The Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning recommends that:

1. City Council, in accordance with Section 41 of the Ontario Heritage Act, designate by by-law the area shown on Attachment 1 to the report (November 15, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, as the Teiaiagon-Baby Point Heritage Conservation District.

2. City Council adopt by by-law the Teiaiagon-Baby Point Heritage Conservation District Plan as the District Plan for the Teiaiagon-Baby Point Heritage Conservation District, attached as Attachment 5 to the report (November 15, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the Teiaiagon-Baby Point Heritage Conservation District Plan, attached as Attachment 5 to the report (November 15, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, as deemed necessary by and at the sole discretion of the City Solicitor in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning and to ensure that such stylistic and technical changes are reflected within the Teiaiagon-Baby Point HCD Plan’s policies, guidelines, schedules, appendices and maps.

 4. If there are any appeals to the by-law under Section 41 of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with the City's outside counsel and any other appropriate City staff and/or outside consultants to appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal to defend the by-law.    

This report recommends that City Council designate the area referred to as Teiaiagon- Baby Point as a Heritage Conservation District ("HCD"), identified on the map in Attachment 1 to this report, and adopt the Teiaiagon-Baby Point HCD Plan by by-law under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The designation of Teiaiagon-Baby Point (the "District") as an HCD and adoption of the HCD Plan will manage change within the District to conserve and maintain the area's cultural heritage value through the implementation of contextual place-based policies and guidelines.

The study of Teiaiagon-Baby Point for designation as an HCD was led by Heritage Planning staff, with EVOQ Architecture Inc., and was initiated in 2016 on Council direction. The HCD study process and the HCD Plan have been prepared in accordance with provincial legislation and Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference.

The District, located along the Humber River, is a significant area in the City and has cultural heritage value based on thousands of years of Indigenous settlement and use, archaeological resources and burials, natural features, and association with Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The District has historic and associative value as part of the ancestral lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and as the historic location of Teiaiagon, a mid-to-late seventeenth century Haudenosaunee village. Baby Point was also part of the larger Humber Valley Surveys designed by the Home Smith Company in the early 20th century. The District is a designed cultural heritage landscape, based on its landscape features, street pattern, and built form which reflect the Garden Suburb design. The Garden Suburb is also reflected in its homes that date from the Home Smith building period (1911-1941), during which design restrictions were put in place to protect the character of the neighbourhood. 

The District encompasses 222 properties. For all HCDs adopted following January 1, 2023, as per Regulation 569/22 of the OHA, at least 25 percent of the properties within the defined area must meet two or more of the nine criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest. In the proposed Teiaiagon-Baby Point HCD, at least 75 percent of the properties satisfy two or more of the criteria. 

In addition to community consultation over several years and an effective outreach program with urban Indigenous communities, Heritage Planning staff undertook extensive engagement with First Nations and Métis communities with rights and interests in the area throughout the HCD Plan project. This engagement built upon the initial support from the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Huron-Wendat Nation for the development of an HCD in this area. In October 2024, Heritage Planning staff hosted a final meeting with representatives from the Six Nations of the Grand River. At this meeting, attendees from the Six Nations of the Grand River provided positive feedback on the nation's involvement throughout the project and provided verbal support for the adoption of the HCD Plan and designation of Teiaiagon-Baby Point as an HCD.

City Planning confirms there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the West Queen West Heritage Conservation District Plan, attached as Attachments 5 and 6 to the report, November 13, 2024, from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, as deemed necessary by and at the sole discretion of the City Solicitor in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning and to ensure that such stylistic and technical changes are reflected within the West Queen West HCD Plan’s policies, guidelines, schedules, appendices, and maps.

4. If there are any appeals to the by-law under Section 41 of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with the City's outside counsel and any other appropriate City staff and/or outside consultants to appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal to defend the by-law.    

This report recommends that City Council designate the area referred to as West Queen West as a Heritage Conservation District ("HCD"), identified on the map in Attachment 1 to this report, and adopt the West Queen West (the "District") HCD Plan by by-law under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act (the "OHA").

The West Queen West HCD Study process and the HCD Plan have been prepared in accordance with provincial legislation and Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference.

The proposed West Queen West HCD reflects the early development and western expansion of Toronto. The portion of Queen Street within the District was originally an extension of the historic Lot Street, the base concession line dividing the military Garrison Reserve to the south and Park Lots to the north. As an early example of main street commercial development in Toronto, the District conveys a defined sense of place, with most of its buildings constructed from the 1880s to the 1920s. The District boasts a high concentration of late-19th and early-20th century commercial buildings, showcasing a variety of architectural styles of the period. The District also has a rich tradition of community and civic activity, anchored by landmarks buildings.

The District encompasses 330 properties. For all HCDs adopted following January 1, 2023, as per Regulation 569/22 of the OHA, at least 25 percent of the properties within the defined area must meet two or more of the nine criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest. In the proposed West Queen West HCD, at least 72 percent of the properties satisfy two or more of the criteria.

The Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, recommends that:

1. City Council include 53 Strachan Avenue (including entrance addresses 715, 801, 805 A, 805, 805 B Wellington Street West) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachment 1 to the report, November 13, 2024, from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.

