Install Additional Flexible In-Road Signs on Prince Edward Drive South
Flexible in-road traffic calming signs are installed in the centre of the road, between opposing traffic lanes, and have a narrowing effect on the roadway which can give drivers the perception of the need to slow down. They are designed to withstand impacts from, and avert damage to, vehicles if struck by collapsing and rebounding. The use of these signs is currently in a pilot phase, but Prince Edward Drive South is one of the pilot locations. This motion directs staff to install as many additional signs as can fit on Prince Edward Drive South.
Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install as many additional flexible in-road signs as can fit on Prince Edward Drive South, by July 31, 2021.

Installation of All-Way Stop at Queens Avenue and Stanley Avenue
Stanley Avenue is a one-way street, with a posted speed limit of 30 km/hr and a contraflow bike lane. Queens Ave. is a two-way street with stop signs at Stanley Avenue. The intersection of Queens Avenue and Stanley Avenue in the Mimico community of Ward 3, is a wide and irregular shape. Because of its size and configuration, the intersection is confusing for all road users and I have witnessed several near miss accidents. I have requested the intersection be studied several times for traffic calming, and in 2018 I moved a motion requesting a study on the feasibility of a roundabout, intersection realignment, or any other changes to improve safety at this intersection. That study has been put on hold pending the Mimico Comprehensive Traffic Study. This matter cannot wait any longer. I am requesting an all -way stop be installed immediately at the intersection of Queens Avenue and Stanley Avenue, as an interim measure until the intersection can be re-designed.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services immediately install an all-way stop at the intersection of Queens Avenue and Stanley Avenue.

Changes to Parking Regulations on Marine Parade Drive
Marine Parade Drive is the main thorough fare in the Humber Bay Shores community, with Lake Ontario, the Waterfront Trail, and Humber Bay Shores Park to the south, and high density condominiums with restaurants and retail at-grade to the north. Given the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is increased pressure on our waterfront spaces, and the need to balance competing priorities. Parking along Marine Parade Drive can be difficult to find for people who are taking a short trip to the park, or visiting local shops and restaurants - often this parking is used by people spending the whole day at Humber Bay Shores Park. There are two large public parking lots in the area that can accommodate hundreds of vehicles in Humber Bay Park East and West, for those who are looking to spend extended periods of time in the parks. A two hour maximum parking limit is proposed on Marine Parade Drive to encourage turnover of available parking to assist short-term park visitors and people attending the local shops and restaurants.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, at a rate of $1.00 per hour and for a maximum period of 3 hours, on the east and south side of Marine Parade Drive, between a point 278 metres south/east of Lake Shore Boulevard West (west intersection) and a point 88 metres south of Lake Shore Boulevard West (east intersection), to be in effect for a maximum period of 2 hours. 2. City Council amend the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, at a rate of $1.00 per hour and for a maximum period of 3 hours, on the east and south side of Marine Parade Drive, between Lake Shore Boulevard West (east intersection) and a point 48 metres south, to be in effect for a maximum period of 2 hours.

50 Humberwood Boulevard - Part Lot Control Exemption Application
The City of Toronto received an application for the lifting of Part Lot Control at 50 Humberwood Blvd on March 19, 2021. This application will allow for the creation of 36 freehold townhouse lots on blocks 1-6 at 66M-2568. The application was circulated to all relevant parties and comments were received with no issues identified. City Legal and Planning staff are supportive of the application and the recommendations outlined below. Due to various delays in the development process associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the break in Community Council meetings over the coming months, the applicant has requested that this item to be brought forward in absence of a staff report. In the event these recommendations are not approved at the July meeting of Toronto City Council, there will be significant delays for residents looking to move into these townhouse units in early September, which is problematic because in some cases residents have sold their previous residences and may not have other housing options in the interim. Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, authorizes City Council to adopt a by-law exempting lands within a registered plan of subdivision from Part Lot Control. The subject lands are within a registered plan of subdivision. The lifting of Part Lot Control on the subject lands is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands and will facilitate the development.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the lands at 50 Humberwood Boulevard (Part Lot Control Exemption Application No.: 21 130592 WET 01 PL) as generally illustrated on Attachment 1 to the letter (June 22, 2021) from Councillor Michael Ford, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council. 2. City Council require the owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. 3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title. 4. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.
