Jane Finch Initiative - Ideas Report and Phase 2 Directions
This report provides an update from City Planning on the Jane Finch Initiative. It summarizes the first round of community engagement and proposes a series of directions to guide the next phase of work for the development of a secondary plan and associated urban design guidelines for the study area. A summary of all of the proposed directions is found in Attachment 1. The Jane Finch Initiative is a resident-informed project to plan for the future of Jane and Finch. It is developing two integrated plans - a secondary plan and community development plan - so that residents, local groups and businesses are supported as the area changes over time with the opening of the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT). Through a first round of public and stakeholder engagement over the course of 2021, community members shared their thoughts, concerns and aspirations for the future of the neighbourhood. A record of these community conversations is contained in the Jane Finch Initiative Phase 1 Engagement Summary Report prepared by the City's engagement partner, the Jane Finch Community and Family Centre (Attachment 2). The Jane Finch Initiative Ideas Report (Attachment 3) analyzes what staff heard and proposes a series of directions that will form the basis of a second round of community conversations in the upcoming phases of work. These directions are organized around the themes that will be developed into a secondary plan including land use, urban design, mobility, parks and public realm, community service facilities, heritage, housing, climate resilience and infrastructure. A companion staff report, prepared jointly by Social Development, Finance and Administration and Economic Development and Culture, is proceeding through the Economic and Community Development Committee and will be presented along with this report at the same City Council meeting. That report contains an update on the community development plan and next steps for that parallel stream of work.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the Jane Finch Initiative Ideas Report, found in Attachment 3 to the report (March 29, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, as the basis for a second phase of community engagement. 2. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the Jane Finch Initiative Ideas Report, found in Attachment 3 to this report, to evaluate current and future development applications within the Study Area as shown as Figure 1 of the report (March 29, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 3. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report back with a proposed Jane Finch Secondary Plan and draft Urban Design Guidelines by the third quarter of 2023. 4. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, the Executive Director, Social Development Finance and Administration and the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in collaboration with other involved divisions, to continue to implement an inter-divisional approach to the next phase of work under the Jane Finch Initiative and to align the Secondary Plan and the Community Development Plan for Jane and Finch.

933-935 The Queensway - Class 4 Noise Area Classification (NPC-300)
The report recommends City Council classify the site at 933-935 The Queensway as a Class 4 Noise Area under Provincial Noise Guidelines (NPC-300) as administered by the Ministry of Environmental, Conservation and Parks (MECP). A Class 4 Noise Area classification allows for higher daytime and nighttime sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noises control measures. A Noise and Vibration Impact Study and Land Use Compatibility/Mitigation Study (Air Quality and Noise) were prepared in support of the development (the "Studies"). A third party peer review of the Studies supports the recommendation for a classification of the site to Class 4 Noise Area (among other environmental mitigation requirements). The owner has agreed to all of the environmental mitigation requirements set out in the peer reviewers report, including the classification of the site to a Class 4 Noise Area. A Class 4 Noise Area classification would allow the existing commercial/industrial uses close to the subject site to rely on this noise classification and related sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals including operating certificates.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1.City Council classify the lands municipally known as 933-935 The Queensway, currently subject to the Rezoning Application (File Number 19 156707 WET 03 OZ) and Site Plan Approval Application (File Number 20 104057 WET 03 SA), as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Publication NPC-300 (Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning). 2. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or their designate to forward a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP).

Pedestrian Crossover - Prince Edward Drive South at Bernice Avenue
Prince Edward Drive South, in the vicinity of Bernice Avenue is a two-lane 'Collector' road. There are sidewalks on both sides of Prince Edward Drive South. The intersection of Prince Edward Drive South and Bernice Avenue is a "T" intersection with a "Stop" control for westbound motorists on Bernice Avenue. Toronto Transit Commission operates daily bus service on Prince Edward Drive South. The legal speed limit on Prince Edward Drive South is 40 km/h. Park Lawn Junior Middle School is located in the area on the east side of Ballacaine Drive south of Bernice Avenue. In 2019, local community members and parents contacted my office to report their concern over a lack of protected pedestrian crossing along Prince Edward Drive South between Berry Road and Winston Grove. An onsite meeting with Transportation Services demonstrated that many children living on the west side of Prince Edward Drive South walk in groups to attend Park Lawn Junior Middle School, mainly crossing at Bernice Avenue. There are also seniors, cyclists, and young families with strollers that use Prince Edward Drive South frequently. There are multiple construction projects scheduled to take place this year and next in the area, as well as the Queensway Complete Streets project. Prince Edward Drive South will see additional traffic over the next 1-3 years, and perhaps beyond. Toronto Transit Commission buses and vehicles speeding on Prince Edward Drive South is also an ongoing issue. A pedestrian activated pedestrian crossovers would create a safer crossing option for pedestrians and cyclists and encourage more active transportation options along this route.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize a pedestrian crossover signal on Prince Edward Drive South at Bernice Avenue.
