DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com “It’s a simple thing, right?”

That’s Nick Kouvalis – the marketing and campaign manager who helped Rob Ford win the mayor’s race in 2010 – on the trick to running a winning campaign for the top political job in Toronto, and arguably the highest-profile municipal

post in Canada.

Getting that post routinely requires a war chest of more than $1 million and a commitment of all or most of a year to a political marathon that has defeated cabinet ministers, CEOs, city councillors and even former mayors as they vie for the hearts, minds and ultimately votes of almost three million Torontonians.

The finish line for the upcoming marathon campaign is a little over a year from now: Oct. 27, when Toronto voters decide on a new council and mayor.

And rumors are swirling as to who is likely to run. Ford has indicated he will run, and New Democrat MPP Olivia Chow and Councillor Karen Stintz are said to be working on assembling campaign teams.

Former councillor and mayor David Miller-era budget chief David Socknacki said he is exploring a candidacy. And political observers are watching to see what radio host John Tory and councillors Shelley Carroll, Adam Vaughan and Denzil Minnan-Wong will do.

At this point, Kouvalis doesn’t plan on being involved in any >>>RUNNING, page 7

A series of small parkettes along 1.5 kilometres of Dundas Street has been awarded an Urban Design Award for Small Open Spaces.

The Dundas Street West Parkettes were given the Award of Merit for the eight tiny parkettes, which were created in formerly neglected nooks along the street.

Completed in 2011, the Dundas Street West Parkettes are intended to provide a rhythm of special moments along the street, injecting trees and planting and furnishings for residents to pause and participate in the street life.

“It was something the community really deserved,” said Sylvia Draper Fernandez, a former chair of the Dundas West Business Improvement Area, who had a hand in bringing these parkettes to life.

The corner parkettes feature benches, planters and bike racks.

“You see a lot of people sitting there, women there with kids and strollers,” Draper Fernandez said. “Just in general it improves the quality of life to have something nice to look at as you are walking down the street.”

Designed by PMA Landscape Architects Ltd., the parkettes were sponsored by the Dundas Street West BIA and Toronto.

Sixteen Awards of Merit and one for a Special Jury Award were handed out at the awards at Palais Royale Sept. 12.

MYTH: THE AIRPORT IS UNWILLING TO PAY ITS FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. FACT: WE’VE OFFERED TO PAY THE SAME AMOUNT AS

PEARSON.

$.80

Amount recommended we pay per passenger

$.94

Amount we offered to pay

An independent advisory panel recommended that Billy Bishop be “taxed” the same way as Pearson Airport – on a per passenger basis, and that $.80 was a fair amount. We offered to pay the same amount as Pearson - $.94 per passenger – or 17.5% more than the recommended amount. But we don’t think it would be fair to ask our passengers to pay one penny more of tax to the City than they pay when they fly from Pearson.

Unique clinic bringing Joy of Hockey to local moms ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com

A

t McCormick Arena, a group of women are taking the term “hockey moms” to a whole new level. It isn’t just about shuttling kids and sitting in stands anymore for a group of ladies in Toronto’s downtown west end who have joined a hockey clinic of their own.

Tim Posgate, who lives in Little Italy, started a women’s hockey clinic called The Joy of Hockey, a safe and fun hockey program for women at the beginner and intermediate level of the sport.

“The whole thing is about having fun,” Posgate explained.

Posgate plays hockey with a group of jazz musicians and coaches his children’s hockey team at McCormick Arena, on Brock Street, so he admits he probably spends an inordinate amount of time there.

“I saw a lot of moms over the years watching their kids play hockey and I would hear comments like, ‘I wish I was out there’ or ‘if I knew more about hockey it would be even more

fun’,” Posgate said. “I could see how much they wanted to be out on the ice.”

Posgate started to think about how he could do something about these moms who longed to lace up the skates for themselves.

A self-described hockey fanatic, Posgate is also a music teacher, so he decided to combine the two skills – hockey and teaching – to create the women’s only hockey clinic.

He put out the word and a number of moms got on board, so much so, that the women’s hockey clinic just kicked off its third season. Sessions started Sept. 19 and run through to the beginning of July in eight-week blocks.

The Joy of Hockey draws a range of women from 19 to late-60s, Posgate said. They are mostly moms who come from around the area, but also as far as the Beach area of Toronto.

“As long as you can skate forward and have the equipment then you can play,” Posgate said.

