This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage properties at 109 and 125 George Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, approve the alterations proposed for the heritage properties in connection with a proposed development of the subject property and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject properties.

Located on the east side of George Street between Richmond and Adelaide streets within the original ten-block plan of the Old Town of York, the properties at 109 and 125 George Street contain two early-20th century mixed-use, industrial and office buildings which are also representative examples of the warehouse / factory typology identified in the City's King-Parliament Historic Context Statement.

Constructed in three stages between 1915 and 1950, the two-and-three-storey, brick-clad complex at 109 George Street (with entrance address at 117) was originally owned by German-Jewish philanthropist and entrepreneur, Leo Frankel, and his brothers, for nearly half a century. The 1926 Frankel building fronting directly onto George Street was designed by the prominent architectural firm, Chapman & Oxley, and more recently has been the home of the offices of world-renowned, Toronto-based architectural firm, Moriyama & Teshima Architects.

The property anchoring the southeast corner of George and Richmond streets at 125 George Street contains another early-20th century industrial building. Designed by Toronto architects Molesworth, West & Secord in 1927, the four-storey structure is a rare surviving example in the city of the exposed, pre-cast concrete frame with brick infill panels. 

The two properties at 109 and 125 George Street contribute architecturally as well as typologically to the eclectic mix of late-19th and early-20th century industrial, commercial and residential properties which characterize the historic King-Parliament streetscape.

The subject properties at 109 and 125 George Street were identified in the City's King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review approved by Council in 2019 and were listed on the City's Heritage Register as part of the council-adopted King-Parliament Heritage Properties multiple listing (December 2020).

The development application proposes a 39-storey, 126 metre tall (not including mechanical penthouse), mixed-use building that incorporates a significant portion of the heritage building at 125 George Street as part of the base building. The new building will abut the side wall of the heritage building at 109 George Street with a slight cantilever over the building. The whole building at 109 George Street will be retained with modifications to support its continued use as an office. The impacts of the proposed development are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

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

Hullmark (1151 Queen East) LP is constructing a six-storey residential rental building, with ground floor retail, at 1151 Queen Street East. The site is located on the south-east corner of Queen Street East and Larchmount Avenue.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the east sidewalk and a 2.1 metre-wide portion of the northbound lane on Larchmount Avenue, between Queen Street East and a point 34 metres to the south, for a period of 19 months (i.e. November 1, 2021 to June 1, 2023) to accommodate a construction staging area. The number of northbound lanes will not be reduced on Larchmount Avenue and northbound traffic will be maintained by a 6.5 metre-wide lane. Stopping will be prohibited on the east side at all times due to the partial lane occupation.

Pedestrian movements on the east side of Larchmount Avenue abutting the site will be restricted and directed to the west side sidewalk of Larchmount Avenue. As the Bruce Public School is located south of the development site on the east side, to provide a protected pedestrian crossing for pedestrians during the construction staging period, the developer will install, maintain (during the entire construction period) and remove (at the end of the construction period) a temporary PXO approximately 42 metres south of Queen Street East. In order to ensure parked vehicles do not obstruct pedestrian use of the temporary PXO, or obstruct motorist sightlines of crossing pedestrians, three existing permit parking spaces on the west side of Larchmount Avenue will need to be temporarily removed. Stopping will be prohibited all times on both sides of Larchmount Avenue in the vicinity of the PXO.

No closure of the sidewalk or roadway on Queen Street will be required; however, a 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway will be provided on the existing sidewalk. 

 There is no financial impact to the City. Hullmark (1151 Queen East) LP is responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for the occupancy of the right-of-way. Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the proposed closures on Larchmount Avenue, these fees will be approximately $71,000.00.

The developer will be required to provide a separate security deposit to "The Treasurer, City of Toronto" in the amount of $63,000.00, to ensure the costs for the PXO maintenance and removal (which will be the responsibility of the developer), are secured by the City and will be held until completion of the construction staging area. The unused portion of the deposit is to be returned to the developer at the end of the construction project.

The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, recommends that:

3. City Council direct that Don Roadway and Commissioners Street be returned to pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is completed.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Don Roadway, which is being rerouted along Commissioners Street, City Council approval is required.

