Hello,
The following is an update regarding the Gerrard – Elm – D’Arcy – River Street Watermain Replacement project provided by the Public Consultation Unit of the City of Toronto.
“Please be aware, awarding of the Gerrard – Elm – D’Arcy – River Street Watermain Replacement construction contract has been postponed in order to align with the required budgets. A Staff Report related to this award will be presented to Public Works & Infrastructure Committee on September 7, 2011. If then approved by City Council, construction activity could potentially start in January of 2012.
Contractors will contact property owners near shaft sites weeks prior to start. Staging of construction (e.g. which shaft sites will start first) has yet to be finalized.
Further notice will be distributed once the contract is approved and an initial construction schedule is set.
For more information about this project, please visit:

Dear CRA Members,
On Thursday July 21st members of the Board of Directors of the CRA made deputations to the members of the Parks and Environment Committee (PEC) regarding the potential closure of Riverdale Farm.
Over 100 people made deputations, many of them about Riverdale Park West and Riverdale Farm, including the presentation of 7,413 signatures on a petition against the potential closure of the farm.
As you have seen in the news, many of these review committees have made no firm decisions and have chosen to forward consideration of service cuts directly to the Executive Committee for final determination. At the end of the meeting on July 21st, there was a slightly different outcome.
Members of PEC sent the whole package to Executive Committee in September without recommendations. That is, they didn’t give any suggestions around the Farm or anything else discussed (urban forestry or parks). However, they did request that City Staff report on “implications of the specific service reductions” when it comes forward next. So many consider this a small procedural win for the moment.
The PEC meeting was video-taped and archived. You may be interested in the deputations of those who spoke on behalf of Riverdale Park West Stewardship Team (Anne Pastuszak), the Don Vale Cabbagetown Residents Association (John Simpson, Lee Matheson) and the Riverdale Farm Advisory Council (Dan Eldridge).
The archive is at:

Anne at 6:16:43
John at 6:45:19
Lee at 6:53:24
Dan at 8:07:03
Finally, all councillors were presented with a package of 323 emails from Torontonians who submitted written declarations to oppose cuts to services within the Parks and Environment domain; many of these were from Cabbagetown residents.
The CRA is committed to staying abreast of the situation and we will keep you informed as events transpire. As always, visit our website at www.cabbagetowner.com for current information or contact us at info@cabbagetowner.com.
See you around the neighbourhood,
Lindsay Whitfield
On behalf of the CRA
