Resident frustrated by long wait for watermain repair Toronto experiencing highest number of breaks in last 10 years due to cold winter

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Helen Porto is frustrated that she’s been dealing with a broken watermain for more than one

month and it has yet to be repaired.

“It’s terrible,” said the 47-year local resident living on Cayuga Avenue near Weston and Rogers roads. “How would you feel

without water?”

She added that her elderly neighbour could only wash himself with a face cloth.

For Porto, she estimated that it takes about 45 minutes to

collect enough water to use the toilet, and more than an hour to fill the bathtub.

“It’s getting worse because we’re getting less and less >>>city, page 2

City has hired contracters to help staff >>>from page 1 water,” said Porto, adding she fears the water from the broken watermain could cause a sinkhole nearby.

The longtime resident said she hasn’t experienced worse conditions than she has this winter over the nearly five decades she’s lived in the community.

Yo r k S o u t h - We s t o n Councillor Frances Nunziata said she’s been in contact with Porto and confirmed the work will be done by the end of this week.

“The number of watermain breaks is the most in 10 years,” said Nunziata, noting city staff has repaired 772 watermain breaks from Jan. 1 to Feb. 28 this year alone due to the colder winter weather.

Toronto Water has also received 1,839 ‘no water’ calls during the same time interval, Nunziata added.

“The city has hired contractors to help Toronto Water staff,” she said, noting the additional staff will be helping thaw frozen underground

Tips to avoid frozen pipes in your home * Consider leaving a tap open enough for a trickle of water to flow so there is some movement in the water pipes that might be vulnerable to freezing. * If your water pipes are attached to an un-insulated outside wall, remove the clamp from the pipes and gently pull the pipes away from the wall and wrap with insulation. * Insulate all exposed outside water pipes with specially designed foam pipe covers, available at building supply or home improvement stores * Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage. * Open kitchen, bathroom and laundry cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. * If you are leaving your home for an extended period of time, you can shut off the main service valve in your basement and open all taps to drain the water out of your plumbing lines to prevent them from freezing. * Commercial water customers need to prepare for cold nights as well. Protect fire lines by wrapping all lines exposed to cold.

Arrangements are also being made to purchase additional thawing equipment.

In the meantime, she’s asking for patience from residents as city staff continue to

“I know it’s so frustrating, but it’s the whole city that’s experienced this,” she said. “I’m just tired of winter and hopefully it’ll warm up soon.”

Planning expert chimes in on redevelopment of former Kodak lands CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com

W

ith plenty of experience in urban sustainability and urban regeneration, Bill Humber offered a few suggestions as to what the local community could do as it looks toward the redevelopment of the former Kodak lands.

“The number one thing is to embrace it and engage as much as possible...and take advantage of it,” said Humber, who is the director of the Office of Eco Seneca initiatives (OESi) at Seneca College.

He’s currently working on a joint initiative between Seneca and McMaster University called “Regeneration Institute for the Great Lakes,” which aims to educate students and local governments about community revitalization and regeneration in the Great Lakes Region.

Similarly, various stakeholders within the former city of York are seeing the potential for

Site of the former Kodak lands

Bill Humber is a professor at Seneca College. The Guardian spoke with him about the redevelopment of th e form er Ko d ak lands.

community revitalization of the 23-hectare site near Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue that’s being redeveloped as part of Metrolinx’s Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit project.

Humber suggested an increase in density should help with that process.

“More people living in the area should contribute to greater diversity in retail and jobs associated with it,” he said. “The

frustration is those aren’t the highest paying jobs.”

“

The number one thing is to embrace it and engage as much as possible.

– Bill Humber

But Humber suggested a good idea is to give local entrepreneurs an opportunity to bring something distinct to the area as part of the redevelopment.

“There are tools that do support that kind of thing,” he said. “It doesn’t need to be chainstores.”

While Humber recognizes other challenges that may exist with more people living in the area and coming into the neighbourhood as a result of the Eglinton LRT, he believes that higher densities will ultimately be beneficial to the community.

“You need good densities and you need a lot of people near transit,” said Humber, noting many residents opt to

use public transit instead of driving cars in such high density areas as Yonge and Eglinton. “Any development will have its strengths and weaknesses, but the strengths will overwhelm the weaknesses.

Neighbourhoods change over time.”

