The Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 2950 Birchmount Road and 3600 Finch Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 6 to this Report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City’s Official Plan.

The L-shaped mid-rise building proposed is appropriately scaled for the site and surrounding area. The proposed new mixed-use building would provide adequate separation from West Highland Creek and appropriate setbacks from Birchmount Road and Finch Avenue East. It would also provide an appropriate mix of unit sizes including larger residential units suitable for families. The proposal would include improvements to the public realm and provide a range of uses within the Finch-Warden Revitalization Area.

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

The Director, Community Planning Scarborough District, recommends that:

The Director of Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 20 Robintide Court.

This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 20 Robintide Court. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is concern that the tree will fail and damage their recently renovated home.

The silver maple tree (Acer saccharium) measures 125 centimetre in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the City's decision to deny a tree permit.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.

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 Malvern West Neighbourhood Streets Plan (NSP) and seek authorization to proceed to the implementation phase. The Malvern West Neighbourhood Streets Plan study encompassed an assessment of existing conditions in the study area, analysis to determine appropriate changes to the streets, and a multi-staged engagement process with the public and community organizations.

This report summarizes the study findings and recommends road safety and traffic management changes for implementation in the Malvern West neighbourhood. Recommended changes include intersection safety improvements and traffic calming measures.

A companion report titled Traffic Safety Improvement–Washburn Way has been submitted. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Washburn Way, City Council approval of changes recommended in the companion report is required.

A summary of all changes proposed can be found in Table 5.

The estimated cost for the installation of one speed hump or speed cushion is $4,000; up to 30 speed humps are recommended, a total cost of $120,000 phased over multiple implementation years. The estimated cost for installing a pedestrian crossover is $150,000.

Funding of total $270,000 for the installation of 30 speed humps and one pedestrian crossover is available, categorized as health and safety, in the approved 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services. 

If the number of approved requests for roadway traffic calming measures exceed the city-wide budget allocated for installation, funding for approved installations will be prioritized using a Prioritization Score.

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

1. City Council, to reduce the operating speed of Washburn Way:

a. reduce the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Washburn Way between Tapscott Road and Sheppard Avenue East;

b. authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed cushions) and direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway to install traffic calming (speed cushions) on Washburn Way between Tapscott Road and Sheppard Avenue East, generally as shown on Attachment 1, Attachment 2, Attachment 3, Attachment 4, and Attachment 5, dated April 2025, to the report dated September 2, 2025, from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services;

c. amend parking regulations as generally described in Attachment 6, in conjunction with the installation of speed cushions on Washburn Way; and

d. amend Schedule XLV (Part 1) to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, to remove Washburn Way between Sheppard Avenue East and Tapscott Road from being excluded from the Designated Area such that this portion of highway will then be included within the corresponding designated area in Column 1 in Schedule XLV (Part 1).

2. City Council, to improve pedestrian crossing protection at the intersection of Washburn Way and Nahanni Terrace:

a. authorize the installation of a traffic control signal (intersection pedestrian signal) at the intersection of Washburn Way and Nahanni Terrace;

b. authorize the removal of existing pedestrian crossover on Washburn Way immediately north of Nahanni Terrace, in conjunction with the installation of a traffic control signal (intersection pedestrian signal); and

c. amend parking regulations to implement no standing in effect at all times on both sides of Washburn Way, between a point 30.5 metres north of Nahanni Terrance and a point 30.5 metres south of Nahanni Terrance.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Washburn Way, City Council approval of recommended changes is required.

In consultation with the local community, staff developed a Neighbourhood Streets Plan for the Malvern West neighbourhood that investigated excessive speeding of motor vehicles on neighbourhood streets and road safety for vulnerable road users (i.e. seniors, school children, pedestrians and people cycling). A companion report to Scarborough Community Council titled Malvern West Neighbourhood Streets Plans, dated September 2, 2025, outlines the plan. Washburn Way is a Collector Road that plays an important role in the local network in Malvern West.

The estimated cost for the installation of one set of speed cushion is $4,000; up to 5 sets of speed cushions are recommended for an estimated cost of $20,000. The estimated cost for the installation of an Intersection Pedestrian Signal (IPS) at Washburn Way and Nahanni Terrace is $200,000. 

