Poppies are blooming at Holodomor Memorial Park, l Poppies are blooming at Holodomor Memorial Park, located in the CNE grounds near the Prince's Gates. 

"The 3 Millstone Gardens represent themes of Remembrance, Resilience and Renascence. These provide a narrative of the Holdomor and its legacy, with links to information and resources through scannable QR codes sited in each garden. 

Ornamental screens created by artists Anastasia Zaiats, Brad Emsley, and Rhonda Weppler further interpret each theme in the gardens."

It was an honour to receive the Wayne Scott Commun It was an honour to receive the Wayne Scott Community Service Award in recognition of our community design work, including our Avenue Road study & the revitalization of St. George Street. We're pleased to donate the $1,000 award to the Thorncliffe Park Autism Support Network!

The first narrowing of a major street in Toronto, the revitalization of St. George Street raised the possibility of restoring a balance between the pedestrian, the cyclist, & the car— a model for more safe streets to come.

We're thrilled to see @cityofto's 2023 Housing Act We're thrilled to see @cityofto's 2023 Housing Action Plan recommendation to end exclusionary zoning & increase housing densities on major streets. 

This could be a major step toward seeing an UnAvenues pilot project as published in @spacingmagazine & today's edition of Novae Res Urbis Toronto. 

Thanks very much to Rahul Gupta at NRU Publishing for highlighting our work today.

The Dufferin Grove Community Project was completed The Dufferin Grove Community Project was completed over twenty years ago, but the problems of Dufferin Grove Park persist—there is still no relationship between the park and its adjacent streets.

Along the park’s boundary with Havelock Street is a setback steel fence that creates isolated park margins. On the park’s Dufferin Street edge is an extraordinarily narrow sidewalk, a busy, narrow causeway that passes by the park indifferently.

We proposed a linear perimeter park around Dufferin Grove that could intensify and engage the park’s internal elements. This new perimeter park included a new system of entangled pathways, tree groupings, seating, water features, and a storm water management pond.

Where should new housing in Ontario go? In his la Where should new housing in Ontario go?

In his latest article for the Globe, Alex Bozikovic writes, “The future of the province is in cities. To pave over wetlands is to head in the wrong direction.”

The Un-Avenues are zones where housing intensification should happen. The "Un-Avenues" are those north-south streets like Ossington and Dufferin - those arterials that buses barrel down, those roads that were systematically widened in the early 1950’s to pack in cars, those houses stripped of porches and front yards and street trees. 

The widened right-of-way imposed in the 1950’s can become re-fashioned boulevards of trees, safe cycling lanes, and wide sidewalks.

Learn more about our Un-Avenues research at the link in our bio.