But Humber added that one important aspect of the redevelopment of the former Kodak lands is to consider how to preserve some of its past history and create a sense of unique identity within the city.

“How do you incorporate iconic features that are already there?” said Humber, noting old building features can be exciting and lively, which can attract visitors to the community.

The Distillery District and the Evergreen Brick Works serve as good examples.

“Because once they’re gone, they’re kind of gone forever,” Humber said.

Refocus Kodak: Get involved What is Refocus Our Kodak Lands?

Owner grateful to firefighters after terrier rescued from well Dog had been trapped for three days CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com It’s not a call that Captain Brian Scriver of Toronto Fire Services expects to get often.

But on Feb. 21, the firefighters at Fire Station 421 were called to Audrey Fantauzzi’s home near Weston and Rogers roads where Benny, her fouryear-old Wheaton terrier, fell down a 15-foot-deep hole in their backyard.

“It looked to me like an old well approximately five feet across and about 15 feet deep, and a little dog at the bottom

of it,” Scriver recalled.

Benny had, in fact, been in the hole for three days since Feb. 18 when he ran away from another dog that night around 9:30 p.m.

Fantauzzi thought he initially went under their deck or down to the nearby ravine.

But she and her son couldn’t find Benny after looking around the neighbourhood until close to 3 a.m.

They put missing posters up the following day hoping someone might have spotted him.

“I was beside myself. I really thought I let him down,”

Fantauzzi said. “The funny thing is my husband said, ‘I hear him barking.’”

It was their neighbours who found Benny in the hole three days after he initially went missing.

The local fire department was then notified along with Toronto Police and Animal Services.

They tried to lure Benny out of the small cave at the bottom of the hole with a blanket tied off on all four corners and some food as bait.

“When we first got there, Benny was visible and sticking his head out. But then I think Benny got a little tired and scared and retreated back

Audrey Fantauzzi brought in Benny, her four-year-old Wheaton terrier, to visit the firefighters who helped rescue the dog after Benny fell into a hole 15-feet deep.

into this cave for quite some time,” Scriver explained. “It

was actually the Animal Control officer who was able

to snag Benny with a long noose on a pole and pull him up to safety.”

Fantauzzi dropped by the fire hall near Weston Road and Black Creek Drive on Feb. 26 to thank the firefighters and all those involved for rescuing Benny.

“These guys were great. I’m really, really grateful. I just wanted to come in and say thank you,” said Fantauzzi, adding Benny is doing fine and still likes to play. “He’s a very big part of the family. I couldn’t imagine not having him.”

A

plan being promoted by a Toronto councillor to make the city’s construction sites more artistically appealing has great merit.

The WORKSIGHT project aims to turn the plywood boards placed around work sites, known as hoarding, into canvases that can be used to display art, and encourage the creativity of Toronto artists.

Along with beautifying the sites, the artwork can help promote the concept of public art and the artists.

Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam is championing the project, which hopes to see developers and construction companies hire local artists to paint murals on the hoarding.

“One of the goals is to create a platform to support emerging artists and bring the idea the art gallery outside of gallery our view of spaces,” she said. “A lot of people go to galleries, but it’s imporPotential great don’t tant to expose them to art.”

Along with the councillor, social for community enterprise group the PATCH involvement Project and creative agency Wysp Social Marketing are also involved in the project.

PATCH is a group of urban planners, architects and professional artists who have teamed up to support urban development and manage public art projects in the city. Wysp works with artists to help stretch creative boundaries.

With solid backing, the WORKSIGHT project can be a real benefit to communities across Toronto.

Already, there are examples in the city of murals painted on construction hoarding including at Allan Gardens. Encouraging and organizing this creativity into a more formal structure with participation from arts and community groups, along with developers, is a great idea.

Another area where WORKSIGHT has put its plan into action is in the Alexandra Park area of Toronto.

There, residents worked together on an art plan for the future hoarding to surround a massive redevelopment plan in the area. They came up with designs specific to the community and its future goals.

Expanding such a program across the many different construction jobs in the city will help build a great level of resident involvement and enthusiasm for the future of the neighbourhoods, and will help local artists gain profile. It will also make our community more beautiful.

