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 for Toronto East York Community Council to consider an appeal from the property owner of 495-517 Wellington Street West, a multi-tenant commercial building regarding their proposed encroachment application. The proposed encroachment consists of an illuminated electrified ground sign ("the sign") to identify multiple tenants in this commercial building. The proposed sign consists of aluminum and acrylic construction, measuring 4.05 metres high, 1.43 metres wide and 0.62 metres thick, with a foundation depth of 1.37 metres within the public right of way, which is in contravention of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use Of.

The property owner is seeking authority from Toronto and East York Community Council to permit an electrified ground sign to be installed within the public right-of-way fronting 495-517 Wellington Street West and enter into an encroachment agreement with the City.

The proposed ground sign encroachment does not meet the requirements of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use Of, for delegated approval as an encroachment by the General Manager, Transportation Services. The owner will be given an opportunity to make a deputation before Community Council.

There are no financial impacts resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report.

At its meeting on December 4, 2024, the Toronto and East York Community Council deferred Item TE18.18 "Encroachment Appeal - 495-517 Wellington Street West - Proposed Ground Sign" to its next meeting on January 14, 2025. The Ward Councillor requested Transportation Services to consult with City Planning staff regarding the proposed sign and to work with the applicant to explore alternative locations for it, such as placing it on or closer to the building wall. The King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District Plan contains guidelines which provide direction on the erection of signs on properties so that they will not negatively impact the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of the District.

This report is provided for information purposes to update Toronto and East York Community Council on feedback received from Heritage Planning staff and provide an update on the feasibility of an alternative sign location.

There are no financial impacts to the City related to this informational report.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Charles Street West, between a point 49 metres east of Bay Street and a point 66.5 metres west of Yonge Street, to be in effect between Balmuto Street and Yonge Street.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council designate a 40 kilometers per hour speed limit on Charles Street West, between Queen's Park and Yonge 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 the designation of a Commercial Loading Zone (CLZ) to operate at all times on the south side of Charles Street West, between Bay Street and Balmuto Street.  The proposed commercial loading zone will help facilitate loading and unloading operations for businesses on this section of Charles Street West.

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy with the speed limit on Charles Street West.  As it is classified as a collector road, the speed limit should be 40 km/h. Recommendation 4 will address this inconsistency.

There are no financial implications to this report. The estimated amount of $1,146.75 for the installation, plus the annual fee of $2,171.40 for the commercial loading zone will be borne by the applicant.

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

1. Toronto and East York Community Council approve amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-laws for Draper Street between Wellington Street West and Front Street West as described in Attachment 2 to the report (April 10, 2025) from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services.

Draper Street between Front Street West and Wellington Street West is scheduled for watermain replacement, road reconstruction, and streetscape improvements in 2025.

Transportation Services is recommending shifting on-street parking from the east side of Draper Street to the west side in order to accommodate various streetscape improvements planned along the length of Draper Street. The proposed amendment would not result in the loss of any on-street parking spaces.

The estimated cost to implement the proposed street improvements that necessitate the parking by-law amendments recommended in this report is $500,000. Funding has been secured through Section 37 Funds from various developments in the area and is available in the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services (CTP424-05).

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

1. Toronto and East York Community Council approve amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-laws for Breadalbane Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street as described in Attachment 2 to the report (April 10, 2025) from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services.

Breadalbane Street, extending between Yonge Street and Bay Street, is scheduled for road resurfacing and streetscape improvements in 2025. The project includes curb extensions with integrated green infrastructure and seating features associated with a midblock pedestrian connection, between the Opera Place Park and Dr. Lilian McGregor Park.

Community Council approval of on-street parking by-law amendments along the south side of Breadalbane Street is required to facilitate proposed streetscape improvements, which will be delivered in conjunction with the road resurfacing work in 2025. The proposed amendments would reduce the existing 19 paid on-street parking spaces in this section of Breadalbane Street to 15 spaces.

The estimated cost to implement the proposed street improvements associated with the parking by-law amendments as recommended in this report is $330,000. Funding has been secured through Section 37 Funds from various developments in the area and is available in the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services (CTP421-04).

The permanent removal of four (4) on-street parking spaces proposed in this report would reduce Toronto Parking Authority's annual gross revenue by an estimated $26,500.

Transportation Services is recommending that the existing stopping prohibition on the east side of Peveril Hill North be extended further south in order to accommodate an approved front yard parking pad.  Upon completion of the front yard parking pad, there would not be sufficient space for a motorist to park between the front yard parking pad and the public laneway located just north the applicant.  Accordingly, the existing stopping prohibition should be extended by 11 metres south.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between the posted signs and the by-lawed parking regulations. Recommendations 3 and 4 will correct this inconsistency.