As part of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project and Enabling Infrastructure Project, Waterfront Toronto is planning to create two new additional outlets for the Don River and widen the mouth of the river at Keating Channel. In order to facilitate the flood protection and the new configuration of the river path, a new dockwall along the west side of Don Roadway will be constructed. Additionally, the elevation of Don Roadway will be increased by 3.5 metres to match the height of the new dockwall.

Transportation Services is requesting authorization to temporarily close Don Roadway, between Lake Shore Boulevard East and Villiers Street, for a period of up to 27 months (i.e. October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023), to accommodate construction staging operations.

There is no financial impact to the City of Toronto. Waterfront Toronto is responsible for all costs associated with this project.

The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:  

1.  Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation/removal of on-street accessible parking spaces at the locations identified in Attachment 1 attached to the report dated August 23, 2021 from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

The Forest Hill Village BIA is implementing the next phase of its Streetscape Master Plan that aims to build a vibrant and welcoming streetscape for visitors and for people living and working in the area. This phase involves pedestrian improvements and alteration of curbs at three key intersections along Spadina Road - at Montclair Avenue, at Lonsdale Road and at Thelma Avenue. The improvements include five bulb-outs that incorporate planting areas with trees, passive stormwater infiltration and seating. Upgrades will also include the reduction of curb radii and addition of tactile warning plates at the three intersection corners, upgraded paving and new zebra markings to improve pedestrian safety, meet current accessibility standards and slow vehicles. The intersection enhancements are inclusive of all sign and pavement marking modifications.    

The project will require four existing parking spaces to be permanently removed. The BIA aims to work with the Toronto Parking Authority to explore new paid parking locations to help offset the loss.

All work will comply with the City of Toronto’s guidelines and is to be constructed as a stand-alone project administered by Economic Development and Culture's BIA Office. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Spadina Road,

City Council approval of this report is required to remove the parking spaces and make associated traffic regulation and road alteration amendments.

The removal of four on-street parking spaces proposed by this report would reduce Toronto Parking Authority (TPA)’s annual gross revenue by approximately $26,000.00, based on 2019 revenues.

All costs related to construction of the intersection improvements, including the operational cost for relocating two pay and display machines ($1,500.00 each) totaling approximately $500,000.00, will be borne by the Forest Hill Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) and Economic Development and Culture – Cost Share Program. These costs can be accommodated in the 2021 EDC Council Approved Capital Budget – BIA Equal Share Funding project. The Forest Hill Village Business Improvement Area will be responsible for the maintenance cost and duties of the space.

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

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

Transportation Services are requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on a number of local streets intersecting Bloor Street West in Ward 4.  These requests resulted from a review following the installation of cycle tracks last year on Bloor Street West, between Shaw Street and Runnymede Road.  The cycle track installation reduced the supply of on-street parking and loading in the area.  Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) staff reviewed streets intersecting Bloor Street West to convert locations with daytime time limit parking, overnight permit parking and no parking to paid, on-street parking.

The review considered parking areas of high demand that are functionally safe, appropriate, and economically viable and included consultation with the local Business Improvement Areas (BIA's).  The addition of new on-street paid parking will help serve local business parking demands and encourage regular turnover throughout the day to maximize parking available to patrons.  The installation of on-street paid parking and loading on streets intersecting Bloor Street West is an ongoing initiative.  Transportation Services and TPA staff will continue to review and potentially report on new on-street paid parking and loading opportunities.

A companion report, titled "Parking Machines – High Park Avenue" outlines the required non-delegated parking amendments for a location with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.

All cost associated with the necessary signage changes are included within the Transportation Services 2021 Operating Budget.

This designation negatively impacted residents on Dufferin Street, Wallace Avenue, Armstrong

Avenue, and Emerson Avenue. As a result, residents from these streets came together and have submitted a petition requesting that the City's Transportation Services Department convert the public lane back to its original two-way configuration.

Residents strongly feel that the circuitous route to access the laneway and the abutting garages

has caused safety issues for motorists and disrupted traffic flow. By returning the public lane to a two-way operation, residents believe this would make local streets and access to their properties safer and more user friendly. Therefore, the purpose of this motion is to recommend that the public lane be returned to a two-way lane.

