Save Jimmie Simpson

Community group fighting to have the Ontario Line buried in order to save our community's parks, health and well-being.

[Paula Fletcher @PaulaFletcherTO]

Success! Metrolinx has moved the proposed Don Valley Layover facility out of the Valley. Thank you to all the advocates who've spoken up to protect this important natural area.

@alisatweetsmore @Metrolinx @GOExpansion @BradMBradford @PaulaFletcherTO It's not too late. Many more trees slated to be removed by @metrolinx along #OntarioLine and in the Don Valley at proposed train yard. Just like the #GreenBelt & #MZO it appears that developers are calling shots. City is removed from planning decisions at stations.

[Paula Fletcher @PaulaFletcherTO]

With major Ontario Line construction beginning soon and still so many unanswered questions about trees, traffic, business impacts & more I was glad to join with my colleagues @ausmalik and @ChrisMoiseTO to set up a Subcommittee on the OL.

Look out for the first meeting in March.

Please RT Metrolinx vandalism. BUCKET TRUCKS at Osgoode Sat morning. @JoshMatlow @DianneSaxe @ausmalik @normsworld @LawSocietyLSO @TorontoStar @GrangeTO @kristynwongtam @radiobeast66 @CampbellHouseTO What permits do they have? @TorontoPFR @JohnTory @dylan_reid @todd_irvine

[Richard Payne @TOCreditorLaw]

I am filled with sadness whenever I look at the destruction wrought by @Metrolinx in @SmallsCreek . If nothing was going to be done, why not leave the trees alone? @floyd_ruskin @dontmesswthedon @metromorning @torontolife @SierraClub @beynate @BEYbradford @SaveJimmie

@iamdavidmiller The design of the #OntarioLine has no regard for host communities or trees. It's like a runaway train with no conductor. Yes to transit that is well-designed. No to reckless destruction of communities.

[Ceta Ramkhalawansingh @CetaR]

Metrolinx is preparing to remove the trees at Osgoode Hall this weekend. Fencing has been erected and security personnel are already deployed. Come to the vigil: Friday, Feb 3rd 5:30-6:30 PM at Osgoode Hall. Bring signs, candles, ribbons.@metromorning @todd_irvine @dylan_reid

[Dianne Saxe - Toronto City Council Ward 11, UR @DianneSaxe]

Security guards have suddenly appeared in front of the fenced off trees at Osgoode Hall.

Metrolinx may be preparing to destroy these historic trees imminently.

ACTION ALERT! Come if you can. The design of the #OntarioLine has no regard for host communities. It's like a runaway train with no conductor. Yes to transit that is well-designed. No to reckless destruction of communities.

“Paul Young of the Save Jimmie Simpson group said Metrolinx’s amendment to Yonge North sends the right message that the powerful agency can be swayed.”

Metrolinx changed their mind on the Yonge North Subway Ext. Turns out they can build as deep as 50metres in Thornhill, so why not in Riverside + Leslieville? This confirms: the Ontario Line in our ‘hood can + should, be built underground. #BuryTheLine #BuildTransitBetter
