4 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 1 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page INTRODUCTION Transit City Group (TCG) retained Unterman McPhail Associates to conduct a cultural heritage landscape and built heritage assessment on behalf of the TTC for the planning and preliminary design study for the study corridor from Martin Grove Road in the west along to Kennedy Road in the east. The report includes the associated study corridor. The study follows the Ontario s Transit Project Assessment process (TPA) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings (Transit Projects Regulation). The transit project assessment process applies to selected transit projects as identified in the regulation and exempts other transit projects from the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The process under the regulation requires public sector proponents to assess negative impacts of their chosen transit project, identify appropriate mitigation measures and to undertake consultation. Proponents must also make available any information or documentation done for any preplanning work undertaken which lead them to select the transit project. This Cultural Heritage Assessment Report (CHAR) forms part of the Environmental Project Report (EPR). Figure 2: Location of Eglinton Crosstown LRT Study Corridor, City of Toronto [TTC, 2009]. Ultimately the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, which is approximately 31 kilometres in length, will run from Kennedy TTC Station in the east to the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in the west. For the Martin Grove Road to Kennedy Road section it is proposed that the LRT will operate at surface in the centre of from Martin Grove Road to Black Creek and from Leslie Street to Kennedy Road. It is proposed the route will be underground between Keele Street and Leslie Street. 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT & CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES Figure 1: Location of Study Corridor, City of Toronto [TTC, 2009]. The need for the identification, evaluation, management and conservation of Ontario's heritage is acknowledged as an essential component of environmental assessment and municipal planning in Ontario. For the most part, the analysis of cultural heritage resources in the study area addresses those above-ground, person-made heritage resources over 40 years old. The application of this rolling forty year principle is an accepted federal and provincial practice for the preliminary identification of cultural heritage resources that may be of heritage value. Its application does not imply however that all built heritage resources or cultural heritage

5 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 3 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 4 landscapes that are over forty years old are worthy of the same levels of protection or preservation. 2.1 Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) Environmental assessments are undertaken under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The EAA provides for the protection, conservation and wise management of Ontario s environment. It defines environment in a broad sense that includes natural, social, cultural, economic and built environments. This broad definition of the environment makes the assessment of the impact of the undertaking on cultural heritage resources part of the standard environmental assessment process in Ontario. Environmental assessments made under the EAA therefore assess and address the impact of the undertaking on cultural heritage resources. The analysis throughout the study process addresses that part of the Environmental Assessment Act, subsection 1(c), which defines environment to include:...cultural conditions that influence the life of humans or a community ; as well as, any building, structure, machine or other device or thing made by humans. Infrastructure undertakings such as transit improvements may potentially affect cultural heritage resources in a number of ways. The effects may include displacement through removal or demolition and/or disruption by the introduction of physical, visual, audible or atmospheric elements that are not in keeping with the character of the cultural heritage resources and, or their setting. 2.2 Transit Projects Regulation (Ontario Regulation 231/08) The Transit Projects Regulation (Ontario Regulation 231/08) of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) came into effect June 24. It exempts most transit projects such as subway, bus route, intermodal hub, etc., from the conventional environmental assessment. Major transit projects will undergo a compressed, six-month approval process, which starts after the proponent decides the type and location of the project. Transit projects are now exempt from public consultation through the Environmental Bill of Rights. The transit project assessment process applies to selected transit projects as identified in the regulation and exempts other transit projects from the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The process under the regulation requires public sector proponents to assess negative impacts of their chosen transit project, identify appropriate mitigation measures and to undertake consultation. Proponents must also make available any information or documentation done for any pre-planning work undertaken which lead them to select the transit project. Proponents are required to complete an Environmental Project Report (EPR) to document the results of the process and the consultation undertaken. Regulated timelines apply to the six month process. Once EPR is complete, members of the public and others have an opportunity to submit an objection to the Minister about the project if there are negative impacts on a matter of provincial importance or an Aboriginal right. The Minister may give notice allowing a project to proceed (with or without conditions) or may require further study. If the Minister is not satisfied that additional information addresses the identified matter of provincial importance or the Aboriginal rights issue, then the Minister may require the proponent to complete an individual EA for the project. Section 10 (1) references cultural heritage: If, at any time during the 120-day period referred to in subsection 6 (2), the proponent is of the opinion that the transit project may have a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has cultural heritage value or interest, or on a constitutionally protected aboriginal or treaty right, the proponent may give written notices describing the issue to the Director of the Ministry s Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch and the appropriate regional director of the Ministry. O. Reg. 231/08, s. 10 (1). 2.2 Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) The OHA gives the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MTC), formerly the Ministry of Culture, the responsibility for the conservation, protection and preservation of Ontario s culture heritage resources. Section 2 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) charges the Minister with the responsibility to,...determine policies, priorities and programs for the conservation, protection and preservation of the heritage of Ontario. The Ministry of Tourism and Culture describes heritage buildings and structures, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources as cultural heritage resources. Since cultural heritage resources may be impacted adversely by both public and private land development, it is incumbent upon planning and approval authorities to consider heritage resources when making planning decisions. Heritage attributes, in relation to a property, are defined in the OHA as the attributes of the property that cause it to have cultural heritage value or interest. Part IV of the OHA enables municipalities to list, and to designate by by-law properties of cultural value or

6 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 5 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 6 interest after consultation with its municipal advisory committee, if one is appointed. Under OHA subsection 27 (1), the municipal clerk is required to keep a current register of properties of cultural heritage value or interest located in their municipality. The municipal register must include all properties designated under Part IV of the OHA by the municipality or by the Minister of Tourism and Culture. Municipal designation of heritage resources under Part IV the OHA publicly recognizes and promotes awareness of heritage properties, provides a process for ensuring that changes to a heritage property are appropriately managed and that these changes respect the property s heritage value. This includes protection from demolition. Once a property has been designated and notice has been given to the Ontario Heritage Trust, the property is then listed on the provincial register of heritage properties. The alteration process under the OHA section 33 helps to ensure the heritage attributes of a designated property, and therefore its heritage value, are conserved. If an owner of a designated property wishes to make alterations to the property that affects the property s heritage attributes, the owner must obtain written consent from the council. This applies not only to the alteration of the buildings or structures but also to alterations of other aspects of the designated property, such as landscape features or natural features, which have been identified as heritage attributes. The OHA subsection 27 (1.2) also allows a property that is not designated, but considered to be of cultural heritage interest or value by the municipal council, to be placed on the register. This is commonly referred to as listing. In many cases, listed (non-designated properties) are candidates for designation protection under OHA section 29. Once a property is listed under the OHA, any application to demolish the building on a listed property is delayed for 60 days under OHA 27(3). 2.3 Ministry of Tourism and Culture The Minister of Tourism and Culture (MTC), formerly the Minister of Culture, is responsible for the administration of the Ontario Heritage Act and is responsible for determining policies, priorities and programs for the conservation, protection and preservation of Ontario s heritage, which includes cultural heritage landscapes, built heritage and archaeological resources. MTC guidelines assist in the assessment of cultural heritage resources as part of an environmental assessment. They are, Guideline for Preparing the Cultural Heritage Component of Environmental Assessments (October 1992), and, Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental Assessments (1980). The Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental Assessments state: When speaking of man-made heritage we are concerned with works of man and the effects of his activities in the environment rather than with moveable human artifacts or those environments that are natural and completely undisturbed by man. The guidelines state one may distinguish broadly between two basic ways of visually experiencing cultural heritage resources in the environment, that is, as cultural heritage landscapes and as built heritage. Cultural heritage landscapes are a geographical area perceived as a collection of individual person-made built heritage resources set into a whole such as historical settlements, farm complexes, waterscapes, roadscapes, railways, etc. They emphasize the interrelationship of people and the natural environment and convey information about the processes and activities that have shaped a community. Cultural heritage landscapes may be organically evolved landscapes as opposed to designed landscapes. Some are continuing landscapes, which maintain the historic use and continue to evolve, while others are relict landscapes where the evolutionary process has come to an end but important landscape or built heritage resources from its historic use are still visible. Built heritage comprises individual, person-made or modified, parts of a cultural heritage landscape such as buildings or structures of various types including, but not limited to, cemeteries, planting and landscaping structures, etc. The guidelines also describe the attributes necessary for the identification and evaluation of any discrete aggregation of person-made features or cultural heritage landscapes and the attributes necessary for the identification and evaluation of built heritage resources. 3.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY 3.1 Introduction For the purposes of this built heritage resource and cultural heritage landscape assessment Unterman McPhail Associates undertook the following tasks: o the identification of major historical themes and activities of the study area through historical research and a review of topographical and historical mapping; o the identification of built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes within and adjacent to the study area through major historical themes and activities, historical mapping and a review of the municipal heritage inventories and municipal heritage registers;

