Fed up with the vandalism that has plagued their com-munity, residents along Jersey Avenue got out their brushes last Saturday to clean up their street.
Led by Councillor Mike Layton, a team of residents painted garages and walls along their small street that had been tagged by van-dals.
The residents primed and painted several garages back-ing onto Jersey Avenue after Layton ensured the owners of the properties had given
consent to paint over the graffi ti.
“The neighbours put a lot of effort into tending to their backyards and front yards, so it’s an affront to all the work we do to have (vandals) do this to our pleasant commu-nity,” said resident Connie Guberman. “Especially since some of the graffi ti’s really vulgar and offensive.”
Enza Barbati, whose garage had been tagged by vandals, said the graffiti occurred during the Victoria Day long weekend.
“It’s sad because it’s not an old door, so it was upsetting

While summer for many brings vacationing, swim-ming pools and sunbathing, for a large number of children in Toronto, it can also bring hunger.
Many schools offer lunch programs, but when school is out, the kids who make use of those services can be precluded from attending summer camps because their families cannot ensure they have a healthy lunch to bring with them every day.
To help fi ll that need, the
Sodexo Foundation and Second Harvest have banded together to form Feeding Our Future, a program that ensures children in at-risk communities will have a healthy meal at day camps. The program was founded by the Sodexo Foundation in 2000 and has seen volunteers deliver 750,000 lunches to children across Canada.
On Wednesday, July 18, about 250 children attending downtown day camps gath-ered at Lord Dufferin Junior and Senior Public School for a celebration of the Feeding

Busy downtown streets can be a nightmare for cyclists to navigate, but the City of Toronto is in the midst of cre-ating a network of separated
bike lanes to help ease some of the safety concerns.
Though the designated bike lane on Jarvis Street is being removed and an environ-mental assessment looking into putting bike lanes along Bloor in midtown Toronto
was nixed at council last July, a square in the downtown core still promises to provide safe spaces for cyclists.
Work on separated bike lanes along Sherbourne Street is set to start next week. Wider

Our Future program. Those children enjoyed barbe-
cued food, watermelon, cookies and more as well as participated in basketball and hockey clinics put on by the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs organizations, with former Raptors star Alvin Williams helping out with the former.
END HUNGER
Sodexo spokesperson Michelle Porteous said the program fi ts in with her company’s goal of putting an end to hunger.
“During the school, these kids have lunch programs at their schools, so we wanted to bring lunch programs to camps,” she said.
“We started in Toronto and now we’re in nine cities across the coun-try.”
Typical Feeding Our Future meals include sandwiches, carrot and celery sticks, cookies and juice.
Jo-Anne Sobie of Second Harvest said the program helps bridge the gap between many children in at-risk communities and children in more well-to-do communities.
“A lot of kids aren’t sent to camp
because they have nothing to take with them for lunch,” she said. “How can they play, how can they recreate, if they’re not fed?”
While the barbecued lunch, which included hamburgers, halal meat burgers, veggie burgers and more, was a hit among the 250 children who attended the event, there was little doubt the day offered more to the kids than that.
“I think it’s pretty cool all the stuff there is to do here,” said 12-year-old John Innes Community Recreation Centre (CRC) camp-goer Adam Nortmann after participating in the basketball clinic.
“It’s really cool that they have the basketball van here and we get to play.”
Fellow John Innes CRC camp-goer Finn Komai, 11, said he was impressed with the activities and the food, and was particularly happy to see the Maple Leafs’ and Raptors’ mascots out playing with the kids.
“It’s a really nice day outside and I liked seeing the Raptor (mascot) doing all kinds of cool stunts,” Komai said.
“The food looks pretty good and smells pretty good, too.”

