It is appalling the city would even consider development in the already distressed ravine system.

I walk my children to and from school daily through the ravine and feel blessed to have this access, living in a big city. We'd love to see more people having access to it.

Toronto's ravines are the jewel of our city. We cannot let neglect and erosion destroy our urban forests. Future generations have to enjoy them as much as we do.

I strongly feel the Ravine system in Toronto is a huge ans under utilized asset to the city and its residents. Currently relying on good natured city citizens for a large amount of its upkeep, a systematic plan is necessary for it to reach its full potential.

Fixing the stairs is a priority. They have been left in a state of disrepair for too long.

The erosion situation in the ravine has become treacherous with users at risk of falling rocks and trees.

I, too, would like some action. The delay drags on and talk is cheap.

These 'vital' stairs connecting Heath street were damaged by falling trees. The repair is LONG overdue. The stairs used to be regularly utilized by Moore Park families to get to and from Deer Park school and Yonge Street. This oasis of a thoroughfare enabled users to avoid the heavily trafficked St Clair bridge.

This will be the 3rd or is it the 4th summer without ravine access from the east side. This is not acceptable

This is a beautiful ravine in the heart of the city, it needs and deserves attention.

Why are the City and TRCA so indifferent? There is not even a sign on St. Clair Bridge to show the Yellow Creek and Vale of Avoca Ravine exist below. As the ravine steadily deteriorates, bandaid solutions are no longer adequate. In the 21st century we should not have to beg for this ancient, rich and irreplaceable natural and cultural resource to be properly conserved and protected. As environmental stewards of this land, we call on the City and TRCA to place long overdue priority on the rehabilitation of Yellow Creek, the Vale of Avoca and surrounding ravine trails, for the benefit of our children and all future generations.

We support the restoration and maintenance of access to The Yellow Creek Ravine. The ravine system in Toronto is what makes Toronto special
