The Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District recommends that:  

1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands at 1233 to 1255 The Queensway substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment 4 to this report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment as may be required.

This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan to redesignate the subject lands from Mixed Use Areas to Mixed Use Areas and Parks to accommodate two new parks. It also proposes the addition of two new streets (A and B), and a new Site and Area Specific Policy to provide a policy framework that supports a mixed-use development at 1233 to 1255 The Queensway. This would include amendments to Map 15 (Land Use Plan), Schedule 2 (The Designation of Planned but Unbuilt Roads) and Chapter 7 (Site and Area Specific Policies). Key elements of the proposal are summarized below.

- A total of six development blocks containing a variety of land uses including residential and non-residential.

- A childcare facility to be secured as an in-kind benefit during the Zoning By-law amendment process.

- Two new public parks with minimum areas of 7,566.2 square metres for Park A and 1,013.6 square metres for Park B, to be secured during the Draft Plan of Subdivision process. The parks would be complemented by additional public realm elements including pedestrian mid-block connections.

- Two new complete streets that include cycling infrastructure and 2.1 metre wide pedestrian clearways, with Street A connecting the site to The Queensway and Zorra Street, and Street B connecting the site with The Queensway and Street A.

- The proposal is to be developed in five phases and would allow for the continuous operation of portions of the existing mall for as long as possible during construction.

- A Housing Issues Report is to be submitted with a Zoning By-law Amendment application to address affordable housing.

Approval of this Official Plan Amendment application does not constitute or imply approval of the heights, density, and other project statistics contained in the architectural plans submitted to the City. A Zoning By-law Amendment application and a Draft Plan of Subdivision application are required to be submitted and approved by the City prior to any development proceeding on any part of the site. Proposed heights, density and other project statistics will be reviewed through the Zoning By-law Amendment application. A Community Consultation Meeting will also be held.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. It advances the Official Plan's objective of creating complete communities by proposing a policy framework that supports complete communities and represents good planning.

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, Etobicoke York District recommends that:

4. City Council adopt the Lake Shore Boulevard West (Etobicoke Creek to Dwight Avenue) Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines in Attachment 7 to the report and direct staff to use these Guidelines in the evaluation of all current and new development applications.

This report provides final recommendations as a result of the completion of the Lake Shore Boulevard West Study. The study was conducted in a three Phase process over the past two and a half years and has included extensive consultation with city staff, community members, residents, the local Councillor, landowners, businesses, local Business Improvement Areas (BIAs), Humber College, industry professionals, and other stakeholders.

Throughout the study period, changes were made to the applicable planning framework, particularly, Provincial policies and City-wide Official Plan policies, zoning by-laws, and guidelines. The proposed recommendations align with the City-wide Council-adopted policy framework for Avenues and include feedback received through the consultation process of the Study. This has resulted in recommendations that provide a tailored built form and public realm vision along the Lake Shore Boulevard West Avenue through the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments and the Lake Shore Boulevard West Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines.

This report recommends that City Council adopt the following Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments as well as the Lake Shore Boulevard West Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines, which provide guidance for future development in the area.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment (951) includes:  

- Re-designation of certain lands abutting the existing Mixed Use Areas lots fronting the Avenue within the Study Area from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas;

- Deletion of the existing Site and Area Specific Policies (SASP) 21 and 822;

-  Amendments to SASP 23 to add a policy for a Precinct Plan to be provided with the existing requirement for a Block Context Plan (contained in Schedule 3 of the Official Plan) for new development on the lands; and

- Amendments Map 7A and existing policy C9 to establish new Identified Views from the from Lake Shore Boulevard West to Lake Ontario.

The Zoning By-law amendment would apply to lands designated Mixed Use Areas to provide development permissions for mid-rise buildings. The Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines will illustrate urban design principles and best practices to guide new development, public works and local change as the area grows and evolves over time.