Councillor Bailão recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Re‐open Item TE18.77, headed "Traffic Calming - Speed Humps - Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue".

2. Delete Parts 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council decision on Item TE18.77 and adopt the following instead:

1. Waive the polling requirements and authorize the installation of speed humps on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue.
    
2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing Nos. 421G-3774 and 421G-3777, dated August 2020.

3. Adopt the following new recommendation:

1. Designate a 30 km/h speed limit on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rockwell Avenue and Rogers Road.

Residents contacted my office in October 2019, requesting the introduction of safety

measures on Rosethorn Avenue as traffic volumes and the speed at which vehicles are

travelling on this street have increased. Speed hump studies have been conducted on

this road and we have advocated for more police enforcement as a means of helping

improve safety but additional measures are needed. By way of re-opening this item, I am

requesting that Traffic Operations staff amend TE18.77 and that speed humps be

installed on Rosethorn Avenue between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue.

Councillor Bailão recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Re‐open Item TE18.90, headed "Traffic Calming - Speed Humps - Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue".

2. Delete Parts 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council decision on Item TE18.90 and adopt the following instead: 

1. Waive the polling requirements and authorize the installation of speed humps on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue.
   
   
2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue, to install five speed humps, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing No. 421G-3773, dated August 2020.

3. Adopt the following new recommendation:

1. Reduce the existing speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue.

 Residents contacted my office in December 2019, requesting the introduction of safety measures on Rowntree Avenue as traffic volumes and the speed at which vehicles are travelling on this street have increased. Speed hump studies have been conducted on this road and we have advocated for more police enforcement as a means of helping improve safety but additional measures are needed. By way of re-opening this item, I am requesting that Traffic Operations staff amend TE18.90 and that speed humps be

installed on speed humps be installed on Rowntree between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue.

Councillor Wong-Tam recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Reduce the speed limit along the following roadway to 30 kilometres per hour: Church Street between Bloor Street East and The Esplanade.

2. Direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install relevant speed limit signage along the roadway segments outlined in Recommendation 1 above, as soon as possible.

A local resident submitted a petition to my office with over 100 signatures expressing concern for the safety of pedestrians and CafeTO patio patrons and requesting the reduction of the speed limit on Church Street to 30km/h.

As outlined in the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy, higher speeds can contribute to a higher risk of serious injury and fatalities. While we have made significant strides over the past few years towards making our streets safer for all road users, through speed limit reductions and traffic calming measures, my office in partnership with community stakeholders continues to identify and assess new opportunities to improve safety.

Reducing the speed limit along the entire stretch of Church Street from Bloor Street East to The Esplanade will have a positive impact for thousands of residents, parents walking their children to and from school, and for the businesses with CafeTO patios so their patrons feel safe.

It is recommended that:

1. City Council designate the westerly southbound lane on River Street, from King Street East to a point 36 metres north, for southbound right turns only, buses excepted.

At its meeting on December 15th, 2020, the TTC Board approved the 2021 Annual Service Plan which included changes to the 121 Fort York - Esplanade bus route.  This routing change is anticipated to take effect in October 2021.  The revised 121 Fort York – Esplanade buses will serve a nearside stop on southbound River Street at King Street East and then need to merge through the intersection to continue southbound.

River Street, between Queen Street East and King Street East, is classified as a minor arterial roadway that operates with one travel lane, bike lane and a right turn lane in the southbound direction.  It has a pavement width of approximately 15.3 metres and a posted speed limit of 40 km/h.

Designating the southbound curb lane on River Street at King Street East as "right turn only, buses excepted" will clearly define lane usage, mitigate any potential vehicular conflicts, and allow for proper enforcement of the respective traffic signs under the Highway Traffic Act.

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

Councillor Bradford recommends that:

1. The Toronto and East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake a comprehensive Road Safety Review for Queen Street East from Silver Birch Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue and report back in the first quarter of 2022, with recommendations for measures including but limited to:

a. Opportunities for an all-way stop control or other crossing and traffic controls at Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue;

b. Signage to better warn road users travelling east on Queen Street East of the sudden north-bound turn to Victoria Park Avenue;

c. Interventions to calm traffic moving alongside or around streetcars;

d. Creating a Community Safety Zone in this section of Queen Street East; and

e. Adjusting parking or curb lines on the north and south sides of Queen Street East, from Neville Park Boulevard to Victoria Park Avenue to improve visibility and lower risk of collisions.