The signage costs associated with the proposed amendments are approximately $800.00. Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2025 Operating Budget.

This issue has created serious traffic and safety hazards for residents, especially during the winter months when snow removal is impacted.

This proposed change upgrades the current parking restriction from a no parking area to a no stopping, which will allow for more effective enforcement, discourage repeat violations, and improve safety in the community.

Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council consider the following recommendations in the report (April 25, 2025) from the Deputy Chief Building Official and Director, Toronto and East York District and decide to:

1. Refuse the application to demolish the vacant residential building at 1113 Dundas Street West because there is no building permit issued to replace the existing buildings on the site; or

2. Approve the application to demolish the vacant residential building at 1113 Dundas Street West without any conditions; or

3. Approve the application to demolish the vacant residential building at 1113 Dundas Street West with the following conditions:

a. that construction fences be erected in accordance with the provisions of the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 363, Article 7, if deemed appropriate by the Chief Building Official;

b. the immediate removal of all debris and rubble after demolition;

c. the laying of sod on the site and maintenance of the site free from garbage and weeds, in accordance with the Municipal Code Chapter 629-10, paragraph B and 629-11; and

d. the backfilling of any holes on the property with clean fill.

I am recommending that Toronto East York Community Council add to the agenda the attached report from the Project Director, Business Transformation and Citywide Priorities, Toronto Building.

1113 Dundas Street West is one of the City’s five ‘Public Builder Model’ sites and part of the City Council-approved Mass Timber Pilot Study.

CreateTO, the City of Toronto’s real estate agency, is responsible for the overall project and will lead the demolition of the existing buildings at 1113 Dundas Street West.

CreateTO as owner has advised that demolishing the building prior to building permit applications being issued will allow the development to implement the necessary measures to mitigate any risks associated with construction, thereby reducing potential delays for this priority affordable housing project caused by unforeseen site conditions. Additionally, this approach will allow for the incorporation of any required reinforcements to further support the adjacent property.

I respectfully request this report be added to the May 1, 2025 Toronto East York Community Council agenda as new business.

There are no financial impacts associated with this application.

As planned during the April 2025 TEYCC meeting, I request that the Toronto and East York Community Council reopen item TE21.26 - 1 Roxborough Street West – Construction Staging Area and amend the Item to include additional recommendations.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council reopen Item TE18.25, headed "Accessible Parking Spaces - December 2024 (Delegated)", from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, for further consideration, pertaining only to the accessible parking space on the south side of Riverdale Avenue.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council delete the entry in Attachment 1: On-street Accessible Parking Spaces to be Installed/Removed, attached to the report (November 18, 2024) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, pertaining only to the accessible parking space the south side of Riverdale Avenue, and replace it with the following: On-street accessible parking spaces to be installed (Table 1): Ward 14 Location - Riverdale Avenue, south side, between a point 134.5 metres east of Broadview Avenue and a point 5.5 metres further east.

At its meeting on December 4, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council approved the implementation of an accessible parking space on Riverdale Avenue. The Community Council decision can be found at: Agenda Item History - 2024.TE18.25 (toronto.ca) Transportation Services is requesting that this item be re-opened in order to adjust an entry pertaining to this location.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Logan Avenue between McConnell Avenue and Danforth 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 Logan Avenue between McConnell Avenue and Danforth Avenue, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-501, dated April 2025 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Residents of Logan Avenue between McConnell Avenue and Danforth Avenue have voted in favour of speed hump installation. These traffic calming measures would enhance safe traffic flow for residents.

Parents of Frankland Community School at 816 Logan Avenue, have also expressed their support for speed humps.

Councillor Josh Matlow recommends that:

1. City Council designate a Community Safety Zone in effect at all times on both sides of Bathurst Street, between Vaughan Road and Austin Terrace.

I am writing to request for your support of my motion to designate the Bathurst Street corridor, between Austin Terrace and Vaughan Road, as a Community Safety Zone. In 2021, my office supported the expansion of a School Safety Zone for the Hillcrest Community School, and while the current Safety Zone has authorized installations including a northbound red-light camera located south of the Bathurst and Nina intersection, the limits of the School Safety Zone do not permit any automated enforcement for southbound traffic approaching the Bathurst and Nina intersection. With the approval of this motion, this Safety Zone will be designated farther north to Vaughan Road, which will permit the installation of a southbound automated speed enforcement device.

Toronto and East York Community Council will introduce bills.
