning street performer who has toured the globe with his comedy juggling show among other things.

Ten or so years ago, he settled in Toronto to help set up the Centre of Gravity Circus Studio at Gerrard Street East and Greenwood Avenue.

Kearns is also the co-founder/ co-producer/co-host and artistic director of the Centre’s popular 18-plus Lunacy Cabaret, Toronto’s biggest and longest running monthly circus cabaret show.

Married to Lindsay Stephens AKA Lu the Clown, he recently took on a new adventure: fatherhood. He’s currently in the process of moving to the Toronto Islands with his family.

This summer’s Buskerfest, the largest of its kind in North America, starts today and runs tomorrow from

noon to 11 p.m., Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. along Yonge Street from College to Queen streets as well as Yonge-Dundas Square, Trinity Square Park and Gould Street on the Ryerson Campus.

While Buskerfest is a free event, voluntary donations to Epilepsy Toronto, a non-profit organization that provides support to more than 40,000 Torontonians living with epilepsy, are always welcome.

New this year, is the Epilepsy Toronto Benefit Stage at YongeDundas Square. Performers on this stage will be donating the ‘hats’ from these performances to Epilepsy Toronto.

The festival’s schedule will be posted on Buskerfest’s facebook page or twitter at @BuskerFestTO Scot Free, aka Leslieville resident Jeff Krahn, brings his interactive comedy For details about the festival, includ- stunt show to Toronto BuskerFest, taking place downtown, today ing a schedule, visit www.torontobuskerfest.com through to Sunday, Aug. 24.

What are candidates saying about building a better Toronto?

Proudly serving the communities of The Beach • East End-Danforth Greenwood-Coxwell South Riverdale Woodbine Corridor Beach Hill

A

recent study by the University of Toronto says our city has a “major infrastructure funding shortfall” when it comes to financial support from other levels of government and its own property taxpayers.

We have said before that when it comes to projects such as transit expansion, roads and public housing, Toronto residents will get the city they are willing to pay for.

So far, based on the fourth-place finish we received from the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Survey this week, it seems Toronto residents have been getting an excellent return for their relatively low investment.

That’s especially true since Toronto property taxes are, on average, lower than those paid by residents of other Ontario cities, according to the U of T report, Is Toronto Fiscally Healthy? our view The report by the Institute for Municipal Finance and Decide what Governance at U of T’s Munk School of Global Affairs also said we are willing Toronto does not have a problem when it comes to spending of taxto pay for payers’ dollars.

“Toronto does not face a fiscal crisis by any means,” the report said.

Toronto’s challenge is bringing in more money to pay for needed infrastructure improvements.

In responding to the report, city manager Joe Pennachetti pointed out there is not a lot of room left for cost-cutting in the city, but “we don’t have all the revenues to ensure we can grow a city that we all want.”

Most concerning is the estimated $860-million repair backlog faced by Toronto Community Housing, Canada’s biggest landlord. The operation of public housing is fully funded in every province except Ontario.

Also, the city still must cover the operating costs of the TTC to the tune of $250 million, funding that used to come from the province.

As campaigning becomes more intense in this fall’s municipal election, candidates will be cherry-picking bits of the U of T report as either justification for their past actions or as a call for change. Both arguments will have some merit.

This campaign, listen to candidates who can speak about the challenges the city faces, what kind of city we want to build, what are we willing to pay for and who should be paying.

Time to let the Toronto Zoo make its own decisions The Toronto Zoo turned 40 on Friday, and the best present Toronto could give it is independence.

City councillors proved it didn’t have that by sending the zoo’s elephants to a sanctuary, over the objections of keepers and the zoo’s management board.

Loss of accreditation By the time the “ladies” arrived in California last October, after a tug-ofwar lasting years, the U.S. Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) had stripped the zoo of accreditation.

Those elephants may be happier at the sanctuary; they’re certainly warmer, but the zoo’s prospects are damaged when it’s needed more than ever to breed endangered animals and protect them in the wild, and to teach people how to stop extinctions.

That’s work supported by both sides in the elephant battle, but one side,

mike adler the city backed by most city councillors, made it harder for the zoo to reach its goals.

Glenn De Baeremaeker, a councillor on the zoo board, says AZA is a “morally bankrupt” institution the zoo shouldn’t rejoin.

That’s fine, until you consider animals the zoo has on loan to AZA zoos or is loaning from them, or conservation programs it works on with other AZA zoos.

The longer it’s stuck with lower status, the harder dealing with AZA zoos gets, and it can’t get accredited until council agrees that, while the city owns the animals, the zoo decides what’s done with them.

Council also rejected the zoo’s proposal in 2012 to run itself through an independent body, as it did between 1974 and 1978.

