Origin
Summary
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. Therefore, I request your support for the following recommendations.