This is Jennifer Walton’s second season playing with The Joy of Hockey group. The

Members of The Joy of Hockey meet every Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. at McCormick Arena with founder Tim Posgate. The women’s only hockey clinic is for women at the beginner and intermediate level of the sport.

50-year-old visual artist and mother of two said she wanted to learn more about hockey in an environment that was just for women.

“You learn a lot of skills and you get the ice time,” Walton said.

The Parkdale mom said she plays shinny with her children and they are growing ever impressed with her skills.

“I didn’t even know how to skate as a kid so this is good for me,” Walton said. “And it is fun and social.”

On common ground

The women, under the guidance of Posgate, get together Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. and start some basic on-ice stretching and then drills and skills including skating, shooting, stick handling and strategy. The last half hour is spent playing a game of shinny.

“It is really interesting to see, from having taught kids for years, kids aren’t really interested in skill and drills, they just want to play,” he said. “But I find the women really like drills and skills.”

They are the first group on the ice Thursday mornings, so Posgate said they will often show up a little early and goof around a bit.

“It is almost the best part, they are just out there shooting pucks and chatting and catching up,” Posgate said.

Posgate said more women, moms or not, are welcome to join The Joy of Hockey, and can do so for one of the eight week sessions at a cost of $170 or drop in for a morning for $25.

What we’d like to see in 2014 municipal race

W

hile 13 months may seem like a long time away, Toronto’s next municipal election and the race for who will be the mayor come Oct. 27, 2014 is actually coming fast.

In today’s edition, our special feature looks at some of the names being talked about as possible mayoral candidates. Considering that municipal candidates can register their nomination, start campaigning (and more importantly start raising money) as of Jan. 3, the time for voters to start paying attention is now.

As our story points out, running for mayor in Toronto has become a costly marathon requiring a huge amount of political and personal stamina, and about $1 million in funding.

The last mayoral race in 2010, which saw more than 30 candidates vie for the seat left open by the departing David Miller, had debates virtually every day in the final six weeks of a campaign, which was ultimately won by Rob Ford.

Ford will be running again, and we’ve identified some pos- our view sible challengers in our story.

It’s our hope, though, that the Wanted: a race 2014 campaign will be differthat brings us ent from 2010. That campaign saw the divide between our together city’s suburban communities of Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke and the downtown core ramped up for political gain.

Ford played that divide masterfully, tapping into the frustration felt by suburban residents toward Miller and his administration, which was perceived as downtown-centric. Yes, it was a winning formula, but we’d like to see a campaign focusing on bringing Torontonians together in 2014 rather than a polarization of our city’s communities.

We’d also like to see a race free from party politics.

We recognize Ford’s strong Conservative connections, and prior to that Miller’s association with the NDP, but it’s critical municipal politics stay free of the party system. It’s the only level of representation we have not linked to political parties and agendas that may not mesh with the needs of a specific neighbourhood or ward.

While high-profile mayor’s races attract voter interest, remember choosing your councillor is a critically important decision. These are the politicians in your neighbourhood, close to your issues, and who are approachable. Also, be wary of council candidates latching onto mayoral candidates in an attempt to ride their coattails. Councillors’ first priority should be the people of the community they represent, not their political allegiance to the mayor.

Subway extension: Time for Scarborough to forgive?

There will be property tax increases. We can expect congestion on the BloorDanforth subway line growing to a human traffic jam by the time trains reach Yonge and Bloor. Buses will be the booby prize for priority neighbourhoods promised stops on a light rail line.

‘Cheer’ Yet raise a cheer, Scarborough. Our government is finally building subways deep into Scarborough.

Those of us who take the Scarborough Rapid Transit (RT) line to the Scarborough Town Centre will no longer face the insult of sporadic service and several escalator rides at the Kennedy station transfer to the BloorDanforth subway line.

We will be able to clutch a pole from Yonge Street all the way to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road one day, where, if our

david nickle the city mayor’s luck holds out, we will one day be able to hang tight as the subway wheels around and heads back west beneath the condotower-shaded pavement, right back to Yonge Street.

But let us not get ahead of ourselves, Scarborough.

For now it is enough that we are building a subway – one that replaces that clanking, wheezing toy-choo-choo-train insult of a conveyance, the Scarborough RT. It is, let’s be honest, almost more of an affront than no transit at all.

The new subway will be less of an affront than that, surely.

If all goes according to the latest, cobbled-together plan, the three-stop subway to Sheppard will in fact be a proper apology: a $3 billion box of chocolates from neglectful old city hall, beg-

ging forgiveness for staying out late and spending all Scarborough’s hard-earned money on lattes and film festivals and parades and fancy waterfronts.