This time, the body would have “prominent

“

This city stepped up for a place to house fine art. Why wouldn’t Torontonians do the same for the zoo, and the world’s animals?

corporate, community and business leaders,” and no council control.

Independence De Baeremaeker calls this “a fiasco,” but Gloria Lindsay Luby, a councillor and zoo board vice chairperson, hopes a report on zoo governance is heard next year by a different council that will “leave the zoo matters up to the zoo.”

Lack of independence also hobbled the zoo’s fundraising.

Its renewal plan in 2009 – $250 million over 10 years – was abandoned.

Contrast that with the Art Gallery of Ontario’s

Transformation AGO funding drive; it met its $254-million goal five months early in 2008, then increased it to $276 million.

This city stepped up for a place to house fine art.

Why wouldn’t Torontonians do the same for the zoo, and the world’s animals? extinction Our zoo is part of that mounting public infrastructure deficit mentioned in a University of Toronto report last week – only this isn’t chunks falling off the Gardiner Expressway, it’s a $15-million animal hospital the zoo needs but can’t afford; it’s work to save animals from human-caused extinction.

It can’t happen unless the next city council unchains the zoo and trusts it to be on its own.

Background The City of Toronto completed the Waterfront Sanitary Master Servicing Study (Class EA) in October 2012 to ensure that the necessary sanitary sewer infrastructure is in place in the Study Area (see map) to service strong development growth along Toronto’s waterfront. In the summer of 2013, the City transferred implementation of part of the overall project to Waterfront Toronto.

Through the study, problems/opportunities were defined, alternatives identified and evaluated, and a preferred solution determined in consultation with a variety of City of Toronto divisions, regulatory agencies and the public. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011) with a Notice of Completion issued on October 25, 2012.

The Study The Waterfront Sanitary Master Servicing Study recommended a long-term sanitary servicing strategy for the central waterfront area including East Bayfront (EBF), West Don Lands (WDL), North Keating Area (NKA), Lower Don Lands (LDL) and the Port Lands.

For the WDL and NKA, the Class EA recommendations reflected the previously developed servicing studies for WDL and associated design for the Cherry Street reconstruction. This previous planning and design included a new and larger sanitary sewer along Cherry Street, from immediately north of the CN Rail railway corridor northward to the Low Level Interceptor at Eastern Avenue.

Proposed Modifications to the Study Since completion of the Class EA, development planning for the EBF and NKA precincts has advanced, and projected sewage flows have increased. As well, a number of constraints have become defined that affect design options, including: • Proposal to install stormwater forcemains along Lake Shore Boulevard from East Bayfront to the WDL stormwater facility (Cherry Street Storm Water Facility (“SWF”) and return stormwater flow to EBF for UV treatment.

• Updated estimate of the total sludge flow that will be discharged from the SWF to the Cherry Street sanitary sewer. This flow has been increased from a previous estimate of 32 L/s, to 64 L/s.

• Presence of reinforced concrete mat foundation structure under the railway bridge at Cherry Street which affects the feasibility of upsizing the existing 400-mm sanitary sewer through the existing underpass.

• Design/construction requirements related to protection of the Gardiner Expressway structure, particularly the need to protect existing “grade beams” located underneath some portions of Lake Shore Boulevard between Bonnycastle Street and Cherry Street.

Based on these constraints and the increased projected sewage flows, a new servicing solution was needed. Additional alternative solutions were identified and evaluated resulting in modifications to the recommended solution in the Study.

The recommended solution now comprises a new gravity sewer from East Bayfront via Queens Quay Boulevard and Small Street, through the North Keating Area along Lake Shore Boulevard, to a new pumping station that would be situated at the City-owned property at 480 Lake Shore Boulevard East, with a forcemain through the Cherry Street rail underpass northward to the newly constructed sanitary sewer on Cherry Street.

The Sanitary Sewer Servicing for North Keating Area and East Bayfront East of Lower Sherbourne Street - Preliminary Design Report by XCG Consultants Ltd. (June 25, 2013) provides specific information on the proposed modifications (including the evaluation of alternatives). The report is available on Waterfront Toronto’s website at www.waterfrontoronto.ca. Hardcopies are available for viewing at Waterfront Toronto and WSP Canada; locations and addresses below.

Community group hopes to set a good precedent with condo project >>>from page 1 In a recent interview, McMahon said she’s optimistic a solution can be found that is in “keeping with the neighbourhood.”

“The developer seems keen to work with the community,” she said, pointing to Rockport Group’s longstanding record of not going to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for its projects.

Regardless, McMahon said work needs to be done to make the project a suitable one for the community.

“I feel the building is too tall. I’ve told them that from the get go,” she said.

“It’s unfortunate it’s not the empty warehouse at Queen and Laing.”

Fletcher also spoke about the proposed condo being too high and large.