This report recommends that City Council include 53 Strachan Avenue (including entrance addresses 715, 801, 805 A, 805, and 805 B Wellington Street West) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value and interest according to the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) found in Attachment 1.

The subject property at 53 Strachan Avenue is located on the southeast corner of Strachan Avenue and Wellington Street West, immediately north of the Lakeshore West rail corridor. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property are found in Attachment 1.

The subject property contains a three-storey, late-nineteenth century, brick factory/warehouse type building that extends one full block along Wellington Street West, east of Strachan Avenue. Constructed between 1888 and 1901, the property was the site of John B. Smith and Sons, which was considered one of the largest lumber planing mills in nineteenth century Canada. The company operated at the property for almost 80 years, until 1967.

The city-owned property was identified in 2014 as having potential heritage value as part of a heritage survey conducted through the South Niagara Planning Strategy. Another nearby former industrial site, the National Casket Company Factories at 89-109 Niagara Street, is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The property recommended for inclusion on the City’s Heritage Register has been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meets one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and is believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest.

On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of “cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years.

As of January 1, 2023, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. 

The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted.

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.

At its meeting on October 24, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of Item TE17.21 "31 and 33 Parliament Street - Construction Staging Area" to the December 4, 2024 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting. Prior to considering this item, the local Councillor requested that Transportation staff investigate the feasibility of maintaining pedestrian access on the east side of Parliament Street, including the installation of a covered walkway, and potentially reducing the overall duration of the proposed closures in the public right-of-way, and for staff to consult with the Gooderham and Worts Neighbourhood Association (GWNA).

This report contains results of the feasibility analysis for maintaining pedestrian access in this area, as well as proposed resolutions to traffic congestion concerns highlighted by the GWNA. The analysis demonstrated that the implementation of a temporary pedestrian path on the east side of Parliament Street is not feasible as it leaves insufficient space for trucks to travel northbound on Parliament Street. Measures to address additional concerns raised by GWNA regarding traffic congestion caused by the occupancy of the northbound curb lane on Parliament Street have been developed.  These include establishing a no stopping zone on the west side of Parliament Street, in the vicinity of the construction staging area and to restrict truck movements including deliveries to the sites between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., daily.

The proposed construction staging area is unchanged and required for a period of 28 months from December 18, 2024 to March 31, 2027 for 31 Parliament Street and a period of 13 months from December 18, 2024 to December 31, 2025 for 33 Parliament Street.

Currently, O'Keefe Lane, from a point 38.1 metres south of Gerrard Street East and a point 33.5 metres further south is closed to facilitate construction staging operations. In order to maintain local access to the laneway, the one-way southbound traffic operation has been temporarily converted to a two-way operation.  Pedestrian movements are maintained around the construction staging area. It should be noted that the construction staging area has been installed and is operating under a monthly Street Occupation Permit.

Transportation Services is requesting to formalize the above noted closures and traffic amendments on O'Keefe Lane. The developer has requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 38 months, from December 18, 2024 to January, 31, 2028.

There is no financial impact to the City. Concord Properties Developments Corp is responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for the occupancy of the right-of-way. Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the proposed closures on O'Keefe Lane these fees will be approximately $2,100,000.00.

The Executive Director, Transit Expansion, recommends that:  

1. Toronto and East York Community Council receive this report for information.

The purpose of this report is to provide updates on the status of construction activities on the Ontario Line project within the boundaries of Toronto and East York Community Council. This report includes:

- Updates on key early works and the four major packages of work Metrolinx has procured to deliver the Ontario Line. All four packages have been awarded and work is underway. Construction of the Ontario Line began in December 2021 and according to current schedules from Metrolinx, is expected to be complete by 2031.

- Updates on the resolution of station-specific issues at:

- Pape Station, including property expropriations, removal of parking, and construction impacts on the community; and

- Exhibition Station, including a response to City Council direction from TE16.56 - Liberty Village Traffic Action Plan Update[1] to provide an update on plans for delivering Liberty New Street and managing traffic congestion in the area.

- Other construction updates, including general construction impacts and mitigation, business supports and community engagement.

The Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services, recommends that:

1. Toronto East York Community Council receive this report for information.

This report responds to a request from City Council to provide a summary of the anticipated traffic impacts on Lake Shore Boulevard West related to Ontario Place redevelopment, including the Therme spa, Live Nation renovations, and new Ontario Science Centre.

Based on a review of the submitted data within the Transportation Impact Assessment Update (dated September 13, 2023) by LEA Transportation Consulting Ltd., the proposed infrastructure improvements in the area, and the redevelopment of Ontario Place, traffic is projected to increase between 23 percent - 40 percent during the busiest periods which corresponds with an increase in travel times along Lake Shore Boulevard West of approximately 1-2 minutes and 5-6.5 minutes during the typical weekday/weekend peak hours and special event peak periods, respectively.

Given the nature of this proposal, there is no cost to the City. All site construction and related works (e.g. transportation and servicing infrastructure) will be delivered by the Province through its agency, Infrastructure Ontario (IO), and associated construction partners.

