Getting onto the Don Valley Parkway from the Bloor Viaduct may become a little slower for cars — but thanks to a new signalized pedestrian crossing, walking between the viaduct and the Broadview/Danforth intersection is set to become much safer.
The signals at the northbound on-ramp to the DVP from the eastbound lanes of the viaduct were finally switched on March 20, and almost immediately a long line of cars queued up as a steady stream of pedestrians took advantage of the safer crossing.
Over the past several months, Economic Development and Culture (EDC) has consulted with over 400 residents and industry partners to develop the new Divisional Strategy. They heard from many consultation participants who spoke to the importance of business and culture and their role in creating strong, prosperous communities. At the same time, EDC knows that there is work to be done to ensure that all Torontonians can share the benefits of a vibrant economy and culture, and to help business and culture partners succeed amid transformation and change.
Thanks to everyone who sent a letter or email, made a deputation or signed a petition, funding for the SH Armstrong Pool was reinstated in the 2018 Budget.
The community has really shown its support by rallying behind the creative leadership of the SH Armstrong Pool Working Group. This past fall registrations doubled over previous years! As well, the facility received upgrades to the viewing gallery and change rooms, the water temperature was improved and the types of programming being offered reflected the needs of the community.