The recommended Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) (the "PPS 2024") and conforms to the City's Official Plan.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

A Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted to establish the necessary development blocks including an existing employment block, a park block, and a new public street and to implement the proposed phasing plan. The draft plan of subdivision will be brought forward to City Council at a later date.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City’s Official Plan. It advances key city-building objectives by delivering a comprehensive redevelopment that integrates residential, commercial, and community-oriented uses within a coordinated site.

There are no immediate financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

Community Benefits Charge

This report requests Council approval of an in-kind Community Benefits Charge ("CBC") contribution pursuant to subsection 37(6) of the Planning Act. The owner is proposing to provide 5% of the approved residential Gross Floor Area ("GFA") proposed as a condominium in each phase of the development as affordable rental housing for a term of 40 years beginning at first occupancy. The City and the owner have determined the proposed in-kind contribution is equivalent to four percent of the value of the lands if all residential GFA is developed in condominium tenure.

Alternatively, if purpose-built rental GFA is instead proposed in the development, it will proportionately reduce the amount of affordable rental housing provided in-kind and the owner will instead make a cash payment respecting the balance of the CBC owing based on the proportion of condominium and rental GFA in the phase. Accordingly, the CBC contribution will be fully satisfied through in-kind or a mix of in-kind and cash.

This report recommends that City Council approve alterations to and removal of a heritage attribute of the heritage property at 1151 Weston Road, with conditions under Sections 33 and 34(1) 1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. This is in connection with an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application seeking approval for the construction of a 46-storey mixed use building on the subject property. This report also seeks Council authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

The subject property, which contains a Part IV designated Scotiabank branch building, is located on the north-east corner of Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue. Built in 1949, the bank building originally abutted the Weston Road property line; however, to facilitate a road realignment in 1965, the building was moved back on the lot thereby creating an expansive front lawn condition that did not exist when the bank first opened.

The one-storey building was designed by Gordon S. Adamson in the modernist style to emphasize "openness and accessibility" (Designation Report, 2025). Heritage attributes of the property include ashlar-faced limestone-cladding, symmetrical north elevation, asymmetrical west (principal) elevation which has three bas relief panels, and a double entrance with a vestibule and projecting roof. The location of the building at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue West and its orientation towards Weston Road are also heritage attributes. In 1981-82 a modern side addition was constructed.

The proposed application for the subject site includes the demolition of the rear wall and the 1981-82 side addition which do not contain attributes. The front and side walls are proposed to be relocated closer to Weston Road and reoriented towards Eglinton Avenue West in order to allow for the construction of a new 46-storey mixed-use building. The moving of the building alters its location and removes the orientation of its principal façade from Weston Road.

Through revisions to the application, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal conserves the designated heritage property and is consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

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

Summary from the revised report (June 15, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

This report recommends that City Council approve alterations to and removal of a heritage attribute of the heritage property at 1151 Weston Road, with conditions under Sections 33 and 34(1) 1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. This is in connection with an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application seeking approval for the construction of a 46-storey mixed use building on the subject property. This report also seeks Council authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

The subject property, which contains a Part IV designated Scotiabank branch building, is located on the north-east corner of Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue. Built in 1949, the bank building originally abutted the Weston Road property line; however, to facilitate a road realignment in 1965, the building was moved back on the lot thereby creating an expansive front lawn condition that did not exist when the bank first opened.

The one-storey building was designed by Gordon S. Adamson in the modernist style to emphasize "openness and accessibility" (Designation Report, 2025). Heritage attributes of the property include ashlar-faced limestone-cladding, symmetrical north elevation, asymmetrical west (principal) elevation which has three bas relief panels, and a double entrance with a vestibule and projecting roof. The location of the building at the northeast corner of Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue West and its orientation towards Weston Road are also heritage attributes. In 1981-82 a modern side addition was constructed.

The proposed application for the subject site includes the demolition of the rear wall and the 1981-82 side addition which do not contain attributes. The front and side walls are proposed to be relocated closer to Weston Road and reoriented towards Eglinton Avenue West in order to allow for the construction of a new 46-storey mixed-use building. The moving of the building alters its location and removes the orientation of its principal façade from Weston Road.

