Item - 2025.EY24.22

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Requested the Executive Director, Development Review to give consideration to the inclusion of layby space for the purpose of short-term parking for delivery, pedestrian pick up and drop off, and similar use, in the Annie Craig Drive street frontage for the multi-residential buildings at 59 and 60 Annie Craig Drive.

The condos at 59 and 60 Annie Craig Drive have been built and occupied for many years, but the streetscape in front of the buildings has not yet been brought to the ultimate approved design by the developer. The ultimate design was established over a decade ago, and did not include any layby parking for short visits, deliveries, and pedestrian pick up and drop off. The need for layby space for these activities has increases substantially in recent years, and it can cause traffic issues when those spaces are not provided.

The residents of these buildings have requested the design be revised to accommodate layby space. The developer has expressed an openness to these revisions, so long as they can remain on schedule for constructing the final streetscape later this fall. There is an opportunity to secure a functional improvement for the building residents and avoid the implementation of a street design that will add to traffic frustrations, at little to no cost to the City of Toronto.