Lytton Park community welcomes new playground JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com
Children in the Lytton Park community came out en masse Wednesday, July 18
to celebrate the offi cial opening of their neighbourhood’s newest playground.
A collection of metal and plas-tic play areas stood in the midst of a rubberized area where a rickety wood play structure once was, and local kids were clearly enjoying the upgrade.
From spinning seats to climb-ing features, every part of the new playground was well-used at the offi cial opening event.
“When I came here and saw it, I started to freak out about how cool it is,” said eight-year-old Annie Harsfai. “I give this an A for awesome!”
Fellow eight-year-old Sonya La Penna said she was impressed the playground designers – Toronto-
based fi rm Todhunter Associates – had built a unique play area for kids in the area. “I like all the
parts they put in that no other park has,” she said. The park ran up a $500,000 tab, with $125,000
coming from the city’s capital budget and $375,000 coming from developers’ fees, largely from development work taking place at 1717 Avenue Rd.
Councillor Karen Stintz noted the upgraded playground, which faces Avenue Road just south of Glencairn Avenue, was a boon to the community.
“It’s always been a busy park but this is the busiest I’ve seen it,” she said. “The playground’s great and pathways have been added, which makes it more inviting.”
The original playground was taken down as Toronto moves away from older, less safe wooden playgrounds. The park’s sandbox was also slated to be removed, but the community stepped for-ward and insisted it be kept, given its popularity among local kids.
That was one of several areas in which the community was encouraged to join in the deci-sion-making processes that took
part prior to the playground’s construction. Community meet-ings gave residents a chance to offer input and help shape their local green space.
“So many people have been frustrated with the construc-tion that’s been going on along Avenue Road, it’s nice to see them get something back,” said Rodger Todhunter of Todhunter Associates.
The original playground was taken down earlier this summer, and while Stintz noted it was “a little awkward taking it down as school was getting out,” the new playground is obviously a massive improvement over what stood there before.
“This is a gorgeous playground – it has junior and senior por-tions to it,” said Councillor Norm Kelly, chair of the city’s Parks and Environment Committee. “That’s what makes Toronto, I think, one of the best places to live. ”

Readers offer view on safe schools act
Like many issues in Toronto, cycling and where it takes place has become one pitting the political left and right against each other. They are bat-
tling it out on the floor of council, and sadly also on the streets of our city.
As North York Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong told Toronto Community News in our special feature on cycling in the city on pages 8 and 9 of today’s newspaper, the main bone of contention is lack of space on Toronto’s streets.
“Because there’s a limited amount of geography, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists are all competing for the same space,” he explained.
And nobody seems willing to give up any ground.There are two kinds of cyclists
– those who ride to commute and those who ride for recre-ation. What we don’t want to see is the political battles ending up costing either groups of riders.
We need good and safe cycling routes along our streets for those who depend on their bikes to move around. We also need recreational runs that all can enjoy at a relaxed pace. And we don’t need one at the expense of the other.
As part of our feature today, we decided to take a look at nine bike rides that recreational riders could enjoy. All these rides are on bike paths, separate from city roads and free of cars for almost their entire routes.
These are runs that both experienced riders and those who are new to cycling can enjoy by them-selves or with their families, confident that they won’t have to negotiate through busy traffic or dangerous intersections. Hopefully readers will try one of these rides for themselves. There are some great choices and they highlight much of Toronto’s natural, and far too often hidden, beauty.
Valleys make up so much of our city’s landscape, and planners have not been shy about running cycling (and pedestrian) paths along them. There are some beautiful runs through Taylor Creek, along the Don River and Highland Creek that have riders thinking they are far away from Canada’s largest city.
The featured rides also focus on the close connec-tion between the city and Lake Ontario. While it is not yet possible to ride along the lake from one end of Toronto to the other only on a bike path, large sec-tions are accessible. There are no shortages of great rides in the city and we encourage our readers to try one.
Balance needs of recreational and commuter cyclists

toronto is a world-class city: reader
Re: ‘Time to move away from T.O., reader says,’ Letters, July 20.
Wow. The letter-writer’s Kingston family members feel sorry for Toronto resi-dents and council’s decisions have “turned Toronto into a joke.”
Is t h i s t h e c i t y T h e Economist magazine rated No. 8 out of 70 cities interna-tionally in the livability index, the only city in North America to be in the Top 10?
Toronto got the highest rating for green space and low pollution.
Like any other big city, we do have our share of big problems.
Council messes up for each of us some of the time, but they must have made some good decisions over the years for Toronto to have so much to offer.
So Kingston, feel sorry for us for enjoying the follow-ing:
One of the biggest and best library systems in the world (saved this year by council); one of the world’s great mul-ticultural cities where people (mainly) get along; one of the top theatre centres in North America; a non-stop summer of amazing festivals (with lots of free events); one of the world’s great film festivals; beautiful, vibrant neighbour-hoods; top-notch music and dance scenes; beautiful parks- Rosetta McClain, High Park, etc; stunning ‘natural’ settings- the Bluffs, the Beach, the Leslie Spit; sports teams to live or die with; Kensington and St. Lawrence markets; world-renowned schools; an unbeatable assortment of restaurants; eye-catching architecture; and lastly, a waterfront that is finally coming to life - Sugar Beach, Toronto Music Garden, Sh e r b o u r n e Co m m o n . (Council did vote down Mayor Rob Ford’s plan for a ferris wheel and monorail).
So don’t sell your property Torontonians. Hang around and enjoy everything our great city has to offer.