The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation/removal of on-street accessible parking spaces at the locations identified in Attachment 1 and attached to the report entitled "Accessible Parking Spaces - December 2024 (Delegated)", dated November 18, 2024, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

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

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation/removal of on-street accessible parking spaces for persons with disabilities.

The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize the removal of an on-street accessible parking space at the location identified in Attachment 1, attached to the report entitled "Accessible Parking Spaces - December 2024 (Non-Delegated)", dated November 18, 2024, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on the subject streets, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the removal of an on-street accessible parking space for persons with disabilities.

The signage costs associated with the proposed removal of the accessible parking space is approximately $1,000.00.  Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2025 Operating Budget.

The Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. City Council approve the amendment to Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate a revised map of Permit Parking -Area 7L, as shown in Attachment 1 of the report dated November 18, 2024, from the Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services, excluding the developments located at 100 and 130 River Street.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on River Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

The purpose of this report is to respond to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to review and report back on the realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to exclude the developments located at 100 and 130 River Street.

A companion report titled, "Introduction of New Overnight On-Street Permit Parking        - Area 7L and Exclusion of Various Developments" to introduce the new permit parking area and exclude various developments on streets without TTC service.

At the same time that the newly created Permit Parking area is established, Toronto and East York Community Council directed Transportation Services to exclude certain development addresses from the program to maximize limited on-street parking capacity, namely for tenants of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) buildings within Regent Park.

Staff have determined the realignment of the Permit Parking - Area 7L is feasible and has no objections to excluding the developments located at 100 and 130 River Street. If City Council excludes the addresses from Permit Parking - Area 7L, residents and visitors of this address will be prohibited from participating in the on-street overnight permit parking program.

There is no financial impact associated with this report.

The Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the creation of a newly designated Permit Parking – Area 7L, as attached in Attachment 1 of the report dated November 18, 2024, from the Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services, and amend Schedule “B” to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate a new permit parking area “7L”

2. Toronto and East York Community Council approve the amendments to Schedule A of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, as generally described in Attachment 2 of the report dated November 18, 2024 from the Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize and direct the appropriate City officials to take the necessary action to give effect to City Council's decision, including the introduction in City Council of any and all bills that may be required.

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

Transportation Services is recommending that overnight on-street permit parking be introduced on an area basis (Area 7L), within the area bounded by: Gerrard Street East to the north, River Street to the east, Shuter Street to the south, and Parliament Street to the west.

The Ward Councillor requested the implementation of overnight on-street permit parking in Regent Park to accommodate the long-term parking needs of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) residents. On June 26, 2024, City Council exempted the streets within Regent Park from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, therefore the subject streets within proposed Permit Parking - Area 7L were not subject to petition and polling requirements.

This report also responds to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to exclude various addresses from the newly created Permit Parking Area 7L.

A companion report, titled "Realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to Exclude the Developments Located at 100 and 130 River Street " recommends the exclusion of various addresses from Permit Parking - Area 7L, that are located on a street with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.

The estimated funding to implement permit parking is $16,400 which is available within Transportation Services 2024 Operating Budget. The maximum annual revenue that could potentially be generated if all parking spaces are occupied by permit holders would be $123,365.00.

The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:  

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing one-hour parking limit in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the north side of Berryman Street, between Hazelton Avenue and a point 45.7 metres west of Davenport Road.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of pay parking on the north side of Berryman Street, between Hazelton Avenue and a point 145 metres west of Davenport Road, to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday for a maximum period of three hours at a rate of $4.00 per hour.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of pay parking on the north side of Berryman Street, between a point 45.7 metres west of Davenport Road and a point 76.3 metres further west, to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday for a maximum period of three hours at a rate of $4.00 per hour.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of pay parking on the north side of Berryman Street, between a point 122 metres west of Davenport Road and a point 23 metres further west, to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday, and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday for a maximum period of three hours at a rate of $4.00 per hour.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Berryman Street, between a point 122 metres west of Davenport Road and a point 23 metres further west.

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

At its meeting of October 24, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council requested Transportation Services to review and report back on whether to establish on-street paid parking on Berryman Street or to restrict Berryman Street to permit parking only. This report provides an update on the requested item.

Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to review the proposal for paid parking on Berryman Street, including consideration for permit parking.

Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Berryman Street to support the local community and encourage regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing one-hour parking regulation currently in effect.

The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will not impact the current parking restrictions or the existing day care pick-up/drop-off zone. The existing permit parking hours on the north side of Berryman Street will remain and can co-exist with the proposed on-street paid parking. Valid permit holders would not be subject to a parking fee where Permit Parking signs and on-street paid parking signs co-exist.

Transportation Services, at the request of Solid Waste Management, is also seeking approval to prohibit stopping from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Berryman Street, opposite the driveway that services the parking lot of Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School. This prohibition will improve access/egress operations for sanitation trucks and buses using this lane.

While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Berryman Street, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and TPA will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.

All cost associated with the necessary signage changes are included within the Transportation Services 2024 Operating Budget.

All costs associated with the installation of parking machines will be assumed by the Toronto Parking Authority.

These recommendations, if fully implemented, are projected to generate an increase in annual gross revenue of up to $70,000.00 (estimated) from the on-street paid parking program.

The Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. City Council rescind the existing no parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Yonge Street, between a point 73 metres north of Glen Elm Avenue and a point 29 metres further north.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Yonge Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is recommending on-street parking amendments to existing pay-and-display regulations, no parking regulations and the introduction of no-stopping regulations on both sides of Yonge Street, associated with a new pedestrian refuge island being installed on Yonge Street just north of the entrance to the Mount Pleasant Cemetery to a point approximately 106 metres north of Glen Elm Avenue.

The recommended by-law changes would adjust the limits of on-street parking to implement a no-stopping condition near the installation of the pedestrian refuge island to discourage parking or stopping adjacent to the pedestrian refuge island and improve sightlines.

All costs associated with necessary signage installation are included within the Transportation Services 2024 Operating Budget.

The cost associated with the construction of the pedestrian refuge island at this location is approximately $444,000, inclusive of associated streetscape improvements. Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2024 Capital Budget.

The estimated loss in annual gross revenue as a result of the proposed the removal of seven (7) pay-and-display parking spaces is $4,650.

10. City Council direct that Church Street be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Church Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

This report requests City Council approval to temporarily rescind existing timed parking prohibitions and No stopping prohibitions on Church Street between Adelaide Street East and Queen Street East and temporarily implement a “No Stopping” regulation to be in effect at all times on the east and west sides of Church Street, between Queen Street East and Adelaide Street East. The recommended traffic by-law amendment aims to improve road capacity and transit flow on the section of Church Street, which has been impacted by the TTC 501 Queen streetcar diversion due to the Ontario Line Queen Street closure.

The signage costs associated with the proposed amendments is approximately $24,000.00. Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2024 Operating Budget.

The Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services, recommends that:

4. Toronto and East York Community Council designate on-street accessible parking spaces on the west side of Strange Street, between a point 23 metres south of Queen Street East and a point 12 metres further south, from November 15, 2024, to

December 31, 2026, inclusive.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the appropriate City officials to submit directly to the Council at the appropriate time any necessary bills to amend the appropriate City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapters, and any Schedules to the Chapters, to reinstate the traffic and parking regulations to what they were implemented prior to the by-law amendments.

This report requests Toronto and East York Community Council approval for temporary traffic by-law changes on Strange Street to address the impacts of the temporary closure of a surface parking lot used by Fontbonne Ministries. The surface parking lot will be temporarily closed to accommodate an access road from Queen Street East to the rail corridor where the Ontario Line related works will take place.

To address parking needs of Fontbonne Ministries during construction, two accessible parking spaces and additional on-street parking spaces will be designated on the west side of Strange Street. Furthermore, a temporary parking facility at 356 Eastern Avenue will be provided to meet the parking needs of Fontbonne Ministries’ staff, residents, and visitors.

For Ontario Line Lakeshore East Joint Corridor works, there is no financial impact to the City. Metrolinx and the Project Co. are responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for occupancy of the road right-of-way.

The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

City Council on November 13 and 14, 2024, referred the Item TE17.41 back to the Toronto and East York Community Council and requested the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to investigate further measures to address speeding concerns on Crawford Street, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West, including, but not limited to, the designation of a Community Safety Zone and additional traffic calming measures or safety enhancements and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council by the first quarter of 2025.

Summary from the letter (October 23, 2024) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik

My office has heard concerns from residents and staff regarding road safety in their neighbourhood, primarily along Crawford Street, parallel to Trinity Bellwoods Park. In order to address these concerns, I am seeking to declare Crawford Street, from Queen Street West to Dundas Street West, a community safety zone.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on the attached Drawings TC-387 and TC-388 dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

3. Subject to approval of Recommendations 1 and 2 above, Toronto and East York Community Council reduce the speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road, in conjunction with the installation of speed humps.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Dale Avenue, between Castle Frank Road and Glen Road.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit standing at all times on the south side of Dale Avenue, between Castle Frank Road and Glen Road.

Several residents on Dale Avenue report frequent speeding on their street, endangering road users and impeding residents’ ability to leave their driveways. This issue has been compounded by frequent stopping on the south side of the narrow street, forcing cars to drive on residents’ front lawns. Transportation Services agree that speed humps and converting the parking prohibition to a standing prohibition are feasible solutions.

It is recommended that:

1. City Council rescind the standing prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of Dunn Avenue, between a point 338.2 metres south of King Street West and a point 36 metres further south.

2. City Council amend the existing accessible loading zone in effect at all times on the west side of Dunn Avenue, between a point 338.2 metres south of King Street West and a point 36 metres further south, to be in effect from a point 348.2 metres south of King Street West and a point 26 metres further south.

3. City Council amend the existing one-hour maximum parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., daily, on the west side of Dunn Avenue, between a point 236.5 metres south of King Street West and a point 101.7 metres further south, to be in effect a point 236.5 metres south of King Street West and a point 111.7 metres further south.

