Re-Opening and Amending IE26.10 Regarding Palmerston Square, Tecumseth Street and Lennox Street - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Joe Mihevc

In April 2022, Item 2021.IE26.10 was re-opened and adjustments made based on feedback on Palmerston Area, Tecumseth Street and Mitchell Avenue residents (Item 2022.MM42.25). Since early 2022, staff hosted the following meetings with stakeholders and the community: - January 31, 2022 - Meeting with 3 business owners along Tecumseth Street, between Queen Street and Mitchell Avenue; - February 24, 2022 - Meeting with several residents of the Mirvish Village Neighbourhood; - February 28, 2022 - Meeting with several residents of Mitchell Avenue; and - July 5, 2022 - Public Information Event. Based on the additional feedback received from local stakeholders, the following modifications are recommended: a. Palmerston Boulevard between Bloor Street West and Lennox Street - convert to one-way northbound along with contra-flow bike lane; b. Maintain Palmerston Boulevard from Lennox Street to Herrick Street as two-way along with shared lane markings; and c. Lennox Street between Markham Street and Palmerston Boulevard - convert to one-way eastbound along with a contra-flow bike lane. Therefore I ask that City Council approve the recommendations in this Motion to make adjustments to the Palmerston/Tecumseth Cycling Connections project.