Putting empty rinks temporarily on ice

T

he recent news that an extra 11 outdoor artificial ice rinks have been added to the 17 others scheduled to remain open until Sunday, March 16, is music to these frost-bitten ears. The more the merrier, I say.

Due to global warming, sadly, too many around here have forgotten that skating outside is in our DNA. Canadian singersongwriter Joni Mitchell had a hit titled Big Yellow Taxi that dovetails nicely with this story. It’s about not realizing what you’ve got until it’s gone. Well, this winter’s lingering cold temperatures have been a reminder of just how much ice under a deep blue sky has meant to the local community.

There’s one line in Joni’s song that is extremely pertinent to this tale: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” You see, ironically, I live in a neigh-

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY borhood with an outdoor rink built in what once was a parking lot.

“

Now, I know replacing pavement with a rink doesn’t exactly qualify as a return to nature.

But hey, it’s a return to what comes natural, which ain’t too shabby.

Back-up plan urged for city’s outdoor rinks David Nickle dnickle@insidetoronto.com Next time winter hits Toronto as hard as it is this year, the city should be better prepared – at least when it comes to ice skating.

That was the word from Toronto’s parks and environment committee Monday, as it asked city staff to report on just what it would take to establish a contingency fund to keep outdoor ice rinks open through March Break.

This year, arctic air has kept Toronto in a deep freeze weeks longer than usual. But it took an intervention from private sector donors – Scotiabank and Canadian Tire – to keep an appreciable number of ice rinks going through the next month, after the city-council-approved rinks budget ran out.

Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher said the city shouldn’t rely on the kindness of local businesses to provide services through the whole of a frigid winter.

“Given that it’s minus 18 today and it’s going to be continuing to be cold, it would be a very good thing if we didn’t have to go through this constantly and we actually

had a plan for cold weather,” said Fletcher.

“That’s what we should do: consider holding a cold weather contingency into the 2015 operating budget for the extension of the

outdoor skating season.”

Other councillors agreed.

Etobicoke Centre Councillor Peter Leon said the city needs a plan to deal with what could be colder winters.

“Our weather pattern is changing,” he said. “Traditionally we see much warmer weather now. I think the idea of having something in place that would deal with this... should our weather patterns continue to develop along this line, is a good thing.”

York Centre Councillor James Pasternak also agreed.

“While (winter’s) here we might as well make the best of it and enjoy it,” he said.

“I believe we’re actually acting as a responsible city, an active city, by funding rinks through the cold parts of the winter and letting families and everyone else enjoy the outdoors.”

Co m m i t t e e c h a i r Gi o r g i o Mammoliti drew chuckles when he proposed looking into giving the mayor power to unilaterally extend skating seasons.

“I’m not talking about this mayor, guys...I’m talking about the mayor in general – giving the ability to make these kinds of calls from the mayor’s office,” said Mammoliti.

Can you help ID a burglary suspect?

Police from 12 Division continue to seek help in identifying a break-and-enter suspect.

Police said a man attempted to break into a business near Jane Street and Weston Road around 3 a.m. Feb 2.

Still images, taken from surveillance video, have been released.

“It’s pretty clear,” Det. Chris Scherk said of the images.

The City of Toronto holds public consultations as one way to engage residents in the life of their city.Toronto thrives on your great ideas and actions. We invite you to get involved.

Electronic and illuminated sign study Public Consultation Sign Regulations The City ofToronto is looking for the public’s input on potential changes to the sign regulations related to electronic and illuminated signs and billboards.

In 2013, the City ofToronto initiated a comprehensive research project that included a planning and design review, an update of traffic safety implications, and a poll to assess public opinion inToronto towards electronic and illuminated signs. Public consultation is an essential element of this process.

Based on the study findings, changes toToronto’s sign regulations have been proposed. AllToronto residents and businesses are encouraged to participate and provide the City with feedback about this important issue.

Members of the public are invited to attend the following workshop for a brief presentation, and to speak with City staff to share thoughts and ideas on this subject.

Information will be collected in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

“We’re hoping that somebody in the public will know who it is.”

The suspect is white, 25 to 30 years old, 5’9” to six-feet tall and 170 to 190 pounds.

He wore dark pants and a white shirt.