Many commentators have focused their attention on the anti-homophobia and gay-straight alliance provisions in the Accepting Schools Act that recently received Royal Assent in the Ontario legis-lature.
Meanwhile, the important message behind the act is lost in the public debate: to create a safe, inclusive and welcom-ing learning environment for all students.
The Accepting Schools Act is an amendment to the Education Act, which already offers protections against dis-crimination, harassment and bullying based on race sex, disability and citizenship. The amendment extends those same protections to students of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
This new law is impor-tant as students who do not experience bullying are more likely to succeed academically and go on to be productive
members of society. Boards and schools already
do a good job in promoting gender equity, anti-racism and understanding and respect for people with dis-abilities. If we are to continue building an inclusive society we must also recognize the challenges that young people of different sexual orienta-tions and gender identities face.
The Accepting Schools Act is an important tool in pre-venting bullying and promot-ing a positive school climate that is inclusive and accepting of all students.

n Fighting for allIt is baffling how a universally supported sentiment – reduc-ing bullying – has gone so wrong.
First it seems un-Canadian. Our internationally emulated hero, Terry Fox, fought for all cancer victims, not just
his type, while Rick Hansen fought for all disabled people, not just his own.
The legislation is also baf-fling because it has unneces-sarily alienated supporters of both Catholic education and faith, which oppose all bully-ing. This legislation, with one small addition, has divided and opened up old resent-ments.
The headlines are about Catholics rather than the kids – children who are bullied for their personal traits.
We should unite all school victims in one club or they will get uneven support.
The late Prof. Pat Duffy Hutcheon reminded us of Martin Luther King’s dream – to be judged by the content of our character, not our group identity. Many advocates are twisting that dream, by asking for preferential treatment because of group identity – the very source of injustice.

Motorists, pedestrians, cyclists all competing for limited space
DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com
When Rob Ford was elected Mayor of Toronto in 2010, one
might be forgiven for thinking that bicyclists’ time had passed.
As a councillor, Ford famously compared cycling in traffi c to “swimming with the sharks,” adding, “Roads are built for buses cars and trucks, not for people on bikes. My heart bleeds for them
when someone gets killed, but it’s their own fault at the end of the day.”
At council’s inaugural meet-ing, the mayor’s chosen keynote speaker Don Cherry arrived in a hot pink suit, which he said he wore for “all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and every-thing.”
The new administration signalled early that it would take a very different route than the previous crew under David Miller, which favoured separated bike lanes on roads. In short order, city council had removed bike lanes on Pharmacy and Birchmount avenues in Scarborough at the request of the local councillor, and another, higher-profi le bike lane on Jarvis Street despite the protests of the
local councillor there.The shift was a result of more
than the will of a mayor more comfortable on four wheels than two. Since before amalgamation, cars and bicycles have had an uneasy relationship on Toronto’s streets.
Don Valley East Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, who chairs the city’s works committee, said the confl ict is only natu-ral, “because there’s a limited amount of geography — pedes-trians, cyclists and motorists are all competing for the same space.”
As works chair, Minnan-Wong has carriage of the Ford admin-istration’s cycling plan, which in broad strokes is about separating motorists from cyclists wherever possible.
Ford ran on creating a Bikeway Network – which includes 100 kilometres of off-road recre-ational bike paths. Some of those paths running along Hydro corri-dors were approved by the previ-ous administration.
Minnan-Wong has pressed the issue further, and the city embarked on a plan to make some separated bike lanes in the downtown — initially on Wellesley and Sherbourne Streets, and eventually along Richmond and Adelaide streets in the core.
“Everybody has a different opinion,” said Minnan-Wong. “But I think it makes for a safer arrangement for cyclists, and I think the majority of cyclists prefer it.”
Scarborough Centre Councillor
Glenn De Baeremaeker chaired the works committee during Miller’s term, and has made a point of making a 20-kilome-tre commute from his home in Scarborough to city hall by bicycle.
He said the separated lanes are a good idea — but maintains that the mayor’s plan focussing on off-road cycling doesn’t help the growing number of utilitarian cyclists in the city.
“Separated bike lanes are good, and every cyclist and driver should welcome them,” he said. “Those lanes are complicated things to do, I encourage the bike community and Denzil Minnan-Wong. But one kilometre of sepa-rated bike lane doesn’t make up for cancelling 100 kilometres of bike lanes on roads.”

