Build the Park

Build the Park, Move the Layover.

[Build the Park @BuildtheParkTO]

Don't say it can't be done!

A big thank you to the volunteers, community members & organizations who worked together to move the layover, so we can build the park, especially to the signatories who signed our letter.

To be clear: Ontario loses two beloved public treasures, in return for a parking garage and and a spa for the wealthy. When Ford's government is gone, the colossal damage will remain

@drewinning @JoshMatlow Olivia and Josh should work as co-mayors. Each has strengths the other doesn’t and the vote will get split unfortunately.

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

Good choice from Matlow. An absolutely necessary project.

@SwanBoatSteve Would have been a tragedy to build a diesel layover there.

@twieditz @PaulaFletcherTO This does not surprise us.

@alexbozikovic @RobACooper @EdTubb Alex, in our neighborhood, the opposite is happening. South Rosedale. Many large single family homes changing into 3-4 or more apartments.

@Greg88707179 @GraphicMatt @SwanBoatSteve So true Greg. So much for transparency in decision making but we tried many levers - provincial, municipal, federal, media, community advocacy. Hard to know what was the site’s ultimate undoing! Steve Munro pressing the issue certainly helped. Didn’t hurt anyway!

@GraphicMatt Thanks for sharing this great news Matt!

It was my honour to speak on behalf of #DonVallyPark and preserve our precious #urbanparkland in #TO

@asifintoronto @lennonfan69 @Metrolinx @fordnation And the Don Valley. Wait for that one.

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

Our experience @SmallsCreek was very similar. I think as residents of a democracy we are shocked that our words and actions have no impact at all on @Metrolinx which is a fundamentally undemocratic entity. @floyd_ruskin @dontmesswthedon @SaveJimmie

This Saturday bus to Brockville! Tell Minister Steve Clark that affordable housing is a right, wetlands & the Greenbelt are crucial to our future, and he has a duty to consult with First Nations. #Bill23 #ClimateCrisis #UNDRIP #ygk

Cant agree more

While public transit is most necessary, Metrolinx “vandalizing” the city’s cultural, architectural and rare green spaces is criminal.

Standing up for the @osgoode trees and Garden against ⁦@Metrolinx⁩ vandalism, with ⁦Clr @ausmalik⁩ in the wet snow

@SmallsCreek @BradMBradford @marymargaretbey @BuildtheParkTO @SmytheParkTO @glenstewartto @TRCA_HQ @TOtrees @mcfirstnation @Metrolinx Urban forests are so important for healthy cities.

[Build the Park @BuildtheParkTO]

@iamdavidmiller Don’t understand why people don’t get this. So obvious from both housing and transit perspective. Can you please run for Mayor?

[Build the Park @BuildtheParkTO]

@faisal_moola @fordnation In the end we suffer because we rely on nature. We are part of it.
