We're kicking off a new season of Roncesvalles Renewed with a meeting on Monday, September 8^th.  We'll find out the latest about the upcoming reconstruction of the Roncesvalles streetcar tracks. The bulk of the work is scheduled for 2010, with a portion of it beginning in the summer of 2009.

• John Bowker, our representative at the BIA, will update us about his discussions with our partners at the City of Toronto.
• Peter Simon of the City of Toronto's urban forestry department will explain how he has developed specifications for healthy tree planting, each of which has different costs attached.
• Martha Goodings will tell us about fundraising possibilities for the tree canopy.
• In addition, Mark Ellwood, one of our area residents, who gave a presentation on a parking survey last time, will be available to answer questions about parking; and
• Mary Wiens will ask for feedback on how we are communicating to the community. 

There may be time to hear about a proposal for an urban star park in High Park, and about the involvement of students at Parkdale Collegiate, and perhaps some of the details.