9 RIDES
Across Toronto
1 ETOBICOKE: From the Humber River Pedestrian Bridge, cyclists have two options: head up the river path to the
northern reaches of Etobicoke, or west along Etobicoke’s picturesque Lake Ontario waterfront.
The latter, two-kilometre option is the more scenic, and has the added bonus of no traffic – unless, of course, you consider the steady stream of cyclists, in-line skaters, dog walkers, and family picnickers out for some fresh air and exercise.
For the hardcore cyclists, the waterfront trail boasts separate, paved lanes for bikes, while for those out for a more leisurely ride, there are plenty of stops along the path – take in some history at the Palace Pier
monument, rest on the benches at Home Garden, hand-build an inukshuk along the shoreline, admire the monarchs at the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat or wander the paths through Humber Bay Park.
2 YORK: While plans are in the works to eventually close what is an approxi-mately one-kilometre gap between
Crawford-Jones Memorial Park (near Weston Road and Hwy. 401) and Cruickshank Park in Weston, local riders in York can still enjoy a pleasant ride.
However, the gap prevents Rexdale and west North York residents from being able
to use what is otherwise an essentially uninterrupted off-road path running from Steeles Avenue to downtown Toronto via the Humber and Martin Goodman Trails.
The route from Cruickshank Park to Lake Ontario, save for a small stretch through local, residential streets near the Humber Marshes, is relatively unimpeded and takes, on average, an hour to complete one way.
3 BLOOR WEST: For cyclists living in the downtown west end, who not only use their bikes for pleasure, but also
for every day transportation, the most pleasant ride is one free from cars.
And that is what makes the West Toronto Railpath a popular and pleasant shortcut between Parkdale and the Junction. The two-kilometre long trail
begins at Cariboo Avenue, just north of the Dupont and Dundas intersection, and runs southeast to Dundas Street West at Sterling Road with various access points.
Built on abandoned railway beds, the West Toronto Railpath was completed in 2009. It is an asphalt path lined with greenery, indigenous plantings and brick buildings.
4 PARKDALE: For cyclists looking to head north from Parkdale to the Junction, or just looking for a pleas-
ant car-free ride, the West Toronto Railpath offers a two-kilometre trail between Sterling Avenue at Dundas Street West and Cariboo Avenue, north of Dupont Street.
But for many bike enthusiasts, the dream is to see this tree-lined trail, winner
of an Urban Design Award of Excellence, extended south along the GO train tracks to south of Queen Street West toward downtown Toronto.
If completed, the Railpath would give more than 250,000 Toronto residents living in the west end and travelling downtown a sustainable transportation link with the downtown core.

