Vine Ave is home to some of the most exciting and dynamic public space and happenings in the Junction. An array of all ages use the parkette all though-out the day. Equally important to the parkette are the peacemaking activities people and groups create to gather and recreate in the parkette. There’s also the historic sense of Vine Ave and it’s parkette as the community high-street north of Dundas in The Junction neighborhood.
Does the community need to make sure that any development – at least those such as the grocery store at 108 Vine Ave. – that need a zoning change, address the effects on the activities at the park and the 14 hours or so new traffic conditions that will go with it.
…at least, prohibited driving restrictions for the parkette area.

No trucks, no small debris, just a great view of the tracks and three shipping containers.

Two garbage trucks attempting to pass each other on Vine Ave have knocked down a pole in front of Vine Parkette.
The one by the water fountain on the sidewalk. This pole was really in bad shape and even wonky before this knock down occurred.

Recently the yellow caboose that stood regularly just behind George Bell Arena, has been traversing the rail tracks around the Junction.
Worryingly does this indicate that the CPR cannot retain a place to store it, hopefully not it would surely be missed.
Or is the dreamy reality that the railroad men and women just love having a roar moving it around remembering the days when trains had cabooses.
The caboose was visible at the back of Vine parkette Thursday.