I am asking for your support for a comprehensive road safety review to be completed for Queen Street East in and around the Neville Park Streetcar Loop. The need for careful but urgent review of this area has been highlighted by a growing number of collisions and concerning road safety incidents over the last several months. For many of these incidents, tragedy has only very narrowly been avoided.

In Spring 2021, many in our community saw images of an overturned Lamborghini that was totaled in a crash after a reckless driver overtook a streetcar. For the surrounding community, the only surprising thing about these images was that nobody was seriously hurt or worse. There have been many similar incidents before and others since. The community in this area knows that stunt driving, impatience with the streetcar, as well as a sudden change in the road design after the streetcar loop cause all kinds of collisions, near-misses and concerning hazards for those who live, work, visit or travel through the area.

I am asking for your support in requesting for a thorough review to consider road safety measures in the area. We need to look at a number of key areas outlined in the motion, as well as any other measure our road safety experts can recommend.

In addition to conflicts with the streetcar, this stretch of Queen Street East is difficult to navigate because of changes in grade, a sudden change in the width and conditions of the road after the streetcar loop, and the fact that many.

Councillor Bradford recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize all-way stop controls at the intersection of Williamson Road and Hambly Avenue

Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about road safety and speeding along Williamson Road and Hambly Avenue, specifically near Glen Ames Senior Public School.

Councillor Cressy recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing accessible parking space in effect at all times on the north side of Ordnance Street, between a point 12.8 metres east of Strachan Avenue and a point 6.2 metres further east.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, for a maximum period of three hours, at the rate of $3.00 per hour, on both sides of Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing 30km/h speed limit on Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and a point 179.50 metres east, to be in effect from Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the north side of Ordnance Street (east/west leg), between Strachan Avenue and Ordnance Street (north/south leg).

5. Toronto and East York Community Council designate a commercial loading zone to be in effect at all times on the east side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg), between Ordnance Street (east/west leg) and a point 44 metres south.

6. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the east side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg), between a point 44 metres south of Ordnance Street (east/west leg) and the south end of Ordnance Street.

7. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the south side of Ordnance Street (east/west leg), between Strachan Avenue and Ordnance Street (north/south leg).

8. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times on the west side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg), between Ordnance Street (east/west leg) and the south end of Ordnance Street (north/south leg).

9. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times within the cul-de-sac area, between the south end of Ordnance Street (west side) and the south end of Ordnance Street (east side).

In consultation with Transportation Services, I am requesting approval to amend the existing parking regulations on Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street. The proposed on-street parking regulations will help facilitate the implementation of future bike lanes, include a commercial loading zone that will provide for curb-side loading/unloading of merchandise, and help improve safe traffic operations on this street.

With the recent completion of three new developments along Ordnance Street, the existing roadway has been narrowed considerably, and cannot safely accommodate two traffic lanes, parking and bike lanes. For the most part, the proposed cross-section on Ordnance Street will comprise of two traffic lanes (one lane per direction) and bike lanes on both sides of the roadway.  To provide area residents with curb-side loading/ unloading opportunity, a commercial loading zone will be designated on the east side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg) that will operate at all times. 

To fulfill the long term vision of the City Council approved Cycling Network Plan, every street through development applications, area studies and capital projects are considered for bikeways. Ordnance Street was evaluated in the Cycling Network Plan Long Term Cycling Network Vision analysis and ranked in the second highest suitability category. While in the moment Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m to the east is a dead end, in the future the street could connect to the Ordnance Triangle Park and the new Garrison Crossing bicycle/pedestrian bridge. Bikeways may also be extended west of Strachan Avenue along East Liberty Street. When those future connections are developed, Ordnance Street would become a vital active transportation corridor. Before the new developments open on Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m east, it is recommended to install the bike lanes to inform mobility choices of new residents and the new operations. A subsequent report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee will be submitted to seek authority and approval for the Chapter 886: Bicycle Lanes by-laws.