A judge and sheriff were appointed for each one. Quebec was subsequently split into Upper and Lower Canada in When John Graves Simcoe became the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada he subdivided the four districts into 19 counties for the purpose of parliamentary representation and military organization. The County of York was one of the original counties established in In the same year the districts were renamed. The Township of York and the Township of Scarborough were included within the County of York in the Home District, formerly Nassau District.

8 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 9 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 10 A row of eleven townships was laid out in 1791 along Lake Ontario in a westerly direction from the Trent River. The future Etobicoke, York and Scarborough formed the three most westerly townships. Augustus Jones, Deputy Provincial Surveyor, undertook the initial survey along the fronts of the townships of Etobicoke, York and Scarborough in Mr. Aitkin assisted in Etobicoke Township. Additional work was carried out in subsequent years to complete the surveys. A significant impetus to growth in the region came in 1796 with Simcoe s selection of York as the new capital of Upper Canada. Simcoe erected the defences at Fort York, laid out a nearby town site, built a sawmill on the Humber River and undertook the construction of Yonge Street from York to Lake Simcoe for military purposes. Etobicoke was first surveyed in The mapping of the township was carried out in intervals over a number of years until The northern part of Township of Etobicoke was surveyed in concessions running north-south, the western three concessions being numbered, and the eastern ones referred to as A, B, and C. The southern portion was surveyed into smaller rows of concessions, some numbered from west to east and others running north to south. The Humber River formed the boundary between Etobicoke and York Townships. The Township of York originally encompassed all of the land between Victoria Park Avenue in the east, the Humber River in the west, Lake Ontario in the south and Steeles Avenue in the north. Three southern concessions were surveyed parallel to Humber Bay in The rest was surveyed with concessions set 1- miles apart, extending east to west. Yonge Street formed the centre north-south concession line within the township and concessions were numbered east and west from Yonge Street. Road allowances were provided between concessions at every fifth lot. Yonge Street was opened as far as Sheppard Avenue by May 1794 and completed to Lake Simcoe by February Lots laid out on either side of Yonge Street were offered as free land grants to potential settlers providing the specified settlement duties were met. The Township of Scarborough was surveyed into nine concessions although the four southerly ones were incomplete on account of the irregular lakeshore. From south to north they were designated A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The fifth concession was only one-third of the full width. Lots were numbered from 1 to 35 from east to west across the township. Road allowances were provided between concessions and every second lot. Generally settled in the early1800s, the three York County townships were transformed by mid century into agricultural landscapes with small hamlets and villages. Early settlement focused on Yonge Street within the Township of York. With the outbreak of the War of 1812, Yonge Street was quickly improved to facilitate the movement of troop supplies. After the war, land was taken up throughout Etobicoke, York and Scarborough Townships. By the mid 1820s, stagecoaches travelled up and down Yonge Street on a regular basis. Settlement in Etobicoke was very sparse during the early 1800s. Settlements grew up around the mills situated along the Humber River, including John Scarlett's mills on both the east and west bank of the Humber post 1830; the two mills owned by John Dennis, northeast corner of Eglinton and Humber River, 1801; the Scarlett-Canning Mill on the west bank of the Humber east of Scarlett Road above Eglinton, 1831; as well as the mills at Weston. The principal 19th century roads linking Etobicoke to York were Dundas Street and Scarlett's Road. Dundas Street was opened as a principal transportation route from York to the west in the 1790s, and was extended to Lambton Mills on the Humber River, then into Etobicoke Township and westward to Toronto Township in Peel County and onward to southwestern Ontario. An Aboriginal trail, know referred to as The Toronto Carrying Place/Humber Trail ran along the Humber River from Lake Ontario to the upper Great Lakes and the north and became a shortcut to the upper Great Lakes for traders, explorers, and missionaries. Scarlett Road was named for local mill owner John Scarlett who settled in the area during the 1820s and built a mill on the west bank of the Humber River in 1821 just south of the Richview Sideroad. Yonge Street was built as a military road from Lake Ontario to Penetanguishene on the Great Lakes by Lt-Governor John Graves Simcoe, formed the centre north-south concession line within York Township. It was opened as far as Sheppard Avenue by May 1794 and completed to Lake Simcoe by February or the Base Line ran east and west from Yonge Street along the road allowances between the concessions in York Township. Weston Road was surveyed from Dundas Street to the site of Weston on the Humber River in the early 1800s and then extended into Vaughan Township between 1810 and It was acquired by the Weston Plank Road Company in 1841, construction began in 1846 and toll gates were built. In the 1850s, the road became the responsibility of the municipalities. Scarlett Road was opened cross-country from Dundas Street to the Scarlett s Mils on the Humber just south of soon after the mill opened in the early 1830s. Smith s Canadian Gazetteer (1846) described Etobicoke, York and Scarborough as townships in the Home District. Etobicoke Township had 24,934 acres of land taken up with 12,516 acres under cultivation. York Township had 55,236 acres of land taken up with 24,238 acres under cultivation. Scarborough Township had 38,709 acres occupied with 16,083 acres under cultivation. 1 For agricultural purposes the land was considered less fertile adjacent to Lake Ontario, but it improved considerably to the north with mixed 1 Wm. H. Smith, Smith s Canadian Gazetteer (Toronto: H & W. Rowsell, 1846) 57, 167 and 225.

