These units have been deemed redundant due to the proximity to other units or the disposal of a park. A graphic representation of the playground unit removals is depicted on a city map see Appendix F. The map attached in appendix F also outlines major barriers in the city that would make it difficult for families with young children to cross such as E.C.ROW Expressway, watercourses and train corridors. It provides a good visual representation of where playgrounds are located within the city, their proximity to each other for coverage according to the Official plan as well as proposed removals and replacements.
The map in Appendix F outlines the following:
Barriers for park users:
-
E.C. ROW Express way
