Transmittal of Toronto Transit Commission Update on Cross-Boundary Service Integration
At its meeting of February 10, 2022, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Board considered an update on cross-boundary service integration. The TTC staff report (included as Attachment 1) provides an overview of the proposed Cross-Boundary Service Integration Plan, which calls for a partnership between the TTC and 905 transit agencies (e.g. York Region Transit and Mississauga transit) that would allow 905 transit agencies to serve customers within the boundaries of Toronto. Currently, the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA) restricts the TTC from entering into an agreement with another entity to provide transit service in the City of Toronto unless that entity provided the service prior to January 1, 1954. This effectively prevents the TTC from entering into cross-boundary service agreements. In its decision, the TTC Board: · approved the Agency's Cross-Boundary Service Integration Plan in principle; · advised of legislative barriers in COTA that currently prevent the TTC from operationalizing the Plan; · directed the CEO to report back to the TTC Board on details of interagency revenue sharing, a plan for the reinvestment of savings, and a plan for ensuring consistent customer service and support; and, · forwarded the report to the City Manager and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. The report of the TTC Board also noted that there is a limitation in TTC's collective agreement with Local 113 of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) on entering into arrangements pertaining to contracting out or sale of business. As at date of submission of this report, the TTC is continuing discussions with the ATU regarding this issue. The purpose of this City Manager report is to convey the TTC Board's report to City Council, with a recommendation that City Council request the Ontario Government amend COTA to remove the legislative barriers currently preventing the TTC from entering into agreements with other public passenger transportation organizations for better co-ordination of services across municipal boundaries. The legislative amendments requested are one step on the path towards implementing TTC's proposed Cross-Boundary Service Integration Plan. TTC continues to work with partners on implementation details, including service planning, required technology solutions, and cost-sharing between the parties.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Ontario Government to amend Section 395 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 to enable cross boundary transit service integration and specifically: a. allow the Toronto Transit Commission to enter into an agreement with a municipality or local board authorizing the municipality or board to operate and maintain transit services within the City of Toronto on the conditions specified in the agreement; and b. provide that such an agreement is not a sale, transfer or deemed sale or transfer of the operation or part of the operation of the Toronto Transit Commission under the Labour Relations Act, nor is it a contract for services for the Toronto Transit Commission to enter into an agreement for such transit services within the City of Toronto. 2. City Council direct the Board of the Toronto Transit Commission to report to City Council on an implementation plan for the Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project, including details of Toronto Transit Commission service reallocation, transit service improvements, financial implications and cost-benefit analysis.

In January, the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Area was provided with the opportunity to purchase additional tables and seating for the Village of Yorkville Park to continue to support local residents and customers to the area to enjoy the Park. This furniture is unique to the Park, and matches the existing infrastructure in the Park. In an effort to ensure that we could get these pieces installed before the warm weather returns, the Business Improvement Area made the purchase. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen historical numbers of people take to our parks and other outdoor spaces to share meals and see their friends and loved ones. Providing more spaces for people to comfortably sit and relax, or enjoy their purchase or meal is a service we must continue to provide and expand. The Business Improvement Area Office has worked with the local Councillor to identify a suitable source of funding and will work to ensure that the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Area is reimbursed for the purchase of the City-owned infrastructure.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council increase the 2022 Council Approved Capital Budget for Economic Development and Culture on a one-time basis by $18,000 gross and $0 debt in project costs with cash flow funding of $18,000 in 2022, fully funded by Section 37 funds obtained from the development at 94 Cumberland Street (Source Account: XR3026-3700708), for the purchase of tables and chairs for the Village of Yorkville Park, in the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Area (WBS element: CED104-05 - Planning Act Revenue Bloor Yorkville). 2. City Council direct that the $18,000 be forwarded to the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Area, subject to the Business Improvement Area signing an undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

