Jonathan Lai2 years ago Folks coming WB on Anndale have no sidewalk (many going to and from Glendora park).The first intersection of Bonnington and Anndale does not have an accessible sidewalk ramp at the crosswalk. The next 3-way intersection is 2 metres away in a high traffic area. Strollers and wheelchairs etc don't have an easy way to get on the sidewalk from Anndale through the Bonnington intersection. I know there is a future plan to redo the roads here, but if there is an cost-effective way to increase safety, I would strongly recommend it!

Ron Brosseau2 years ago I do not see the Glendora “off leash park” as an improvement to the area, but rather a detriment.The existing area is constantly used by a wide range of people, school children, summer school kids, sunbathers, picnickers and yes people with dogs, but not in concentration. The area itself would not perform well to a heavy load of dogs as it is prone to light flooding after heavy rains and any runoff would be towards the water park. Spring is an especially bad time as the melt water collects there and the area becomes extremely muddy. This would not be very nice if the waste of a concentrated area of dogs was to happen, on or off leash.My wife and I have lived here more than 40 years and have seen the park grow with activity as more and more people enjoy what it offers as it now exists. It has improved from the simple swings and scary slide that our children used, to a much safer activity area. This current proposal would take away one of the flat areas that is constantly used, which would then be detrimental to the other flat area which is also used by many people plus it is were the natural ice rink is located.This is an existing well used Pleasure park and the inclusion of a concentration of dogs on or off is in opposition to its purpose.

Stephanie Baxter2 years ago No Parking between 8am and 6pm signs on Anndale Drive between Bonnington and Leona Drive have been removed, and I am requesting restoration of the parking prohibition.Our street has no sidewalk and is very busy with car and pedestrian traffic during the day. Parents and children use our street to get to and from Avondale Public School.Individuals using the subway to get to work will park along the street forcing pedestrians to walk in the middle of the street and have to deal with the high levels of traffic.On weekends we have a high level of parking and through traffic but since there is no school there are less people on the street.Please support this request so that the proposal can be submitted to Transportation Services for a new investigation.Background on why the signs were removed, from Councillor's Cheng’s officeBased on a bylaw passed in 2013 the dashed area below was removed to comply with Community Council approval and Chapter 950, and it is now subject to the citywide 3-hour maximum parking rule. Here are the links to community council decisions for your reference: Agenda Item History - 2013.NY25.18 (toronto.ca) Parking Prohibition – Anndale Drive (toronto.ca) If the affected residents wish to reinstate the "No Parking 8 AM to 6 PM, Mon-Fri" signage on the north side of Anndale Dr, east of Tradewind Ave, a new investigation by Transportation Services would be required. Additionally, resident support is needed for the Councillor to submit this request to North York Community Council (NYCC), and any changes would need to be approved at NYCC.

Fred Shabani2 years ago There is no sidewalk on Anndale Drive,Walking distance to Subway and a school and now that no parking sign is eliminated, cars park on the road all day long, which make it unsafe for people with stroller, elderly people with wheelchair and kids with small bikes because this is a small and safe family neighbourhood, next Road from us, which is called Glendora and then Avondale, both have sidewalks and also sign saying no parking between 8 AM to 6 PM. Please consider this seriously before someone get seriously injured.

Jesse Elve2 years ago It has become very difficult to get into or out of the Avondale neighbourhood during busy traffic periods in the area (every morning and afternoon and any other time there is an increase in the surrounding area). This has many adverse effects: time cost environmental impact of idling cars increased response time for emergency vehicles This will only be made worse when the work begins on the Doris extension South of Sheppard and with the planned construction of new condo towers in the neighbourhood. In addition, turning left from Bonnington to Sheppard or from Sheppard to Bonnington are both dangerous and (justifiably) time-restricted. And, even outside of the time restrictions, these left-turning vehicles significantly add to the congestion in the area. Re-opening Leona Drive to Sheppard (i.e., removing the barrier and allowing traffic to use Leona Drive to enter and exit the neighbourhood) would at least partially alleviate these issues. Since there is an existing traffic light, left-hand turns from both Leona to Sheppard and from Sheppard to Leona could both occur much more efficiently. As a result, congestion in the neighbourhood could be reduced.There may be a real concern that this will result in more traffic through the residential streets as a result of vehicles using these streets to bypass the Yonge-Sheppard intersection. One way to address this concern could be to add the same time-limitations to left turns which are currently in place for the Bonnington-Sheppard intersection to the Leona-Sheppard intersection.In any event, given the current situation and the expected changes for the worse, it seems clear that re-opening Leona Drive has become necessary. I suggest that we do whatever is required to expedite this with the City.