Councillor Layton recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council reduce the speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on MacLennan Avenue, between Summerhill Avenue and Edgar Avenue

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install relevant speed limit signage along the roadway segments outlined in Recommendation 1.

Residents in North Rosedale have frequently reached out to my office with concerns over speeding on the streets within their residential area.

Transportation Services has applied a number safety measures to mitigate road incidents including new signage, pavement markings and even a road reconfiguration and today I am requesting a speed limit reduction as a means to limit dangerous interactions on MacLennan Ave between Summerhill Ave and Edgar Ave.

As outlined in the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy, higher speeds can contribute to higher risk of serious injury and fatalities. Setting a lower speed limit in this segment of roadway on MacLennan Ave, serves to increase safety for all road users.

Councillor Matlow recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road.

I am writing to request your support in authorizing the installation of a Pedestrian Crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road.  Several families in this area (on Rains Avenue and Melita Avenue, south of Davenport) with very young children, and with many being dog-walkers, frequently cross to the north side of Davenport Road, a busy major arterial, in a very unsafe manner to have access to the Hillcrest Park via the south west entrance.  Their only option of crossing safely to access the Park is to walk further east on Davenport, about 3 blocks to Christie Street, which takes several minutes, even though there's an entrance directly across from them.  Transportation staff have indicated that there has been no collision history here which may not warrant a PXO.  However, the community has called for this for several years running, and it's an attempt to get ahead of any potential incidents in the future to ensure safety, particularly for young children.

Councillor Matlow recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Prohibit stopping at all times on the south side of Millwood Road, between a point 264.5 metres east of Yonge Street and a point 291.5 metres east of Yonge Street and on the north side of Millwood Road, between a point 270.5 metres east of Yonge Street and a point 297.5 metres east of Yonge Street.

2. Direct Transportation Services to install a painted pedestrian crossing, School Crossing signs, pedestrian ramps and remove the existing steel guardrail on the north side of the street on Millwood Road, at a point approximately 281 metres east of Yonge Street, effective immediately.

3. Direct Transportation Services to install a temporary school crossing guard while warrant analysis is being completed on Millwood Road, at a point approximately 281 metres east of Yonge Street, effective after completion of Recommendation 1 and 2 and start of school days. If warrant fails, the school crossing guard shall be removed once the installation of a pedestrian crossover (Recommendation 4) is completed.

4. Authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover on Millwood Road, at a point approximately 281 metres east of Yonge Street.

I am writing to request your support in designating a school crossing guard at Millwood Road, adjacent to the Davisville Junior Public School and Spectrum Alternative School.  My office has consulted widely with school officials, the TDSB, and the Davisville community, who all support this initiative to improve safety for kids. 

There is a pedestrian walkway between Nos. 116 and 122 Millwood that links Millwood Road to Belsize Drive, which is heavily utilized by kids on their way to and from school.  Traffic Operations staff are currently assessing the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossover (PXO) at the location.  Without a PXO in place yet, my motion is calling for immediate measures (a painted pedestrian crossing, school crossing signs, and pedestrian ramps) to facilitate the designation of a crossing guard for the start of school in the fall as studies continue towards the installation of a PXO.

Councillor Matlow recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council designate Owen Weinstein Lane, between Westover Hill Road and Flanders Road, as one-way for westbound traffic only.

I am writing to request your support in designating Owen Weinstein Lane, between Westover Hill Road and Flanders Road, as one-way only for westbound traffic. Residents of Westover Hill Road, who have been severely impacted by traffic congestion on their street as a result of the ongoing LRT construction, are requesting this to improve traffic flow.

Commuters travelling northbound on Flanders Road use the Owen Weinstein Lane as a cut through (eastbound) to Westover Hill Road in order to access the Allen. This creates huge congestion at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West, causing significant backups (stagnant traffic) on Westover Hill Road, impacting the quality of life of residents. Traffic flow would be significantly improved if commuters joined Westover Hill Road from Dewbourne Avenue. My office has also consulted with the local BIA, the Upper Village BIA, who are in support of this initiative.

