From "2023 PB Cluster 5"

Go to the project

This idea proposes to upgrade garbage receptacles with public art around St. Lawrence neighbourhood 

StreetArtTO has reviewed this proposal and given permission for the installation of the vinyl-wrapped and art-customized garbage receptacles for future projects should this idea be successfully funded. $20,000 will be allocated to this project.

*Note: Ideas that proceed to the voting stage are edited by my office to ensure they are clear, concise, and is complete with images. For accountability and transparency purposes, the original description, as input by the resident, can be found below.

Original Description:

Goal:Enhance, improve neighbourhood services available in public realm

Locations: Evaluate how and where the following might be added to the neighbourhood:

•   public washroom(s) + public shower(s) or other amenities for those experiencing homelessness 

•   more and better designed garbage receptacles to address chronic overflow

- consider decorating as public art? 

•   additional dog park(s)

•   pickle ball court(s)

Approach:

•   consult with appropriate city staff to explore the feasibility/cost of each item

•   rank with input from SLNA for community prioritization                

Budget: to be determined

Note: This is one idea which can be scoped in a range of cost brackets, with associated investments ranging from large to very significant. It is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue with the Councillor’s office to qualify and shape this idea further as design and cost input is received from staff experts at the City, and prior to it being submitted for voting.

Need more receptacles especially given number of dogs in neighbourhood. There are blocks and blocks without one garbage can.
    I voted YES for this. But, the caveat is NOT to beautify the problematic garbage bins which have already been called out for being non functional. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/05/12/toronto-garbage-litter-waste-bins/
