noting that those residents now have a more difficult, extended walk just to get to the grocery store across the street. “Our concern is that the current configuration restricts access to basic services and does not preserve the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. There are also potentially dangerous situations with cars entering and exiting the condo parking garage. The area is full of 'danger' signs, pylons and hoarding. You really can only see the cars just as they're coming to our driveway. We have exchanged over 2,000 emails related to these issues with Metrolinx and other parties in an effort to resolve our concerns.”

Ward 22 Councillor Josh Matlow said residents in his area, including those at 1750 Bayview Avenue, are living on the "front lines" of the new subway construction. “Our community supports the Eglinton Crosstown LRT,” he added. “But we also expect that Metrolinx, their contractors and the City do everything possible to ensure the safety of pedestrians during construction. This cannot be negotiable.” Robinson says, “Metrolinx works closely with local councillors, city staff, Toronto Police Services, traffic and parking enforcement, local residents to monitor and understand the impacts of construction and to mitigate the impacts, where practical. And, we make every effort to ensure that everyone receives up-todate information on construction activities and timing and where they are directly impacted, they are supported. This involves significant outreach and public communication.” Norma Fisher, the president of the condo board, just wants a solution. ■
