ABOUT US

Information, funding needed for rail safety Rail carriers are working under a shroud of secrecy, putting Ontarians at risk every day.

Information regarding what hazardous materials are shipped through our communities remains elusive. At any given moment, emergency responders and local governments have no idea what, exactly, is being transported through municipalities across the province. Yet they are the ones tasked with keeping the populace safe in the event of a disaster.

The continued secrecy is putting the public at unnecessary risk and it is not a theoretical risk. The danger is very real.

In 2015, 144 rail-related accidents occurred involving dangerous goods in Canada. The five-year-average is 140.

One need only look to the disaster at Lac-Megantic to see how very real and devastating such disasters can be. When the unattended freight train derailed, it left 47 people dead and half of the community’s downtown destroyed.

That train had previously passed through the densely populated GTA. The disaster prompted renewed calls from municipalities and the province for increased transparency on the shipment of dangerous goods.

There have since been improvements to informationsharing, but has it gone far enough?

Emergency responders in municipalities have access to historic data of what has come through their community.

From that they can undertake disaster planning.

The burden - and cost - of preparing for these potential disasters falls squarely on the shoulders of municipalities.

Not only must our towns and cities prepare without knowing when, how often and what materials companies are transporting, they must also find a way to pay for managing the dangers these private rail carriers pose.

For security reasons, real-time information is not available. And what information is shared with select municipal officials is not intended to be shared with the public. No one wants to tip off a potential terrorist about the exact location of specific chemicals. And the rail carriers don’t want to panic the public.

Not only are emergency responders faced with a lack of information, the public remains largely in the dark about what dangerous goods are rolling through their communities.

This culture of secrecy does not allow residents to make informed decisions or adequately prepare for possible disaster scenarios.

More information is needed. The public needs to have general data regarding what is regularly transported through their backyards. Municipalities need more up-to-date information about what dangers their first responders might have to battle. And those first responders need adequate funding to defend against the worst case scenarios.

Rail lines are an important part of this country’s economy, but the dangers they pose need to be better managed. It shouldn’t take another Lac-Megantic to bring about these much-needed reforms.

Thorncliffe Park, a place of unsolvable problems What’s happening in Thorncliffe Park is what’s happening in Toronto’s other highrise neighbourhoods, only more so.

Its problems can’t be solved, only patched.

The elevators grind, fail, sit waiting for repair. Bugs crawl. Kitchen cabinets fall apart.

Thorncliffe’s aging: 43 apartment buildings in a horseshoe of land on the Don River. They were built long ago, like St. James Town, Flemingdon Park, and Scarborough’s Markham Road highrises, when Toronto apartment towers rose at the rate condos are popping up today.

Thorncliffe’s overcrowded: grandparents and cousins are shoehorned in. Families rent rooms in other people’s apartments. Designed for 12,000 residents, the neighbourhood has 30,000, possibly

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto 45,000.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, the area’s MPP, pronounced the overcrowding unsolvable, except through "community conversation," last week when Thorncliffe tenants and landlords met.

"We don’t even know exactly how many people are in these communities," she said.

So much of Toronto lives like this, and will continue because, while the gap be-

tween renters and home ownership widens, few apartment towers are built.

Daryl Chong of the Greater Toronto Apartment Association told Thorncliffe tenants most of them are in Thorncliffe "because we haven’t built any new (apartment) buildings in 40 years."

"If you had more choice, you would vote with your feet."

Apartments pay three times the property taxes houses do, Chong and political representatives added, so people in the city’s poorest areas are subsidizing Rosedale.

"One of the reasons it’s a long road (to changing that) is that homeowners vote," said Jon Burnside, Thorncliffe’s councillor.

Landlords want property tax breaks, or big cuts in development charges before they build apartments.

Tenants who live in Thorncliffe, or anywhere there are roaches or the hot water cuts out when people are showering, can mostly look forward to more of the same.

But they’re tired of landlords being awarded rent hikes above inflation while renters get no raises at work, work orders that see months go by without results, and a tenant board seemingly weighted toward landlords.

If they’re lucky, they’ll get tougher city enforcement – thanks to a new landlord bylaw – and rebuilt elevators that beep angrily when overcrowded, until enough people step off.

Edges of Toronto is a column about how people see life in Toronto differently, depending on where they live.

Complaints include mice, bedbugs, lack of repairs JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Fed up with substandard living conditions, residents in Thorncliffe Park are hoping the city and province will come to their aid and force action from landlords who they say are not dealing with issues in the crowded highrise rental buildings there.

Residents have complained about a plethora of issues, from mice, cockroaches and bedbugs to out of service elevators and repairs that go unresolved for months - if they are ever resolved at all.

"You put in the work order and sometimes it takes six months, eight months, sometimes they just don’t do (the work,)" said Abbas Kolia, president of the Thorncliffe Park Tenants Associa-

tion.

Kolia spoke of some residents who moved in only to be beset immediately by bedbugs.

"Management won’t do anything, and these people need (relief)," he said. "Every day, it was the same thing, the same problems.

After two and a half months, they left the apartment and now it’s rented out again."

Another issue is overcrowding. While official government data suggests there are 10,000 to 12,000 people living there, Kolia said the actual number is more likely 40,000 to 50,000. That becomes a problem, particularly when elevators are down, as they often are.

Even when matters are dealt with, the tenants often wind up taking a hit.

"They changed some elevators (to newer models) and now they charge higher rent," Kolia said. "They changed the water heaters and there’s insufficient hot water."

