Is the museum open again? Website says closed due to COVID"Toronto Suburban Railway - 1923
On April 14th 1917 the Toronto Suburban Railway's Guelph Line was open for business. The electric interurban railcars ran from Keele and St. Clair in the Junction to the City of Guelph; a distance of around 80km.
This old film footage from 1923 shows a freight locomotive hauling standard steam cars along the Guelph line. This was possibly an excursion for the Orangeman day celebrations. The final stop in the footage appears to be Eldorado Park in Brampton.
The T.Sub.R. gradually shut down its routes until lastly the Guelph line in 1931. The company was closed and the rail lines and bridges were ripped up.
Our museum was built on part of the old suburban Guelph line, near Rockwood, Ontario. Come out to the HCRR to learn more about Ontario's electric railway history!
This footage is from British Pathé's youtube channel."

Creeks are used as a natural flood management system as they reduce the flow of water prior to it reaching larger waterways.
They offer a sustainable approach to managing and reducing the impacts of floods. Creek networks are very beneficial to the environment and provide the functions necessary for species and habitats to thrive.
Not sure if this under the contractor control or the city, but most trees were cut down last week when I shot the area..Interesting comments in the article about flood control...
Especially when one of the major causes of flooding is shown in the article...
Parking lots, vast single-story buildings, and W-I-D-E roads are a major source of rainfall runoff, causing flooding downstream. The rainfall has to go someplace, usually the lowest point of in the landscape, in this case the creek.

This could be under Metrolinx control to the point the creek will be encase to allow parking or development on top of it.
Even though they cut down the trees beside the creek, there are trees standing inside of the creek that are small.
The tunnel and ramp area for the LRT is on the east side of the creek in the first place with the base almost the same level of the creek level. Encasing the creek in that area prevents any flooding of the LRT line.
Depending on the parking structure, will this north parking area be needed??
As part of revitalizing the creek bed, contractors will remove invasive vegetation species, such as Manitoba Maple to help native species thrive. Crews will then replant more trees in order to enhance local biodiversity, as part of Metrolinx’s landscape plan.
Can't wait to have a coffee at the cafe overlooking scenic Steeles Ave W. Trying to rehabilitate our traffic sewers seems like an exercise in futility. Steeles is an 8 lane highway here, with heavy truck traffic that is not going away (this is the main distribution cluster for the GTA). Why don't we let our traffic sewers be traffic sewers and treat them as periphery instead of the centre.
Approx location of the cafe in the in the plan above, looking east. Try to enjoy your macchiato and scone while being serenaded by engine brakes from the trucks trundling by.
