The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 8, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 12 rental dwelling units located at 1930-1938 Bloor Street West and 3, 5 and 21 Quebec Avenue.

The OLT withheld its final Order until outstanding matters, including a decision by City Council on the Rental Housing Demolition application, are resolved.

The subject properties comprise part of the Dominion Radiator Complex, a Late-Victorian era industrial compound defined by Factory Office buildings grouped around an open, central courtyard. The prominent Toronto architect, E.J. Lennox, is attributed to the adaptation and expansion of buildings on the site during Dominion Radiator's ownership (1889-1907). The functional industrial design of the Foundry, Mixing & Core Oven Buildings with their large footprints and the tall brick chimneys are typical Victorian industrial buildings. The site constitutes a cultural heritage landscape that facilitated heavy industrial manufacturing and contributed to the historic character of Parkdale.

This Heritage Permit application is in connection with an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit three mixed use buildings with heights of 29, 26, and 9 storeys. The redevelopment achieves whole-building retention and re-use of the Mixing & Core Oven Buildings. The Factory Office and Foundry Buildings are to be partially retained within the new construction surrounding the central courtyard, which is to become re-animated as a Privately-Owned-Publicly Accessible-Space.

At its meeting on June 30, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB33.7 and made recommendations to City Council.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 8, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 11 rental dwelling units located at 126, 128 and 130 Avenue Road. The 11 rental units are proposed to be replaced as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right of existing tenants to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship.

The proposed development on the site is the subject of a related Zoning By-law Amendment application (23 119287 STE 11 OZ). The proposed development would permit a 11-storey residential building with 60 dwelling units, including 11 replacement rental units and 169 square metres of commercial use at grade. An approval report for the Zoning By-law Amendment application has been advanced concurrently with this Rental Housing Demolition application approval report.

This report also recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under

Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.

1. City Council approve the demolition of the category "X" buildings at 126, 128 and 130 Avenue Road, in the East Annex Heritage Conservation District, in accordance with Section 42(1) 4 of the Ontario Heritage Act and the erection of one building in accordance with Section 42(1) 2 of the Ontario Heritage Act subject to the following:

a. City Council approve the replacement building for 126, 128 and 130 Avenue Road as shown in the plans and elevations submitted by the applicant and prepared by Icon Architects dated May 8, 2025 along with the Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc dated April 22, 2025 and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, and that the replacement structure be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted plans; and

b. prior to the issuance of any heritage permit for the property at 126, 128 and 130 Avenue Road including a demolition permit, but excluding permits for interior work, repairs and maintenance and usual and minor works for the existing category "X" buildings as are acceptable to the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, the applicant provide the following to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning:

1. photo documentation of the existing buildings at 126, 128 and 130 Avenue Road; and

2. final building permit drawings for the replacement structure and a landscape plan consistent with the East Annex Heritage Conservation District Plan and substantially in accordance with the plans and elevations submitted by the applicant and prepared by Icon Architects dated May 8, 2025 and the East Annex Heritage Conservation District Plan.

The application is to demolish three existing buildings that form part of a row of buildings located on the west side of Avenue Road, between Bernard Avenue to the south and Davenport Road to the north. The EAHCD Plan allows for the demolition of category "X" buildings provided that the replacement building design complies with the EAHCD plan guidelines for new buildings.

Located on the north side of Cawthra Square west of Jarvis Street in Toronto’s Church & Wellesley neighbourhood, the subject site contains two heritage properties designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. Both properties contain a two-and-a-half-storey detached house-form building. The properties share a common, mirrored design, including design features characteristic of the Queen Anne and Romanesque architectural styles.

On May 2, 2023, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to the City to permit a new residential development at 2-12 Cawthra Square. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) prepared by GBCA Architects Ltd., dated March 31, 2023, and revised March 14, 2025, was submitted to support the development application. Through revisions to the applications, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposed alterations conserve the designated heritage properties and are consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

At its meeting on June 30, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB33.6 and made recommendations to City Council.

Summary from the report (June 13, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

 
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the designated heritage properties municipally known as 6 Cawthra Square and 8 Cawthra Square under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act in connection with the development of the subject site, and that Council grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

Located on the north side of Cawthra Square west of Jarvis Street in Toronto’s Church & Wellesley neighbourhood, the subject site contains two heritage properties designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. Both properties contain a two-and-a-half-storey detached house-form building. The properties share a common, mirrored design, including design features characteristic of the Queen Anne and Romanesque architectural styles.

On May 2, 2023, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to the City to permit a new residential development at 2-12 Cawthra Square. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) prepared by GBCA Architects Ltd., dated March 31, 2023, and revised March 14, 2025, was submitted to support the development application. Through revisions to the applications, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposed alterations conserve the designated heritage properties and are consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 2720, 2726 and 2734 Danforth Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as revised Attachment 5 to the report (June 19, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

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.