Through revisions to the application, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal conserves the designated heritage property and is consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

The purpose of this report is to advise Etobicoke York Community Council of the conditions of approval for the Site Plan Control application for Woodbine GO and UP Express (UPX) Station, which will apply to the portion of the Subject Site that is owned by Woodbine Entertainment Group. At the time the zoning was approved for the site, City Council directed staff to report back to Etobicoke York Community Council on the Site Plan conditions of approval. The conditions of approval address the following elements:

- Public access easements;

- Design of Entrance Road;

- Multi-use path connection between station and Bethridge Road;

- Transportation Demand Management Plan;

- Servicing connections; and

- Tree plantings, protection and maintenance

The Site Plan conditions of approval as described in this report satisfy City Council’s direction in 2021 (Item EY 24.1) for certain elements of the transit station design to be secured through conditions of approval. 

There are no financial implications resulting from the conditions of approval for the Site Plan Control application in the current budget year or in future years.

The Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, recommends that:

1. The Etobicoke York Community Council receive this report for information.

This report provides a status update on the Islington Village Planning Framework (the Planning Framework), including information on its draft area of focus, scope, phasing, and timing.

Through the Planning Framework, Staff will be engaging with the local community and Ward Councillors to review the existing policies, strategies, and guidelines applicable to Islington Village (the Village) to identify opportunities to reinforce the area's main street character. The Planning Framework will focus on the pedestrian-oriented character of the Village, streetscape and public realm improvements, and opportunities for placemaking that enhance this character, while accounting for new Provincial direction for increased density around delineated Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSA).

A report with final recommendations is targeted for Q2 2027.

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 Etobicoke York District recommends that:

1. City Council approve a Part Lot Control Exemption for the lands municipally known as 175 and185 Eileen Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 4, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Exemption Plan on Attachment 3, 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:

a. the Plan of Subdivision (22 221213 WET 05 SB) for the property at 175 to 185 Eileen Avenue be registered to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

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

c. the owner to 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” to this Report, without prior written consent of the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

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 following enactment.

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 her sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review, that it is necessary prior to releasing or partially releasing the Section 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 may be required.

This Report recommends approval of the application to exempt the lands from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act at 175 and 185 Eileen Avenue. This application facilitates the creation of 58 freehold townhouse units.

This Part Lot Control Exemption application is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, complies with the Official Plan, and implements the site-specific Zoning By-law. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.

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, Etobicoke York District recommends that:

1. The Etobicoke York Community Council receive this report for information.

This report provides a status update on the Weston in Gear Planning Study (the Study) including Phase 1 findings, consultation events, emerging directions and Study timing.

The Study has engaged with the local community about a renewed vision for built-form, public realm and community benefits for the area. The first phase was completed at the end of 2025 and resulted in a background analysis of the existing conditions in Weston, including thermal comfort, as well as a draft vision and guiding principles. The second phase of the study is concluding and has resulted in emerging directions for the Study and associated community consultation.

The third and final phase of the Study is starting soon. A report to Etobicoke York Community Council with final recommendations from the Study is targeted for the second quarter of 2027. A draft Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) for Weston and draft Urban Design Guidelines (UDG) will be included with this report.

Funding is available in City Planning's 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan to support the completion of the study objectives.

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

The Director, Strategic Initiatives, Policy and Analysis and the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District recommend that:

1. City Council endorse the Emerging Directions, found in Attachment 8 to this report (June 17, 2026), as the basis to develop Official Plan policies for the Ryding Lands, as part of the ongoing Ryding Lands Study.

2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with other City Divisions, to utilize the Emerging Directions in the review of all current and new development applications in the study area.

This report provides an update on the Ryding Lands Study ("the Study"), including recommended Emerging Directions. The Ryding Lands are located south of St Clair Avenue West, between Runnymede Road and Keele Street (see Location Map in Attachment 1). The Emerging Directions are intended to inform the review of development applications and to guide future policy development as the Study progresses. They articulate the intent for the Ryding Lands, including transformative change from low-scale industrial uses to a more intensely developed area with a diverse mix of land uses supported by new streets, services and public spaces.