4. City Council amend the existing permit parking regulation from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the west (even) side of Dunn Avenue, from Springhurst Avenue to King Street West, except no parking anytime between King Street West and a point 53 metres south, between a point 128 metres south of King Street West and a point 31 metres further south, between a point 206.5 metres south King Street West and a point 30 metres further south, and between a point 338.2 metres south of King Street West and a point 36 metres further south, to be in effect from Springhurst Avenue to King Street West, except no parking anytime between King Street West and a point 53 metres south, between a point 128 metres south of King Street West and a point 31 metres further south, between a point 206.5 metres south of King Street West and a point 30 metres further south, and between a point 348.2 metres south of King Street West and a point 26 metres further south.

In 2022, Transportation staff received approval to install an accessible loading zone at 90 Dunn Avenue (formerly 150 Dunn Avenue) to accommodate Wheel Trans service at this location. Agenda Item History - 2022.TE34.172 (toronto.ca)

City Transportation Service staff have been advised that Wheeltrans vehicles have recently been modified and now only require 26 metre space to maneuver space rather than the originally approved 36 metres. The recommendations in my letter are to accommodate the need for on-street parking and still meet Wheeltrans’ requirement.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services conduct a comprehensive road safety review of Alberta Avenue to improve traffic safety and that considers the following improvements:

a. street directional changes to reduce cut-through traffic;

b. local traffic-only signage at Alberta Avenue and Davenport Road;

c. intersection safety improvements at Alberta Avenue and Davenport Road;

d. additional heavy truck restrictions;

e. rush-hour restrictions on Alberta Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West and Davenport Road; and

f. additional traffic calming measures where feasible.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services consult with local residents and resident groups in the design and consideration of traffic safety improvements on Alberta Avenue.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council by June 5, 2025, with proposed improvements to reduce cut-through traffic and improve neighbourhood safety.

Alberta Avenue extends between two busy roads, St. Clair Avenue West to the north and Davenport Road to the south. The traffic on these streets has resulted in several traffic safety issues for residents living on Alberta Avenue and the surrounding streets. In meetings with my office, residents have shared their experiences with speeding vehicles and dangerous driving on this local street used by many neighbours to walk to school or connect to transit.

Residents have requested improved traffic calming measures, but the grade level on Alberta Avenue has limited the ability to install additional speed humps. I am requesting Transportation Services complete a full review of further long-term improvements, including suggestions shared by residents, to resolve these safety issues.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services conduct a comprehensive intersection safety review at Davenport Road and Osler Street that includes but is not limited to the below actions:

a. review of existing signage and the potential installation of additional signage to improve traffic flow;

b. traffic signal timing improvements to reduce the backlog of vehicles on Osler Street;

c. refresh of pavement markings to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety; and

d. installation of geometric safety improvements where feasible.
 

2. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back with proposed intersection safety improvements at Davenport Road and Osler Street by June 5, 2025, for approval.

Residents in the Pelham Park—Carleton Village area have shared their concerns regarding pedestrian and cyclist safety at Davenport Road and Osler Street. The intersection is jogged and routinely experiences drivers making illegal turns, vehicles stuck in the intersection, and near collisions with crossing pedestrians. Additionally, timing issues result in massive backlogs of vehicles on Osler Street during rush-hour times.

As there have been minimal changes to conditions at Davenport Road and Osler Street over the years, I am requesting Transportation Services complete a full review of safety and operational improvements, including additional signage and signal timing changes.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing accessible loading zone in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily, on the west side of Delaware Avenue North, between a point 63 metres south of Davenport Road and a point 18.5 metres further south.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except no parking from a point 117 metres south of Davenport Road to a point 7 metres further south on the even (west) side of Delaware Avenue from the first lane north of Geary Avenue to Davenport Road.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council designate an accessible loading zone to be in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily, on the west side of Delaware Avenue North, between a point 101 metres south of Davenport Road and a point 20.5 metres further south.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the even (west) side of Delaware Avenue North from the first lane north of Geary Avenue to Davenport Road.

During an investigation to install pavement markings, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy in the distance for an on-street accessible loading zone on Delaware Avenue North. The wording in the by-law incorrectly set an accessible loading zone on a different section of the street, separate from where the current signage and poles are installed.

The below amendments to the parking regulations on Delaware Avenue North are required to maintain use of the existing accessible loading zone for residents and visitors on the street.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to develop a comprehensive implementation plan of the Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Strategy as outlined in the Geary Avenue Works Planning Study that includes but is not limited to the following actions:

a. introduces road safety and traffic calming measures on Geary Avenue;

b. recommends improvements to sidewalk and intersection conditions;

c. provides recommendations for bicycle-supportive infrastructure along the corridor; and

d. develops a Geary Avenue parking and curbside management plan.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to include action updates on the ten strategic directions identified in the Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Strategy as part of the implementation plan.

3. Notwithstanding recommendations approved in TE8.37 (Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Progress Report), Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back on an implementation plan of the Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Strategy by April 3, 2025.

As part of the Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Strategy, the City of Toronto committed to numerous improvements focused on supporting local neighbourhood growth and improving pedestrian safety on Geary Avenue. Over the past several years, Geary Avenue has grown to include several new small businesses, restaurants, and cultural spaces that welcome thousands of visitors every year to this vibrant area.

In that time of growth, progress on the Geary Avenue Mobility and Public Realm Strategy, including on the ten defined strategic directions, has slowed. Residents and local businesses have shared their concerns regarding continued issues with pedestrian safety, intersection conditions, and a lack of City resources for this growing neighbourhood. An implementation plan is urgently needed to move forward with planned improvements to this vital street.

12. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping to be in effect at all times on the north side of Peel Avenue from a point 28.5 metres east of Dufferin Street and a point 13 metres further east. 

13. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping to be in effect at all times on the north side of Peel Avenue from a point 65.5 metres east of Dufferin Street and a point 11.5 metres further east.

As part of the second phase of the Bartlett-Havelock-Gladstone Cycling Connections project, Transportation Services identified a need to amend existing parking regulations where improvements in the area created discrepancies in the by-laws. The proposed parking amendments confirm changes supported during consultation with residents about what was desired along these sections of Gladstone Avenue and Peel Avenue.

These recommendations, including the designation of a commercial loading zone, were shaped by public feedback and will help to support local businesses and residents in the area.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Gladstone Avenue, between Hallam Street and Dupont Street.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of five speed humps on Gladstone Avenue, between Hallam Street and Dupont Street, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-390, dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Residents along Gladstone Avenue, between Hallam Street and Dupont Street, have contacted my office to share concerns over speeding vehicles travelling through their neighbourhood. The field at Dovercourt Public School is located on the west side of this section of Gladstone Ave, and the street is used by many children and their parents to walk down to the school or up to Dupont Street.

In a survey conducted by my office, residents shared their experiences with unsafe conditions on Gladstone Avenue and overwhelmingly supported the installation of speed humps as a proposed traffic calming measure. Speed humps on Gladstone Avenue will improve traffic safety as it will create a complete connected network of traffic calming measures into Hallam Street and other neighbouring streets.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Harrison Street, between Dovercourt Road and Ossington Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of four speed humps on Harrison Street, between Dovercourt Road and Ossington Avenue, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-394, dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Residents on Harrison Street contacted my office to share their concerns regarding traffic safety issues on their street. They have shared their experiences with near accidents involving speeding vehicles off of Ossington Avenue using this local street to avoid traffic. These concerns highlight the immediate need for traffic calming measures on Harrison Street.

In a poll conducted by my office, nearly 90 percent of particpating Harrison Street residents voted in support of installing speed humps to help reduce speeding and improve safety in this growing neighbourhood.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Rusholme Road, between Dundas Street West and College Street.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of six speed humps on Rusholme Road, between Dundas Street West and College Street, generally as shown on the attached Drawings No. TC-391 and No. TC-392, dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Rusholme Road sits between two busy streets, Dundas Street West to the south and College Street to the north. Drivers often use Rusholme Road, which is designated as a local street, to avoid travelling through major intersections in the area. This increased reliance on Rusholme Road has resulted in growing traffic safety issues for residents, including speeding through stop signs, racing, and aggressive driving. As many young children live on and walk down Rusholme Road, residents have long advocated for immediate traffic safety improvements.

In a neighbourhood survey conducted by my office, residents along this section of Rusholme Road voted in strong support of installing speed humps to reduce speeding and improve traffic safety.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Westport Avenue, between Old Weston Road and the public lane east of Old Weston Road and south of Davenport Road.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of one speed hump on Westport Avenue, between Old Weston Road and the public lane east of Old Weston Road and south of Davenport Road, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-395, dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

For several years, residents on Westport Avenue have advocated for the installation of traffic calming measures on their street and the nearby public laneway. Drivers intent on avoiding traffic at Davenport Road and Old Weston Road cut through Westport Avenue through the laneway, often at dangerous speeds. Numerous close incidents resulted in residents on Westport Avenue overwhelmingly supporting the installation of speed humps and speed bumps in the neighbourhood to reduce speeding.

The installation of a speed hump on Westport Avenue will connect with the proposed speed bumps set to be installed in the connecting laneway to create a safer neighbourhood for all.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing 15 minute maximum parking regulation in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.  and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, public holidays excepted, on the north side of Harrison Street, between Ossington Avenue and a point 56.4 metres west.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, public holidays excepted, on the north side of Harrison Street, between Ossington Avenue and a point 56.4 metres further west.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except no parking 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mon. to Fri. from Ossington Avenue to a point 56.4 metres west of it; and no parking anytime from a point 12 metres east of Lakeview Avenue to a point 11 metres further east on the even (north) side of Harrison Street from Crawford Street to a point 48.8 metres east of Dovercourt Road.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize permit parking to be effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except no parking from a point 12 metres east of Lakeview Avenue to a point 11 metres further east on the even (north) side of Harrison Street from Crawford Street to a point 48.8 metres east of Dovercourt Road.

A pick-up and drop-off area was installed on Harrison Street to provide short-term parking for parents of children attending the daycare at Harrison Street and Ossington Avenue. Earlier this year, the daycare closed, and the property was later listed for sale.

Transportation Services determined there is no longer a need for a short-term parking zone on Harrison Street and has recommended its removal. The spaces will be converted to permit parking for residents and visitors in the area.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to conduct a comprehensive road safety review of McRoberts Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Rogers Road, that considers the following improvements:

a. directional changes to reduce cut-through traffic while maintaining access for local residents;

b. local-only traffic signage;

c. rush-hour turn restrictions on McRoberts Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West and Rogers Road; and

d. additional traffic calming measures where feasible.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the findings of the McRoberts Avenue Traffic Survey, as outlined in Attachment 1, in guiding proposed safety improvements.