3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and report back on the feasibility of amending Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 2720-2734 Danforth Avenue from Permit Parking.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 8, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit an eight and four storey modular mass timber residential building organized around a central outdoor courtyard, and a two storey reconstruction of the heritage building at 2720, 2726 and 2734 Danforth Avenue. There are no vehicle parking spaces and 50 bike parking spaces proposed. The proposal consists of 4,726 square metres of residential gross floor area and 63 square metres of retail floor space on the ground floor. A total of 64 rental units are proposed, including six affordable rental units delivered through a funding agreement with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), conforms to the City's Official Plan and represents an appropriate use, form and scale of development.

This report reviews and recommends the Zoning By-law Amendment, with a Holding provision (H) in the Zoning By-law to address servicing matters.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend By-law 1271-2023 to extend the Part Lot Control Exemption for the lands municipally known as 276-294 Main Street for an additional three-year period from the date of the enactment of the By-law, substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 2 to the revised report (June 27, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

3. Prior to enactment of the Amending Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

4. City Council authorize City staff to take necessary steps, including the execution of agreements and documents which set out the implementation of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, to give effect to City Council's decision.

On December 15, 2023, City Council adopted the Part Lot Control Exemption Application Decision Report (2023.TE9.22), and enacted the associated Part Lot Control Exemption By-law (By-law 1271-2023) for the development located at 276-294 Main Street. The intent of the Part Lot Control Exemption Application and associated by-law were to permit the division of the site into four lots, and transfer ownership into stratified parcels which would expire after a period of two years.

This Report recommends approval of the application to permit the exemption from Part Lot Control to be extended for an additional three years to allow for the transfer of ownership for the remaining parcels.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council classify the lands municipally known as 462 Wellington Street West as a Class 4 Noise area pursuant to Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks - Environmental Noise Guidelines - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning Publication NPC-300, August 2013.

2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to forward a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks.

This report recommends that City Council classify the lands at 462 Wellington Street West as a Class 4 Noise Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP).

A Class 4 designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. The impacts of such higher levels would be mitigated by noise control measures that are part of the development at 462 Wellington Street West.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the application for the Zoning By-law Amendment (Application 22 205973 STE 11 OZ) for the lands municipally known as 699-707 Yonge Street, 1-17 Hayden Street and 8 Charles Street East for the reasons identified in the report (June 19, 2025) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City Staff, to appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal in support of City Council’s decision to refuse the application, in the event that the decision is appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other appropriate City Staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council's decision, including requesting any conditions of approval that would be in the City's interest, in the event an appeal of City Council's decision is allowed by the Ontario Land Tribunal, in whole or in part.

On September 20, 2022 a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit a 64-storey (217 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 514 dwelling units. The application was deemed complete on March 31, 2023.

This Report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law as the proposed building massing, including tower setbacks, is not acceptable and the proposed development does not conserve the cultural heritage value of the on-site or adjacent heritage properties. Therefore, the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment does not conform with the policies of the Official Plan, including the Downtown Plan and SASP 517, and does not meet the intent of the Tall Building Design Guidelines.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the demolition and new construction on the designated heritage properties at 445, 447, 449 and 451 Adelaide Street West in accordance with Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, as found in the plans and drawings prepared by architects Alliance, dated April 24, 2025, and the Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects, dated April 23, 2025.

2. In the event of an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in opposition to the appeal.

This report recommends that City Council refuse the application under Part V, Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to demolish and construct a new building on the designated heritage properties at 445, 447, 449, and 451 Adelaide Street West, in connection with the proposed development of the site. The proposal demolishes four designated contributing heritage properties to replace them with a new 17-storey building with hotel and restaurant uses. The heritage permit application reflects the incomplete application submitted through the associated Zoning By-law Amendment application (25 152956 STE 10 OZ). 

The proposed development site (the "Site") consists of four properties — 445, 447, 449, and 451 Adelaide Street West — identified as contributing residential properties within the in-effect King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (KSHCD), designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Site is adjacent to the contributing residential property at 453 Adelaide Street West to the west, and to the north, adjacent to the St. Andrew's Playground — a significant historic public space within the KSHCD dating to the 1837 Hawkins Plan. Functionally, the properties at 447, 449, and 451 are comprised of the same building, including 453 Adelaide Street West, which is not incorporated into the Site.

Staff recommend refusal of the heritage permit application, as it does not demonstrate that the cultural heritage value and attributes of the King-Spadina HCD, as expressed through the contributing properties on, and adjacent to, the Site, will be conserved in a manner consistent with the heritage planning policy framework, including the KSHCD Plan. Nor does it demonstrate that the heritage impacts of the proposal would be appropriately mitigated.

The proposal would result in the permanent and irreversible loss of cultural heritage resources that form part of the KSHCD's heritage attributes, in direct conflict with the policies and objectives of the KSHCD Plan. The demolition of designated heritage properties, and negative impact on adjacent designated heritage properties, is not consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), does not conform to the City of Toronto Official Plan, including the King-Spadina Secondary Plan and the Downtown Plan, and fails to meet or be consistent with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.