“I do not understand why this developer is really fixated on eight storeys,” she said.

Like her Ward 32 counterpart, Fletcher also wondered why a different site along Queen wasn’t considered for this type of development.

“There are several other sites, properties that don’t add anything (to the neighbourhood),” she said.

Success Starts Here!

Winberg said he’s hopeful the consultation process with the community can wrap up this fall and any changes to the project can go before Toronto council when it resumes in January.

Upcoming meetings

Rockport Group is looking to redevelop the property at 1327-1339 Queen St. E. at Laing Street.

Jack Winberg, president of Rockport Group, worked for several years as a lawyer representing developers taking their projects to the OMB and said as a developer he wants to do everything possible to avoid that route.

“One of the things it taught me is that effective community consultation ends up with a better product and you end up with the community supporting it,” he said.

Winberg said the working group

process will be a “two-stage process” where people will have the opportunity to share their views on the proposed development and where they will have the chance to exchange information and educate people about mid-rise buildings.

“I think we’re going to set the tone for the redevelopment of this neighbourhood,” he said, adding Rockport is open to modifying its plans so that all involved are satisfied with the project.

The next working group meeting is set for Tuesday, Sept. 9 and will discuss transportation and infrastructure issues, while the third meeting will look at concerns with the proposed built form.

The fourth and final meeting will be a chance for the developer to present changes that respond to the concerns raised by the community among other things.

Anyone interested in getting involved in the working group , which had its first meeting July 30, should contact senior planner Leontine Major at lmajor@toronto. ca or 416-397-4079.

The proposed Queen-Laing development has had such an impact on the community that the dormant East Toronto Community Coalition (ETCC), the same group that successfully stopped SmartCentres from building a big box development on Eastern Avenue, has been

revived.

Victoria Dinnick, who lives just steps away from the proposed condominium, serves as the coalition’s co-chair.

“It’s not to fight the development.

It’s more to improve the development,” she said of the group’s mandate.

“There’s lots of different opinions.

It needs to be rethought to tie it better into the neighbourhood.”

Dinnick said she wants the development to be an “amazing addition to the neighbourhood,” one that will set a great precedent for future developments in the area.

The ETCC, which started meeting again in early March after Rockport Group submitted a development application to the city’s Planning Department, has held various meetings with McMahon, Fletcher and the developer to express its members’ concerns.

Dinnick said getting the development right in Leslieville would set a great example for other neighbourhoods. “If it’s going to be precedent setting, it had better be a good precedent,” she said.

Make e-cigarettes part of public smoking ban: Board of Health MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Holding an e-cigarette, Rachel Steen asked Toronto’s Board of Health to reject “fear-mongering” about a product she said keeps her from smoking.

“Don’t take my life away. I need access,” Steen said at city hall on Monday, before the board decided to call on the province to add electronic cigarettes to its public smoking bans across Ontario.

“If I don’t have this, I will smoke.”

Later, Steen said the quit-or-die message doesn’t work for many smokers, and e-cigarettes let people keep their nicotine habit without killing them.

Toronto’s medical officer of health, however, said the full health effects of e-cigarettes – a battery-operated and still-evolving “nicotine-delivery system” – are unknown.

“This is a remarkably unregulated product that can be bought by children,” Dr. David McKeown told the board.

Vaping, as the vapour-producing use of e-cigarettes is called, doesn’t come under provincial laws on

smoking, and “could run the risk of re-normalizing smoking behaviour, particularly with youth,” he said.

McKeown said fruit and candy flavours sold for e-cigarettes appeal to youth, adding though the device is praised as an anti-smoking aid, it’s not approved as one by Health Canada.

Monday’s unanimous endorsement of having the province prohibit e-cigarette use wherever smoking is prohibited, ban sales to minors

and remove e-cigarette displays in stores will lead to a follow-up report in February.

If the province doesn’t act by then, the city should, McKeown said.

Steven Moreau, CEO and cofounder of e-cigarette maker e-Stream Canada, said treating his product the same as cigarettes is like comparing Pepsi to Labatt Blue.

Founded in 2011, the Ontariobased company has dozens of locations and more than 100 employees

in two provinces, said Moreau, who wouldn’t tell the board what e-Stream’s annual sales or revenues are.

He did say e-Stream had “witnessed” thousands of smokers switching to e-cigarettes, and others quitting the use of both.

“I can’t legally say this is a smoking cessation device, but people are using it for that,” said Moreau, who said his firm tries to sell only to smokers and never to minors.

Boris Giller, representing 180 Smoke, said it’s “ageist to assume adults don’t enjoy fruity flavours,” and argued there’s zero evidence to support the “fallacy” e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking.

