The TTC is upgrading Summerhill Station for accessibility, causing ongoing roadblocks
and pedestrian safety concerns around the new entrance. The SRA meets with the TTC
monthly to address the above issues, minimize disruptions to the neighborhood, and to
ensure the project stays on track for completion by the end of 2025.
With many proposed and active projects in and around our area, we continue to actively
monitor development, working closely with city planners to address local concerns. The
SRA is meeting with the city every 4–6 weeks, staying ahead of changes and advocating
for thoughtful growth. We engage with developers to push for aesthetic improvements,
lower heights, and reasonable density. As a founding member of FONTRA, a coalition of
30+ North Toronto residents' associations, we remain a strong voice on planning, the
Committee of Adjustment, and transportation.
The SRA collaborates with the Midtown Ravines Group and the Vale of Avoca Working
Group to enhance ravine quality through stewardship and cleanups. We work closely
with Parks Toronto, reporting necessary repairs and services to keep our green spaces
well-maintained. The SRA is supporting the creation and design of a new public
parkette on Jackes Avenue. Additionally, the SRA is advocating with developers for the
creation of a park between Woodlawn Avenue and Summerhill Avenue.
The SRA remains committed to working with the City of Toronto, TTC, and Toronto
Police to enhance neighborhood safety. We educate residents about crime prevention
and keeping the community informed of local incidents.
The SRA is committed to supporting community initiatives and events to strengthen
Summerhill’s signature neighborly spirit!