So Scarborough, subway in hand, might it perhaps be time that we offered up some proper forgiveness?

Poor relation Perhaps we should abandon that narrative that has so long defined Scarborough: that it is forever treated as Toronto’s poor relation, living with naught but the threadbare hand-me-downs and the withering contempt of its so-called betters.

Glenn De Baeremaeker, the Scarborough Centre councillor who along with TTC Chair Karen Stintz helped push his colleagues on council to abandon the multi-stop light rail line to travel that route, suggested Monday that the subway “will bring Scarborough into the family, finally.”

So yes, forgiveness. That is what family does.

Which means that when it next becomes necessary for Toronto to expand transit, and Scarborough is faced with perhaps watching its tax dollars go to building a downtown relief line – in part, to deal with the crush of riders on the newer, longer BloorDanforth line – it would not be out of place to cultivate a certain magnanimity.

Should the light rail lines that are also to be built in Scarborough – along Eglinton and Sheppard Avenues – turn out to be more help than hindrance, it might be gracious to say so.

Grievance, complaint, anger and envy: these are surely feelings of the past now, at least in Scarborough.

Surely, the subway to Sheppard has made it all better.

Latest plans for Peace Garden unveiled at meeting Group wants to turn Roncesvalles and Dundas concrete triangle into green space ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com T h e c o n c re t e t r i a n g l e immediately south of where Roncesvalles Avenue and Dundas Street West connect is a small space, just 72 square metres in size, but is inching ever closer to becoming a lush garden of peace and tranquility.

For a number of years the Dundas Roncesvalles Peace Garden group has been working to develop and implement a plan to redevelop the concrete triangle into a garden.

The proposed garden would be part of the 1812 Binational Peace Garden Trail network, a cross-border tourism initiative connected with the international peace garden foundation, which mark the sites – and tell the stories – of the War of 1812.

It is also intended to enhance the streetscape, be

a commemorative place to celebrate peace and identify the area as a gateway to Roncesvalles Village to the south.

“The design intent was to create a year-round place of enjoyment, contemplation and community gathering,” said Mary Tremain, of PLANT Architect Inc, who presented the latest plans for the garden to the community at a meeting on Sept. 23 at Olga Korper Gallery, near Dundas Street West and Sorauren Avenue.

ON THE PHYSICAL SITE The new conceptual designs, Tremain said, are based on plans brought to them, community input and opportunities the architects saw on the physical site.

The plan includes a planting garden and circular interior seating area that is 4.5 metres in diameter, and

The garden would honour the men who built the road as well as those warriors.

There are a number of approvals needed for the project, but Bushby said she expects shovels to be in the ground this time next fall.

������� ������� NAME: Olivia Chow CURRENT POSITION: New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Trinity-Spadina BIOGRAPHY: Olivia Chow came to Canada from Hong Kong with her family in 1970. She was first elected as a school trustee in 1985, then was elected to Metropolitan Toronto Council in 1991 along with her husband, fellow New Democrat Jack Layton. The pair were elected to Toronto council at amalgamation, where Chow worked as council’s children’s advocate. Chow ran twice for the federal seat in Trinity-Spadina before joining Layton, then leader of the NDP, in Ottawa in 2005. Following Layton’s death in 2011, Chow has continued as MP for Trinity-Spadina.

NAME: Rob Ford CURRENT POSITION: Mayor of Toronto BIOGRAPHY: The son of former Conservative MPP and Etobicoke businessman Doug Ford Sr., Ford first joined Toronto council in 2000 as councillor for Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) and became mayor in 2010. Ford has made a name attacking what he sees as government waste and personally returning calls from residents.

He has also been at the centre of a litany of controversies including allegations of drug use.

NAME: Shelley Carroll CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor BIOGRAPHY: A former community activist, Shelley Carroll got her start in politics as a Toronto District School Board trustee in 2000, finishing her single term there as co-chair. In 2003, she was elected to Toronto council in Ward 33 (Don Valley East). After spending her first term on council chairing the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, Carroll was picked for budget chair in 2006 and was a major ally of Miller.

When he announced he wasn’t running in 2010, the longtime Liberal considered a run but decided against early in the election year. Through this term of council, Carroll has been one of Ford’s sharper critics.

