Don River has been Toronto’s main source of livelihood, bringing more settlers around it. However, it has become increasingly susceptible to pollution and flooding. Pollution impacted the river in two ways. Rainstorms dragged pollutants into the river. Progressing into the 19th century, Don River became an industrial sewer to the emerging industries (Bonnell 2014). Later, the city of Toronto gained awareness of the planning issue and initiated a redevelopment project called “Don River and Central Waterfront Project” (Desfor and Laidley 2011). In my paper, I’ll address the nature of the planning issues and the strategies taken to solve the issues (solutions), and the benefits of the project. To study the strengths and weaknesses of the project, …show more content…
Combined sewage overflows come from almost 50 of these sewer outfalls. 2) dry weather flows: - Toronto needs to assess the problems of dry weather flow and take advantage of the opportunities it provides. In order to sustain future growth, the dry weather flow collection system needs to have sufficient capacity. Moreover, sufficient redundancy will enable Coxwell Sanitary Trunk System to strengthen its security and maintenance. 3) additional concerns: - There are disadvantages that come along with transferring sludges from and to different sewer force mains. Toronto’s infrastructure needs to incorporate a sustainable strategy and routing options for transferring sludges from the Humber Treatment Plant to the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant and other plants; and - Chemicals such as ammonia and phosphorus spill into the Don River, which need to be reduced. 4) solutions that integrate with wet and dry weathers: - dual infrastructure for both wet and dry weather can be implemented to not only store and treat wet weather flows, but also add security in dry weather flows.

Those who knew Bob Lyons thought extremely well of him. He was a highly successful executive who held an important position in a large company. As his superiors saw him, he was aggressive, with a knack for getting things done through other people. He worked hard and set a vigorous pace. He drove himself relentlessly. In less than ten years with his company, he had moved through several positions of responsibility.
These tasks go hand and hand with the City Public Works Drainage Division which administrates permits, and is responsible for the implementation and the execution of stormwater best management practices through the use of various resources such as personnel, and medium and heavy equipment. Public Works maintains more than 350 miles of storm sewer drainage system within the City and approximately 150 miles of drainage ditches and thousands of storm water inlets. Public Works crews work continually throughout the year removing trash and debris, mowing drainage ditches, vacuuming stormwater inlets, as well as other tasks to maintain a healthy drainage infrastructure. Unfortunately, the City is faced with the challenges of sustaining its extensive MS4 program and existing drainage infrastructure due to the lack of additional financial resources. Certain sections of the City’s drainage system are more than 50 years old and deteriorating. As the City continues to grow and expand, the need for repairs, retrofitting and maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure is as equally important as creating new capital projects.

Was Cameron occupying the car as defined by Mr. Frye’s automobile insurance policy by placing the car on a jack and running it backwards by placing a concrete block on the gas pedal if he continued to monitor the vehicle, kicked it repeatedly and leaned on it?
You probably never heard of Don Henry and Kevin Ives. Don was 16 when he was murdered and Kevin was 17. These boys had family and friends that probably will ever know who killed them. On Sunday, August 23, 1987, at around 4:00 a.m. Don and Kevin was spotted by the crew of a Union Pacific train near Alexander. The bodies were lying between the tracks, wrapped in a pale green tarp; there was a gun nearby. The train was unable to avoid running over the bodies. The train’s crew immediately reported the incident to railroad officials and to local law enforcement at benton. Around 4:40 a.m local and state police had arrived at the scene and begun investigating. At first, local officials treated the incident like a suicide.
(Lehrer et al., 2009). It is strongly recommended therefore that gentrification be recognized by the City as both a socio-spatial process that is highly unsustainable and socially unjust. Furthermore, we need to establish an understanding not just as an unfortunate by-product of market-led or state-facilitated development in Toronto's inner city (and beyond), but as an integral part of Toronto's planning as well as policy
Juan could have decided to contact the media to focus attention on the center’s programs. Instead, he followed internal process for handling grievances. List the possible advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches. One of the possible advantages associated with Juan’s decision to follow internal process for handling grievance is the positive length of the investigation. In other words, given that Juan decided to work with his employer’s internal investigators consistently, the investigators quietly investigated Juan’s claims while the Willow River staffs were focused on their daily duties. Moreover, the agency obtained its credibility form the public and state law makers as the investigation was completed. In other words, even
Today the job is still being done but the Love Canal isn’t the only place facing these problems. Many homes are located near improperly maintained chemical wastelands. The government is searching to find these placed and clean them out.
Here in Perth, we are having new inner-city developments that everyone is looking forward to. These developments are fantastic and will bring more tourism and vibrancy to the Perth City. However, a problem that they have is the possibility of destroying the river through increasing turbidity, higher temperatures and more acidity. This is why Perth and its people need fifty million dollars, so that we can protect the Swan River while still being able to build new developments.
Bill McEwen in the “ River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds,” exposes that the San Joaquin River restoration has hidden flaws within its complex plan. McEwen supports his claim by explaining the two major problems with the legislation. The author’s purpose is to point out these problems in order to have people take notice in them, and have them see what is going on within the San Joaquin River restoration. The author writes in an informative tone for the locals within the

Revitalization efforts in downtown areas have gained momentum over the past few decades, this paper is focused on revitalization strategies, recognizing the process of decline, while identifying key strategies used in downtown revitalization efforts over the past fifty years (Faulk 2006). Downtowns, unlike suburban shopping malls or office complexes, evolved slowly over time, responding to changing technologies, social and economic patterns. A city’s identity relies heavily on the image of its downtown, so inevitably cities of all sizes commit themselves to achieving successful downtown redevelopment (Robertson 1995). As I have been reading literature on downtown revitalization a number of strategies and principles have surfaced. Many of
