@Paclo is flagged.

I will amend the title.
 
I'm about two years late to the discussion, but regarding the terrible pedestrian realm in this corner of the Beaches, does anyone know this early 2000's infill was built with such a terrible street frontage? The sidewalks appear to be an afterthought or buffer between the townhouses (apartments?) and arterial completely devoid of shade for a good chunk of the day. This was fully understood to be a highspeed roadway so how did the sidewalk get built as if this is a narrow local street in the Annex?

The same issue exists to a lesser extent within the block, as sidewalks (in the classic Toronto fashion) are simply smacked on the edge of proprieties. No separation from vehicle traffic and easy to park on for all your construction needs. Was Toronto really still this bad on urbanism in the early 2000's?

In fairness that pocket was pretty rough at the time. The racetrack was scuzzy, the waste treatment plant was a defining feature of the area, Leslieville was rough, and Lakeshore was effectively a Gardiner off-ramp. It was uncharacteristically nice when it was built out

The City Councillor at the time, pre-amalgamation, was Tom Jakobek.

His intent to connect Eastern Avenue to Kingston Road (done), and then narrow Lakeshore and Woodbine by one lane each way. (never happened). :Jakobek was righwing and not particularly urbanist, he lived in 'Upper Beach' but was Councillor for the area from Danforth southwards (East York was its own thing), and his poitical power base was the Beach.

His intent, frankly was to push that Gardiner traffic onto Kingston Road, and away from the water and the pricier homes.

While my politics is clearly not his, we happen to be in agreement over this idea (tackling Kingston Road was the next problem).....unfortunately the part 2 in his scheme never came to fruition, and I've been unable to get it into a City budget.