NAME: Karen Stintz CURRENT POSITION: Eglinton-Lawrence councillor and chair of the Toronto Transit Commission BIOGRAPHY: Karen Stintz was elected to Toronto council in 2003 after famously answering an advertisement from a local ratepayer organization seeking a candidate to run against incumbent Ann Johnston. Stintz considered and rejected a run for mayor in 2010. Instead, she became chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, where she earned Mayor Rob Ford’s enmity opposing his Sheppard subway plan in favour of the existing light rail plan, then in 2013 championed another Scarborough subway – along the Scarborough RT line.

NAME: Adam Vaughan CURRENT POSITION: Trinity-Spadina councillor BIOGRAPHY: Son of the late CityTV journalist and politician Colin Vaughan, Adam Vaughan worked as a television journalist at CBLT and CityTV. During his tenure covering city hall, former mayor Mel Lastman famously threatened to have him “killed” because he believed (falsely) that Vaughan had leaked information about a shoplifting incident involving Lastman’s wife. Vaughan ran for Toronto council in 2006 in the ward left vacant by Olivia Chow, winning the race against NDP candidate Helen Kennedy. He has been one of Ford’s most vociferous critics since 2010.

Running for mayor takes lots of stamina

NAME: John Tory CURRENT POSITION: chair, CivicAction and CFRB radio host BIOGRAPHY: John Tory got his start in politics working for former Ontario premier Bill Davis and has worked for former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell, before leading Rogers Media and Rogers Cable. After coming in second in the 2003 mayor’s race, Tory went on to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, then host a popular afternoon radio show on CFRB 1010. Tory supporters made preparations for a second mayoralty run in 2010, but he backed out of the race early that year.

NAME: David Soknacki CURRENT POSITION: columnist with Metroland Media Toronto, President of Ecom Food Industries Corporation BIOGRAPHY: David Soknacki is a Scarborough business owner whose company Ecom Food Industries imports spices. He served a single term on the old Scarborough Council from 1994 to 1997, then returned to politics in 1999, filling former Scarborough mayor and councillor Frank Faubert’s seat in a byelection following his death. In 2003, he was Miller’s budget chief, and oversaw the first three budgets of that administration. In 2006, he left politics to return to his business and chair the Parc Downsview Park’s board.

NAME: Denzil Minnan-Wong CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor, chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee BIOGRAPHY: Denzil Minnan-Wong is a veteran of municipal politics in North York.

He was first appointed to North York Council in 1994 to fill a vacant seat in Don Mills. A longtime Progressive Conservative, MinnanWong was among Miller’s more active critics and is one of Ford’s most trusted allies. He currently sits on the Executive Committee and chairs the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. While he is loyal to Ford, he has differed from the mayor on occasion – notably, in not supporting a casino in downtown Toronto earlier this year.

>>>from page 1 of those campaigns. But as to the challenge of running a winner? “A simple thing,” he says.

“You have to have a message that you’re communicating that the plurality of voters accept. You have to identify your voters, know who they are and get them out to vote.”

That, in essence, was the formula Kouvalis used to propel Ford across the finish line, in a race that was considered former Liberal Health Minister George Smitherman’s to lose in early 2010: A blitz of robocalls, telephone town halls and shoe-leather to identify those voters who agreed with Ford’s mantra of stopping the “gravy train” of out-of-control public spending, and make sure they came out on election day.

By election day, the Ford campaign had a detailed list of supporters.

It’s unlikely that list will be as much use four years later, Kouvalis acknowledges, given what he calls “the distractions” of Mayor Ford’s current term. But the larger divide continues to persist: Ford’s support is strongest in suburban communities and weak in the downtown core.

Andrea Adario, who served as press secretary on Miller’s 2003 campaign, says any contender in 2014 is going to have to address that divide.

“The city needs a mayor who’s really going to unite most of the municipalities post amalgamation in a way we haven’t seen yet,” she says.

“Any candidate needs to be visiting every corner of the city and getting into a headspace where they can comfortably be the advocate of all parts of Toronto. The mayor needs to be seen as a downtown candidate or an Etobicoke candidate.”

Adario said given the gruelling pace of a Toronto election, any candidate also needs stamina.

Once nominations open Jan. 3, 2014, candidates will have to balance fundraising and low-level campaigning with what has historically been a gruelling number of debates.

“It was crazy,” recalls Adario. “We were debating nightly for sure. I would say there was a minimum of four a week, sometimes more. Everything from local ratepayer associations to big debates sponsored by news outlets.”

On his radio show, Ford has indicated he doesn’t intend to attend nearly as many debates as he did in 2010.

