This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The purpose of this report is to conclude the Lawrence Park Transportation Plan, a study intended to inform the detailed design phase and implementation phases of the Lawrence Park Neighbourhood Investigation of Basement Flooding (Area 20) and Road Improvement Class Environmental Assessment (EA); make interim road improvements in advance of the Environmental Assessment implementation; and make road improvements that are independent of the Environmental Assessment implementation.

The Lawrence Park Transportation Plan was initiated in response to a request of North York Community Council in 2019. Since that time the City has established the Neighbourhood Streets Plan program to manage requests of this nature. Full details about the program are available at www.toronto.ca/neighbourhoodstreetsplans.

Proposed changes include the installation of traffic calming measures, intersection realignments, and raised crosswalks. Intersection modifications and raised crosswalks will be advanced by the Environmental Assessment implementation project. Subject to approval from North York Community Council, traffic calming measures will be advanced on the routes indicated on the map in Attachment 19, independent of the Environmental Assessment implementation.