Steen, who was vaping an apple pie flavour briefly in the committee room and then outside, said if such flavouring was banned, she’d go back to smoking, “because what’s the point?”

Lilian Riad-Allen of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health told the board vaping can be a trigger to resume smoking, and since about half its patients are smokers, CAMH included e-cigarette use in its smoking ban.

McKeown said none of the mea-

sures the board supported – including having the federal government regulate maximum nicotine dosages in e-cigarettes and have them sold in child-proof bottles – will stop their use by people who want to stop smoking.

Not playing by rules Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks said he believes in the principle of harm reduction when it comes to addictive substances, but the e-cigarette industry “doesn’t want to play by the rules.”

E-cigarettes are either a consumer product, like coffee, or they’re a drug, and the industry wants them classified as neither, said Perks, arguing the restrictions backed by the board are reasonable but don’t go far enough.

Scarborough-Rouge River Councillor Raymond Cho’s suggestion the province be asked to allow e-cigarettes sales only in licensed drug stores was left out of the board’s position, at least for now.

Public Notice – Route Update

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Iroquois Markham

Brockville Oshawa

Proposed Pipeline Route

Belleville

Port Hope Highway

Greater Napanee Kingston

N

Existing Natural Gas Pipeline Existing Compressor Station Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added)

TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Eastern Mainline Project.

The proposed project is needed to meet firm service commitments following the proposed transfer of a portion of the Canadian Mainline capacity to crude oil service from natural gas services as a part of the Energy East Project. The project is also required to meet growing market demand for new supplies of natural gas from the U.S. Northeast.

TransCanada is proposing to add new natural gas pipeline facilities to the existing Canadian Mainline system in Ontario. These new facilities would be added in sections between Markham and the Township of South Dundas, on the southern arm of the Eastern Triangle. The preliminary scope of the project included the construction of approximately 370 km of pipeline. TransCanada has now finalized contracts with commercial shippers and determined a refined scope in order to ensure the appropriate amount of capacity is constructed to meet TransCanada’s existing and new firm contractual commitments.

The proposed project scope now includes approximately 250 km of 36 inch pipeline with the addition of nine new 11 MW compressor units to be installed at five existing compressor stations.

and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas.

TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders. An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year.

During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline. We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations.

We welcome any questions or comments you may have.

TransCanada anticipates submitting our application to the National Energy Board in the third quarter of 2014. Engagement will be ongoing throughout the NEB review process and the construction and operation phases of the project.

Toronto cycling advocates – and city councillors who have been hit while cycling in traffic – are getting impatient for improvements that make commuting by bicycle safer.

City council asked for a number of possible “cycling safety initiatives” last fall, ranging from requests to the province to programs Toronto could develop on its own.

Councillors on the public works committee got an update Wednesday, Aug. 13, as city workers added plastic Flexi-posts to a separated bike lane on Adelaide Street, a measure to stop drivers drifting into the lane as they made turns.

T h e re s t o f t h e Adelaide and Richmond street bike tracks, as well as a section of Simcoe Street, will be getting the protective posts by September.

Jared Kolb, executive director of Cycle To ro n t o, t h a n k e d Denzil MinnanWong, the committee chair, for helping to make separated bike lanes on Sherbourne, Richmond, Adelaide streets and a few other city streets a reality.

But ultimately, Kolb said, the city needs a Toronto-wide network

of separated lanes “to really unlock the potential” of cycling.

About one per cent of residents feel comfortable riding in any situation, he said, while six or seven per cent will ride to work if painted lines for a bicycle lane give them the “appearance” of safety.

Another 62 per cent, however, will remain “interested, but concerned,” unwilling to ride anything beyond residential streets or park paths, Kolb argued, unless they can use separated lanes.

Commuters may not ride a bicycle to work downtown, but they may ride to the nearest GO or TTC station, he said.

The city considers a separated lane – a “bike track,” as opposed to a bike lane – to be anything keeping bicycles at least a half-metre from other vehicle traffic, such as the wide painted strips on Sherbourne south of Bloor.

Ward 32 BeachesEast York Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon praised the beauty of Sherbourne’s painted green buffer,

but said in a city with aggressive drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, physical separations are needed.

“Paint is not enough,” she told the committee. “Right now, I know tons of people that would bike, but they’re too afraid in this city.”

After recalling she was hit by a car while cycling, despite following all the rules, McMahon said prog ra m s a re needed that educate people on sharing the road.

Councillor Mike Layton said he loves a city initiative requiring warning stickers on taxicab doors, so more cyclists don’t “win the door prize” as he did two years ago when he rode into an open cab door.

The committee backed a motion from Layton proposing council ask Ontario’s transportation ministry to include a comprehensive section on vehicle-bicycle interaction in its driver’s manuals and to make bike safety part of the primary school curriculum.
