During the review of the Order Paper on June 29, 2020, Speaker Nunziata ruled this Item redundant as the subject event had been cancelled due to COVID-19.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council receive the Transportation Management Plan for the 2020 RBC Canadian Open, attached to the report (February 18, 2020) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

2. City Council authorize the closing of Islington Avenue to traffic from Eglinton Avenue West to The Kingsway, for the period from June 1, 2020 to June 19, 2020.

3. City Council authorize the temporary parking, stopping and standing regulations on streets in the vicinity of St. George's Golf and Country Club, identified in Appendix A, attached to the report ( February 18, 2020) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

4. City Council direct that all costs associated with the road closings, including the costs of restoring and cleaning the streets following each event, as well as installing/removing temporary parking restrictions, shall be completed by Golf Canada to the satisfaction of the Transportation Services Division, and at no cost to the City.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Islington Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

The purpose of this report is to present the Traffic Management Plan prepared by

IBI Group on behalf of Golf Canada, relating to the full closure of Islington Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue West and The Kingsway, for a period up to 19 days, from Saturday, June 1, 2020, to Friday, June 19, 2020. The closing is required as Golf Canada is hosting the 2020 Canadian Open at St. George's Golf and Country Club, located on Islington Avenue, between the intersections of Ridge Valley Crescent/Prince George Drive and Princess Margaret Boulevard/Poplar Heights Drive. The closing includes the Pre-tournament (June 1 to June 7), Tournament (June 8 to June 14) and the Post-tournament (June 15 to June 19) events.

This report also recommends implementing temporary parking, standing and stopping regulations during the Tournament week (June 8, 2020 to June 14, 2020) on streets in the vicinity of the golf club and the visitor parking areas.

The TTC has been consulted and has no concerns regarding the proposals contained in this report.