Scarborough
9 SCARBOROUGH: The ride from Greenvale Park, just north of Kingston Road across from the Guildwood GO
station, through the Highland Creek Valley and along the shores of Lake Ontario to the Port Union Village Common Park, is a run of approximately 12 kilometres, which takes in a wide variety of features and parkland through southeast Scarborough.
The run starts with a steep hill and a warning for cyclists to dismount at the Greenvale Park entrance, but levels off nicely. It is a bit smelly, due to sewers run-ning underground near the Lawrence bridge, along the creek into Morningside Park. After that it rolls through the University of Toronto Scarborough campus.
Cyclists cross under Old Kingston Road and continue along beside the creek all the way to Lake Ontario.
There’s lots of opportunity to see wild-life on this ride, a pair of deer were spotted by the Morningside bridge, and it’s a fun run for kids with mostly level riding and lots of sites to see.
Adding separate bike lanes isn’t easiest route
7 EAST YORK: The bike path winding through Taylor Creek Park has long been a favourite family biking route.
After a mid-July rainstorm this year, the shady route seemed more of an Iron Man family biking route.
Running 3.5 kilometres from Victoria Park Avenue to Don Mills Road and the Don Valley Parkway, the route was slick
with mud, and several bridges have now been washed out. Just past Lumsden Avenue, a downed tree called for a cyclist ‘portage’ through the branches.
Two of the wooden bridges are washed out, and two others have the safety railing snapped off. It’s a reminder that even in well-groomed Toronto parks, nature still reigns supreme.
8 BEACH: On most weekends, taking a bike to the Beach is an exercise in frustration: just the same as is taking a
picnic, a volleyball, a pair of roller blades or an automobile is.
Everyone else has the same idea. On weekdays, it’s a different story; the run east from Leslie Street will take you a good five kilometres, past the new TTC vehicle storage facility, a skateboard park, and the millen-
nium-project Woodbine Park into the Beach proper.
It’s good manners to stay off the Boardwalk – there are still a few visitors taking a stroll – but it’s a nice, safe ride through Woodbine Beach, Kew Gardens and Beaches Park. The bike route officially ends around Balsam Avenue; but a few hundred metres further east, and you’ll end up at the stunning R.C. Harris Water Filtration Plant.
5 NORTH YORK: The five-kilometre ride between Edwards Gardens and Taylor Creek Park is an easy run – for the
most part. However, even experienced cyclists will
want to get off their bikes and walk the wooden foot-bridge that curves over the CNR tracks cutting through the valley.
Otherwise, it’s a gentle ride, uphill from Don Mills, through valley lands that snake behind the Ontario Science Centre, past Sunnybrook Park, and deep north through the lush, thick woods lining Wilket Creek.
Once you arrive, you’ll have to dismount as bicycles are prohibited in the gardens. But there are bike rings and benches.
6 CITY CENTRE: There’s a long and rewarding ride ahead for cyclists who want to brave the Lower Don River
trail, that stretches eight kilometres from Don Mills Road and the Don Valley Parkway south along the Don to Lake Shore Boulevard.
At the best of times, it’s a good idea to bring water. But the ride is rich with sights
and landmarks, and worth the trip. The Prince Edward Viaduct is at its most impres-sive seen from the saddle of a bicycle below, and urban wildlife abounds. Heading towards the new crossing at Pottery Road, a lone chipmunk tempts fate crossing the path. Further south, where the trail dips underneath Eastern Avenue, a flock of geese stand guard.

Story and photos/TCN STAFF
than the typical painted-off Toronto bike lanes, the new lanes will see restrictions to on-street parking and left-turn lanes, and could result in limited left turns at some intersec-tions.
Public input on a similar ini-tiative along the Wellesley Street/Hoskin Avenue corridor draws to a close tomorrow with a public meeting slated to take place in September.
Daniel Egan, the city’s man-ager of cycling infrastructure and programs, said the separated bike lanes will be part of a 14-kilometre network in the downtown core, with additional separated bike lanes along the Richmond-Adelaide cor-ridor and St. George and Beverly streets.
Putting separated bike lanes in the congested core posed its share
of problems, however.“The narrowness of the road
(along Wellesley) was the No. 1 obstacle and we also need to maintain transit along the street,” he said.
The plan did not come with-out controversy. Egan admitted some were opposed to the plan as it would mean a loss of street parking.
LOSS OF PARKING
“I don’t think anyone was anti-bike lane, but they didn’t want the loss of parking or the loss of some-thing else,” he said.
“To get something, you have to give something up.”
He added there are still plenty of details that need to be worked through before the Wellesley-Hoskin bike corridor is ready to go, such as
the area around Yonge Street, where implementing separated bike lanes could prove especially tricky.
For Cycle Toronto spokesperson Jared Kolb, separated bike lanes along Wellesley-Hoskin are long overdue, though he admitted there are some diffi culties.
“There were defi nitely some con-cerns over if there’s actually enough space for physically separated bike lanes and if they’re put in, what about other traffi c considerations,” he said.
“The (National Association of City Transportation Offi cials) guidelines say bike lanes need to be 1.5 to 2.1 metres in width, so these will probably be on the low end of that.”
Kolb added his organization is eager to see how the city integrates bike lanes around Queen’s Park.
While the push for a downtown
network of separated bike lanes has taken a while to get underway, Cycle Toronto said the movement is better late than never.
“A lot of cities have protected bike lanes, which is important to increase safety on the roads,” h e s a i d . “(Toronto) doesn’t have experience d o i n g t h i s stuff, so it’s really exciting to have it hap-pening now.”
Anyone looking to offer input on the Wellesley-Hoskin corridor can do so by leaving a message at 416-338-1066 or by emailing comments to bikewellesley@toronto.ca
Toronto Island While downtown Toronto may hard-ly be the best place for a joyride, a scenic cycling spot can be found a quick ferry ride away. Toronto Island has long been a pop-ular destination for cyclists looking to get out of the hectic city and go for a spin. With boardwalks and beaches, bikers can enjoy taking in the sights, from the city’s skyline to gardens to the island’s own marina to rows of quaint bungalows on the island. Best of all, even inexperienced cyclists can take part in the fun. Single and tandem bikes are avail-able for rent at hourly rates, as are two-seat and four-seat quadricycles – canopied, pedal-powered four-wheelers for those who want to take a leisurely tour of all Toronto Island has to offer.