Scherk said the burglar appeared inebriated in the video. He suggested the man may frequent the area so police are hoping people in

Ford’s Kimmel appearance little more than a public shaming The Ford brothers’ trip to Los Angeles over the week-

end caught a great many of us by surprise – particularly as

Mayor Rob Ford left Toronto claiming to be en route to

Health Fair 55+

Tuesday March 18th, 2014 · 9:30am - 12:30pm

attend the Oscar ceremony and walk the red carpet, on the arm of late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Turned out the mayor was a little premature. For some reason, according to his brother, there were security issues involving the late addition of Toronto’s chief magistrate to the A-list. No matter: the mayor would attend Kimmel’s after-party.

Although it turned out Kimmel didn’t have one of those: just an after-Oscar show where the mayor took part in a little skit and Kevin Spacey (who’s not a politician, but plays one on Netflix) made some unkind Ford jokes.

The next night, Mayor Ford seemed giddy when he came out for his guest spot on Kimmel’s show. Listening to his brother Doug the next day, they had all been honestly hoping to use the time on the popular late-night show to extol the virtues of Toronto.

It sure seemed that by then, the only one surprised was Rob, who instead walked into a late-night version of A Christmas Carol, compressed

david nickle the city into what seemed like an excruciating half-hour in which many of the mayor’s sins and humiliations were paraded before him.

Kimmel called Ford on everything from his sartorial sensibilities (“Why are you dressed like a magician?”) to his apparent love of the vine.

Ford laughed it all off – and also sweated it off, to the point that Kimmel at one point reached across to dab the mayor’s forehead – and bravely tried to stick to his familiar message.

Indeed, I don’t think a single word left Ford’s mouth in Los Angeles that hadn’t been road-tested many times with Toronto media.

Give Kimmel this: he was much more effective in deconstructing Ford’s patter than we’ve been here, swinging as we do between the hardball confrontational questions of a city hall scrum and the gently commiserative queries

of Conrad Black.

Kimmel put Ford in front of his sins and failures, and offering redemption only in acceptance.

Fo rd l e f t t h e s t u d i o unmoved. Indeed, the next day Doug Ford was in Toronto telling the media how well it all went: how Kimmel thought it funny that Ford’s colleagues were annoyed with him for leaving town after stripping him of powers; how it was all scripted, and really no one was surprised at the hard questions; and how Americans thought that in the end, Rob Ford simply seemed to them more “real.”

It certainly was that. Mayor Rob Ford was faced with buckets of “real” over that half hour of television. The reality was there was nothing but a trip to Los Angeles during a frigid Toronto weekend. Nothing but an expertly-wrought public shaming, and an intervention delivered in earnest, both of which Ford appeared to do his best to ignore.

signs at BloorYonge station wNew

rahul gupta

New subway signs appeared at Bloor-Yonge station over the weekend as the TTC tested out a revamped wayfinding scheme for riders.

The rebranded signs – vinyl overlays placed overtop of existing station signage – display numbers and colour-coding as a way to make it easier, the TTC hopes, for commuters to identify the service they want to use. Under the new scheme, the YongeUniversity-Spadina line is represented as Line 1 and the colour yellow, while Bloor-Danforth is Line 2, or the green line.

The new designs will be at the station on a pilot basis in order to gauge rider feedback. St. George station will be next on the list for the new look, within a few weeks.

TO in TRANSIT a series of public meetings as part of its ongoing Relief Line Network study.

The provincial transit planning agency is studying how to improve transit in the Toronto area and beyond if and when a relief line subway is funded and constructed. As part of the study Metrolinx had organized a series of public consultations – in collaboration with the city which is also organizing its own study – for early March.

Spokesperson Vanessa Thomas said the meetings were postponed until later in the month to “maximize the opportunity for public input.”

Specific times and locations will be released soon, she said.

Foundation seeking feedback wNeptis

line public meetings postponed wrelief

A planning research group which recently released an unfavourable analysis

Metrolinx has postponed

of Toronto transit plans, wants to hear from city builders what issues it should study over the next three to five years.

Neptis Foundation generated headlines when it released a report late last year concluding certain transit projects that are part of Metrolinx’s Big Move plan, including the Scarborough subway extension and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, did not represent good economic investment.

With the death last year of founding executive director Tony Coombes, the group is now reviewing its original research mandate and sent out an email to urban planners and others encouraging suggestions for further study.

Also, the group will release its review of the province’s economic growth strategy this week.
