Tourist: July 6, 2008

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:30:00 GMT

Whether we like it or not, some of us will be in Toronto all summer, with nary a trip or vacation elsewhere in sight. As a remedy, we've created Tourist. Every weekend morning, bright and early, of the summer we're featuring a photo (or two) from a globe-trotting photographer in the Torontoist Flickr Pool.

South Kingsway - Queensway intersection on EYCC agenda: July 7th

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 08:22:00 GMT

On July 7th, 2008 the Etobicoke York Community Council will consider the future of the 1950's era cloverleaf interchange of the South Kingsway and The Queensway. The plan they are considering however, though looks more like the past than the future. The interchange will remain intact with a few workarounds to attempt to address the safety issues and barriers faced by pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. A local citizen's organization T.U.R.N Toronto Urban Renewal Network lead by Marty Collier is working to see that doesn't happen and that the reconstruction of this intersection is in keeping with the change in direction our city has to make from a car centric urban infrastructure to one that will allow and encourage Torontonians to travel by bike, on foot and by transit.

The 1950's design creates many safety and access problems for cyclists, pedestrians and transit users as shown in this City of Toronto document posted on T.U.R.N's web site Pedestrian and Cyclist Access / Safety Concerns. This document was prepared as part of an Environmental assesment of the interchange. The result of that assessment was an alternative design that would address these issues. Known as the Link Road it was the technically preferred alternative among those studied and would result in removing 3 of the existing ramps, creating an at grade signaled intersection and improving conditions for cyclists, pedestrians and transit users. This alternative has been taken off the table and the current plan being considered will see city funds spent to resurface the ramps to extend their life.

T.U.R.N. is mobilizing people to get involved and support a redesign of the intersection that will be in keeping with the direction the City of Toronto is headed as described in its Official Plan, Climate Change Plan, Bike Plan and other local planning initiatives. You can see how you can get involved at their web page EYCC meeting July 7th, 2008.

It is interesting to note that just recently City Council voted to take the first steps in taking down some other 1950's style infrastructure, the eastern end of the Gardiner Expressway and the York street off ramp. Toronto Star:Ramp may be revamped - June 27, 2008. If the Councillors on the Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC) vote to take the Queensway Kingsway off ramp back to the '50s, it will be intersting to see whether Mayor David Miller and City Council will endorse this decision or ensure the entire city continues on the road to a more sustainable, less car dependent future.

From there we walked north to Queen Street East (I’m there rarely) and walked until Queen (West) and Spadina.

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:40:51 GMT

Despite a good effort to get up early, I slept in. I had slept like a log, but still didn’t feel well rested when I got up - this altitude thing is getting to me more then I expected. At least I hadn’t fallen prey to the head-splitting headaches that many with even less altitude tolerance fall prey to - I can at least deal with lethargy. After a good breakfast I walked back to the shop to check on the truck. The good news: It was ready. The bad news: The bill was horrendous. The worse news:

A little breath of life

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:06:14 GMT

Join I grow several different types of roses in my garden and while I consider several of them favorites I think that this rose, Breath of Life, is perhaps my most favorite rose. I’m not sure if it’s the pale peach to light orange blooms or it’s delicate perfection that draws me to this rose. I just think it’s beautiful. Almost every bloom I’ve ever seen this plant produce has been lovely. I placed this tall rose at the entrance to my backyard mainly because of it’s name. Breath of Lif

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:52:48 GMT

Join I’m nuts about roses. I certainly have enough of them growing in my garden to support that statement! I have 60+ rose bushes! Other than caring for roses and looking at their lovely blooms the next best thing for me is taking pictures of them. Especially ones like the photo above. Isn’t that rose just delicious? This is one of my new roses. Remember I lost several roses last winter (2006/2007)? It was a cold winter here, but we had very little snow cover that year so the roses and

RV Adventure, Day 20: Second full day (stranded) in Yellowstone National Park

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:25:24 GMT

Yep, Beautiful weather, again. The only moisture to be seen was what the RV parks sprinkler system had deposited on the side of our trailer through the overnight hours. I planned on being at the garage bright and early with the hope that they could get started on the truck ASAP and hopefully (if their estimate held true) have us back on the road by noon-ish. I dropped it off, and walked back to the RV park which was actually only about 10 minutes away. Since we were going to be stranded in to

Even the usual morning coffee just couldn’t seem to wake me up. I remember reading that some people are effected differently by the altitude of much of Yellowstone, and given some of the massive elevation changes over the last few days (being at sea-level only a few days ago) it seems that I might be falling prey to at least the

Ryan to wake up and realize he’s pitching. Usually, he’s acceptably perfect, but tonight he’s a little shaky. That’s okay, I believe in him. 7-5 and a double play, emptying the bases. That’s alright by me. My feet are itchy from mosquito bites I got a few days ago. Feet and hands are two of the worst places to get mosquito bite

Me thinks it’ll be in Oakville at Arnolds, although I hope it’s not. Might be a bit hard to get to for the Toronto heads like myself. Still, can’t really complain, as it stands Dannys new album is probably one of the best released in a very long time. Every tune is consistently great with