Etobicoke, York and Scarborough were described as well settled; York and Scarborough had many good farms. Etobicoke had five gristmills and nine saw mills in the township; York had eight gristmills and 35 sawmills, and Scarborough had one gristmill and 18 sawmills. 2 Etobicoke s population in 1842 was 2,467 people; York s population 5,720 and that of Scarborough 2, The City of Toronto, incorporated in 1834, was situated in the south of the Township of York. West of Dufferin Street the Base Line or was still a wagon track in 1850, although it was an important road allowance in the township survey. It stopped abruptly at the Humber River at Dennison's Mill. The route picked up on the west side of the Humber River in Etobicoke Township and ran as an east-west concession road to Toronto Township in Peel County. Vaughan Road was built c1850 along a trail used by the First Nations from Yonge Street along Davenport Road to Bathurst Street and northwesterly along the alignment of Vaughan Road to Dufferin Street. The Rottenburg (c1850) and the Browne & Ellis map of York Township (1851) both show Weston Road and the Yorkville and Vaughan Road as plank roads, Scarlett Road as an improved road with a bridge over the Humber River at Scarlett s Mills, the Base Line or Eglinton Avenue as a generally unsettled concession road and Old Forest Hill Road running northwesterly from Davenport Road to Bathurst Street along an earlier trail. The Yonge Street population concentration was located at Yonge Street and. Tremaine s map (1860) shows the same road configuration. The north-south sideroads of Jane Street, Keele Street, Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street were opened by the mid 1850s in York Township. The north-south sideroads of Bayview Avenue and Victoria Park Road, Warden Avenue and Kennedy Road to the east of Yonge Street into Scarborough Township were opened by the mid 1850s as the Township of York and Scarborough were settled. Tremaine s map of York County (1860) shows a settled rural landscape with a welldeveloped network of local roads, numerous farms and scattered villages and hamlets with mills, schoolhouses and churches in Etobicoke, York and Scarborough Townships. The Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railroad was built in a north-south direction through York Township near Caledonia Road in 1853, and later it became the Northern Railway, the Grand Trunk and the Canadian National Railway (CN). The Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of York (1878) shows the Grand Trunk Railway running from Toronto through York Township to Weston, through Etobicoke to Malton in Peel County and beyond. The Credit Valley Railway (CVR) was incorporated in February 1871 to construct a line from Toronto north to Orangeville via Streetsville as competition to the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. Surveys were undertaken in 1873, and construction began in However, due to financial problems, the first section of the line from Parkdale, which was located on the outskirts of Toronto, to Milton was not opened until 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid It ran to Lambton Mills and then southward through York County to Peel County and was sold to Canadian Pacific Railway in The suburban Belt Line Railway was built in the 1890s as a commuter railway line to service and promote the new suburban neighbourhoods north of the Toronto limits. It ran north of West from Yonge Street westward to stations at Forest Hill, Fairbanks and before travelling southward to Union Station along the existing CN line west at Caledonia Road. The population in Etobicoke Township increased steadily in the 19 th century reaching a population of 2,985 people in 1871; it was regarded as one of the best agricultural townships in the Province. 4 The township map in the Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of York (1878) shows an well-established agricultural landscape with many farm complexes, small hamlets and villages and an established local road system. In 1885, Etobicoke Township had many farms fenced in a first-class style, rail and board fences and three-quarters of the houses and outbuildings on the farms were constructed of brick, stone or as first class frame buildings. 5 In the neighbouring Township of York, the population grew steadily and more rapidly than Etobicoke and Scarborough in the 1800s reaching 8,502 people by the 1871 Census and 13,748 by the 1881 Census. 6 The growth of the City of Toronto contributed to this sharp increase in population as a result of the suburban development of lands within the township for overflow city population. The township map in the Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of York (1878) shows an well-established agricultural landscape with farm complexes, mills, numerous hamlets and villages and an established local road system in the northern part of the township outside of Toronto. Nearly five-sixths of the 60,923 acres of occupied land was improved for crops, pasture and orchards and gardens.. 7 In 1885, the Township of York was reported as having one half the farms under first-class fencing, and two-thirds of the houses and outbuildings built of stone, brick or first-class frame. 8 Prospect Cemetery opened in 1890 on the south side of West between McRoberts Avenue and Harvie Avenue. In 1899 the township side roads through to Weston Road at Mount Dennis were officially named. By 1850, Scarborough had three gristmills and 18 sawmills and a population of 3,821 people. 9 The population of 4,615 in 1871 had decreased to 4,208 by 1881 as a result of emigration to the west.

By 1881, 36,225 acres of the 43,634 occupied were improved. 10 The Township of Scarborough was further described as having about half the land is under first-class fences, the material employed being generally rails and posts, two-thirds of the houses built in brick, stone or first-class frame and the remaining one-third being log or inferior frame, two-thirds of the outbuildings are also reckoned first-class. 11 The southern part of Etobicoke Township was developed more readily in the early 20 th century, while the northern part remained rural and agricultural in character with a few small hamlets. Richview Side Road with a hamlet of Richview located at Martin Grove Road ran between the western township boundary and the Humber River. The Humber Valley Survey of Home Smith & Co. was developed on both sides of between Islington Avenue and Royal York Road in the early 20 th century. Until post W.W. II remained largely undeveloped in Etobicoke, with the exception of the Home Smith lands. Highway 27 north of Eglinton was an unopened road allowance until it was built north to south through the western part of Etobicoke in Increased urbanization in the area during the 1950s, the expropriation of land for the construction of Highway 401 and the Malton Airport, the construction of Highway 427 and the rapid growth of large residential suburban areas resulted in the agricultural demise in Richview. In the early 20 th century York Township continued to be reduced in area with the incorporation of the Town of North Toronto on Yonge Street in 1912 and several years later, the incorporation of the Township of North York in The Village of Forest Hill was incorporated in 1923, the Township of York in 1924, and the Town of Leaside in The Township of North York took in part of the northern section of York Township, separating the agricultural areas in the northern part from the residential development is south of West. The Canadian Pacific built a line that ran from the Toronto Junction eastward and then in a northwesterly direction east of Yonge Street to the east side of Leslie Street at Eglinton Avenue before it crossed the West Branch of the Don River. The Canadian Northern Ontario Railway was built west of Don Mills Road along the Don River in The area north of in York Township was still largely open farmland with scattered settlements in the early 1900s. was improved between of Dufferin Street and the Kodak Company to the west at Mount Dennis in 1916, but still did not cross the Humber River into Etobicoke Township. The road remained essentially rural in character outside of the communities of Mount Dennis at Weston Road and 10 Ibid. 11 Ibid, 110. Fairbanks at Dufferin Street until W. W. II. Subdivision of land for residential estates south of West increased in the 1920s. The intersection of Keele Street and West experienced some development in the early 20 th century, principally south of West and on the northeast corner of the intersection. York Memorial Collegiate Institute was built in a rural setting on the north side of West to the west of Keele Street in The school's name was a tribute to former local students who had died as soldiers during the World War I. West between Keele Street to the Allan Road developed in the mid 20 th century as a commercial and residential area. The area around West between Gilbert Street and Oakwood Avenue received a development boost in the early 20 th century due to the Oakwood Street Railway, part of the Township of York Railway Company, which ran along. The Oakwood Line (1924) ran from St. Clair to Eglinton and then west to Gilbert Street on Eglinton just west of Prospect Cemetery. By building the street railway west along West from Oakwood Avenue to the new industries established on the Canadian Northern Railway and the Belt Line, York Township's growth in the west part was determined for the next two decades. Housing sprang up within walking distance of the railway. More commercial development occurred post World War II east of Vaughan Road to the Allen Road. The Beth Sholom congregation built a synagogue in 1947 just east of Marlee Street. The Spadina Expressway from Highway 401 was completed as far south as West in 1969, and renamed Allen Road in The Eglinton West TTC station was built at Allen Road in 1978 as part of the subway extension from St. George Station to Wilson Avenue. The commercial district on West between Allen Road and Bathurst Street, now referred to as "Eglinton West Village", emerged in the 1950s as a commercial streetscape with some low-rise apartment buildings. The area between Bathurst Street to Bayview Avenue along was located in the City of Toronto prior to amalgamation. From Bathurst Street east to Spadina Road low-rise apartment buildings were built from the 1930s to the 1950s. The Village of Forest Hill, named after the summer residence of John Wickson built on a hill at the junction of West and Old Forest Hill Road in 1860, was incorporated as a village in Its municipal boundaries stretched along West with the north side from Avon Avenue to Bathurst Street in the village. From Bathurst Street to just past Spadina Road both sides of West were within the village and then only the south side eastward to Elmsthorpe Avenue. Forest Hill's building codes and bylaws in the 1920's and 1930 s required an architect design houses. Lower Forest Hill south of Eglinton was developed by the 1930's. The Forest Hill Fire Station was built in Upper Forest Hill did not really develop until the 1950s and 1960s due to the presence of the Belt Line railway and industry. The Forest Hill Public Library and Forest

