People are overrated. When I lived in New Brunswick I would ride my old Triumph down country roads and not see a soul. Lovely.

Another report/plan for enhancing Allan Gardens is on the agenda for next week's I&E Ctte.
The plan comes from the 'The Friends of Allan Gardens' and is not a complete re-think but a tweaked version of the last iteration from 2018.
The Plan comes in two parts:
and
The latter has more of the detail/action items vs the former which is a bit more history/context/principles.
From the above:
There are other program elements, some more developed than others, if you follow the link.

They forgot to include random tents in the renders.

You're being silly. Besides, no one is tenting on flower beds or the paths. I agree it's a problem, I've outlined some solutions in the past. But this is part of the solution.

The "Proposed Crosswalk" they mention in 4.7 for the "Homewood-Pembroke Allée" appears to be in the process of installation.

Great to see them contemplating expanding the greenhouse - and using the infill is a smart choice. The early design itself is not terribly inspiring - with all the charms of a commercial greenhouse. Personally I don't see any point of preserving the two wings on either side of the Palm House, and they should move the U of T Botany Greenhouse to a central axis that aligns with Palm House on the west side.
And speaking of the Palm House - photos from the city site on the status of the restoration:
Allan Gardens Conservatory Palm House Heritage Building Restoration
The City is restoring the historic Palm House building at Allan Gardens Conservatory. The improvements will include window glazing, glass cladding replacement and functional modernization of the ventilation and air quality systems and controls.

OMG! Such an unexpected pleasure to see the improvements at Allan Gardens! Coupled with the explosion in residents in the immediate area I see a bright future for The Garden District. Taken 28 September.

Beautiful. Now, can we just clear the squatters so downtown east can have its park back?
Just enforce the by-law. 608-13. Unless authorized by permit, no person shall dwell, camp or lodge in a park.
Or move them to Craigleigh Gardens so the Rosedale elites can share in the shanty goodness they helped to create.

Last paragraph of that CBC story:
We can't enforce our way out of this crisis.

Great minds and all that. I guess I had not refreshed my screen.
