Description
This segment of the Geary Avenue Park character area is comprised of existing parks between Ossington Avenue and Christie Street.
Major improvements are related to enhanced street crossings to connect the various parks. Park users will access these parks from local neighbourhood streets, Ossington Avenue, Shaw Street, and Christie Street. Crosswalks are introduced at Ossington Avenue and Christie Street. An improved accessible path is provided
to connect through the Melita Co-op Housing property.
Existing park facilities will be repaired and enhanced, and the existing community gardens retained. The Green Line path will also be widened to the new standard of 3.0m.

Description
The Hillcrest Yard character area is between Christie Street and Bathurst Street. Within this segment are three large parking lots, a shared access lane, and a future community garden.
The primary purpose of this block is to provide through connection. The parking lots are reconfigured to permit the Green Line path and allow for the continued operation of existing uses. The path will make use of the shared access lane, with enhancements to ensure safe movement.
New signalized crossings at Christie Street and Bathurst Street are recommended, but they will require coordination with other adjacent projects and further study by the City of Toronto to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Description
The George Brown College character area is between Bathurst Street and Spadina Avenue.
Given the existing use and high demand for parking within this segment of the hydro corridor, the Green Line will connect along Bridgman Avenue and McPherson Avenue. Streetscape improvements will include the continuous sidewalks, enhanced streetscape, cycling improvements, and improved intersection crossings. Further improvements
to Macpherson Avenue are possible, but will require more discussions with the City of Toronto about the opportunities.
As the need for parking changes over time, the City will continue to monitor opportunities to add new parks in the hydro corridor.

Description
The Lower Davenport character area is between Spadina Road and Davenport Road. This segment of the Green Line is composed of two entirely new park parcels.
The western parcel is the second largest new park in the Green Line, with a primarily open and flexible character with lawn and meadow planting. Park users can choose between the path or the generous sidewalk along Macpherson Avenue.
The western parcel is a new park that will serve as a gateway to the Green Line, providing opportunities for seating, gathering, information and wayfinding. From this point, the Green Line will connect to Ramsden Park and the Davenport Road bike lanes to the east.