The Emerging Directions are discussed under the following themes:

- Expand the Study Boundary to the West;

- Ensure a Range of Non-Residential Uses to Support Mixed Use Development;

- Enhance the Public Realm;

- Encourage Opportunities for a Consolidated Park;

- Build a Connected Mobility Network for all Users;

- Identify Community Infrastructure to Support Growth;

- Prioritize Green Infrastructure in Development;

- Ensure Built Form Responds to the Surrounding Context;

- Support Links to Local Heritage;

- Ensure the Provision of a Range of Housing Options; and

- Support Coordinated Implementation.

The Study was initiated in the summer of 2025 by a multi-disciplinary staff team, supported by consultants for select background studies. It was initiated as a result of Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 653, which redesignated the lands from Core Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas and put in place Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 832.

To date there have been two public meetings, as well as meetings with property owners. Outreach to First Nations and urban Indigenous organizations occurred in a coordinated manner with the City's eight active Regeneration Area Studies. Regarding the Ryding Lands Study, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation asked to be kept informed.

Input from staff, divisional partners and agencies, consultants, and engagement activities has informed the drafting and refinement of the Emerging Directions. Next steps for the Study include completing the background studies and developing draft policies in accordance with the Emerging Directions included in this report.

Staff anticipate bringing forward the recommended policies through an Official Plan Amendment in Q1 2027.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

The General Manager, Parks and Recreation recommends that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council adopt the naming of a park at 3780 Bloor Street West as “Constable John Zivcic Park”.

City Council adopted the Commemorative Framework at its July 2022 meeting. The Framework provides guidance to the public, Elected Officials, and City staff regarding the commemorative naming and renaming of streets and City properties, and the consideration of proposals for new and existing commemorative monuments.

The proposal seeks to name a new park at 3780 Bloor Street West as “Constable John Zivcic Park.” The proposal has received strong support from colleagues in Toronto Police Service 22 Division and a local community organization, recognizing Constable John Zivcic’s (1979–2013) dedication to public safety and community service.

Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with the Economic Development and Culture Division and Strategic Partnerships, reviewed the application. The review concluded that the naming proposal satisfies the criteria of the Property Naming Policy and aligns with the Guiding Principles for Commemoration.

Funding for the costs associated with the production and installation of the new signage is accounted for in the capital budget to construct the new park.

The General Manager, Economic Development and Culture recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council:

This report responds to an application submitted by the property owner of 25 Franson Crescent requesting approval for a site-specific Fence Exemption under Section 447-1.2B (1) and Section 447-1.2C (1) of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447 – Fences.

The purpose of this report is to advise Community Council regarding the application submitted by the property owner of 25 Franson Crescent seeking approval for an existing wood fence that exceeds the maximum permitted height requirements. Municipal Licensing and Standards staff conducted a site inspection and obtained measurements of the existing fence panels from roadway inward. The measurements confirm that all existing fence panels located along the front driveway exceed the maximum permitted height prescribed by Chapter 447 – Fences.

Panel 1: The wood fence panel measures 1.6 metres in height, exceeding the permitted by-law height of 1.2 metres by 0.4 metres. Including the post and cap, the total height is 1.8 metres, exceeding the permitted height by 0.6 metres. The fence is not an open mesh chain-link fence or equivalent open-fence construction within 2.4 metres from the lot line where the driveway begins, as required under the by-law. Staff further determined that Panel 1 creates a sight line obstruction.

Panels 2 and 3: The wood fence panels measure 1.6 metres in height, exceeding the permitted by-law height of 1.2 metres by 0.4 metres. Including the post and cap, the total height is 1.8 metres, exceeding the permitted height by 0.6 metres. The fence sections extending beyond the front wall of the dwelling exceed the maximum permitted height of 1.2 metres.

There is no financial impact to the City of Toronto.

The District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, West District recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Refuse to grant the application for exemption by the owner of 3100 Weston Road because the fence fails to comply with the provisions of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences.