Paul Martel Park is a small (1,030 square metres) and well-loved park in the Bloor-Spadina neighbourhood of University-Rosedale. It features native-plant gardens, trees, seating areas and a gathering space. Formerly called Ecology Park, the Park's history is tied deeply to community advocacy and stewardship. Originally a project of the Pollution Probe Foundation, the Annex Residents' Association became the park's champion after it needed rebuilding following the expansion of the adjacent Toronto Transit Commission Spadina Station in the 1990s. It became a City park in 2003 and was renamed Paul Martel Park, after the Park's original community champion, in 2014. In recent years, in collaboration with Parks, Forestry and Recreation, an Indigenous community organization named Aki Wiidookeegewin (Earth Helpers) has undertaken an Indigenous gardening training program in Paul Martel Park, focusing primarily on native plant cultivation and related activities, supported in part by funding from Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training. The program helps trainees build their resumes through instructor-led activities. This Motion recommends that City Council give authority to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to negotiate and sign on behalf of the City a nominal fee licence agreement with The Neighbourhood Group Community Services, a United Way-affiliated registered charity and trustee of the grant funds, and Aki Wiidookaagewin to facilitate Indigenous-led training and gardening programs at the Park. The recommendation would give structure to the program and clearly lay out roles and responsibilities. The Motion proposes a one-year term renewable at the General Manager's discretion, for up to an additional two one-year terms (three years total). Staff have consulted with both Local 416 and the Fair Wage Office and have received support for the proposal. The Motion is also aligned with the City's Commitments to Indigenous Peoples, adopted by City Council in 2010 and updated in 2015.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to negotiate and sign on behalf of the City a nominal fee Licence Agreement with The Neighbourhood Group Community Services and Aki Wiidookaagewin to facilitate Indigenous participant training and gardening at Paul Martel Park, for a one-year term renewable at the General Manager's discretion for up to an additional two one-year terms (three years total), on terms and conditions acceptable to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

In June 2021, the City and the Aki Wiidookaagewin (Ontario Earth Helpers), an Indigenous organization local to the Spadina neighbourhood, were among several parties to a Memorandum of Understanding in respect of the Indigenous Kitchen Garden Project. The Project's objectives include among other things, to create raised bed gardens at the City's Spadina Museum site to demonstrate food growing practices and create employment and skills training opportunities for Indigenous peoples, to activate the museum space and provide educational programming activities available to the public. The City, as part of its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding entered into an agreement with Aki Wiidookaagewin (Ontario Earth Helpers) for a one year term expiring on June 30, 2022. The agreement sets out the parties' responsibilities, program details and outlines the terms and conditions for the use of the Spadina Museum site. City Council approval was not obtained at this time because Aki Wiidookaagewin had received a federally funded COVID-19 related grant for the project that needed to be spent.

As Economic Development and Culture staff, The Neighbourhood Group and Aki Wiidookaagewin want to continue the development of the Project and associated programs and activities, City Council approval is required to enter into a new agreement for a one year term. Aki Wiidookaagewin will have a new trustee, The Neighbourhood Group, and new external funding will be available to Aki Wiidookaagwein effective May 1, 2022 until December 31, 2022 to support the Project, including funding for programming and creating more opportunities for training volunteers. The City is entering into the agreement with Aki Wiidookaagewin, as full acknowledgement of the significant services/contribution to the project.