On West between Chaplin Crescent and Yonge Street, the Art Deco Eglinton Theatre was built in The City of Toronto bought Eglinton Park in 1926 as the "North Toronto Athletic Field" and renamed the field Eglinton Park in The former town of North Toronto located at the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue West was annexed by the City of Toronto in Development along Eglinton Avenue accelerated after this annexation and the area was completely developed by the 1940's. East of the intersection of Yonge Street, East developed in the 1920s and 1930s as a residential streetscape with some commercial development at intersections as far east as Bayview Avenue. East stopped at Leslie Street and there was no through road into Scarborough Township along this route until the mid 1950s. Scarborough Township generally continued in agricultural use with a network of small hamlets supporting the rural population. Mid 20 th century topographic maps depict the largely rural landscape of Etobicoke and Scarborough Townships and the increasingly urban area of York Township north of. In the second half of the 20 th century, after World War II, the more rural areas of the Townships of Etobicoke, York, North York and Scarborough underwent a dramatic change. The population of Etobicoke, York, North York and Scarborough increased tremendously in the second half of the 20 th century. Topographic maps (1964 and 1979) clearly depict the rapid urbanization of the Etobicoke, York and Scarborough. The return of service personal after World War II, combined with an influx of new immigrants, contributed to a period of growth and expansion. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was incorporated on April 15, 1953, uniting Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough along with other municipalities under a common government. Young families embraced the suburbs and the townships planned aggressively for businesses and industries to balance the growing residential tax base. The first shopping centres were built in the 1950s, apartment buildings, first low-rise followed by high-rise buildings, were built around newly developed arterial roads and highways. In Etobicoke, residential subdivisions and commercial plazas were built in the 1950s and 1960s along West as the northern part of Etobicoke was urbanized. Richview Collegiate was built at and Islington Avenue in 1958, Martingrove Collegiate at Martingrove Road was built in the mid 1960s, and Richview Plaza in the late 1960s to the east of Kipling Avenue to service the new subdivisions. Increased urbanization in Etobicoke during the 1950s, the expropriation of land for the construction of Highway 401 and the Malton Airport, the construction of Highway 427 and the rapid growth of large residential suburban areas resulted in the agricultural demise of the township. Etobicoke Township became the Borough of Etobicoke in Highway 427 was built along the route of Highway 27 in the 1970s. The 19 th century Richview Cemetery was isolated on the south side of West at the Highway 427/Highway 401 interchange at this time. The borough was reincorporated as a city in In post W.W. II York Township, the area around Keele Street and in York Township experienced some development post W. W. II, and in 1950 it became the site of the former York Municipal Offices. The York Township Cenotaph was opened in 1958, and the Centennial Museum building was opened between York Memorial and the York Municipal offices in More post W.W. II commercial development occurred east of Vaughan Road to the Allen Road in York Township. The Beth Sholom congregation built a synagogue in 1947 just east of Marlee Street. In 1967, York Township absorbed Weston and became the Borough of York, later known as the City of York. North York became the Borough of North York in 1967, and on February 14, 1979, the City of North York. At Yonge Street, the TTC established the Eglinton Subway Station at the intersection in 1954 as its northern point. Several bus and trolley bus routes converged on this station to connect with the subway and a large, multi-platform bus terminal with nine parallel bus platforms was built on the southwest corner of the intersection. Platform 10, which was built outside the paid fare area on the west side of the site on Duplex Avenue, was brought into the fare-paid area in The terminal was later expanded to include Platforms 11, 12 and 13. The site also housed the Eglinton garage, formerly the Eglinton carhouse. With the arrival of the subway, the intersection was redeveloped with office and residential towers, and shopping centres. In the 1960s, large scale development took place along of around Yonge Street with apartment blocks like 300 East by Uno Prii (1964), and high-rise office towers. Canada Square, was opened in stages starting in The Yonge-Eglinton Centre was opened on the northwest corner of the intersection in stages in 1974 and Metropolitan Toronto was created as a governmental level in 1954 and it included Etobicoke, York, North York and Scarborough. Metro Toronto undertook several improvements on West in the 1950s and 1960s including its extension over the Humber River into Etobicoke on the west and over the Don River into Scarborough to the east in 1956, improvements to the east of Weston Road in the mid 1960s with the replacement of the CN grade separation track with a rail overhead structure and the construction of retaining walls on either side of, a new road bridge over West to provide access to the Kodak Plant, and a new road bridge over Black Creek in With the extension of to the west into Etobicoke, Metro Toronto took over the rural road of the Richview Side Road

12 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 17 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 18 between Highway 427 to the Humber River as its route. At the time, Metro Toronto set aside land on both sides of the West for expansion or an expressway. In the west, Black Creek Drive was developed in the 1970s as part of the Province s Highway 400 Extension that was to run south to the Gardiner Expressway. After the project was abandoned, the extension was referred to as the Northwest Arterial Road. When completed in 1982, it was named Black Creek Drive. The Spadina Expressway from Highway 401 was completed as far south as Eglinton Avenue West in 1969, and renamed Allen Road in The Eglinton West TTC station was built at Allen Road in 1978 as part of the subway extension from St. George Station to Wilson Avenue. In the 1950s, a commercial district on West between Allen Road and Bathurst Street, was developed with some low-rise apartment buildings. To the east, the IBM plant was built in 1950 on the west side of Don Mills Road just north of East when East was under construction and the land east of Don Mills Road was still rural in character. Other office, industrial and commercial, sites were developed around the Eglinton and Don Mills Road intersection in the 1960s including, but not limited to, the Imperial Oil Building (1963) at the corner of Eglinton and Don Mills Road, and the Inn on the Park (1963) at No Eglinton Avenue East. The Ontario Science Centre, set back from East on Don Mills Road, was built on the southwest corner overlooking the West Don River in The Don Valley Parkway (DVP) was built as part of an expressway plan initiated by Metro Toronto government in the 1950s. When completed in 1966, the present interchange at East was opened. The Village of Leaside as amalgamated with neighboring Borough of East York in In Scarborough, residential, industrial and commercial development rebounded like the municipalities of Etobicoke and York immediately after W.W. II due to the demand of returning war veterans for housing and jobs. As a result, the township experienced tremendous population growth and development from the 1950s into the latter part of the 20 th century. Prior to World War II, Road east of Victoria Park Avenue was open farmland. In the early 1940s, several wartime factories were built. After the war, the Township of Scarborough bought the land for municipal use, selling the excess land to private industry. The development of "The Golden Mile", patterned after the Golden Mile in London, England, stretched from Victoria Park Avenue east to Warden Avenue, and was the site of intensive industrial and commercial development in the 1950s and 1960s. It included the Eglinton Square Shopping Centre built at Victoria Park Avenue and Pharmacy Avenue. By the late 1950s East between Pharmacy Avenue and Warden Avenue had been developed with numerous industrial plants such as Canada Foils Ltd. Frigidaire Products of Canada Limited, Rootes Motors (Canada) Ltd., and Canadian S. K. F. Co. Ltd. east of Sinnott Road. The Volkswagen Canada Ltd. building was built on the north side at No West at Warden Avenue. The Victoria Paper Co. Ltd., Renault Automobiles Canada Ltd., and Canadian Thermos Products Ltd. buildings were constructed on the north side of Eglinton Avenue East west of Thermos Road and the Lucas-Rotox Ltd. Aircraft Equipment to the east of Thermos Road. Ionview was developed on East from east of Birchmount Avenue to just past Kennedy Road as a post W.W. II housing development. The Kennedy TTC Station opened in The Cities of Etobicoke, York and Scarborough and the Borough of East York were amalgamated into the new City of Toronto in Former Hamlets and Villages Richview The original community of Richview in Etobicoke Township was established in In 1886, the post office was moved to the southwest corner of Concession 3, fronting on the Humber and Richview Side Road. By the 1880s, defined boundaries for the community had been established that corresponded with the School Section 4, Etobicoke. They consisted of Dixon Road on the north, Renforth Drive on the west, Rathburn Road on the south and Kipling on the east. The community consisted mainly of scattered farmsteads, Richview Church, Richview Cemetery and a school. The hamlet of Richview disappeared in the second half of the 20 th century with urbanization and highway development. Mount Dennis Named after the Dennis family the community of Mount Dennis developed from an early 19 th century sawmill and a woollen factory site to several brickyards, gravel pits, and market gardens on the Eglinton Flats and a school, post office and some general stores on Weston Road in the late 19 th century. The Kodak Company was established on Eglinton Avenue West, east of Mount Dennis, in During the 1950's Mount Dennis grew from a rural community to an urban neighbourhood. Fairbanks The community of Fairbanks centred at West and Dufferin Street and stretching eastward on West to Vaughan Road was established in the 19 th century, and developed more rapidly in the early 20 th century. Forest Hill Forest Hill, named after the summer residence of John Wickson built on a hill at the junction of West and Old Forest Hill Road in 1860, was incorporated as a village in Forest Hill's building codes and bylaws in the 1920's and 1930 s required an architect to design the village houses, thus creating a unique residential area. Lower Forest Hill south of Eglinton was developed by the 1930's. The Forest Hill Fire

