On the agenda

As the city filed it

In 1998 as part of the redevelopment at Coxwell and Danforth, a Toronto Parking Authority lot was created, as well as green space, after the soil was remediated.at Rhodes and Danforth. While this green space has been treated like a park, and is maintained by city parks, it has never been formally turned over to the parks department. Nor does it have a proper name. This lovely green space is a true respite on the Danforth, for shoppers, for residents and as a gathering space for picnics, playing and simply as a place to enjoy as one of only two greenspaces along Danforth Ave.

Staff recommended

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to formally assume the green space on the south side of Danforth Avenue between Coxwell Avenue and Rhodes Avenue as a public park and continue to provide regular maintenance and upkeep of the green space. 2. Despite the provisions of the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy, City Council approve the naming of the green space on the south side of Danforth Avenue between Coxwell Avenue and Rhodes Avenue as Coxwell Commons.