“There are risks as well as benefits,” says Adario. “You risk having the conversation unfold without you... but he’s shown that he knows how to be disciplined and stay on message and he is a formidable campaigner. But it all depends on who else is running and whatever revelations we might have.”

Which leads to one other very simple truth about mayors’ races in Toronto.

“There are no rules,” says Kouvalis.

Take a walk on the east side ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com A Parkdale artist has created a walk meant to immerse the senses and compel its participants to help shape the future of an industrial landscape.

The Port Lands Sensory Walk is a public walk that leads to five selected vantage points along the Martin Goodman Trail.

Participants tune into their senses and observe the dynamics between the forces of nature, industry and recreation that share and shape this unique urban landscape.

Parkdale artist Lisa Binnie informs her art by seeking out landscapes on the brink of redevelopment and immersing herself in them for extended periods of time.

For the last 15 months she has spent her time in the port lands district, located at the east end of Toronto’s harbour, south of Lake Shore Boulevard between Cherry Street and Leslie Street.

“I spend a lot of time walking and observing and collecting things,” Binnie said. “It is about experience and immersing yourself and becoming really aware of really small details.”

Binnie, who lives in a tower in south Parkdale overlooking the lake, had been splitting her time between Toronto and Bancroft, where she had a studio for nine years.

When Binnie had to sell the studio, she set out in search of wilderness she could access easily in Toronto and ended up at the Leslie Spit.

“I realized I had never paid attention to the area around there and it is so diverse and odd,” Binnie said. “I feel like it is our version of the pyramids and the Sphinx because there are these big piles of salt everywhere covered in these black tarps and everything is enormous and over sized.

“Even though the industry doesn’t seem to fit with the natural environment down there

“

The walk is my version of an exhibition.

– Lisa Binnie

they have co-existed ever since that area was filled in. That is what I find really compelling, how nature, industry and the recreational aspect all fit in with each other down there.”

This walk builds on the practise of art walking and Binnie said she is hoping to not only introduce new people to that place, but make them invested in it. The Port Lands Sensory Walk is part of Binnie’s thesis for her interdisciplinary masters of art, media and design at OCAD.

artist-led walks and the final one is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 13, 10 a.m. The walk starts at The Port Lands Sensory Walk flag at the southeast corner of the lower Cherry Street bridge, just north of Unwin Avenue.

Lisa Binnie leads The Port Lands Sensory Walks.

The final walk is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 13.

Binnie is also mounting a show of panoramic photos from the port lands at the City Hall Rotunda Oct. 15 to 18.

‘Bit of research’ “The walk is my version of an exhibition,” Binnie explained. “It is also a way for me to do a bit of research. I watch the people who come on the walk with me, what they are interested in observing and I give them a questionnaire at the end.”

Originally her thought was to make an installation piece inspired by the port lands, which she would present in a gallery.

“But I really want to get people to go down there for themselves,” Binnie said. “By making a walk I could get people down there and have them experience it by immersing themselves.”

She designed a flag with a smoke stack, bicycle wheel and a wave, representing industry, recreation and nature which mark the path.

Participants can join a walk with Binnie, or take a self-guided walk following the flags set up along the way, which will be in place until Oct. 31.

After doing the walk and giving feedback, Binnie hopes to find out from participants what they would like to see happen in the port lands.

Dundas-St. Clarens Parkette now the focus of Dundas West BIA erin hatfield ehatfield@insidetoronto.com Tucked off Dundas Street West near Lansdowne Avenue is a little parkette Lubo Brezina and the Dundas West Business Improvement Area (BIA) say has been all but forgotten.

Dundas-St. Clarens Parkette is a small city-owned green space with a couple of swings and a slide, but according to Brezina, the space is under-

used and lacks any appeal.

“My problem is that there is no sense of place there,” Brezina said. “There is nothing there to attract you there or keep you there. It just seems like forgotten space.”

Brezina is a father, artist, businessman and the chair of the Dundas West BIA. His children are two and five years old and they live just down the street from Dundas-St. Clarens Parkette at 1717

Dundas St. W. in Ward 18.

The family, however, doesn’t frequent the small parkette.

“That is the only public green space we have and it is under-utilized,” Brezina said. “We need to bring some life to it.”

There is unused space toward the back of the parkette and a fence along the front, which Brezina said creates a psychological barrier.

“It isn’t a place you would

CONSUMER FEATURE

New chronic disease management tool improves quality of life People with COPD and CHF can enjoy life with well-managed health plans Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), hypertension and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are just a few of the chronic diseases nearly 20 million Canadians are living with today.