Councillor Wong-Tam recommends that:

1. The Toronto East York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to work collaboratively with all stakeholders (Toronto Transit Committee, Toronto Hydro and appropriate City divisions and Downtown Yonge BIA) to devise a detailed plan and construction schedule that will immediately address and correct the deterioration of Victoria Street and to provide quarterly updates to Toronto East York Community Council starting on November 24, 2021 and subsequently on how this planning and reconstruction work is progressing.

Located in the heart of downtown, Victoria Street has numerous notable attractions (e.g. Ed Mirvish Theatre, Fran's Restaurant, Rogers/City TV, Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre, Jazz Bistro, The Senator, Pantages Hotel, Fran's Restaurant, and Massey Hall) nearby which draw a plethora of residents and tourists.

In addition, Victoria Street is the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Areas (BIA)'s Entertainment Precinct, which has significant economic impact for the neighbourhood as well as surrounding businesses. This is especially important in the current COVID-19 landscape that has severely impacted local businesses financially. The re-opening of the province and restrictions being lifted means that we can return to normal activities albeit within appropriate COVID-19 safety guidelines and standards. As a result, both residents and tourists are frequenting the attractions in downtown Yonge. 

Massey Hall, known internationally as Canada's most important venue for concerts and lectures, attracting many of the world's leading celebrities is set to re-open on November 25th, 2021 after a 3 year hiatus due to 3 years of extensive renovations.  The local- area theatres are also set to re-open during or after this timeframe.

While we look forward to these entertainment venues re-opening that will attract tourists and residents to the area, infrastructural concerns on Victoria Street that must be addressed immediately by the City. The ongoing deterioration of infrastructure in the public realm has resulted in significant issues with sidewalks, TTC streetcar tracks, roadways, and Hydro Vaults. A large number of safety and tripping hazards exist especially for individuals using assistive devices due to constant sidewalk damage on both sides of Victoria Street. The significant damage to the adjacent existing TTC Street tracks, which run North-South along Victoria Street have rendered these tracks unusable. Metal plates have been placed over top existing TTC streetcar tracks due to the underlying and surrounding roadway collapsing. Due to a high number of potholes and cracks in the roadway, water often pools along Victoria Street following rainfall – this negatively impacts the pedestrian experience, as water is splashed onto the sidewalk (and onto pedestrians) by moving vehicles.

Victoria Street is a main entertainment precinct and a destination for Torontonians and tourists. The economic and recovery of the neighbourhood depends on this Entertainment Precinct being, which means that Victoria Street must be repaired urgently.

Councillor Bradford recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Waive the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Bowmore Road from Gerrard Street East to Wrenson Road; and

Councillor Bailão recommends that:

1. City Council request that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, undertake a study of the lands subject to Site and Area Specific Policy 154, which front onto Jenet Road and Paton Street between Lansdowne Avenue and Wade Avenue and the lands that front onto Wade Avenue between Jenet Road and Paton Street to determine the appropriateness of amending Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 to permit residential uses within the study area.

Residents, property owners and businesses in the community have been in contact with my office requesting that we study the area to ensure zoning by-law compliance with the present and future uses in this mixed part of Davenport. The area is bordered by residential on one side and then further surrounded by development applications and requests to convert employment lands. There are a mixture of employment, commercial and residential uses already happening within the area and while the residential uses are permitted by the Official Plan, the Zoning By-law does not presently allow them. In order to provide a greater degree of oversight and certainty to the community going forward I am making the following recommendations.

Councillor Fletcher recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Direct Transportation Services to develop requirements for the Ontario Line North Traffic Management and Construction Staging plans including but not limited to:

1. Community consultation on the Traffic Management Plan well ahead of approval;
2. Addition of traffic calming on neighbouring streets if requested;
3. Detailed parking impacts communicated to the residents in advance; and
4. Establishment of a mobile community office/trailer that can resolve issues.

2. Request Transportation Services to attend a Community Meeting hosted by the Ward Councillor to review their requirements and expectations with the impacted residents.

Traffic Management around large infrastructure projects is always a challenge. The earlier the planning begins the better the outcomes for the residents. Additionally, many in the community have asked for the City to take an active role in the traffic management to ensure that the interests of the local community are preserved.