Funding of $220,000 for the removal of a pedestrian crossover, installation of a pedestrian signal, installation of 5 speed cushions, and signage associated with all necessary parking restrictions is available, categorized as health and safety, in the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.  

If the number of approved requests for roadway traffic calming measures exceed the city-wide budget allocated for installation, funding for approved installations will be prioritized using a Prioritization Score.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the financial impact section.

The Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1.  City Council not authorize the installation of traffic control signals at Milner Avenue and Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres.

2.  City Council not prohibit pedestrian crossings on Milner Avenue, between the east curb line of Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres and a point 30.5 metres west of the west curb line of Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres, in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals as set out in Part 1 above.

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

Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection at the intersection of Milner Avenue and Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of pedestrian crossing protection on Milner Avenue at Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres, as the warrant criteria was not met for either a pedestrian crossover (PXO) or traffic control signals.

There is no financial impact resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in the report.

If Scarborough Community Council amends the recommendations in this report and authorizes the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Milner Avenue and Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres, the estimated cost for the traffic signals and the associated works, including the relocation of the eastbound Toronto Transit Commission bus stop and potential tree removal, is $250,000.00. Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2026 Capital Budget.

The Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council amend the existing maximum 30-minute parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Slan Avenue, between Greenock Avenue and a point opposite Spraywood Gate, to be in effect from Greenock Avenue to a point 85 metres east.
 

2. Scarborough Community Council authorize parking for a maximum period of 30 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Slan Avenue, between a point 107 metres east of Greenock Avenue and a point 30 metres further east.

3. Scarborough Community Council rescind the existing school bus loading zone in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on the north side of Slan Avenue, between a point 72 metres east of Greenock Avenue and a point 67 metres further east.

4. Scarborough Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the north side of Slan Avenue, between a point 85 metres east of Greenock Avenue and a point 22 metres further east.

5. Scarborough Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the north side of Slan Avenue, between a point 137 metres east of Greenock Avenue and a point 21 metres further east.

6. Scarborough Community Council prohibit eastbound and westbound U-turn movements on Slan Avenue, between Greenock Avenue and Montavista Street.

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 parking amendments and a U-turn prohibition on Slan Avenue to improve traffic flow and safety for all road users in front of Heather Heights Junior Public School.  The proposed parking amendments include the removal of the existing school bus loading zone, as it is no longer required.  Additionally, the short-term parking area will be adjusted and stopping will be prohibited in front of the school’s driveways to keep the area clear of parked vehicles.  Finally, a U-turn prohibition is proposed for both sides of the street to improve sightlines and reduce collision risks.  The proposed changes will create additional parking spaces for parents and guardians to pick-up and drop-off students, enhance visibility, and create a safer environment for students, parents, and other road users.

These recommendations are in consultation with the school principal, a school representative, Green Communities Canada, and the Councillor’s office.

The signage costs associated with the proposed amendments are approximately $2,500.00.  Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2025 Operating Budget.

The Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at Sheppard Avenue East, at a point 130 metres east of Allanford Road.

2. City Council authorize the removal of the pedestrian refuge island on Sheppard Avenue East, at a point 130 metres east of Allanford Road, in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals at Sheppard Avenue East, at a point 130 metres east of Allanford Road, as set out in Recommendation 1 above.

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

Transportation Services staff are recommending the removal of the pedestrian refuge island (PRI) on Sheppard Avenue East, approximately 130 metres east of Allanford Road, and replacing it with traffic control signals at the same location.

There are several factors for the proposed recommendations:

- Pedestrian refuge island's do not provide right-of-way for pedestrians and are not considered an enhanced form of pedestrian crossing protection

- The heavy traffic on the five-lane cross-section of Sheppard Avenue East poses potential safety concerns for pedestrians crossing at the pedestrian refuge island between Agincourt Mall on the north side of Sheppard Avenue East and the seniors' residence located on the south side of Sheppard Avenue East.

- Due to the immediate proximity to the senior residence at 3825 Sheppard Avenue East, the subject pedestrian refuge island is used predominantly by seniors who often require extra time to cross the road.

- The potential concerns involving pedestrians crossing the subject area suggests that additional crossing protection should be considered at this location.

The replacement of pedestrian refuge island with traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken. 