Making matters worse,

Residents at Thorncliffe Park are dealing with mice problems by using mousetraps throughout their household. many tenants are afraid to speak out. Most in the community are new Canadians who fear reprisal or eviction if they make waves. Kolia

spoke of one resident who was threatened with eviction after withholding rent when required maintenance on his unit was neglected.

"He has a right to hold the rent because they didn’t do the maintenance," he said.

"And if you promise to do maintenance, don’t wait nine months."

A meeting between tenants, stakeholders, Premier and local MPP Kathleen Wynne and local councillor Jon Burnside gave some cause for hope, with Wynne noting the province is reviewing the Residential Tenancies Act and promising to keep in touch.

"There are always emotional issues associated with this conversation," she acknowledged. "There are frustrations on both sides of the table.

"When we don’t give people information, frustration builds up."

Daryl Chong of the Greater Toronto Apartments Association said the apartment industry is overregulated and overtaxed. He said landlords fix what they can and noted that keeping up with maintenance demands is an ongoing problem.

Of Thorncliffe’s buildings, he said "when they were built in the ’60s they were five-star buildings."

Burnside, meanwhile, said the time it takes to fix elevators when they are down is "unacceptable" and urged tenants to get more involved in fighting above-board rent increases.

Kolia hopes that meeting is but a first step in improving living conditions for the thousands who are living in pest-ridden apartments in need of repair.

"I hope (Wynne) can do something for us," he said.

"She said she wants to keep working with the landlords and tenants, so we’ll see."

3 quick storage area upgrades Skating season is well underway, but the gear is buried somewhere in the garage. And while the forecast continues to call for freezing temperatures, the extra winter layers are still hidden in one of the bins in the closet.

It’s time to take control and get organized with help from design expert Kimberley Seldon. Working with the Electrical Safety Authority, she offers these tips for creating smart, functional and well-lit storage in the basement.

1. In the zone. Map out storage zones to ensure items are where you would expect them to be. From winter wear to camping gear and books to toys, built-ins and storage benches work well to eliminate visual clutter without taking up too much floor space.

Consider adding shelves at different heights for varied accessibility and use nooks and crannies — think about the space under the stairs or building storage units between rooms.

2. Lighten up. Good lighting is often forgotten when storage spaces are planned. But seeing is believing! A licensed elec-

trical contractor can provide ideas on automated options for closet lights and suggest the best lightbulbs to use.

Motion sensors are another popular choice. Just remember that it’s important to know the rules around the safe distance between ceiling lights and storage items to prevent anything from catching fire.

For example, pot lights must be 150 millimetres away from any stored items or cabinets; while other ceiling lights must be 300 millimetres away.

3. Hidden electrical. Give de-

vices, laptops and gadgets a designated space by adding charging stations and strategically located outlets. And while we would all like to tuck away the electrical panel, keep in mind that it can’t be located in a closet or bathroom and that the working space in front of it can’t be obstructed.

A Licensed Electrical Contractor and interior designer will help to design an organized and safe space for your family.

CROSSING COXWELL: Pedestrian safety causing concern Transportation Services to conduct a review of the area

thing makes me want to leave. It’s frightening," she said.

Late last year, Sheremata contacted her local councillor, Paula Fletcher to discuss her concerns.

On Thursday, Jan. 19, a staff member from Fletcher’s office and an engineer from Transportation Services attended a walkabout along that stretch of Coxwell Avenue, which is flanked by several schools and daycare centres.

Neighbouring Coun.

Mary-Margaret McMahon, who couldn’t make it to the walkabout, said pedestrian safety is a top priority and she’ll work with Fletcher to address concerns on Coxwell Avenue.

"I’m happy to support any road safety issues, especially kids walking to school," she said.

On Monday, Fletcher penned a letter to Dave Twaddle, the city’s Director of Transportation for Toronto and East York.

In the note, she pointed to

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Megan Sheremata feels it’s just a matter of time before someone is killed while trying to cross Coxwell Avenue between Upper Gerrard Street East and The Danforth.

Sheremata didn’t realize this stretch was so dangerous until she started walking her three-year-old son, Hugo, to Le Chaperon Rouge daycare just south of the CN Rail bridge. Cars regularly speed up and down the busy thoroughfare. The two pedestrian crossings on the route are often ignored. And sight lines are terrible, she said.

Megan Sheremata walks with her son Hugo Cooper, 3, along Coxwell Avenue.

Parents have concerns about traffic safety when walking their children to and from school. some of the solutions discussed during the recent walkabout: lowering the height of the lights at the Coxwell/Rail Bridge crosswalk to make them more visible, increasing signage on the north side of the rail bridge, and moving the

crossing further south.

Fletcher also asked Twaddle to have a "Watch Your Speed" trailer installed as a temporary safety measure.

"It’s great that people want to walk to school and the city should be support-

There is a lot that engineering can do but a lot of it is driver behaviour," she said.

Transportation Services will also be doing a review of the area, looking at drivers’ speed, as well as the volume of motorists on Coxwell.

Ward 15 TDSB Trustee Jennifer Story is also concerned about the traffic "chaos" on Coxwell Avenue.

"I have received many letters and telephone calls from worried parents concerned about the unsafe conditions and potential for serious incidents as their children travel to and from school," she wrote in a letter to Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders, pointing to two recent collisions involving students from Earl Haig Junior Public School.

Const. Jon Morrice of 55 Division said despite concerns from the public, that stretch of Coxwell Avenue doesn’t have a high number of collisions, but did say complaints have started to come in about drivers speeding on Coxwell Avenue.

” SMART

ing that," Fletcher said, adding a big part of the solution is driver awareness.

Anne Khan, the city’s manager of traffic operations for Toronto and East York District, agreed.

"At the end of the day, there’s no silver bullet.