13 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 19 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 20 Station located at No. 641 West on the south side of Eglinton was built in North of West, Upper Forest Hill did not really develop until the 1950s and 1960s due to the presence of the Belt Line railway and industry. Spadina Road meets West in the valley where the old Belt Line Railroad once ran. Forest Hill Collegiate built in 1948, and the Forest Hill Public Library built in 1963 west located on the north side of Eglinton to the west of Chaplin Crescent. Eglinton/North Toronto The hamlet of Eglinton was established at the intersection of and Yonge Street in the 19 th century. It became part of the town of North Toronto in 1890, a primarily agricultural farming community with large parcels of subdivided land held by speculators. Housing construction began in the 1890s when North Toronto became the northernmost stop on the Metropolitan Street Railway. The community was annexed by the City of Toronto in Development accelerated after annexation and the area was completely developed by the 1940's. Leaside The former 19 th century railway station stop named Leaside developed in the early 20 th century as a planned residential community a model town to be the new upper class residential area of Toronto (the new Rosedale). Frederick Todd prepared village plans separating the residential and industrial areas, and the Town of Leaside was incorporated in In the same year, Canada Wire and Cable became Leaside's first industry. The Leaside Munitions Factory and a airfield were established during World War I. As industry prospered, workers houses were built. Although the Leaside Housing Company received a provincial loan to build working class houses in 1919, the work did not proceed due to transportation problems. The Leaside Viaduct was built across the Don Valley in 1927 and a high level bridge and an underpass was built below the railway line. Residential construction began in the 1930s and continued into the 1950s. The Town of Leaside was incorporated in 1925 and became part of the Borough of East York in Township of Toronto Gore and Toronto, County of Peel The land survey of Toronto Gore Township was completed in The Gore Road was opened in 1822 to facilitate the movement of settlers to Toronto Gore and Albion Townships. The initial Euro-Canadian development stage of survey, settlement and land clearing took place between Early settlers built log dwellings and cleared patches of land for subsistence crops, and were responsible for clearing the survey road allowance along his or her property boundary. Land clearance in the township accelerated in the 1830s, and settlers had taken up all lots by 1840, with a large number of the settlers in Toronto Gore being of Irish background. Some of the concession and sideroads were cleared and maintained by the statue labour for land transportation. Early settlers along The Gore Road included Elisha Lawrence, who located on Lot 2, Concession 9 ND in 1822 a year before the Crown Patent, 12 and John McVean, who settled on Lot 3, Concession 9 ND about the same time. Both received their land as payment for their work on the building of The Gore Road. The second development stage of land clearance and the creation of the agricultural landscape in Toronto Gore generally occurred between The township developed from subsistence farming in the early 1800s to a wheat growing area in the mid-1800s. As the settlement of the land began to take place, small hamlets were established at strategic places within the developing agricultural landscape to provide services to the local population. Smith s Canadian Gazetteer (1846) describes Toronto Gore Township as being, a wedge-shaped township, of small size, with its base towards the township of Albion. It is watered by the branches of the River Humber, and contains some good land. It is well-settled, principally by Irish and Scotch, with a few Canadians; and a large portion of the township is under cultivation. There is one gristmill in the township. Population in 1842, 1,145. In 1848, Toronto Gore Township had a population of 1683 people, 309 occupied homes, 2 schools, 3 inns and 213 farmers, 9 wagon makers, 7 blacksmiths, 6 innkeepers as well as other occupations. 13 As the township was settled the local road network improved. In 1845, a group of men promoted the extension of the plank road from Weston to Claireville. Tremaine s map (1859) depicts a settled landscape with the farmsteads generally established on the north-south concession roads. The settlements in the southern tip of the Gore in the late 1850s included Grahamsville, Claireville and Malton, which was on the border with Toronto Township. Wheat was the principal agricultural crop grown in the township prior to From the 1850s to the 1890s there was a consistent increase in the acreage of cultivated township land. Ontario farmers began to turn to higher cost cash crops and animal husbandry in the 1870s. The third development stage of the landscape extended from the mid 1870s into the mid 20 th century and comprised the settlement into a pattern of established farm complexes and field patterns, and the mechanization of the farms. The Illustrated Historical Atlas (1877) indicates Gore Township contained prosperous farmsteads with orchards, farmhouses and barns. Toronto Township was formed on August 2, 1805, when officials from York purchased land, an area extending from Burlington Bay to the Etobicoke Creek, from the Mississaugas. With this "First Purchase", the Mississaugas retained some fishing rights and one mile of land on either side of the Credit River. This area became known as the Old Survey. Samuel Wilmot completed the survey of the southern half or the Old Survey 12 Geo. Tavender, From This Year Hence (rpt. 1967; 1984) Ibid, 161.