At its meeting on June 30, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB33.8 and made recommendations to City Council.

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1. Deferred consideration of the Item until the September 18, 2025 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

This report recommends that City Council approve alterations under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the Part IV designated heritage property at 149 College Street. This is in connection with an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 60-storey mixed-use building that integrates the existing 6-storey heritage property known as the Stewart Building. The report also seeks approval to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement to ensure the long-term conservation of this significant heritage resource.

The site was designated in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act, on architectural and historic grounds, by City of Toronto By-law 508-1978. The designation identifies the building, which was designed by E.J. Lennox, as "a significant work in the Romanesque Revival style, by [an] important Toronto architect." The designation identifies "large arched windows, prominent wall dormers, a fine arched entrance portico and a distinctive use of stone and brick" as noteworthy features.

A heritage permit application was submitted that integrates the retained building, including the College Street north façade, the east façade and a partial east and south façade into a base building with a 60-storey building component above. The new construction incorporates stepbacks above the retained heritage building. The transition in height between the heritage building and the tower will be moderated by a glazed reveal. A new landscape open area will be included at the northeast corner of the site. Staff are of the opinion that the proposal conserves the cultural heritage values, attributes and character of the heritage property.

At its meeting on June 30, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB33.5 and made recommendations to City Council.

The Toronto and East York Community Council forwards the Item to City Council without recommendation.

This report recommends that City Council refuse the alterations to the designated property at 2 Old George Place under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The subject site is an 'unrated' property located in the North Rosedale Heritage Conservation District (NRHCD). The applicant is requesting approval to demolish the existing second storey and construct a new two storey addition on the existing ground floor of the building. The proposed addition has not been designed so that the apparent height and form of the roof is compatible with that of the streetscape. In addition, staff are of the opinion that the addition is not compatible with heritage-rated buildings in the District (as required) with regard to materiality. As a result, the proposal does not comply with the North Rosedale HCD Plan and Official Plan and staff are recommending that this application be refused.

At its meeting on June 30, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB33.4 and made recommendations to City Council.

Elcium Construction Management Corp. is constructing a 3-storey condominium with ground floor retail at 1134 Queen Street East. The site is located on the north side of Queen Street East, between Bertmount Avenue and Coady Avenue.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend parking and traffic regulations as set out in Attachment 1 to the report (June 19, 2025) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to take effect from September 2, 2025, until regular Toronto Transit Commission streetcar service has resumed at the intersection of King Street and Dufferin Street.

2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, to collect traffic and transit data, monitor the performance of the transit priority measures, subject to data availability.

3. City Council delegate, despite any City of Toronto By-law to the contrary, to the General Manager, Transportation Services, from September 2, 2025, to December 31, 2025, inclusive, for the purposes of implementing and then addressing any operation and/or safety issues that may arise in relation to the project identified in Part 1 above, the authority to implement changes and submit directly to City Council any necessary Bills for By-law amendments to the schedules to City of Toronto Code Chapters on the streets and within the parameters as identified in Attachment 2 to the report (June 19, 2025) from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support the diversion routes associated with the closure of the King Street West and Dufferin Street intersection for Track Renewal construction works from September 2025 to Q4 2025. The 504 King, 508 Lake Shore, 29 Dufferin, and 929 Dufferin Express will be diverted due to the closure.

The purpose of this report is to propose a suite of TPMs to improve the speed and reliability of impacted TTC routes during the King Street West and Dufferin Street intersection closure and to make the necessary by-law changes to ensure the diverted TTC routes can operate effectively. The proposed changes include new ‘No Stopping’ zones, increased duration of existing ‘No Stopping’ zones, new turning restrictions, and increased duration of existing turning restrictions. The proposed changes aim to mitigate the impact on the 91,000 streetcar customers and 42,000 bus customers travelling each day on the routes affected directly or indirectly by the construction closure (based on Winter 2025 ridership).

During the planned construction, the 504A King and 508 Lake Shore streetcars will divert to Queen Street West between Roncesvalles Avenue and Shaw Street. In addition, the 929 Dufferin Express bus will terminate at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Queen Street West while the 29 Dufferin bus will divert east along Queen Street West, south along Shaw Street, and west along King Street West before terminating at the intersection of King Street West and Joe Shuster Way. The 504A King and 508 Lake Shore streetcar diversion and 29 Dufferin bus diversion onto Queen Street West and Shaw Street will substantially increase the number of transit vehicle trips and customers travelling on these roadways. During the PM peak period, service will increase from 6-7 streetcars per hour along Queen Street West to 15-16 streetcars per hour on Queen Street West between Roncesvalles Avenue and Shaw Street due to the diverted 504A King and 508 Lake Shore routes. This number grows to 35-36 transit vehicles per hour on Queen Street West between Dufferin Street and Shaw Street due to the diverted 29 Dufferin and existing 63 Ossington bus routes.

