Page 5, Q2. What issues do you feel need to be addressed regarding Victoria Park Final Report • June 2013 1 Smoking in wooded areas is a common occurance and a very serious threat to the park. Last year during the drought, we could have lost the park by the flick of a single cigarette butt. I am there almost every day and have seen many smokers toss their butts in the ground. There should be no smoking beyond certain points in the park with constant monitoring and heavy fines (day and night). The money spent on surveillence would be worth it. Otherwise, the park woods will literally go up in smoke one day. This issue should be of major concern when considering how to sustain the park. May 1, 2013 11:43 AM 2 Revitalize the Park, clean it up, make it welcoming May 1, 2013 6:14 AM 3 People sitting in parked (sometimes running) cars not overlooking the water can be a unsettling for some i would imagine. That said, I do feel safe alone in that situation. Also, vehicle speed (particularly motorcycles) is an issue. May 1, 2013 5:29 AM 4 DOGS Apr 30, 2013 11:02 AM 5 to many sports venues Apr 30, 2013 8:45 AM 6 Lack of dog park (off-leash) Apr 30, 2013 8:08 AM 7 Need to have a ramp to the harbour to launch windsurfers Apr 30, 2013 5:19 AM 8 Better upkeep of windsurfing launc site Apr 30, 2013 5:01 AM VICTORIA PARK COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN Page 5, Q2. What issues do you feel need to be addressed regarding Victoria Park 19 Restored natural area. Low-no mowing. Just paths. Mar 28, 2013 1:00 PM 20 The lilly pond needs to be cleaned up more regurally Mar 22, 2013 5:17 PM 21 Dedicated bike road Mar 20, 2013 6:59 AM 22 Not fully aware of vandalism or loitering issue. Mar 18, 2013 1:32 PM 23 Do not use park acreage for parking! Mar 14, 2013 1:49 PM 24 universal accessibility Mar 12, 2013 2:01 PM 25 Cars need to be removed Mar 12, 2013 5:40 AM 26 drunks hanging out in picnic areas Mar 11, 2013 10:25 AM 27 Freedom of Movement to walk and bike/Cease Buses Mar 11, 2013 7:51 AM 28 I think the bike lane works well so I didn't put it as a priority. Natural areas are definitely overstressed. The paths seem to get wider and barer every time I go to the park. 29 Build a specific bike path and let vehicular traffic flow both ways year round - access to and through the park! Mar 11, 2013 7:07 AM Mar 7, 2013 3:08 PM 9 Loitering: I teach several Pottery Classes in the Park and there are always car/vehicles parked outside from 8-11pm - just wondering what they are up to (drugs, sex) as there's no reason for them to be there at that time of night. 10 parking close to water (not along the side) where people can get out of their cars and sit on bench Apr 30, 2013 4:15 AM Apr 29, 2013 9:40 AM 30 Some areas of the park need more maintenance than others (e.g. pond in middle) Mar 6, 2013 7:04 PM 31 Open roadway in summer Mar 6, 2013 5:24 AM 32 avoid "sound pollution" Mar 5, 2013 9:43 AM 11 security Apr 27, 2013 8:28 AM 12 plan more cultural activities / events including multicultural arts & celebrations etc... 13 reinstall million $ drive through view of sunset behind lighthouse on North (York) River. Close foolish bike lane. Apr 26, 2013 6:56 AM Apr 23, 2013 1:06 PM 14 Loitering is what parks are for... Apr 23, 2013 10:29 AM 15 suspicious cars always parked near pottery studios after dark Apr 10, 2013 9:56 AM 16 loitering is exactly what parks are for Mar 30, 2013 7:50 PM 17 Laws regulating how the park may be used for commercial or "not for profit" events should absolutely be in favor of keeping the park peaceful, beautiful, and freely accessible. I believe in light of recent changes to age old laws, we seriously need to focus on what priority we are giving to changing laws to allow for commerce to be able to be freely practiced in the park, and at its expense. Mar 29, 2013 1:01 PM 18 skateboard park upgrade and maybe dirt jumps for bikes Mar 29, 2013 11:38 AM 33 How the heck can you loiter at a park Is that some code for 'old people who are cranky about young people hanging about' Wow. 34 There are a number of males who roam Victoria Park. There parking areas that are used as meeting places for individuals. The parking area most used for these activities is where the Pottery house is. These activities are self monitored during the months when the tennis courts are in use. Better lighting may be helpful in preventing these activities. Feb 28, 2013 7:38 AM Feb 26, 2013 6:21 AM 35 Roadway should be closed all year around not just in summer Feb 20, 2013 9:48 AM 36 someone to stop people from walking on the bike lane. Feb 20, 2013 6:31 AM 37 People cleaning up after their dogs Feb 13, 2013 5:20 PM 38 Public Water Access Feb 13, 2013 6:42 AM 39 Add bike path on inside of shore road so that street lane does not have to be closed in summer. Feb 13, 2013 5:58 AM 40 Eliminate the crows Feb 12, 2013 1:21 PM 17 of 38 18 of 38