14 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 21 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 22 of Toronto Township in 1806, and the area was opened up for Euro-Canadian settlement, principally United Empire Loyalists who had emigrated from the United States after the American War of Independence and received land grants from the British Government for their service and loyalty. The northern area or New Survey of Toronto Township was acquired by the British government in 1818 and surveyed in Administratively Toronto Township was located in the Home District during the early 19 th century. The principal transportation roads in Toronto Township were opened in the first part of the 19 th century. Dundas Street, also known as the Governor s Road, was opened in the early 19 th century as a principal military route between York and London. Lakeshore Road, also opened in the early 19 th century, was a principal transportation route along the northern shore of Lake Ontario and provided a link between York (Toronto) and settlements to its west. Hurontario Street, which divided the township into east and west parts, was opened soon after the township survey. As settlement progressed in Toronto Township, other roads were opened in the first half of the 19 th century including Eglinton Avenue, known as the Base Line because it was the boundary line between the old and new surveys. In the early settlement years, small crossroad settlements, hamlets and villages were established within the developing agricultural landscape including Elmbank and Malton. Elmbank was located at the intersection of Britannia Road and Fifth Line in the mid 1820s, and the village of Malton was established in the north corner of Toronto Township at the same time. Smith s Canadian Gazetteer (1846) describes Toronto Township as follows: This is one of the best settled townships in the Home District: it contains a large portion of very excellent land, and a number of well cultivated farms. For from two to three miles from the lake the land is light and sandy, and the timber principally pine; afterwards, it becomes rolling, and the timber the best kinds of hardwood. The Rivers, Credit and Etobicoke both run through the township.there are four grist and twenty-one saw mills in the township. Population in 1842: 5, Tremaine s map (1859) shows the communities of Malton and Grahamsville in the New Survey on the eastern boundary line with York County. The Grand Trunk Railway ran through the northeast corner of the Township, passing through Malton. The township had developed into an agricultural landscape from the shoreline of Lake Ontario to the northern township boundary. The Toronto Township map contained in the Illustrated Historical Atlas (1877) shows a well-developed agricultural landscape with numerous farmsteads, a local road system and hamlets and villages. 14 Wm. H. Smith, Although the wheat economy of Peel County had ended by the 1880s, agriculture in Toronto Gore Township adapted and it continued to prosper throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century, despite a population loss in Peel County in the second half of the 19 th century. Family farms were retained and worked with increasing mechanization. Second and third generation farm improvements included drainage, wind breaks, fence lines, hedgerows and maintained road allowances. Buildings were improved with new and larger barns and farmhouses. Twentieth century topographical maps show Toronto Gore Township and Toronto Township north of the lakeshore remained, for the most part, rural in use and character into the latter part of the 20 th century. Landscape changes as a result of the urban transformation of the land in Toronto Gore began in the 1960s and accelerated in the 1970s. Change has continued to the present with the introduction of non-agricultural land uses, including residential suburban development of the landscape and modern improvements to roads and bridges. In Toronto Township, there was steady progress of development northward from the lakefront in the 20 th century. Malton Airport was opened in 1939 at Derry Road and Airport Road on the boundary line with Etobicoke Township in York County. The hamlet of Elmbank began to disappear in the 1930s and 1950s with the expropriation of rural land for the Malton Airport. The Elmbank Catholic Cemetery was located on the tarmac alongside a runway for many years and was relocated to Assumption Cemetery in Mississauga in The village of Malton became the site of an airport, now Toronto Pearson International Airport. Post World War II development accelerated in the 1950s. The 400-series Highway 401 was introduced into the landscape in the early 1960s the south; while the Mississauga section of Highway 403 was opened in The Township of Toronto Gore was amalgamated into the new City of Brampton and Toronto Township became part of the City of Mississauga on January 1, 1974 when the Regional Municipality of Peel was created Former Hamlets and Village Elmbank The intersection of Britannia Road and Fifth Line was developed as the crossroad hamlet of Elmbank in the mid 1820s. It comprised a corner store and post office, a blacksmith, a carriage maker and a cheese factory. The post office operated from April 1, to July 1, Elmbank was the site of the Catholic Mission and Cemetery with a church and cemetery (1833) and a rectory located just north of the Britannia Road and Fifth Line intersection. This original log church was replaced in 1885 by a red brick church, which 15 Mississauga Heritage Foundation, History, Mississuaga}s Lost Village: Elmbank. Access:-- <

15 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 23 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 24 was demolished in The hamlet also contained a blacksmith shop, a store and a carriage factory on the southwest corner of the intersection, an inn on the northeast corner, and a schoolhouse on the northwest side. A short distance south on Fifth Line was the Bethany Wesleyan Methodist Church and Cemetery, while a little to the west on Britannia Road there was a cheese factory. The Bethany Church, originally built as Shell s Chapel in 1831, was replaced with a brick structure around Elmbank began to disappear in the 1930s and 1950s with the expropriation of rural land and the expansion of the Malton Airport. 16 Malton IN the 1820s, the village of Malton was established on Lot 11, Concession 6 NDS, Toronto Township, on the border with Toronto Gore Township. In the 1840s, local blacksmith and innkeeper Richard Halliday named the settlement Malton, after his home in England. The introduction of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1854, provided better access to Toronto markets for local farmers. The village was subdivided in 1855 and it became the county seat in 1859 for a year. In the late 1860s, its economic prosperity was not sustainable and Malton became a small population centre in the township. It remained as such until 1937 when there was a major shift from agricultural to an industrial economy as a result of the area being selected as the site of an airport. The airport provided wartime prosperity during the 1940s and continued to be an integral part of the economy in the post-war years. The town experienced a populating growth after W.W. II through to the 1960s. Malton was incorporated into the town 1967, and then in to the City of Mississauga in Lester B. Pearson International Airport Malton Airport was created on farmland purchased by the Toronto Harbour Commission in Opened in 1939 and named for its location near the small village of Malton, the airport site was bounded by Derry Road to the north and Airport Road (6th Line) to the east, Elmbank Side Road to the south and Torbram Road (5th Line) to the west. The first terminal building was built in 1938, The City of Toronto bought Malton Airport in 1940 and it was used as a military training airport. An air traffic control centre was built in 1942; the airport served as a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan facility during W.W. II. A second terminal was built along Airport Road in 1949 to replace the first terminal. Land to the south of Elmbank Side Road and westwards past Torbram to Dixie Road was expropriated for expansion. It eventually subsumed the village of Elmbank. Transport Canada obtained control of Malton Airport in 1958, and the airport was renamed Toronto International Airport in Terminal 1 designed by John Parkin was built between 16 Ibid and The second terminal was demolished in the late 1960s to make way for the Terminal 1 building. Terminal 2, originally intended as a freight terminal, was opened in A passenger tunnel with moving sidewalks connected Terminal 2 connected to Terminal 1.The airport was renamed the Toronto Pearson International Airport in 1984, in honour of former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Terminal 3 opened in Management responsibilities of the Toronto Pearson Airport were transferred from Transport Canada to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority in Work began to replace Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 with a new Terminal 1, which along with a Terminal 3 would become the two passenger terminal facilities at Toronto Pearson. To ensure the ability of Toronto Pearson to accommodate its growing aircraft volume, substantial redevelopment of the airside and infield systems took place. Terminal 2 closed on January 29, 2007 and airlines moved to the newly completed Pier F at Terminal 1. Demolition of Terminal 2 began in April IDENTIFICATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES AND BUILT HERITAGE RESOURCES 5.1 Introduction For the purposes of built heritage and cultural heritage landscape identification, this section provides a brief description of the existing environment of the study corridor for the and the study corridor for the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station. 5.2 Description of Existing Environment is a principal east-west arterial road that crosses Toronto uninterrupted in a more or less straight line across the entire city passing through residential neighbourhoods with commercial strips, urban parks and major commercial areas as well as some green spaces associated with the Humber River system and the Don River system. West also extends into the City of Mississauga at the western end of the study corridor The Airport Extension study area comprises urban commercial and light industrial use and road infrastructure associated with Highways 401 and 427. West runs east to west under the intersection of Highways 401 and 427. Highway 27, formerly the King's Highway No. 27, once extended from Highway 2 in Long Branch to

