Silver Moon Drive and Shore Breeze Drive - Traffic Regulation Amendments
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is recommending that various traffic regulations be implemented on Silver Moon Drive and Shore Breeze Drive, as these streets have recently been dedicated as public road allowance. Currently there are no traffic or parking regulations on these streets. The proposed traffic regulations are consistent with City policies and guidelines given the operation of the roadway and surrounding residential nature. The proposed regulations will deter parking on these streets, except within the designated lay-bys and maintaining a clear passage for vehicles.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Designated a 30 kilometres per hour speed limit on Silver Moon Drive between Lake Shore Boulevard West and Marine Parade Drive. 2. Prohibited heavy vehicles at all times on Silver Moon Drive between Lake Shore Boulevard West and Marine Parade Drive. 3.

Church Street - Removal of Traffic Calming Islands
In 2020, my office was approached by numerous residents of Church Street expressing urgent concerns about the growing danger posed by speeding vehicles. Their concerns were accompanied by a petition requesting the installation of speed humps to address the issue. However, since Church Street serves as a TTC route, speed humps were not considered a viable option. At the time, Transportation Services recommended the installation of a Traffic Calming Island as an alternative measure to deter speeding. Unfortunately, over the years, this measure has proven to be ineffective in slowing down traffic and has become a safety concern for the community. Transportation Services has updated the Traffic Calming Policy to include speed cushions which are specifically designed to reduce vehicle speeds while allowing TTC buses and emergency vehicles to pass through without disruption. Transportation Services has agreed to investigate the implementation of speed cushions on Church Street, between Grattan Street and Cypress Street and report back to City Council in Q1 of 2025 with their findings.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the removal of the existing traffic calming islands on Church Street between Grattan Street and Cypress Street. 2. City Council request the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to assess vehicle speed on Church Street, from Grattan Street to Cypress Street and report back with their findings on the feasibility of installation of speed cushions.

West Park Healthcare Centre has recently built a new state-of-the-art hospital facility. This will house additional patient beds, outpatient clinics and services, all designed to provide enhanced care for patients requiring complex rehabilitation and continuing care. The expansion has also introduced a new road leading to the hospital to improve access and traffic flow. Clear and visible directional signs are crucial to guide visitors, patients, and emergency vehicles efficiently to the new hospital and other facilities on site. Installing proper signage will ensure seamless access, reduce confusion, and enhance the overall experience for hospital visitors, contributing to the success of West Park's expanded services.
Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager of Transportation Services to negotiate an encroachment agreement with the property owner of the premises municipally known as 170 Emmett Avenue, which contains the facility referred to as West Park Healthcare Centre, which would allow for the use of a portion of the public right of way on the west side of Emmett Avenue at Campus Road 'A' - a private road of West Park Healthcare Centre, for one illuminated electronic sign, the encroachment agreement to contain all of the following conditions, and such other terms and conditions which the General Manager, Transportation Services or the City Solicitor may deem necessary in the interest of the City: a.
