COMMUNITY ISSUES UPDATE

COMMUNITY ISSUES UPDATE

In addition to the special events that we organize, the PHCA Board of Directors has been meeting on a regular
basis to discuss a number of issues that matter to our community. Here’s an update on some topics, which
have appeared on our agendas.

Duncan C. Little Parkette Signage

The signage at the parkette located at the corner of
Woodbine Heights and St. Clair Ave. E. has been
missing for years. We hope to see a sign installed in the
near future. The parkette was named after the longest
serving employee with the Borough of East York.
St. Clair Avenue East Resurfacing
We have been in contact with our Councillor and
requested that St. Clair Ave. E in our neighbourhood be
considered for resurfacing in the near future. City staff
is reviewing this request. We received a number of
complaints from residents who fine the street in very
poor condition.

Parkview Gardens Parkette

We continue to work with our Councillor and bring
forward items of concern. The lighting should be
improved shortly on the stone wall and plans to add
some more trees are being reviewed. The Parkette was
recently given a thorough cleanup and we hope the city
will continue this on a regular basis. Plans are being
reviewed to request a bus shelter or bench at the stop
located at the end of Doris Drive. Proper recognition of
those who were involved in the creation of the parkette
is still being worked on. Our hope is to have a plaque
erected in the near future. Local resident and former
Councillor Bob Willis has offered his help with this
project.

Dead Trees in our Community

The city has recently removed the dead trees on the
Northdale Blvd island. Plans to plant more trees there
and in the piece of land next to the stairs entering
Taylor Creek Park off of Alder Road are being
reviewed.

Oasis Bins in our Community

The two Oasis bins in our community have become an
open dumping ground for broken chairs, sofas and
other unwanted items. Complaints have been brought
to our attention and we have been in contact with our
Councillor who has been in touch with by-law
enforcement regarding the removal of the bins.

We are happy to report that the Bin on Hollinger  has been moved from the corner