16 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 25 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 26 Penetanguishene on Georgian Bay in Ontario. In the 1950s, the section of the Highway 27 between the present Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and Highway 401 was upgraded to a four-lane freeway. In 1964, the province opened the nearby Airport Expressway to connect to Lester B. Pearson International Airport, which is identified by the City of Mississauga as a cultural heritage landscape. The freeway section of Highway 27 between the QEW and Highway 401 was widened to a collector-express system in the late 1960s. In 1970, a connection to the planned Richview Expressway was built; it is used presently to provide access to from Highway 427. Highway 27 was re-designated Highway 427 upon completion in The section of Highway 27 north of Highway 401 remained and the collectors of Highway 427 default onto this remnant. The freeway portions of Highway 27 and the Airport Expressway, located between Highway 401 and Highway 409 prior to 1972, were combined to create the present route of Highway 427, north of West. Generally in Etobicoke Township, crossed through rural land until post W. W. II. Metro Toronto planned to use West as part of never-realized Toronto-Hamilton Expressway, also known as the Richview Expressway. In the 1960s and 1970s the land located between Martin Grove Road and Renforth Avenue was used principally to accommodate road infrastructure associated with the 400-series highways of 401 and 427 and the connection to the proposed Richview Expressway on Eglinton Avenue West. West was realigned slightly from the original survey road allowance to pass under the new highway interchange. By the 1970s, residential development was backlotted onto West on the south side west of Highway 427. North of Highway 401, lands associated with the Lester B. Pearson International Airport located in the northwest quadrant of Highway 427 and Highway 401, include the airport structures and associated businesses on Convair Drive and Silver Dart Drive. Airport development began in 1939 as the Malton Airport. It expanded to become became the Toronto International ( ) and the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (1984-present). Secondary roads such as Renforth Drive, International Boulevard, Carlingview Drive, Skyway Avenue and Galaxy Boulevard were built in the 1960s and 1970s to provide access to industrial development lands between Highway 27 and the airport lands. The Royal Woodbine Golf Course and Club along the Mimico Creek west of Skyway Avenue opened in Silver Dart Road was built to provide airport access for services. Commercial development occurred along Dixon Road. Lands west of Renforth Drive and north and south of Highway 401 have been developed into low-rise office and light industrial areas in the latter part of the 20 th century Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station The study area for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project runs along across the City of Toronto west to east from Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station. is one of the few east-west routes north of Bloor Street that runs across the entire City of Toronto in an uninterrupted, and generally straight line. It runs through many city neighbourhoods, generally low-rise residential with commercial use from Martin Grove Road to Allen Road, principally commercial with areas of medium to high rise apartment buildings from Allen Road to Don Mills Road and then east to Kennedy Road. passes through all six former municipalities that made up Metropolitan Toronto, namely, Etobicoke, York, Toronto, North York, East York and Scarborough. It also passes through the former incorporated villages of Forest Hill and Leaside. The following description of the existing environment is oriented from west to east. Martin Grove Road to Jane Street The area is presently characterized by the interchange of West, Highway 427 and Highway 401. The Richview Cemetery is located in the interchange. The north side of West comprises a wide green space running parallel to the road, with the exception of three earlier buildings, namely, Nos. 4480, 4400 and 4200 West. This green space is a result of land acquisition by the Metro Toronto government for the unrealized Toronto-Hamilton Expressway or Richview Expressway. Presently a bicycle path and sidewalk corridor is located on the south side of the West from west of Martingrove Road eastward to Scarlett Road where it connects with the Humber River trail system. Martingrove Collegiate located at Eglinton Venue West and Martingrove Road was built in the mid 1960s in a park setting. The Richview Reservoir and Park is located in the northeast corner of the intersection. High-rise apartment towers are set back in the green belt found on the north side of West to the west Kipling Avenue. A wood lot is located in the northwest quadrant of Eglinton and Kipling Avenue. Richview Plaza, developed in the late 1960s and set back a distance from West, is located east of Kipling Avenue. Richview Collegiate (1958) is located on the southwest corner of West and Islington Avenue. New apartment buildings and townhouses have replaced earlier 1960s subsidized housing the south side of the road, while a nursery business and highrise apartment towers set back from the road on a rise of land are situated on the north side of West between Islington Avenue and Scarlett Road. An entrance to Scarlett Woods Park, part of the Humber Valley trail system, is situated on the

17 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 27 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 28 southeast corner of West and Scarlett Road. West crosses the Humber River east of Scarlett Road to the Eglinton Flats, with the Scarlet Woods Golf Course and other recreational spaces on the west side Jane Street. The Humber River system, a Canadian Heritage River (1999), which includes the Etobicoke Creek and Mimico Creek, drains into Lake Ontario. The First Nations trail known as the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail followed the Humber River from Lake Ontario to the upper Great Lakes and the north and became a convenient shortcut to the upper Great Lakes for traders, explorers, and missionaries. The Toronto Carrying-Place Trail has been designated as nationally significant by the Federal Historic s and Monuments Board. The Humber River once formed the eastern boundary of the former Township of Etobicoke and the western boundary of the Township of York. Jane Street to Bathurst Street Until post World War II the north side of West from Jane Street to Dufferin was generally undeveloped and rural in character with the exception of the small communities or development at Mount Dennis, Keele Street and Fairbanks at Dufferin Street.

Pearson International Airport Extension study corridor and the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station study corridor. The identified built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes with a brief description and a photograph or aerial views are listed in Tables 1 and Eight (8) alternative routes were surveyed for the Airport Extension. They include: o Highway. 27-1; o Highway 27-2; o Highway 27with Spur Line; and, o R1, R2, R3, R3 and R5. The Pearson International Airport in the City of Mississauga is a listed cultural heritage landscape and all eight (8) route alternatives terminate within the Airport lands. As well, Alternatives R2 and R3 on Silver Dart Drive are adjacent to the Airport lands. One (1) cultural heritage landscape, namely the Richview Cemetery, is located within the City of Toronto adjacent to alternatives R1, R2, R3 and R4, which follow Eglinton Avenue West. The cemetery is situated the south side of West between the lanes of Highway 427. It is accessible from an unmarked service road on the south side of. The site is closed to the public by a chain link fence and the cemetery is fenced. Opened in 1853, extended in 1886 and amalgamated with two other pioneer cemeteries in the 1970s, the last burial was in The cemetery has two plaques within the fenced burial ground commemorating the Willow Grove Burying Ground and the Richview Cemetery. Richview Cemetery is municipally designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. No built heritage resources or cultural heritage landscapes 40 years and older were identified within or adjacent to alternatives Highway 27-1 and Highway 27-2, Highway 27 with Spur Line and R5.