This report proposes implementing or extending existing “No Stopping” restrictions on Queen Street West and Shaw Street to cover the periods of 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Sunday, to support streetcar and general traffic operations during the diversion. New turn prohibitions are proposed at the intersections of Queen Street West and Shaw Street, and King Street West and Shaw Street, to reduce delay to streetcars and buses at these intersections. Additionally, by-law changes to support turning movements and end of line operations of the 929 Dufferin Express and 29 Dufferin on their diverted routes are proposed in this report.

As TTC operates transit service on King Street West and Queen Street West and will be operating along Shaw Street, Mowat Avenue, Liberty Street, and Fraser Avenue during the diversion, City Council approval of this report is required.

Biggar Avenue, located just south of St. Clair Avenue West at Oakwood Avenue, offers overnight permit parking for the area. Residents have shared with my office that parking on the street is difficult at most times of the day, given the limited spacing and restrictive parking rules on Biggar Avenue.

Transportation Services completed a site visit and determined that an existing parking prohibition on the east section of Biggar Avenue can be reduced to provide additional on-street parking spaces without negatively impacting local traffic flow and visibility.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on the odd (east) side of Brock Avenue, from Bloor Street West to Wallace Avenue, each Thursday, from April 1 to November 30, inclusive.

2. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on the even (west) side of Brock Avenue, from Bloor Street West to Wallace Avenue, anytime except each Thursday, from April 1 to November 30, inclusive.

3. Authorized parking by permit only to be in effect from 12:01 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily on the even (west) side of Brock Avenue, from Bloor Street West to Wallace Avenue.

7. Prohibited parking at all times on the east side of Brock Avenue, from Bloor Street West to Wallace Avenue.

Current parking regulations on Brock Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Wallace Avenue, are creating significant challenges for permit parking holders and visitors to the area. Every Thursday from April to November, residents are required to move their vehicles to the east side of Brock Avenue – where there are fewer available parking spaces. These switchover days have caused confusion and frustration among residents, as tickets are issued frequently despite a reduction in street maintenance.

A majority of the households along this section of Brock Avenue confirmed their support on a petition requesting the removal of the Thursday switchover days. The removal of switchover days will not only improve the parking supply on Brock Avenue for permit parking holders but also ensure that visitors to the neighbourhood can still locate street parking.

13. Directed the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate options to fully assume Foundry Avenue, between Powerhouse Street and Brandon Avenue, as a public highway and report on a plan to the local Councillor by September 1, 2025.

14. Requested the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to identify options to expedite the installation of traffic control signals at Lansdowne Avenue and Brandon Avenue approved as part of the 900 and 980 Lansdowne Avenue and 30 Powerhouse Street Official Plan Amendment.

Davenport Village is a rapidly growing neighbourhood bounded by Lansdowne Avenue on the east, Davenport Road on the north, railway tracks on the west, and Dupont Street on the south. Over two decades ago, a vision was developed and set in motion a plan to transform a heavily industrial zone into a liveable complete community.

Today's Davenport Village is a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood full of new townhomes, factories converted into lofts, local coffee shops where neighbours gather, and beautiful green space at its core. With construction ongoing, hundreds of new families are expected to call Davenport Village home in the coming years.

However, traffic safety improvements have not kept pace with this transformation from an industrial area to a residential neighbourhood. Residents have shared concerns about frequent speeding, serious accidents, and near misses. In particular, there has been a sharp increase in cut-through traffic as drivers attempt to avoid crossing Davenport Road – making it unsafe for people walking in their own neighbourhood. Daily northbound vehicle backups along Foundry Avenue, caused by attempts to make left turns, create noise and dangerous intersection movements. As further development is completed and more families move in, there is an urgent need for immediate safety improvements.

At a community meeting I hosted earlier this year, I met with local residents to share a plan that improves safety for all road users and reduces cut-through traffic. Residents confirmed their strong support for the proposed plan and provided valuable feedback through a public survey. This final plan, based on the feedback through public consultation, proposes:

- Traffic calming measures on Foundry Avenue, Brandon Avenue, and Powerhouse Street
- Turn restrictions to reduce cut-through traffic on local streets
- Critical intersection safety improvements
- Heavy truck prohibition to prevent large vehicles from using residential streets as a cut-through
- Expediting approved improvements to enhance access to City services and traffic safety
 

The proposed measures will significantly improve road safety and ensure that everyone—residents and visitors—can safely explore the many great spaces located in Davenport Village.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council prohibit northbound left-turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on Foundry Avenue at Davenport Road.

As part of the Davenport Village Traffic Safety Plan, a prohibition on northbound left turns on Foundry Avenue at Davenport road was proposed.

Daily northbound vehicle backups along Foundry Avenue, caused by attempts to make left turns, create noise and dangerous intersection movements. This prohibition will reduce traffic conflicts and improve overall safety.

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

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of speed bumps in the public lane west of Perth Avenue, north of Ernest Avenue, between Ernest Avenue and the north end of the lane west of Perth Avenue and north of Ernest Avenue, as shown on Attachment 2 to the letter (June 17, 2025) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo.

