Mirvish Village - Parking and Traffic Amendments (Delegated)

This motion is to implement components of the approved 2021 site plan agreement with Westbank Project Corp. The development includes public realm improvement consisting of expanding the boulevard on Markham Street by narrowing down the travelled portion of the roadway for a one-way operation. Furthermore, a private east-west driveway under public vehicular easement has been established south of Bloor Street West, between Bathurst Street and Markham Street. The required parking and traffic amendments on Markham Street, between Lennox Street and Bloor Street West, are as follows: - This roadway will operate in a one-way northbound direction. - Stopping will be prohibited at all times on the east side of the street - On the west side of the street, curbside activities will only be permitted within two constructed lay-bys. A 10-minute delivery zone that will operate at all times is recommended in one lay-by, and a Passenger Loading Zone that will also operate at all times is recommended for the other lay-by. These traffic and parking amendments will address requirements of the site plan agreement for the newly developed mixed-used development (Mirvish Village) on Markham Street. The amendments will meet new street configurations and operational needs for the corridor. The implementation will accommodate anticipated pedestrian and vehicular volumes while providing a safe environment for all users. The completion of construction and traffic access on Markham Street is scheduled for the middle of April 2026. As a standard condition of a development site plan approval process, the applicant must contact Transportation Services six months prior to completion for staff to prepare the necessary report to Community Council for by-law approval of traffic and parking amendments. This by-law approval is being expedited because this condition was not included in the site plan application process by Development Review.
