Meetings About 555 Dupont and Barton Parking Oct. 9th

This in from Councillor Vaughan's office:

'Public Meeting Notice: 555 Dupont Street

Please join Councillor Vaughan and City Planning staff to review a proposal to amend the proposed commercial use at 555 Dupont Street.

Date: Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Time: 6:00 to 7:00 pm
Location: St Alban's Boys and Girls Club, second floor, Library. 843 Palmerston Ave.

This application, to alter the interior of the former Leal Rental site, was approved by City Council in November 2011. At the time, the approved interior was for several neighbourhood-serving commercial uses, none of which would be larger than 200sq m.  The applicant would like to revisit this approval and ask the community if support exists for a single commercial use.

Public Meeting Notice: Review of Barton Street Pilot re. Mid-Block Staggered Parking

Please join Councillor Vaughan at a meeting to review the mid-block staggered parking pilot on Barton Avenue, from Christie to Bathurst.

Date: Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Time: 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Location: St Alban's Boys and Girls Club, second floor, Library. 843 Palmerston Ave.

It's been a year since the the mid-block parking was installed on Barton Avenue. Please join us to provide your feedback on the pilot. If you're unable to attend, but would like to share your thoughts, please email Areej Hasso of my office at ahasso@toronto.ca or call 416-392-4044."

Discuss Barton Avenue Traffic With Councillor Vaughan on Monday

Does fast traffic on Barton Avenue (west of Bathurst) concern you? Here's an opportunity to do something about it... I found this on the Seaton Village Residents' Association website, which also mentions that an arrest has been made in connection with local B & Es.
Cheers,
Vanessa
"Barton Street Walk – Monday, May 17
This is a reminder that after the compost pick up at 2pm in Vermont Square Park, Councillor Vaughan will lead a walk of Barton Street to find solutions to safety and traffic issues. Information reprinted from Councillor Vaughan’s website (because I can’t figure out how to link!) is below.
The purpose of the walk is to look at creative ways that we can calm traffic on Barton Street in particular so that pedestrians, especially children walking to and from school, will feel safer in their neighbourhood.
Gil Penalosa of 8-80 Cities – a non-profit organization that works with communities around the world to create safe, liveable streets for all – will be joining us to provide his insight and expertise.
Date: Monday, May 17, 2010
Time: 3:00pm
Starting point: Vermont Square Park (meet on the west side of the park – by the compost drop!)
The idea for this walk came out of the Seaton Village traffic meeting that I held in partnership with the Seaton Village Residents’ Association on February 3 of this year. Following the meeting, I promised to arrange for a group of local residents to join me and an expert in the transportation field for a walk along Barton Avenue.
If you are able to attend, please RSVP by contacting my office at: 416-392-4044 or councillor_vaughan@toronto.ca. If you can’t attend and would like to provide ideas or feedback, we would love to hear from you."
Cheers,
Vanessa