The public laneway, located west of Perth Avenue and North of Ernest Avenue, connects a new and growing neighbourhood just off of the West Toronto Railpath. Residents in the area have shared their concerns about speeding vehicles travelling up and down the laneway, resulting in near misses witnessed by residents in the area.

A resident-led petition confirmed strong support for the installation of speed bumps in the laneway to reduce dangerous driving and improve safety for everyone in the neighbourhood.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Prohibited heavy vehicles at all times on Stonehouse Crescent, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue.

Heavy trucks along Dufferin Street consistently use Stonehouse Crescent as a cut-through to travel towards Queen Street West. These trucks are very large and are creating challenges in the neighbourhood. Vehicles are often blocked in, and visibility is impacted as a result of the street's width – putting all road users in unsafe situations.

Transportation Services confirmed there are alternative travel routes for these trucks and that a restriction here will not impact traffic flow. Heavy trucks making deliveries to properties on Stonehouse Crescent are exempt from this regulation.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Executive Director, Transit Expansion to work with Metrolinx to assess opportunities as part of the implementation of the Truck Haul Route Plan for Exhibition Station,and report back to the September 18, 2025, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommendations and details on:

a. prohibiting northbound and southbound Ontario Line heavy truck traffic on Dufferin Street, north of Queen Street West, in both mixed traffic and dedicated bus lanes;

b. ensuring that future changes are coordinated with the planned implementation of transit priority measures on Dufferin Street and measures in the Congestion Management Plan; and

c. an expanded map to show the full onward direction of travel for the Haul Route.

2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion to present a robust public consultation plan from Metrolinx for the Haul Route from the Gerrard Portal at the September 18, 2025 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council prior to any City approvals.

3. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Executive Director, Transit Expansion and the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services to work with Metrolinx to ensure that, prior to any haul route use, Metrolinx completes a detailed structural assessment of the Dufferin Street Bridge over the GO rail corridor, a temporary modular bridge that has exceeded its intended service life, to determine the number of construction trucks, truck loading, and overall structural capacity in light of the anticipated use for the Ontario Line construction haulage, and further, that Metrolinx completes any necessary strengthening or interim remedial work identified through the assessment to ensure the bridge remains safe for general traffic and haul route operations until a full replacement or rehabilitation of the bridge can be undertaken.

4. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion to request Metrolinx to immediately install an acoustic shelter for the south construction site of the Ontario Line Queen-Spadina Station, to address the significant noise and dust impacts to the surrounding community.

5. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion to reiterate City Council’s requests to Metrolinx on Community Benefits through Items 2023.TM2.1 and 2024.TE10.40, and furthermore request Metrolinx take the follow actions:

a. identify concrete actions and opportunities to increase rates of local hiring for the construction of the Ontario Line;

b. increase transparency and public reporting for Metrolinx's Community Benefits and Supports Program by releasing data that is broken down by project and provided semi-annually; and

c. establish clear governance for the Toronto Stakeholder Working Group and convene meetings on a quarterly basis.

6. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion,  in consultation with the Deputy City Manager, Community Services and the local Councillor, to ensure that the replanting plan and maintenance for the Don Valley be shared publicly and that any consideration of parkland dedication be considered only after all maintenance related matters be finalized.

7. City Council request the Executive Director, Transit Expansion, in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to notify Metrolinx that a rat management plan should be in the Construction Management Plan as an advisory comment through the Notice of Completed Review process for Metrolinx-led transit projects.

8. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion to request Metrolinx to:

a. identify and undertake mitigation and pre-emptive actions, including those identified in this report as part of its Construction Management Plans, to minimize rodent activity caused by construction of its transit projects; and

b. provide required supports to residents impacted by rodent activity near its construction sites, including compensation for hiring exterminators and to rodent-proof homes and buildings.

9. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Transit Expansion, to provide one-window oversight on all negotiations related to Metrolinx work in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth, as it relates to non-routine permits and approvals that have or may have significant impacts to City infrastructure or interests, with a focus on achieving the outcomes identified in EX15.2 – Priorities in Transit Expansion and Transit-Oriented Communities Projects.

10. City Council direct all applicable Division Heads to consult with the Executive Director, Transit Expansion regarding any negotiations by their respective Divisions related to Metrolinx work, in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth, as it relates to non-routine permits and approvals.

City Council on June 25 and 26, 2025, referred Item TE23.29 to the July 8, 2025, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council for consideration.

Summary from the report (May 20, 2025) from the Executive Director, Transit Expansion

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 (TEYCC). This report includes updates on:

- Station specific construction issues and status of the four major packages of work Metrolinx has awarded to deliver the Ontario Line (Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance; Southern Civil, Stations and Tunnel; Elevated Guideway and Stations; and Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations).

- A summary of Metrolinx’s responses and actions to implement the Subcommittee on Metrolinx’s Ontario Line Construction Recommendations.

- A summary of Metrolinx’s outreach for residents that require a Pre-condition survey/Building Condition Assessment and the uptake rate for the assessments.