While Metrolinx will be responsible for developing the plan, the City should take an active role in proscribing what the community expects and how Metrolinx needs to be handling the project. While traffic is a primary concern there are additional concerns around trees and other construction impacts. Some of this work is underway for the south section, but I am asking for your support to extend this kind of pre-emptive work to the North Section as well.

Councillor Fletcher recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Direct the General Manager of Transportation Services to conduct a safety review of the Pedestrian Crossover at Broadview Avenue and Torrens Avenue and to report back in the first quarter of 2022 with a report on safety upgrades, including the possibility of upgrading to a stop light.

Over the summer there was a scary incident at Broadview Avenue and Torrens Avenue where a young child was hit by a car at the crosswalk. There have been thirteen collisions over the past ten years at this crosswalk, many caused by cars travelling at a high rate of speed hitting cars that are stopped at the crosswalk. That is what happened this summer. Thankfully the child, visiting Toronto – Danforth from Beaches – East York, was not seriously injured.

Councillor Bradford and I have already asked the General Manager of Transportation to conduct a safety review of this intersection with a view to potentially upgrading it to a stoplight or making other safety improvements.

Considering the near-tragedy that we experienced I am asking for your support as a Community Council to endorse a safety review.

Councillor Fletcher recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review the situation and all options for the truncated portion of Gerrard Street and, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, present options to the local residents and to report to the November 24, 2021 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

For many decades Gerrard East ran along the south side of the tracks. It did not run straight through to Carlaw.

When Gerrard Street was extended easterly an intersection was created at Gerrard Street and Carlaw Avenue, in essence creating two Gerrard Streets.

In 2002 Transportation Services closed off the entrance from the original Gerrard Street onto the new Gerrard Street. Nonetheless because the original street is still signed as Gerrard Street many drivers try to cut through to avoid the intersection and many large vehicles - TTC buses and Semis included also see the sign and enter there only to find themselves completely stuck which creates a dangerous situation for residents.

For many years I have been working with local residents to try to fix this, but the problems continue.

A review of all options is required.

Councillor Fletcher recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the Crosswalk at Queen Street East and Carroll Street along with the intersections of Queen Street East and East Don Roadway, Davies Avenue, and Munro Street, and report back with recommendations on how best to protect pedestrians and support safe traffic movement in the first quarter of 2022.

I am writing to you today regarding the crosswalk at Queen Street East and Carroll Street. The proximity of this crosswalk to the DVP and the current influx of new residents due to the completion of Riverside Square is the perfect opportunity to create a safer condition along this stretch. Over the past seven years there have been four major accidents at this crosswalk, three of which were pedestrians who were hit at the crosswalk.

In 2015, with the approval of the Riverside Square Development (2015.TE12.7), this Community Council already contemplated potentially installing a light in this area and required the developer to set aside money against this possibility. I am asking for your support to formally begin looking at making this intersection safer.  

Councillor Wong-Tam recommends that:

1. That the Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the traffic and parking regulations on St. Bartholomew Street, Sutton Avenue, St. David Street, Sackville Street, Regent Park Boulevard and Sumach Street, as described in "Attachment 1: Traffic and Parking Regulations - St. Bartholomew Street, Sutton Avenue, St. David Street, Sackville Street, Regent Park Boulevard and Sumach Street".

As part of Phase 2 of the Regent Park development, several streets in this area have been under the jurisdiction of the developer.  A number of these streets have now been dedicated to the City of Toronto.  In consultation with Transportation Services, and Toronto Community Housing, the traffic and on-street parking regulations on various roadways in this area have been reviewed and require by-law approval.  Transportation Services reviewed the following streets:

●       St. Bartholomew Street

●       Sutton Avenue

●       St. David Street

●       Sackville Street

●       Regent Park Boulevard

●       Sumach Street

Once the traffic and parking regulations are approved by the Toronto and East York Community, Toronto Police Services can begin enforcing regulations on these streets.

During the review, Transportation Services staff determined that there were other roadways in the Regent Park area that also require parking and traffic by-law amendments.  As a house-keeping matter, these roadways are included in the recommendations as well.

Introduction and consideration of Bills for enactment of By-laws.
