@wardFORpeople @MattA_RPP @SarahEDoucette High Park has just under 1.2 million

[Runnymede PS 100th @Runnymede100]

@MattA_RPP @SaveOurVillage @SarahEDoucette “A car-free High Park also aligns with our commitments to Vision Zero, improved urban design and in achieving our climate change goals. I believe that by working together as a community, we can address any short-term challenges this may pose” …
The political objective is clear

[Runnymede PS 100th @Runnymede100]

@MattA_RPP @SaveOurVillage @SarahEDoucette Our councillor wrote on April 6: “We have the opportunity through the HPMS to make improvement to High Park and have a park for our future. Cities around the world are moving in the direction of eliminating private vehicles in parks …

Tommy Thompson former Parks Commissioner was a strong proponent of multiple access for all types of activities like this July 18, 1985 “dance-off” in #HighPark with +500 senior participants. Ban vehicles and you ban active use #TOpoli #TOheritage #CityofTO #Toronto

Here is a photo of ⁦@HighParkBasebal⁩ opening day 2017. Organized youth sports activities were ignored in the online #CityofTO movement survey. How will youth sports survive a 2027 #HighPark vehicle ban? #TOpoli #Toronto #BloorWest #Roncy #TheJunction #baseball #BlueJays

Please sign the petition to “Keep High Park Open to Vehicles” and allow access for youth groups, seniors, sports leagues, zoo visitors, concert and theatre goers and allotment holders #HighPark #Toronto #TOpoli #BloorWest #Roncy #TheJunction #TOheritage https://t.co/7Zy9Do41LB

ICYMI Mr. Poulos is a resident of our ‘hood and a graduate of our schools. Congratulations sir on your victory! The truth still matters! And since we know you are a #HighPark user, please sign our little petition to maintain user access #TOpoli #CityofTO

Sign the petition to Keep High Park Open to Vehicles and allow active families, youth sports, arts and culture to continue to flourish in #HighPark The #CityofTO needs to balance not ban users #Toronto #TOpoli #Bloorwest #Roncy #TheJunction #TOheritage https://t.co/yzoigmWoMw

1) Vehicle access to #HighPark has been managed for 50 years with road closings for events like annual Big Brothers soap box derbies attracting thousands. In 1988 Mayor Eggleton raced. Keep #HighPark open! #CityofTO #Toronto #TOpoli #BloorWest #Roncy #TheJunction #Swansea

[Runnymede PS 100th @Runnymede100]

2) In addition to soccer, hockey & baseball leagues #HighPark is a traditional venue for annual school track and field competitions like this one in October 1979 that require car and bus access from all over #Toronto Let’s be sensible about who uses the Park #TOpoli #CityofTO

[Runnymede PS 100th @Runnymede100]

1) Please sign the petition to Keep High Park Open to Vehicles. The recommendation to close #HighPark access in stages by 2027 will end organized youth sports in the Park as well as arts and cultural activities #Toronto #CityofTO #TOpoli #BloorWest #Roncy https://t.co/7Zy9Do41LB

[Save Our Village @SaveOurVillage]

The #HighPark Movement Strategy has been a flawed process. Sign the petition now to keep the park open for active family uses and follow suggestions to reach #Toronto council: Keep High Park Open to Vehicles · https://t.co/vAFxkVCHL7 #CityofTO #TOpoli https://t.co/yzoigmWoMw

@SarahEDoucette Somewhat related to this … On the Friday night at the beginning of the schools’ March Break I went for a long walk shortly after dinner and was surprised that no one was to be found on either ice pad. And this was all evening (because I doubled back). This is strange

Indoor ventilation, screening & testing, mask wearing and/or physical distancing may play an important role in reducing the risk of #COVID19 transmission in schools. Consult our guidance for public health advice for planning & operating this school year. https://t.co/fZ632BMjNP