- Other items related to the Ontario Line, including heavy truck safety plans and haul routes, station-naming, business supports and community engagement.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Foxley Street, between Ossington Avenue and Dovercourt Road.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway on Foxley Street, between Ossington Avenue and Dovercourt Road, to install six speed humps, generally as shown on Attachment 1 to the letter (July 7, 2025) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.

My office has heard from residents on and in the vicinity of Foxley Street in the Ossington area regarding the need for traffic calming on their street to address safety concerns, particularly due to the nature of speeding and traffic on the nearby Ossington strip.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Prohibited standing at all times, on the west side of St. George Street, between a point 88.7 metres north of Ursula Franklin Street and a point 15.3 metres further north.

The current dedicated On-Street Logistic Mini-hub Parking zone on St. George Street, which was approved by City Council in June 2024 and currently operated by Purolator Incorporated, is experiencing frequent instances of vehicles parking illegally within this designated area. This mini-hub zone, located in a parking lay-by, provides room for the re-purposed shipping container and short-term truck parking to allow Purolator's loading and unloading activities.  The illegally parked or stopped vehicles are impacting Purolator’s daily operations.

Implementing a ‘No Standing’ zone in this location will clearly communicate that stopping or waiting in these areas is prohibited at all times, thereby discouraging illegal parking behavior and allow enforcement officers with a clear legal basis to issue tickets or remove vehicles.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council prohibit northbound left-turns at all times at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street.

2. City Council prohibit southbound right-turns at all times at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street.

3. City Council direct that Bathurst Street and Lennox Street be returned to pre-construction traffic and parking regulations upon the reopening of Markham Street north of Lennox Street.

4. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to take additional temporary traffic control measures as required to prevent illegal southbound motor vehicle traffic turning from Lennox Street onto the one-way northbound section of Markham Street, south of Lennox Street.

This letter is to direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install additional temporary traffic control devices in order to prevent illegal southbound motor vehicle traffic turning from Lennox Street onto the one-way northbound section of Markham Street south of Lennox Street, until Markham Street re-opens to general traffic, between Lennox Street and Bloor Street.

Markham Street, between Lennox Street and Bloor Street West has been closed for five years. It was scheduled to reopen to general traffic by the summer of 2024. In 2023, Lennox Street west of Markham Street became one-way eastbound, as part of the installation of safer cycling infrastructure, and in order to direct traffic from the Westbank development away from the interior of the Palmerston community.

As result, vehicles entering Lennox Street from Bathurst Street quickly encounter a dead end: they cannot physically go north on Markham Street, and they cannot legally go west on Lennox Street or south on Markham Street. Some turn around, but large numbers of vehicles drive illegally south on Markham Street, which is a one-way northbound street. This creates a serious safety hazard on Markham Street, especially for pedestrians.

This hazard is particularly acute in the summer, when children play outside. Markham Street north of Lennox Street was supposed to be open by June 2025 at the latest, but the opening has been again delayed to September 2025. Traffic enforcement has advised that they are too thinly stretched to be able to effectively protect the children of Markham Street from this dangerous illegal behavior. The only remaining option is to implement turn restrictions at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street in order to prevent vehicles from entering Lennox Street from Bathurst Street until Westbank reopens Markham Street north of Lennox Street.

It may also be desirable to convert Lennox Street west of Markham Street back to two-way traffic operation, but this requires community consultation that is not yet complete.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Requested the Manager, Active Traffic Management to install Traffic Control Personnel to assist pedestrians crossing the road at the Yonge Street and Heath Street West intersection; the Traffic Control Personnel shall be installed, from Monday to Friday at 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., until the Yonge Street and Heath Street West intersection is realigned.

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 and my office has received community feedback that prior TCP installations have made the community feel safer while crossing this busy intersection.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Re-opened Item TE23.58, Tarlton Parking Adjustments.

2.  Adopted the following additional recommendation:

Toronto and East York Community Council designate an accessible loading zone to be in effect daily, on the west side of Tarlton Road, between a point 15 metres south of Eglinton Avenue West and the first lane south.

I kindly ask for your support of my letter that will re-open and amend a motion I moved in the June 2025 Toronto and East York Community Council session that adjusted parking on Tarlton Road. Item TE.23.58 needs to be re-opened and amended to ensure that all staff recommendations are implemented.

The Toronto and East Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for the lands municipally known as 2161 Yonge Street, substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 3 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Exemption Plan on Attachment 2 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two (2) years following enactment by City Council.

2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to:

a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the subject lands described in Schedule “A” in Attachment 3 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, without prior written consent of the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; and

c. enter into a Shared Facilities Agreement and provide the requisite certification, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review, prior to the registration of a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act for any applicable conveyances.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review at such time as confirmation is received that a plan of condominium has been registered or upon expiry or repeal of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law.

4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to the lands or any portion thereof against which the Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act has been registered.

5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to repeal or amend the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law to delete part of the lands described in the bylaw, if the City Solicitor determines, in their sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review, that it is necessary prior to releasing or partially releasing the 118 Restriction from title.

6. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as maybe required.

This report recommends approval of the application to exempt 2161 Yonge Street from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act. This application facilitates any required minor realignments of the property boundary lines within the non-residential portion of this proposed 38-storey mixed-use development site. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

The Part Lot Control Exemption application implements the site-specific Zoning By-law. This report also recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act against the lands to ensure that no part of the lands can be conveyed or mortgaged without prior consent of the Executive Director, Development Review.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Logan Avenue and Floyd Avenue.

2. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to install an in-road flexible speed sign on Mortimer Avenue, east of Carlaw Avenue indicating the 30 kilometres per hour speed limit.

3. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to introduce additional ‘zebra’ road markings to improve pedestrian visibility at the intersection of Logan Avenue and Floyd Avenue.

Following the consultations on the Leaside Bridge to Danforth cycling connections, I have received substantial feedback from residents in the neighbourhood. The recent meeting on June 16th, 2025 was an opportunity to provide feedback on potential contraflow bike lanes on Logan Avenue and Carlaw Avenue.

The feedback received highlights both the opportunities and the concerns associated with the proposed designs. There were significant concerns raised regarding the potential impacts of contraflow lanes on accessibility, including challenges for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Given the extended nature of the consultation process and the need for further study of alternative routes, I request that the staff implement interim safety measures to enhance cycling safety in the immediate term. These measures would serve as a temporary but meaningful step toward improving active transportation infrastructure while allowing for a more comprehensive review of long-term solutions.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Appointed, in accordance with the City's Public Appointments Policy, the following nominees to the Community Centre 55 Board of Management, at pleasure of Council, for a term expiring on June 30, 2029 and until successors are appointed:

- Natalie Johnson

- Pauline Gran

The purpose of this letter is to make changes to the Centre 55 Board of Management. The Board confirmed two new appointments at their June 10th Annual General Meeting.

The Board confirms that these nominees are qualified to serve under the provisions of the City of Toronto's Public Appointments Policy and the Relationship Framework for Community Centre Boards of Management.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the temporary parking regulations on streets in the vicinity of Exhibition Place that are impacted during the Canadian National Exhibition, identified in Attachment 1 to the report (July 7, 2025) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services; the temporary parking regulations will override all existing regulations for the duration of this event (August 15, 2025 to September 1, 2025).

This staff report concerns a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. The temporary parking amendments recommended are required to enhance traffic operations and pedestrian safety during this year's Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which takes place from August 15 to September 1, 2025, inclusive.

A companion report, "Temporary Adjustments to Traffic and Parking Regulations for 2025 Canadian National Exhibition (Non-Delegated)", dated July 8, 2025, outlines the required non-delegated temporary traffic and parking amendments for locations with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the temporary traffic and parking regulations on streets in the vicinity of Exhibition Place that are impacted during the Canadian National Exhibition identified in Attachment 1 to the report (July 7, 2025) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services; the temporary parking regulations will override all existing regulations for the duration of this event (August 15, 2025 to September 1, 2025).

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's authority to enact temporary traffic and parking amendments required to enhance traffic operations and pedestrian safety during the annual Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which takes place from August 15 to September 1, 2025, inclusive. As this staff report concerns roadways with regular Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service, City Council approval is required.

A companion report, "Temporary Adjustments to Parking Regulations for 2025 Canadian National Exhibition (Delegated)", dated July 8, 2025, outlines the required delegated temporary parking amendments for locations without TTC service.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 

1. City Council designate an accessible loading zone to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Kingston Road, between a point 15 metres west of Silver Birch Avenue and a point 11 metres further west.

My office has received a request from the Pegasus Staff regarding accessibility challenges their staff face outside of their business. They require a safe, accessible loading zone for daily pick-up and drop-off during the work week to accommodate staff with accessibility requirements. 

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Authorized an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Leuty Avenue and Alfresco Lawn.

Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about pedestrian safety on their roadway.  Our office has received a petition from residents with support for the installation of all-way stop controls at the above mentioned intersection.

I am requesting that all-way stop controls be installed at Leuty Avenue and Alfresco Lawn.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:  

1. City Council assume the services and roads installed within Regent Park Phase 2 relating to the Registered Plan of Subdivision 66M-2491.

2. City Council authorize the Director, Engineering Review, Development Review to release the performance guarantee held with respect to the municipal services in accordance with the Subdivision Agreement, dated June 1, 2011, between Toronto Community Housing and the City of Toronto.

3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to prepare an assumption By-law to assume the public highway within Plan of Subdivision 66M-2491 and to bring it forward for enactment.

4. City Council authorize the appropriate City Officials to take the necessary action to give effect to City Council’s decision.

5. City Council authorize the appropriate City Officials to transfer ownership of the street lighting system constructed with Registered Plan of Subdivision 66M-2491 to Toronto Hydro.