3. Toronto and East York Community request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council by May 1, 2025, with proposed improvements to reduce cut-through traffic and improve neighbourhood safety.

In 2022, residents living along McRoberts Avenue, south of Rogers Road, participated in a traffic safety survey following years of community concerns. The results of that review determined that a majority of McRoberts Avenue residents feel unsafe as a result of dangerous driving and speeding on their street. Drivers routinely use McRoberts Avenue – which is designated as a local street – to avoid traffic on St. Clair Avenue West and Caledonia Road.

As part of this neighbourhood traffic survey, residents shared feedback and proposed solutions to issues in the area. As such, I am requesting that Transportation Services conduct a comprehensive road safety review and consider the feedback provided by residents in shaping the design of traffic safety improvements in the neighbourhood.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing parking prohibition regulation in effect each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the east side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and Wallace Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times from December 1 of one year to March 31 of the next following year, inclusive and anytime, except each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the west side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and a point 15 metres north of Wallace Avenue.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the even (west) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to a point 15 meters north of Wallace Avenue.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit parking at all times on the west side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and a point 15 metres north of Wallace Avenue.

6. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue.

Ward Street, which extends from Wallace Avenue to Lappin Avenue, has homes located on the east side and a large office complex with boulevard parking on the west side. During alternate side parking days, residents on Ward Street are required to move their vehicles to the east side of the street, where there are significantly fewer spaces – resulting in difficulty locating parking spaces in the area.

In a survey conducted by my office, a majority of residents supported the removal of alternate side parking and maintaining parking on the east side in front of homes.

It is recommended that:

1. City Council rescind the designated taxi stand for 6 taxis in effect at all times on the south side of King Street West, between a point 72.3 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 37.2 metres further east, from December 17, 2024 to November 30, 2029, inclusive.

2. City Council designate a taxi stand for 5 taxis in effect at all times, on the south side of King Street West between a point 77.8 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 31.7 metres further east, from December 17, 2024 to November 30, 2029, inclusive.

3. City Council amend the existing no stopping prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of King Street West, between a point 40.5 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 31.8 metres further east to be in effect between a point 40.5 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 37.3 metres further east, from December 17, 2024 to November 30, 2029, inclusive.

4. City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to submit directly to the Council at the appropriate time any necessary bills to amend the appropriate City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapters, and any Schedules to the Chapters, to reinstate the traffic and parking regulations to what they were implemented prior to the by-law amendments.

The TTC, Transportation Services, Metrolinx, and Oretta (CaféTO patron) have worked together to apportion frontage on the south side of King Street West, immediately east of Bathurst Street for the following uses:

- Ontario Line King-Bathurst Station Construction site: spanning from Bathurst intersection to 30 metres east of Bathurst Street

- TTC eastbound stop: spanning from 30 metres east of Bathurst Street, to 60 metres east of Bathurst Street

- Oretta CaféTO Patio: spanning from 55 metres east of Bathurst Street (approximately 5 metre overlap with the TTC stop), to 70 metres east of Bathurst Street

- Reinstate Taxi Stand: spanning from 70 metres east of Bathurst Street, to 115 metres east of Bathurst Street

The Oretta CaféTO space will overlap with the previous Taxi Stand, and existing signage by approximately 5 metres. The Taxi Stand will be reinstated once the temporary TTC streetcar stop is relocated closer to Bathurst Street. Therefore, the westerly signage delineating the former Taxi Stand space needs to be relocated 5 metres to the east, and the signage needs to be updated from “6 Taxis” permitted to “5 Taxis” permitted. The corresponding Taxi sign approximately 115 metres east of Bathurst Street shall remain in its existing location, but shall be updated to permit “5 Taxis”.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing maximum one-hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on the east side of Chiltern Hill Road, between Dewbourne Avenue and a point 44 metres south of Eglinton Avenue West, to be in effect 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations to rescind and amend the existing traffic bylaw on Chiltern Hill Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Dewbourne Avenue, to provide greater on-street parking opportunities for the community.

The residents along this section of Chiltern Hill Road submitted an overwhelming petition in support of this measure. This move will ensure that visitors and community members alike can enjoy all the community has to offer.

Councillor Josh Matlow recommends that:

1. The Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Hector Avenue, between Melita Avenue and Davenport Road.

2. The Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of two speed humps on Hector Avenue, between Melita Avenue and Davenport Road, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-424, dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Jordan Street, between a point 34 metres south of King Street West and a point 9.5 metres further south.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council designate a commercial loading zone to be in effect at all times, on the east side of Jordan Street, between a point 34 metres south of King Street and a point 9.5 metres further south.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council direct that Jordan Street be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

As part of the TTC Easier Access Project, King Station is being equipped with three below grade elevators which will provide accessibility from the existing TTC platforms to the concourse level. The project is scheduled from January 2023 to June 2026.