PEARSON AIRPORT EXTENSION: 2. CHL Transportation: Air Category Location Description Heritage Status Digital Photograph /Aerial City of Mississauga Lester B. Pearson International Airport includes the current airport and the light industrial lands which surround it. Pearson International Airport (F-TC-1) is included on the City of Mississauga Cultural Landscape Inventory (January 2005) as an identified cultural heritage landscape. Given the length of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT study corridor from Martin Grove Road to Kennedy Station many cultural heritage landscapes and built heritage resources of 40 years and older associated with the historical development of the six pre-amalgamation municipalities of Etobicoke, York Toronto, East York, North York and Scarborough were identified. Historically was the dividing line between the north and south parts of original survey of York Township. The entirety of the length of Eglinton Avenue from Martin Grove Road in Etobicoke to Kennedy Road in Scarborough is considered to be one continuous evolving streetscape or cultural heritage landscape. This long and linear streetscape that runs across the width of the City of Toronto can be divided into many smaller, more discrete streetscapes, and individual built heritage resources. For the purposes of identifying the cultural heritage resources has been divided into sections that relate to the development history of the six pre-amalgamation municipalities that existed along its length prior to Most of the built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes are 20 th century in age, with the post World War II period the most predominant. For the purposes of the survey, particular attention was paid to the identification of built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes in the areas noted as proposed underground locations, portal and fire vent locations and bus terminal spaces. Since the sections of where the LRT will operate at surface (Martin Grove to Jane and Leslie to Kennedy Station) have enough space within the existing road allowance to accommodate two lanes of traffic in each direction and dedicated LRT transit lanes and surface stop platforms in the centre of the road, the cultural heritage resources identified in these areas are, for the most part, adjacent to the two sections of the study corridor. In the area of the proposed 13 kilometre underground section between Keele Street and Leslie Street, it is proposed the underground stations will be located about 850 metres apart, typically at intersections where existing north-south bus routes or the Yonge and Spadina Subway lines cross. Therefore, built heritage resources and discrete cultural heritage landscapes identified at these intersections and located within the station areas and infrastructure areas are considered to be within the study area. All municipally designated and listed cultural heritage resources located within or adjacent to the study corridor are listed in Table 2. Table 2 is not inclusive of every building and structure 40 years and older found along the Eglinton Avenue study corridor, but contains selected resources in the key development areas on from Martin Grove Road in the west to Kennedy Road in the east.

41 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page POTENTIAL IMPACTS MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the potential adverse effects of the improvements for Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station and the Preliminary Planning for a Transit Project Assessment Study, City of Toronto based on November 2009 design drawings provided by LGL Limited. The conservation of cultural heritage resources in planning is considered to be a matter of public interest. Generally changes due to transit infrastructure projects have the potential to adversely affect cultural heritage landscapes and built heritage resources by displacement and/or disruption during and after construction. Built heritage and/or cultural heritage landscapes may experience displacement or direct impacts, i.e., removal, if they are located within the rights-of-way of the undertaking. There may also be potential for disruption or indirect impacts to cultural heritage resources by the introduction of physical, visual, audible or atmospheric elements that are not in keeping with their character and, or setting. Transit improvements should be managed in such a way that its impact is sympathetic with the value of the resources. When the nature of the undertaking is such that adverse impacts are unavoidable it may be necessary to implement management or mitigation strategies that alleviate the deleterious effects to cultural heritage resource. Mitigation is the process of causing lessening or negating anticipated adverse impacts to cultural heritage resources, It may include such actions as avoidance, monitoring, protection, relocation, documentation, salvage, remedial landscaping, etc., and may be a temporary or permanent action. 6.2 There are no anticipated direct impacts to built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes as a result of this transit undertaking. Therefore there are no mitigation recommendations for this section of the study corridor. The Richview Cemetery located in the interchange for Highway 401 and 427 and south of is adjacent to the LRT line and no construction related activities should occur in this area. Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC study corridor includes the examination of a number of alternatives, including but not limited to, the potential station stops, intersection improvements and consideration of transportation demand management options. The preliminary preferred alternative was provided by LGL Limited. We have reviewed the mapping provided for the tunnel section of the proposed Eglinton LRT with the intent of identifying potential impacts and mitigation. We had previously identified built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes in the Existing Conditions Report. Both direct and indirect effects will occur as a result of the proposed infrastructure development. Displacement will most often result in the loss of a cultural heritage resource. Disruption will occur where a change in the physical and visual context will result from the proposed undertaking Table 3 is a list of cultural heritage resources that may be affected by the placement of LRT station location and associated facilities. The LRT stations not identified in Table 3 will not be affected based on the review of the most recent information received from LGL Limited. In the area of Prospect Cemetery on West construction activities should be sensitive to the close proximity of the cemetery, especially the entrance gates. 6.4 Future Mitigation Commitments The will not result in displacement and disruption impacts. The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Martin Grove Road to Kennedy TTC Station project will result in displacement and disruption impacts to identified cultural heritage resources along study corridor. The City of Toronto may require a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) to measure the degree of impact to these resources to be affected. The City of Toronto s Inventory of Heritage Properties includes both municipally listed and municipally designated properties. The City of Toronto s Heritage Preservation Services has developed new HIA Guidelines to evaluate the impacts of proposed development or site development for properties included on the City of Toronto s Inventory of Heritage Properties as well as any yet unidentified cultural heritage resource(s) found as part of the site assessment.

Disruption: Widening and intersection improvements at West and Weston Road will result in changes to the site context of Bank of Nova Scotia at 1151 Weston Road (CHL 7). Disruption: Road widening on the west side of Keele Street and the placement of an emergency exit on West in front of York Memorial Collegiate (BHR 16), a municipally designated property under the Ontario Heritage Act. Displacement: Placement of a fire vent will result in the removal of West (BHR 25), a 1947 commercial building. Displacement: City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services may require a Heritage Impact Statement (HIA) for the residences to be removed after screening. Disruption: Document the change to the site with photographs and historical mapping prior to intersection improvements and prepare a brief area history. Consult with Heritage Preservation Services regarding report content prior to commencement. Disruption: Prepare a sympathetic design that recognizes the importance of the viewscape in front of the building. A Heritage Impact Statement (HIA) will be required for this site by City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services. Displacement: Document the change in the streetscape with photographs and historical mapping and prepare a brief history of the area and building prior to the removal of the building. Consult with Heritage Preservation Services regarding report content prior to commencement.

Pleasant Road (BHR 52), 20 th century commercial building. Disruption: Station development will result in a change in the context of the site of the Uno Prii apartment building, 300 East (BHR 53), a municipally listed property on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. Disruption: Change in context due to new secondary entrance at Sunnybrook Plaza, located at 600 East (CHL 57). The site is listed property on the City of Toronto Modernist Inventory. Displacement: City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services will require a Heritage Impact Statement (HIA). Adaptive reuse of the building can be considered as a station entrance. Photo document the building and site prior to removal if this is the preferred option. Disruption: City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services will require a Heritage Impact Statement (HIA) for the site. Disruption: City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services may require a Heritage Impact Statement (HIA) for the site after screening. Oakwood Avenue Displacement: Placement of a station/exit will result in the removal of several 1950s commercial buildings, namely, 1557 (BHR 29), (BHR 30), (BHF 31) and 1606 (BHR 27). Displacement: Document the change in the streetscape with photographs and historical mapping and prepare a brief history of the area and building prior to the removal of the building. Consult with Heritage Preservation Services regarding report content prior to commencement.

43 Cultural Heritage Assessment Report Page 79 In consultation with Heritage Preservation Services, City of Toronto, it was agreed those properties considered to be of local heritage interest will be screened by a site review followed by the preparation of report containing a brief description of the resource and a professional opinion of a qualified built heritage consultant as to whether or not a formal HIA report needs to be completed to assess the degree of impact of the project and to provide mitigation recommendations. Mitigation recommendations may include, but not limited to, a summary documentation report including photographs for properties of local interest that do not merit an HIA. An HIA report will be required for all properties presently included on the City of Toronto s Inventory of Heritage Properties as municipally listed properties or designated properties under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. An HIA report for the City of Toronto will be based on a understanding of the significance and heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resource(s), identification of any impact the proposed development or site alteration will have on the resource(s), consider mitigation options, and recommend a conservation strategy that best conserves the resource(s) within the context of the proposed development or site alteration.
