Don Mills Residents Inc.

Have you recently taken a good look at the Macklin Hancock Parkette at the corner of Don Mills and Lawrence? Have you seen how tired the parkette sign looks?

Hello Neighbours! The Community Facilities & Services committee would like your help. Have you recently taken a good look at the parkette at the corner of Don Mills and Lawrence? Have you seen how tired the parkette sign looks? Do you know that there are a few flowers in concrete basins? Are you having trouble finding a seat, because none were planned for the parkette? (There are only 2 seats for TTC customers.) Are you confused by the concrete wall that doesn’t seem to go anywhere? Have you read the Heritage sign at all? Do you know who Macklin Hancock was?

The committee would like your input and help to make this parkette representative of Macklin Hancock, the architect who envisioned not only our green community, but could be called an original thinker of the 15 minute city. The committee is looking for feedback and volunteers to help spearhead an improvement of this parkette to make it a showpiece of our community, and not a nondescript place to wait for a bus.

Thanks!