The estimated cost for the removal of the pedestrian refuge island located on Sheppard Avenue East, approximately 130 metres east of Allanford Road, for traffic control signals installation at the same location, and all associated work is $250,000.00. Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2026 Capital Budget.

Councillor Nick Mantas recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council temporarily close Dowry Street to vehicular traffic between a point 15 metres west of the east end of Dowry Street and a point 44.1 metres further west, from September 18, 2025, until such time that Metrolinx can design and deliver the permanent road closure to facilitate pedestrian and cycling infrastructure improvements to Agincourt GO Station.

The purpose of this motion is to request a temporary closure of Dowry Street.

A permanent road closure by Metrolinx was approved in 2018, Agenda Item History - 2018.SC32.40, while Metrolinx completes the work necessary for the permanent closure, the community has requested I expediate a temporary closure of Dowry Street until the permanent closure by Metrolinx is completed.

Currently, vehicles are using this dead-end portion of Dowry Street to drop off and pick up GO passengers, causing traffic chaos and creating unsafe conditions for vulnerable road users accessing Agincourt GO.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that the Scarborough Community Council:

1. Re-open Item SC17.7, titled 17 Bellehaven Crescent - Fence Exemption.

2. Consider this Item at the next Scarborough Community Council meeting on October 22, 2025 and that Notice be issued in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 447, Fences.

Following the November 1, 2024 Scarborough Community Council meeting, additional context has been advanced which, on balance, justifies reconsideration of this matter.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that:

1. City Council designate a Community Safety Zone in effect at all times on both sides of Kingston Road, between Valhalla Boulevard and Birchmount Road.

Community groups and members have consistently raised concerns regarding traffic safety along Kingston Road, particularly in the stretch between Valhalla Boulevard and Birchmount Road. This corridor serves as a major arterial route with high vehicle volumes and speeds, while also functioning as an important pedestrian and cycling link for residents, schools, and local businesses.

The area is home to key community institutions, including the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13 and Birch Cliff Public School. Both generate significant pedestrian activity, with seniors, veterans, students, and families frequently crossing Kingston Road. The mix of heavy traffic volumes with vulnerable road users creates a heightened safety risk. Residents have voiced concerns about speeding, aggressive driving, and the challenges faced by children and seniors navigating this section of the road.

Designating a Community Safety Zone provides an additional enforcement and deterrence tool, as it allows for increased penalties for traffic violations. This reinforces the City’s commitment to protecting its most vulnerable road users and prioritizing safety over speed in high-risk areas.

Community Safety Zones are intended to safeguard locations where there is a demonstrated need for enhanced protection. Establishing a zone on Kingston Road between Valhalla Boulevard and Birchmount Road will help mitigate risks, support the safe operation of nearby community facilities, and align with the broader goals of the City’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council rescind the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the north side of Northview Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and Blantyre Avenue.

2. Scarborough Community Council authorize parking by permit only from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily on the event (north) side of Northview Avenue from Victoria Park Avenue to Blantyre Avenue.

In response to requests from residents of Northview Avenue, the Ward Councillor asked Transportation Services to review the feasibility of introducing overnight on-street permit parking. City staff subsequently completed the required study in July 2025, which confirmed that there was capacity to create permit parking spaces on the street.

Following the study, a poll was mailed to residents between Victoria Park Avenue and Blantyre Avenue. Of the ballots returned, 35 of 58 were in favour, meeting the required threshold under Municipal Code Chapter 925. Based on these results, Scarborough Community Council adopted Item SC23.19 on June 5, 2025, authorizing overnight on-street permit parking on the odd (south) side of the street and prohibiting parking at all times on the north side.

Since the adoption of SC23.19, residents have raised concerns that the number of available spaces is not sufficient to meet the community’s parking needs. Many households do not have access to garages or private driveways, resulting in repeated overnight ticketing and ongoing challenges in finding legal parking. To address these concerns, this motion proposes to rescind the existing prohibition on the north side of Northview Avenue and authorize overnight on-street permit parking on the even (north) side from Victoria Park Avenue to Blantyre Avenue. This will provide additional regulated, equitably distributed spaces, while ensuring flexibility to accommodate accessibility needs where required. Without this motion, residents would continue to face significant challenges in accessing parking on their street, whereas approval establishes a transparent, regulated system that directly responds to concerns raised during consultations.

Scarborough Community Council will introduce bills.