This staff report concerns a matter for which the Etobicoke York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report responds to an application submitted by the owner of 3100 Weston Road requesting a site-specific Fence Exemption under Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447, Sections 447-1.2A(2) and 447-1.2B(1) – Fences.

The owner is seeking approval to maintain an existing aluminum fence approximately 3.0 metres in height with barbed wire installed along the top, located along portions of the north and west sides of the property. The application also proposes the construction of additional fence sections along the south side of the property to match the existing fence.

Municipal Licensing and Standards staff determined that the existing and proposed fencing exceeds the maximum permitted height permitted under Chapter 447 and includes barbed wire, a prohibited fence component. As a result, a Notice of Violation was issued, and the owner subsequently submitted a Fence Exemption application.

Given that the fence does not comply with the height and construction requirements of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 – Fences, staff are of the opinion that the requested exemption is not supportable.

There is no financial impact to the City of Toronto.

Councillor Frances Nunziata recommends to the Etobicoke York Community Council that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council authorize the removal of the traffic island on Ryding Avenue at Cobalt Avenue.
 

2. Subject to approval of and in conjunction with the removal of the traffic island on Ryding Avenue at Cobalt Avenue:

a. Etobicoke York Community Council rescind the entry prohibition for westbound traffic on Ryding Avenue east of a point 20 metres east of Cobalt Avenue (bicycles excepted).

b. Etobicoke York Community Council rescind the existing compulsory stop control for eastbound traffic on Ryding Avenue at Cobalt Avenue.

c. Etobicoke York Community Council authorize an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Ryding Avenue and Cobalt Avenue.

d. Etobicoke York Community Council prohibit right-turns at all times for southbound traffic on Cobalt Avenue at Ryding Avenue.

In 2021, residents of Ryding Avenue submitted a petition requesting the installation of a traffic island on the north side of the street, east of Cobalt Avenue, to deter westbound cut-through traffic between Keele Street and Jane Street.

On March 6, 2024, during a community consultation for the proposed development at 87 Ethel Avenue, residents raised ongoing concerns regarding traffic volumes on Ryding Avenue and the anticipated increase in vehicular activity, particularly with respect to pedestrian and neighbourhood safety. In response, a petition was submitted requesting the conversion of Ryding Avenue to a one-way eastbound street.

On April 30, 2025, a motion was adopted to implement the one-way eastbound conversion. With this measure now in place and effectively reducing through traffic, the existing traffic island is no longer required and may be removed.

Councillor Amber Morley recommends that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council request that the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services, investigate the feasibility of installing pedestrian crossing protection on Royal York Road at Hillside Avenue.

Dear Chair and Members of Etobicoke York Community Council,

My office recently received a petition with over 90 signatures from Mimico residents requesting a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Hillside Ave and Royal York Road to better support access to John English Junior Middle School and Mimico Memorial Park.

In 2024, Transportation Services reviewed this request, however the intersection did not meet the City's technical criteria for installing a protected pedestrian crossing. Given continued community interest and changes in the area over the past couple of years, I recommend that Transportation Services conduct a new review of the intersection and report back on the feasibility of installing a crossing at this location.

Councillor Amber recommends that the Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Request the General Manager, Transportation Services, review intersections and pedestrian crossings within an 800m radius of 150 Eighth Street, with particular consideration for the locations identified in Attachment 1, with the purpose of implementing Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), Tactile Walking Surface Indicators (TWSI), and any other improvements to support a safe and accessible pedestrian experience for the deaf-blind community.

The Canadian Helen Keller Centre’s (CHKC) affordable and supportive development project, designed to be accessible for the deaf-blind community, is progressing well and will soon reach the occupancy stage. Located at 150 Eighth Street, this 56-unit residential development will be home to a significant deaf-blind population. At occupancy, there will be a sudden localized increase in the demographic of people who need and rely on pedestrian accessibility and safety measures so that they can safely navigate their neighbourhood.