Construction is being undertaken in several phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and lane closures taking place on Melinda Street, Yonge Street and Colborne Street. These closures have reduced the number of loading/unloading spaces in the area which many businesses rely on for their day-to-day operations. As the downtown continues to recover from the pandemic, ensuring access to loading spaces will help support local business.

This motion would authorize the installation of a temporary commercial loading zone on the east side of Jordan Street, north of Melinda Street, in order to accommodate local business needs for the duration of the remaining construction project.

It is recommended that:

1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Shuter Street, between Parliament Street and Sackville Street, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location. 

I am writing to request support to skip petition and polling requirements under subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking in order to add spaces on Shuter Street between Parliament Street and Sumach Street.

There are existing unsigned parking spaces on the south side of Sumach Street between Parliament and River Street, but only the portion between Sumach Street and River Street permit overnight permit parking. A local resident brought this discrepancy to the attention of my office, and upon review with City staff, Transportation Services were agreeable to review adding these existing parking spaces into the 7C permit area for overnight parking purposes.

Adding these spaces in would provide a consistent parking condition across Shuter Street, as well as provide approximately 20 new overnight permit parking spaces to a permit parking area that is frequently waitlisted.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Nicholas Avenue, between Shuter Street and Wyatt Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway on Nicholas Avenue, between Shuter Street and Wyatt Avenue, to install three speed humps, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-427 dated November 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East.

I am writing to request speed humps on Nicholas Avenue, between Shuter Street and Wyatt Avenue as well as Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East.

Pedestrian safety has been a critical focus of my office. While reviewing existing traffic calming in Regent Park, my staff, in discussion with community members and with lived experience, identified these two streets for potential traffic calming measures. Future traffic calming measures will be considered as Regent Park Phases 4 and 5 moves forward.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Victor Avenue between Broadview Avenue and Howland Road.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install one (1) additional speed hump on Victor Avenue between Broadview Avenue and Howland Road, generally as shown on Drawing No. TC-409, dated November 2024, attached to the letter entitled “Traffic Calming – Victor Avenue between Broadview Avenue and Howland Road”.

Residents of Victor Avenue have reached out to my office regarding speeding concerns on Victor Avenue.  Polling returned with 69 percent support for the initial installation for 6 speed humps in 2015. There are existing speed humps between Broadview Avenue and Carlaw Avenue.  Residents have noted a significant distance and need for an additional speed hump between Broadview Avenue and Howland Road.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to install backlit chevron signs on the south side of Lakeshore Boulevard East/Woodbine Avenue within the curve in the road, on a pilot basis for up to 24 months and monitor vehicle speeds and collisions before and after installation, and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council by fourth quarter of 2026 with the outcome of the pilot.

In September 2024, my office met with concerned residents and City Staff to discuss new approaches to road safety at Woodbine Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard East. This curve has been the site of numerous accidents over the years, almost exclusively in the evening, and therefore I recommend the installation of backlit chevron signs to increase visibility for drivers. 

The estimated cost of installing six backlit chevron signs is approximately $35,000. Funding is included in the proposed 2025 operating budget submission for Transportation Services.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Barrington Avenue between Secord Avenue and Lumsden Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install four speed humps on Barrington Avenue between Secord Avenue and Lumsden Avenue, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-381, dated October 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

My office heard from residents on Barrington Avenue, between Secord Avenue and Lumsden Avenue, that speeding vehicles have become a major concern in recent years, especially with the proximity to Secord Elementary School.  After a successful petition, it is recommended that Toronto and East York Community Council adopt my recommendations.

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion being moved on behalf of Transportation Services staff, to address traffic concerns that have resulted from a new sidewalk installation on Austin Terrace. This motion is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending to prohibit parking anytime on the north side of Austin Terrace between a point 64 metres west of Lyndhurst Avenue and a point 69 metres east of Lyndhurst Avenue and to prohibit parking anytime on the south side of Austin Terrace, between a point 74 metres east of Lyndhurst Court and a point 53 metres west of Lyndhurst Court.

Transportation Services recently constructed a sidewalk in the roadway to close a 20-metre gap in the sidewalk network. The sidewalk construction required narrowing the roadway. On-street parking must be prohibited on both sides of Austin Terrace adjacent to the new sidewalk to maintain two-way vehicular traffic.

It is recommended that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council request the Manager of Active Traffic Management to install Traffic Control Personnel (TCP), in addition to the existing school crossing guard, to assist pedestrians crossing the road. TCP shall be installed as soon as possible for a duration of 1 month at the Yonge & Heath intersection Monday to Friday at 7AM – 10AM and 3PM – 6PM.  

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to re-install a Traffic Control Personnel (TCP) at the intersection of Yonge Street and Heath Street West to assist safe pedestrian crossings. The Deer Park community continues to raise concern over the traffic flows at this intersection, especially given that caretakers and their children often use this intersection as a crossing to get to Deer Park Public School. Since the TCP’s initial installation, our office has heard positive feedback from both school administration and parents about how the TCP makes caregivers and their children feel safer while crossing this busy intersection.

It is recommended that Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. In accordance with the City's Public Appointments Policy, remove the following directors from the Business Improvement Area Boards of Management set out below, and make these directors ineligible to serve on a board for four years:
 

Danforth Mosiac:
