Confession time. Gate ajar. No one around. Run like hell inside and snap a couple pics. Then get out. No harm no foul. 😀

I think this is proposed as temporary as they have more plans for the whole street:

TE15.40 - Pedestrian Crossing Protection - Leslie Street​

Consideration Type: ACTIONSchedule Type: DelegatedWard: 14 - Toronto - Danforth

Origin​

(June 21, 2024) Report from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services; and the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Recommendations​

The Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services, and the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommend that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover on Leslie Street, at a point approximately 200 metres north of Unwin Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council extend the approval of the temporary traffic control signal on Leslie Street at Unwin Avenue till December 31, 2027, inclusive.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing compulsory stop control for southbound traffic on Leslie Street at Unwin Avenue till December 31, 2027, inclusive.

Summary​

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services recommends the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Leslie Street, approximately 200 metres north of Unwin Avenue. The proposed PXO would provide a controlled crossing across Leslie Street to connect to the new Leslie Lookout Park, which will be opening to the public in summer 2024.

Transportation Services also recommends that the approval for the temporary traffic control signal at the intersection of Leslie Street and Unwin Avenue be extended for an additional two years, until December 31, 2027.

Financial Impact​

The estimated cost for installing a PXO on Leslie Street approximately 200 metres north of Unwin Avenue is $90,000.00. Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2025 Capital Budget.

There is no cost associated with the extension of the approval for a temporary traffic control signal on Leslie Street at Unwin Avenue.

Thanks! The shots from CreateTO show the skyline more clearly. I think that this park is going to be very popular as I was passed by over 100 🚴‍♀️ as I walked along Leslie!

I saw they had been moving the sand around (or had delivered more) when I was cycling past yesterday. It will be popular, at least in summer when TTP is heavily used.
 
I think that it will be interesting to see who gravitates to it as peeps west of the Don will have Villiers Island, those in The Beach have the Boardwalk so this can be for those that live in Leslieville especially south of Queen.

OMG - these black and blue bins are an abomination!

Yes and we have been through this many times. The City wants bins that can be wheeled to their trucks and picked up mechanically and these are the best design they can come up with.. WT had quite 'pretty' bins at one time but they did not fit the City standards so they were replaced.