The purpose of this motion is to recognize that this local demographic change is imminent, and to initiate the necessary intersection improvements for pedestrians to welcome these new residents to New Toronto, prioritizing their safety and ability to integrate into the local area.

Councillor Amber Morley recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Prohibit stopping at all times on the north side of Manitoba Street, from a point 78 metres east of Grand Avenue to a point 12 metres further east.

2. Request the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services, to investigate the feasibility of installing speed cushions on Manitoba Street between Legion Road North and Grand Avenue.

Dear Chair and Members of Etobicoke York Community Council,

Residents have expressed concerns about unsafe road conditions on Manitoba Street, between Grand Avenue and Legion Road, caused by both speeding vehicles coming off the Gardiner Expressway and sightline obstructions caused by vehicles parking along both sides of Manitoba Street. The parked vehicles create challenges for motorists exiting the westerly driveway and cause unsafe pedestrian crossing conditions. To mitigate the sightline concerns, I am recommending expanding the “no stopping” regulations around the westerly driveway. To improve pedestrian safety and slow down traffic, I am recommending the installation of speed cushions on Manitoba Street, between Grand Avenue and Legion Road.

Councillor Vincent Crisanti recommends to the Etobicoke York Community Council that:

1. City Council request the General Manager of Transportation Services, in consultation with relevant authorities to report to Etobicoke York Community Council in the first meeting of the first quarter of 2027 with findings and recommendations, to address the traffic safety concerns along St Phillips Road (between Dixon Rd and Riverview Heights) including:

a. undertake a comprehensive traffic and road safety study of St. Phillips Road, including analysis of vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, collision history, and pedestrian safety conditions feasible design options and an implementation plan.

b. a focused review of the area surrounding Braywin Drive and St. Phillips Road, with consideration of opportunities for roadway reconfiguration to enhance pedestrian safety.

c. a review of the intersection in front of 50 St. Phillips Rd and Riverview Heights, with consideration of opportunities for signalization.

d. assess and identify appropriate traffic calming and protective measures for St. Phillips Road, including but not limited to speed humps, bollards, rumble strips, guide rails, curb extensions, and improved signage.

My office has received a petition signed by representatives of 52 households, along with supporting documentation detailing a pattern of hazardous driving conditions. Residents are requesting urgent intervention to improve safety through the implementation of traffic calming measures, including speed humps, bollards, increased signage and signalization.

St. Phillips Road is a residential street with a significant number of families and young children. Documented incidents, including repeated speeding and loss-of-control collisions, indicate a persistent safety risk. Notably, two separate collisions occurred on December 14, 2025, May 24, 2026 in which vehicles struck the same hydro pole in front of 47 St. Phillips Road. These incidents, occurring within a six-month period, resulted in substantial damage and neighbourhood-wide power outages, underscoring the recurring nature of the issue. According to TPS, a total of 35 Motor Vehicle Collision events have occurred since 2024 on St. Phillips Road.

In addition to the immediate risk to public safety, these incidents impose financial costs related to emergency response, infrastructure repair, and service restoration.

Given the documented pattern of incidents and strong community support, a formal traffic safety review is warranted. Subject to Transportation Services’ assessment, the implementation of traffic calming measures such as speed humps should be considered to mitigate risk and improve safety along St. Phillips Road. Should any remedial traffic safety measures be available through staff delegated authority, staff be directed to implement such measures as soon as practicable, recognizing the significant safety concerns identified by residents and the urgency of addressing these issues pending completion of any further review or approval processes.

Councillor Anthony Perruzza recommends that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council reduce the speed limit on Elana Drive from 40km/h to 30km/h.

I would like to add the following item to today's agenda; recommendation to change the speed limit on Elana Drive from 40km\h to 30km\h.

Elana Drive is located near Jane and Finch and is frequently used as a short cut to navigate around the busy Jane/Finch intersection. As a result, excessive traffic and speeding occur on Elana Drive, dangerously impacting residents. Thus, I am recommending that the speed limit on Elana Drive be reduced from 40km/h to 30km/h.

Etobicoke York Community Council will introduce bills.