Neshama is city’s first fully accessible playground

Justin sKinner jskinner@insidetoronto.com
For a playground that has seen children enjoying its various features for a year now, Oriole Park’s Neshama Playground drew quite a crowd to its official opening ceremony last Saturday.
Ontario Lt.-Gov. David C. Onley joined councillors Josh Matlow and Norm Kelly, donors and supporters for the ceremony, which saw the city’s first fully accessible playground well-used.
The park was the brain-child of a group calling themselves A Bunch of Guys, who envisioned a barrier-free space where children could all play together regardless of physical or mental dis-abilities.
In addition to conven-tional playground features, the Neshama Playground offers sensory music fea-tures, accessible play struc-tures, Braille panels and more.
Brendan Caldwell, of A Bunch of Guys, read from Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant at the park’s opening ceremony, recounting the tale of a walled-off garden where winter persisted until all children – even a tiny boy who was unable to climb a tree in the garden – were able to play.
“With this playground...the city has done much to knock down walls and allow all children to play in the garden,” he said.
The playground was not without controversy. Some local residents were opposed to its construction, fearing the loss of some of their community’s scarce green space and angry over what they said was insufficient public consultation.
The group Friends of Oriole Park was formed in 2008 partly over concerns the North Toronto green space was being misused.
A t t h e N e s h a m a Playground opening celebra-
tions, however, those hard feelings appeared to have dissipated.
“We have members here every day who look after (the park), who clean it, who make sure the kids are having fun,” said Friends of Oriole Park President Ulli Rath. “We’ve had nothing but positive comments from a large membership.”
He noted the planning process for the Neshama Playground had provided some valuable lessons that will help if and when the city moves to make more com-munity parks fully acces-sible.
“There have been some lessons all of us can learn to make (the process) easier
and smoother in the future,” he said.
Rath said the commu-nity was continuing to look for ways to improve Oriole Park and noted the group is looking to expand the green space to take up some adja-cent unused TTC land.
Ba s e d o n t h e s h e e r number of kids running, climbing, swinging and cool-ing off in the playground’s water features, Neshama wound up overcoming con-troversy to become a huge success.
“This is an example (that shows) when the City of Toronto and those...in our community come together to build a partnership, anything is possible,” Matlow said.

“It would be nice not to see (graffiti) everywhere.”
The paint was donated by a local Home Hardware outlet, which also supplied brushes, rollers, paint trays

and spray cans that resi-dents would be able to use to do touch-ups should the vandals return.
The councillor hopes the paint-out will help combat the “broken window theory”, stopping further vandalism in the community.
Residents at the paint-out noted their community is safe, but pointed out the vandalism on garages and walls diminished their
streetscape immensely.“It just takes one person
to make a mess of every-thing,” said resident Myra Lefkowitz.
While keeping the com-munity clean-looking is one obvious benefit of the paint-outs, the first two such events have had residual effects that should also help to enhance the community by helping the neighbours get to know one another.
