I've been living in the community for 3 years now and I just love it. I love that I'm just a hop, skip and a jump from High Park, although my price is waaaaaaaaay below High Park prices. I love that I can connect to the Humber Trails form various points. I love that I'm just 7 minutes from Keele subway station & 15 from downtown, on a good day. I love the topography of the area - hills, valleys, gullies - so beautifully, especially at nights. I love that I'm 5 minutes from the local golf course. I love that you are such quite neighbours!
What I dont like is that you do not teach your kids to put their trash in the multitude of trash bins around! I am totally not cool with the litter on my walking routes. The city workers are always so prompt in clearing the snow from "the steps", I designated the cardio portion of my walking route and other paths, but I just cannot stand the sight of the pop bottles, coffee cups and wrappers for various eats strewn along the way. I just cannot comprehend why anybody would want to leave garbage in their own neighbourhood.
Yes, I know you're all hard working folks, and you pay such keen attention to your yards and gardens, does this extend out to the community as well? All the paths were school children congregate or frequent are just littered with trash, expecially now that the snow has melted.
How about this, tell your kids if they have to walk and eat, put the wrapping/bottle in their backpack till they spot garbage/recycling bins. Sit on one of the many convenient rest benches and eat, the garbage/recycling bins are right there. Like everything else, children have to be taught not just to care for and respect their own property, but the property of others and their community.
Then my walks would be that much more enjoyable - comming upon a mother hawke teaching her baby to fly in the spring time, listening to the merriment of birds chirping so loud at the welcome of spring and not being distracted by wondering why, oh why do people litter!
