Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission operates a transit service on Jones Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
The Toronto District School Board has approved the temporary relocation of Pape Avenue Junior Public School and Pape Children’s House childcare centre from 220 Langley Avenue to the Adult Learning Centre located at 540 Jones Avenue. This relocation is required to preserve a stable learning environment during major Ontario Line construction activities occurring in close proximity to the existing school site. The temporary relocation will be in effect for two academic years, from September 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
To support this relocation, Transportation Services is recommending the implementation of a temporary school bus loading zone on the west side of Jones Avenue, fronting 540 Jones Avenue, for two academic years, from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. A companion report titled "Strathcona Avenue - Temporary Traffic and Parking By-law Amendments" proposes delegated parking amendments on the north side of Strathcona Avenue, between Jones Avenue and Blake Street.