This Motion seeks to provide resources to the Zhong Hua Men Chinese Archway Reserve Fund to assist with ongoing maintenance costs associated with the upkeep of this iconic landmark and beautiful gateway to East Chinatown. The archway located at Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street East which was officially opened in the fall of 2009 is a joint project between the City of Toronto and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce (East Toronto). The Toronto Parking Authority provided the land and the construction management for the archway. Countless other supporters, notably Bridgepoint Health, donated both cash and materials toward the project. A hallmark of Chinatowns around the world is a gate based on traditional Chinese architecture known as 'Paifeng' a custom of building archways to honour and commemorate the great achievements of ones ancestors. The archway is engraved with messages of goodwill and wisdom and is adorned by two stunning marble lion statues each weighing three tons that were donated by The People's Republic of China. The lions are a tribute to Chinese art, culture, and the contributions of the Chinese community to the vitality of this neighbourhood and the City of Toronto. The Zhong Hua Men Chinese Archway is a testament to Toronto's commitment to honouring diversity and to recognizing the many contributions made to our City and country by the Chinese community. This Motion proposes to provide a total of $27,426 of Section 37 funds secured from the development at 90-100 Broadview Avenue specifically secured and collected for the contribution to the Chinese Archway Reserve Fund.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 1390-1406 Yonge Street and 1420 Yonge Street, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under the following criteria: design, associative, and contextual value (1390-1406 Yonge Street); and design, associative, and contextual value (1420 Yonge Street). Located on the west side of Yonge Street just south of St. Clair Avenue within the Deer Park neighbourhood, the properties at 1390-1406 Yonge Street contain six, 3-storey main street commercial row buildings constructed together in 1932 - originally as a collection of eleven which once spanned south to 1378 Yonge Street. The row was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and maintains several of its original details, the most prominent being its terracotta roof and yellow- and rug-brick facade. To the immediate north of 1390-1406 Yonge Street, and separated by a driveway entry into St. Michael's Cemetery, the adjacent 1420 Yonge Street contains a complete block of four, 2-storey main street commercial row buildings constructed together in 1932. Commissioned and continuously owned by the Cira family until the property was sold in 2021, 1420 Yonge Street has been a presence within the Deer Park neighbourhood for nearly a century. The block was designed by architect Benjamin Swartz (1899-1961), an architect of note within the Jewish community who designed several landmarks including the Kiever Synagogue (1923) in Kensington Market. Similar to a pair of 4-storey apartment blocks he built for the Cira family on the south side of St. Clair Avenue West (at Robina Avenue) in 1928, the commercial row at 1420 Yonge Street features a mix of Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements. The properties at 1390-1406 Yonge Street and 1420 Yonge Street contribute architecturally, historically, and contextually to the eclectic mix of early 20th-century main street commercial properties that characterize the historic midtown Toronto streetscape of Yonge Street. Heritage Planning Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the properties at 1390-1406 Yonge Street and 1420 Yonge Street and determined that they meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under the following criteria: design, associative, and contextual value (1390-1406 Yonge Street); and design, associative, and contextual value (1420 Yonge Street). As such, the above properties represent a significant built heritage resource. On July 16, 2021, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment - 1406 Yonge Street was submitted to the City to permit a 40-storey mixed-use building with commercial at grade containing 406 dwellings. On October 7, 2021 a Site Plan Control application for a 39-storey mixed-use building having a non-residential gross floor area of 157.9 square metres, and a residential gross floor area of 28,287 square meters containing 406 residential dwellings came under review. The properties at 1406-1428 Yonge Street are included in the application. The proposal involves the removal of the northernmost, end-unit (1406) of the 3-storey mixed-use main street commercial row at 1390-1406 Yonge Street and demolition of the 2-storey mixed-use main street commercial row at 1420 Yonge Street. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act. The Bill 108 Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The City Clerk issued a complete application notice on September 24, 2021. On December 16, 2021, the applicant provided a waiver to City Planning extending the 90 day timeline until April 30, 2022. As such, the Notice of Intention to Designate report must be considered by City Council at its meeting on April 6/7, 2022. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties and will be considered when determining how a heritage property is to be conserved. Designation also enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance. A HIA was provided with the development application. Staff have reviewed the HIA and will provide further comments to the applicant pending the outcome of Council's decision.

Support for the Grange Green Plan - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton
Authority is being sought to release Section 37 funds to the Sir William Campbell Foundation, a non-profit organization that maintains and operates Campbell House Museum. The monies are to be utilized to deliver the next phase of implementation for the Grange Green Plan. The purpose of the Grange Green Plan is to improve public green space, enhance private greening efforts, and contribute to the City's environmental and climate change agenda, improving both human and ecosystem health within the Grange community. As development in the downtown core continues, we must ensure that we are creating liveable neighbourhoods - finding opportunities to enhance and create green spaces is an important part of that liveability. In July 2018, after two years of work, the Toronto and East York Community Council endorsed the Grange Green Plan, and directed City staff to work together with community partners to prepare a plan to implement the Grange Green Plan. In October 2019, funds were allocated for the purpose of design and planning for implementation of the plan priorities. Advancing work on the Grange Green Plan has determined that these additional funds are needed to deliver the full plan. Funds have been secured through a Section 37 contribution from the development at 40, 46, 48, 50, 52 and 60 McCaul Street and 10 Stephanie Street towards landscaping improvements in the public realm on McCaul Street and in the Grange Community. These funds have been received by the City.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council increase, on a one-time basis, the 2022 Council Approved Operating Budget for Non-Program, by $15,000.00 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Funds) community benefits from 40, 46, 48, 50, 52 and 60 McCaul Street and 10 Stephanie Street (Source Account: XR3026-3700887) for implementation of the Grange Green Plan (Cost Centre NP2161). 2. City Council direct that the $15,000.00 be forwarded to the Sir William Campbell Foundation upon the signing of an Undertaking by the Foundation governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

