Origin
Summary
In 2022, by TE33.73, Toronto East York Community Council approved converting a section of Cumberland from its current one way eastbound direction to a two way operation between Avenue Road and the pedestrian crossover, to ensure safety within the Yorkville neighbourhood at the request of the local resident associations. This included associated parking changes.
Unfortunately, the changes were never implemented. Due to a miscommunication between Transportation Services and the ward councillor’s office, the changes made by TE33.73 were erroneously revoked in 2024 as part of a motion relating to CafeTO, TE13.19. Both the ward councillor and the neighbouring residents association wish to have this error corrected and the changes approved in 2022 reinstated and implemented.
