The City of Toronto wants your input on a proper name for the Green Loop. This is a quick and easy survey. Choose your favourite name from the following list:
Clock Tower Trail This name comes from The St. Charles Clock Tower at 484-488 Yonge St. This tower has been declared a heritage tower and is a landmark in Toronto’s gay community when it was part of the St. Charles Tavern. It was a witness to much history and 2SLGBTQ+ discrimination over the years. It is also located within the green loop not far from its centre. Clock Tower Green Loop This name connects the original green loop name along with the Clock Tower heritage clock location identifier to make an all-inclusive name including both a local landmark centered within it and the original green loop name thus gaining the advantages of both. Historic Yonge Green Loop This name references the Historic Yonge Street HCD Study. It acknowledges the early settlement patterns in the area, which are linked to the establishment and subdivision of Park lots on either side of Yonge Street . It maintains the green loop name adding Historic Yonge as the location spine of the walk. Historic Yonge Parks Trail The name keeps the Historic Yonge designation feature from the Yonge Street HCD Study and indicates this is a walking trail between local parks centred around the Historic Yonge Street spine. HISTORIC YONGE acknowledges the age and importance of Yonge Street – PARKS references the division of the land into lots – TRAIL evokes Indigenous Peoples who inhabited this area.