The Rockcliffe-Smythe area is located in Ward 5 (York South-Weston) and is the most flood vulnerable area in the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's jurisdiction. There are hundreds of buildings within the regulatory floodplain of Black Creek and Lavender Creek; many of these properties experience frequent surface and basement flooding during severe storms. This is a result of riverine flooding and the overloading of the City of Toronto's urban drainage system. The City of Toronto, in partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is working to implement a flood mitigation strategy for the area adjacent to Black Creek through the Rockcliffe Riverine Flood Mitigation Project Municipal Class Environmental Assessment launched on January 21, 2021 and currently underway. On March 1, 2022 the City and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority held the second of two Public Information Centres for the Rockcliffe Riverine Flood Mitigation Project Environmental Assessment. At the Public Information Centres, the City and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority provided an update on the project, the preferred solution, alternative design concepts, and project next steps. The preferred solution involves significant infrastructure investment to modify the Black Creek and Lavender Creek Channels, construct a new flood protection wall, road realignment as well as several bridge replacements. If approved, the entire project would be constructed in phases over an anticipated 10-year timeframe with an estimated cost of approximately $371 million. Community members expressed an urgent need for the project to be fully funded in order for construction to proceed and reduce the risk of flooding in this area, and better adapt to a changing climate. Councillor Nunziata has championed the Rockcliffe Riverine Flood Mitigation Project with support from Mayor John Tory. The City has applied for approximately $148 Million from the Federal Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund for this project and to-date has received commitment for approximately $19 million from the Federal government through this fund. Later this year, the City anticipates hearing back on additional Federal Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund funding applications. The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Federal Member of Parliament for York South Weston has expressed support for opportunities for additional funding commitment from the Federal government for this project. Given the scale of the project investment needed and the priority of this project, this motion asks that Council direct the City Manager to seek funding support from the Provincial government.
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the City Manager to review opportunities and initiate a request for funding from the Province along with funding from the Federal government, to support the recommendations identified in the Rockcliffe Riverine Flood Mitigation Environmental Assessment Project. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services and the General Manager, Toronto Water to work with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to finalize an implementation phasing plan to optimize the order in which each infrastructure component as part of the preferred Rockcliffe Riverine Flood Mitigation Project solution should be built, subject to available funding and the completion of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.