The diseases are more common in, but not exclusive to, seniors.

The good news is that, when well-managed with medication, lifestyle choices and paying attention to early warning signs, people with chronic diseases like COPD (which causes shortness of breath and frequent coughing) and CHF (which causes shortness of breath and swelling in the legs) can enjoy a good quality of life.

And there’s help. Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) assists people to stay at home longer, while helping them manage chronic diseases and other major health issues.

Telehomecare is offered free of charge to clients of the Toronto Central CCAC and select CCACs throughout Ontario. It monitors patients from home using technol-

ogy, helping people living with these chronic diseases.

Each day, Telehomecare patients use special equipment to check their blood pressure, weight, heart rate and pulse. Using a computer tablet, they answer simple questions about how they’re feeling that day. The information is sent automatically to the Telehomecare office.

Their nurse reviews this information and speaks with the patient by phone if the numbers or symptoms are cause for concern. The Telehomecare nurse also has direct contact with the patient’s family doctor.

Telehomecare includes weekly coaching sessions, in which the nurse educates the patient about their chronic diseases, and early warning signs indicating they should call their doctor – before they need emergency care.

Most importantly, take action to stay healthy when you have COPD and CHF: • Follow your doctor’s instructions for how to take your medication • Eat healthy foods (with CHF, avoid salt) • Wash your hands often – to reduce your chance of picking up germs • Exercise daily – simply walking around the block or in the house helps

• Balance activity with rest.

Even with a chronic disease, the choices and actions you take can make a big difference to your everyday health.

want to sit down and spend some time,” Brezina said.

Brezina said the park needs a redesign by a landscape architect and he hopes to begin that process with a safety audit.

“We should have a master plan,” Brezina said. “Not that we would implement it right away, but we would have a guiding principle.”

Visioning meeting There was a meeting about the parkette this time last year and residents did some visioning at that time. At that point, people talked about getting better play equipment, seating and improving sightlines as well as a stage area or water activities.

Helder Ramos, the coordinator of the Dundas West BIA, explained since that meeting, the BIA has focused primarily on the Dundas West Street Festival and its sidewalk sales.

“But with those two events now finding their own legs, the parkette will become more

of a priority,” Ramos said.

In order to animate the park, start rallying stakeholders and identifying what changes need to be made to the park, the BIA has a potluck planned for Oct. 6 in the parkette.

“Through these events and activities, we hope to ascertain where the real lack is, what is really needed, what can happen organically and what would be forced in order

to help filter and refine before an actual, formal, redesign,” Ramos said.

The BIA is asking people who are interested in the park to contact them at duwestbia@gmail.com Visit www.facebook.com/ events/373593996102764 for information about the potluck.

Residents voice concern over diesel not design concepts of air rail link RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Residents turned out en masse recently for a contentious town hall-style meeting on design concepts for the noise wall barriers intended for the GO Georgetown rail corridor.

This month, the transit planning agency Metrolinx is holding four separate meetings along the corridor to solicit community feedback on suggested designs for the structures intended to mitigate the noise from elevated levels of diesel train traffic.

Design concepts created by consulting firm IBI Group were already released online back in July, showing wall concepts made from variations of transparent, shaded acrylic panels as well as concrete pieces forming a ribbon motif, from which public art or greenery can be displayed.

To gain community feed-

back, advisory panels made up of residents from eight west-end neighbourhoods along the corridor were formed. The panels’ recommendations, on issues ranging from excessive shadows caused by the walls to graffiti removal, were incorporated into the proposed designs.

past commitment to electrify the Union Pearson Express route by 2017, and is conducting a study to be completed in 2014, Davenport MP Andrew Cash said the link should have been electrified from the start.

“The decision not to electrify has resulted in the project as it is now which offers no benefits to the community, few stops and high ticket fares,” said Cash during the meeting.

“This infrastructure was not built for us, it was built in spite of us.”

Metrolinx is accepting online feedback on the concepts until Oct. 2.

A final decision on the design concepts is expected to be made by the Metrolinx board of directors in time for planned construction starting in spring of 2014, which will last a year.

80 people in attendance But on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at Lithuanian House, a significant majority of the estimated 80 people in attendance were not interested in hearing about wall concepts under consideration along the rail tracks from Landsdowne Avenue to Bloor Street West and beyond, but rather to call for immediate electrification of the corridor.

“Okay, there’s less sound, but how is it going to protect our hearts and lungs?” wondered Melanie Robitaille.

“Diesel is the big issue.”