This report recommends City assumption of the municipal services installed under the terms of the Subdivision Agreement, dated June 1, 2011, and amending agreement, dated February 28, 2024, between Toronto Community Housing Corporation and the City of Toronto relating to registered Plan of Subdivision 66M-2491.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the feasibility of excluding the following properties from the Permit Parking program:

- 1245 Dupont Street;

- 1260 Dufferin Street;

- 213 Emerson Avenue; and

- 10 Graphophone Grove.

I am requesting that the development at the Galleria Mall site be excluded fron the on-street permit parking program.

Excluding new developments from on-street permit parking helps manage the parking supply and encourages residents to adopt more sustainable transportation options such as walking, cycling, and transit. This aligns with the City’s broader goals to reduce congestion and lower emissions.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council designate a Community Safety Zone in effect at all times on both sides of Fort York Boulevard, between Spadina Avenue and Dan Leckie Way.

As the local Councillor, I often hear from residents who are concerned about pedestrian safety on Fort York Boulevard, between Spadina Avenue and Dan Leckie Way.

At this location, Fort York Boulevard is a minor arterial road where vehicles often travel in excess of the posted 30km/h limit. Providing access to many important community resources in this neighbourhood, this stretch of road sees a high level of foot traffic. Pedestrians using Fort York Boulevard often include school-age children travelling to and from Jean Lumb Public School, Bishop Macdonnell Catholic School, The Neighbourhood Group Child Care Centre, as well as visitors to Canoe Landing Community Recreation Centre and Canoe Landing Park.  As you know, Vision Zero strategies in the City of Toronto recognise that excessive speeds are a contributing factor to traffic-related injuries and fatalities.

In the past, I have worked with Transportation Services to review this stretch of Fort York Boulevard for road safety measures. However, the designation of this road as a Community Safety Zone presents a unique opportunity to permanently create safer conditions for pedestrians through the designation of a Community Safety Zone and the subsequent increase in fines for speeding.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Requested the Director, Traffic Management to come forward with Recommendations and drawings for traffic calming measures (including speed humps) on Elm Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North, for submission at the Toronto and East York Community Council meeting taking place on September 18, 2025.

For the last year, detailed conversations have been taking place between Branksome Hall school, parents of its students and nearby residents about traffic, parking and safety concerns associated with school pickup and drop-off times. Discussion is continuing about the Elm/ Sherbourne traffic lights requested by the school and recommended by city staff, and other measures to encourage students to walk to school. Meanwhile, the school and the community have agreed to certain interim changes to promote traffic safety, including speed humps.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Amended the existing school bus loading zone, in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive, on the west side of Boulton Avenue between a point 30.5 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 28 metres further south, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive.

2.  Amended the existing maximum 10-minute parking regulation, in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive, on the west side of Boulton Avenue between a point 58.5 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 25.5 metres further south, to be in effect from 8:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive.

3.  Amended the existing parking prohibition, in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive, on the west side of Boulton Avenue between a point 58.5 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 25.5 metres further south, to be in effect from 8:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive.

4.  Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. all times except no parking anytime from a point 30.1 metres north of Clark Street to a point 6.8 metres further north on the even (west) side of Boulton Avenue, from Clark Street to Dundas Street East.

5.  Authorized permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 8:00a.m. daily on the even (west) side of Boulton Avenue, from Clark Street to Dundas Street East.

Parking amendments are recommended on Boulton Avenue with respect to the City-wide review of impacts from changes to school operating times directed through IE12.15. Since June 2020 when these changes were implemented - Dundas Junior Public School staff, TDSB Trustee Ehrhardt, and affected parents have expressed safety concerns regarding the signage on Boulton Avenue, south of Dundas Street East. Transportation staff recommends the following amendments to alleviate traffic and ensure safe pick up and drop off for students, parents, school bus drivers, and residents alike.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council designate a temporary school bus loading zone in effect, from 7:30 a.m. to  6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, between Badgerow Avenue and a point 20 metres north, from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, inclusive.

2. City Council rescind the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday; 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, at a rate of $3.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three (3) hours, on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, between Badgerow Avenue and a point 20 metres north, from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, inclusive.

3. City Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, between Badgerow Avenue and a point 20 metres north, from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, inclusive.

4. City Council authorize a parking machine designation in effect from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday; and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, at a rate of $3.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three (3) hours, on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, between Badgerow Avenue and a point 20 metres north, from September 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, inclusive.

5. City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to submit directly to City 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.

Residents have been deeply affected by the intrusive Ontario Line construction carried out by Metrolinx. One of the main construction sites has been at Pape and Langley, directly affecting the safety and quality of education at Pape Avenue Junior Public School and Pape Children’s House childcare centre at 220 Langley Avenue.

The Toronto District School Board has approved the temporary relocation of these facilities to the Adult Learning Centre located at 540 Jones Avenue for two academic years, from September 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.

To support this relocation, Toronto Lands Corporation has requested a school bus zone on Carlaw at Badgerow to accommodate the 3 school buses transporting children from Pape Avenue Junior Public School and Pape Children’s House childcare centre cumulatively.