Mayor Tory's Address to City Council on Ukraine Before we start the day we have the honour of welcoming Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv, and Deputy Mayor Mykola Povoroznyk to address the start of today's meeting I want to convey our utmost respect and appreciation to both the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor for joining us today. We are not sister cities by accident. We are both cities of about 3 million in population, both the largest in our respective countries. We are proud to be home to one of the largest populations of people of Ukrainian background in the world outside Ukraine. But today those bonds which forged a 30 year long close relationship bring us together at a time when there is a stark, tragic difference. Here, it is peaceful. We can meet and debate issues, people can go freely about their lives COVID notwithstanding. There, you are under illegal unjustifiable attack, many lives taken already, many others threatened - a way of life in a beautiful historic City shattered by an inhumane atrocious invasion. We thank you for taking time to address our City Council today while you and your residents are in the fight of your lives. Your courage and your determination to fight for your City and your residents is an inspiration to us here in Toronto and to people around the world. Let me make clear something I have said repeatedly to you, to our own people, for years not just weeks because this isn't the first chapter of this tyranny. Toronto stands in solidarity with Ukraine, its people and Canadian-Ukrainians. The unique bond between our two cities, anchored by that 30 year formal friendship and the fact that Toronto is home to thousands of Ukrainian-Canadians has brought this situation even closer to home. We have worked to add our voice as a City to those speaking out against the attack on Kyiv and all of Ukraine. What Russia is doing is illegal and wrong. We join you in mourning the completely unacceptable loss of innocent lives that is happening. We are working with the other governments here in Canada to help support any and all Ukrainian Refugees who come to Toronto. But while we are ready to welcome Ukrainians here, we want this war to end and we want people to be safe in their homes in Ukraine. We want Russia out and we want all responsible for these atrocities to be held to account. I have had the pleasure of meeting you Mayor Klitschko at a better time when you were able to visit Toronto City Hall, and I look forward to the day where we can meet again, once peace is restored in Ukraine, hopefully very soon. Today, I want to thank you for your courage and commitment to fight for all the freedom of your City, your people and all of Ukraine. And I want to thank you for sharing your message with our Council, our City and everyone listening here in Toronto today. Now I would like to formally welcome Mayor Klitschko and Deputy Mayor Povoroznyk of Kyiv to address City Council. Mo ays do boy o. Slava Ukraini! Mr. Vitaliy Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv addressed City Council. Mr. Klitschko expressed his appreciation to Canada for is support of Ukraine. Mr. Vitaliy Klitschko stated that the reason for the senseless war is due to Mr. Putin wanting to rebuild the Soviet Union, rebuild the Soviet empire and to take over Ukraine. Mr. Klitschko further stated that Ukraine wants to build a modern democracy and be a country that is part of the European democracy. Mr. Vitaliy Klitschko remarked that Ukraine is a peaceful country with peaceful people, never aggressive to anyone. Mr. Klitschko spoke of the women, children and elderly Ukrainian people killed in the war and that the exact number of civilians killed cannot be determined due to the devastation in the cities. Mr. Vitaliy Klitschko stated that the situation is critical as they do not know how far Russia will go and thanked everyone who supports Ukraine and the continued efforts in sanctions against Russia and sending defensive weapons to Ukraine. Mr. Klitschko further stated that he hoped the war would end soon but the Ukrainian people are ready to fight for their country. Mr. Mykola Povoroznyk, Deputy Mayor of Kyiv, addressed City Council. Mr. Povoroznyk stated that they are proud to belong to a nation that is standing up for democracy not only in Europe but for the entire world. Mr. Mykola Povoroznyk remarked that the war is very difficult for the Ukrainian people but they will stand and will win as they have no other choice. Mr. Povoroznyk thanked everyone in the entire civilized world, Canada and the City of Toronto for their political support, their humanitarian support and for the defensive weapons provided to Ukraine. Mr. Mykola Povoroznyk stated that together we will win and Glory to Ukraine. Councillor Michael Thompson thanked Vitaliy Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv and Mykola Povoroznyk, Deputy Mayor of Kyiv for sharing their firsthand experience of the war. Councillor Thompson remarked that Canadians are aware of the efforts by Ukraine to protect its citizens and to free the country from its invaders. Councillor Thompson stated that the City of Toronto stands firmly behind its Sister City and the people of Ukraine as they defend their homeland. Councillor Thompson expressed his gratitude to the Ukrainian community in Toronto in their efforts to support their homeland. Councillor Thompson advised Members that the City has created a page on its website at www.toronto.ca/refugee that has up-to-date information to help refugees from Ukraine. Members of Council stood for the National Anthem of Ukraine.

I am writing to request re-opening Item EY27.12, adopted by City Council on November 9, 10 and 12, 2021, which approved staff recommendations to prohibit parking at all times on the north side of La Rose Avenue, between a point 100 metres east of Timothy Court and a point 20 metres further east. An amendment to the parking prohibition location is required. Transportation Services has notified me that a number of underground utilities discovered in the boulevard in the subject area do not allow for the installation of additional sign posts where they were originally contemplated. As a result, Transportation Staff recommend that Council modify the parking prohibition location in order to utilize the nearest existing utility poles to accommodate the sign installations. The parking prohibition, including this proposed amendment, will improve visibility for pedestrians in the area of the walkway. REQUIRES RE-OPENING Item EY27.12 (November 9, 10 and 12, 2021 City Council meeting.)
City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022 adopted the following: 1. City Council delete its previous decision on Item EY27.12 and adopt instead the following: 1. City Council prohibit parking at all times on the north side of La Rose Avenue, between a point 80 metres east of Timothy Court and a point 70 metres further east.
