St. Clair Avenue West - Pay-and-Display Parking
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on the streets in this report, City Council approval of this report is required. Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new on-street paid parking in Ward 5 that will support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking within an existing layby on St. Clair Avenue West in Ward 5. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing parking restrictions currently in effect, including no parking. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover. While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking in Ward 5, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the amendments to parking regulations required to establish new on-street paid parking locations, as set out in Attachments 2 and 3 to the report (April 16, 2025) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

720 Humberwood Boulevard - Reallocation of Section 37 Benefit Contribution
On May 12, 2010, City Council enacted By-law 477-2010, a Zoning By-law Amendment for the property at 720 Humberwood Boulevard, to permit the development of 9 single detached dwellings and 62 semi-detached dwellings. As part of this development the owner was required to provide the City with a Section 37 cash contribution in the amount of $53,250 to be used specifically toward the construction of a surface parking lot related to Indian Line Park. The owner and the City entered into a Section 37 Agreement registered on title to the property on May 26, 2010, and the owner provided the cash contribution to the City. The parking lot was never constructed and is no longer needed. City Planning and Parks and Recreation staff have identified the need for additional funds required for the construction of playground and related components in Indian Line Park, and recommend that the cash contribution be reallocated to this current project. Both the Zoning By-law Amendment and the Section 37 Agreement do not contain a reallocation provision that would allow the City to reallocate the cash contribution to another benefit in the instance when the identified benefit is no longer required. Therefore, a revision to By-law 477-2010 is required to re-direct the funds for the construction of the playground equipment and related components. Urgent consideration is being requested as additional funding is needed as soon as possible as the playground improvements project is in the design development phase, where the construction drawings are progressing and the tender process for construction should be reached in late spring 2025 to maintain current project timelines.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to bring forward a City-initiated amendment to By-law 477-2010 to reallocate the Section 37 contribution of $53,250 from the construction of a surface parking lot related to Indian Line Park to the construction of the playground equipment and related components in Indian Line Park.

Converting Ryding Avenue into a One-Way Street
Ryding Avenue is a two-way local public road situated one block south of St. Clair Avenue West, running easterly from Runnymede Road for approximately 710 metres. In addition to a direct connection from Runnymede Road, Ryding Avenue also provides indirect connections to St. Clair Avenue West through Cobalt Avenue and Keele Street through Gourley Crescent, Dods Avenue and West Toronto Street. The north side of Ryding Avenue is lined with residential homes, while the south side features Runnymede Park, George Bell Arena and a small pocket of residential homes closer to Runnymede Road. Further west, along Ethel Avenue and West Toronto Street, the corridor provides access to two major retail areas. Historically, Ryding Avenue has been used as a cut-through route by various types of vehicles-including cars, trucks, and tractor trailers-traveling between Runnymede Road and Keele Street. On March 6, 2024, City Planning hosted a community meeting regarding the proposed development at 87 Ethel Avenue. During this meeting, residents voiced their concerns about current traffic volumes on Ryding Avenue and the anticipated increase in traffic associated with the new development, particularly in relation to pedestrian and community safety. One potential solution proposed at the meeting was to convert Ryding Avenue into a one-way street, eastbound from Runnymede Road to Cobalt Avenue. Planning and Transportation staff noted this suggestion and agreed to further assess its merits through the 87 Ethel Avenue development proposal, which will eventually require Site Plan Approval. Shortly after the community meeting, my office received a formal petition signed by over 70 residents of Ryding Avenue requesting the conversion of the street to a one-way eastbound operation between Runnymede Road and Cobalt Avenue. This motion seeks to authorize the eastbound one-way conversion of Ryding Avenue, between Runneymede Road and Cobalt Avenue.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Designated Ryding Avenue, between Runneymede Road and Cobalt Avenue, as one-way for eastbound traffic only.

Councillor Frances Nunziata recommends that: 1. Etobicoke-York Community Council designate Ryding Avenue, between Runneymede Road and Cobalt Avenue, as one-way for eastbound traffic only.
