This report summarizes the work completed to date, including community consultation, for the Woodbine Secondary Plan study and identifies the emerging vision and guiding principles to inform the next phase of work. The Woodbine Secondary Plan study is being undertaken to develop a vision and comprehensive planning framework for the Secondary Plan area anchoring the southeast quadrant of the Woodbine lands. The framework will form the foundation for the Woodbine Secondary Plan, Urban Design Guidelines, Transportation Master Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan and other planning tools to guide the development of a complete community within the Secondary Plan area that is well integrated with the overall Woodbine lands. The Woodbine Secondary Plan study is a City-initiated process with background materials submitted by the landowner, Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) and their consultants, based on the City's approved Terms of References. The WEG submission included a conceptual Master Plan, conceptual Urban Structure Plan, various technical studies and draft guiding principles supporting WEG's vision for a mixed-use community within the Secondary Plan area. These materials were used by City staff to frame the first phase of the Secondary Plan study process and formed the basis of community and stakeholder engagement. This work resulted in the identification of eight key principles and emerging directions for the planned urban structure which will inform the next phase of work: open, connected, rational, diverse, flexible, complete at every stage, sustainable, a place of its place. The next phase of the Secondary Plan study will include continued engagement with community members and stakeholders; completion of the updated Compatibility and Mitigation study; identification of community service and facilities needs and opportunities; refinement of the emerging directions for parks and open spaces; and the preparation of the Urban Design Guidelines.

Black Creek Drive and Weston Road - Pedestrian Crossing Protection
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Black Creek Drive and Weston Road, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection at the southbound and westbound right-turn channels at the intersection of Black Creek Drive and Weston Road. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services is recommending the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) at these locations. The PXOs will provide enhanced safety for vulnerable road users. During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the yield sign regulations. Recommendation 2 will correct this inconsistency.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of two pedestrian crossovers at the right-turn channels at the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of Black Creek Drive and Weston Road. 2. City Council authorize two yield controls on the right-turn channels at the northwest and northeast intersections of Black Creek Drive and Weston Road.

Liscombe Road - Installation of Speed Humps
Following community consultations and meetings with concerned residents of Liscombe Road, ongoing issues related to excessive speeding and cut-through traffic have been identified. As part of the broader Maple Leaf and Rustic Neighbourhood Streets Plan-which aims to enhance road safety, improve traffic flow, and increase pedestrian comfort-there is a need to implement targeted traffic calming measures. The installation of speed humps is being requested as an effective tool to reduce vehicle speeds, discourage non-local traffic infiltration, and support safer conditions for all road users.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Liscombe Road between Rustic Road and Maple Leaf Drive. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway to install four speed humps on Liscombe Road between Rustic Road and Maple Leaf Drive, generally as shown on Attachment 1, Drawing No. ATP-SH-259, to the letter (May 26, 2026) from Councillor Frances Nunziata.

Reducing Cut-Through Traffic in the Maple Leaf Neighbourhood
This motion focuses on addressing the increasing infiltration of non-local, cut-through traffic within the Maple Leaf neighbourhood, bounded by Jane Street, Keele Street, Lawrence Avenue West, and Highway 401. A significant volume of drivers are diverting onto local streets-such as Maple Leaf Drive, Falstaff Avenue, and Rustic Road-to bypass congestion on surrounding arterial roads and access regional highways. City data confirms that Maple Leaf Drive experiences the highest level of non-local traffic, with approximately 10 percent of vehicles during peak periods identified as cut-through traffic. This infiltration has raised ongoing concerns regarding road safety, noise, and the overall livability of the neighbourhood. This motion seeks to reduce cut-through traffic, improve safety on local streets, and protect the character and livability of the Maple Leaf neighbourhood.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate the feasibility of implementing a left-turn restriction from Jane Street onto Maple Leaf Drive during peak traffic periods, and report back to Etobicoke York Community Council at its meeting on July 7, 2026.

Mill Road - Infrastructure Review
In 2024 City Council adopted, as amended by the committee, item 2024IE14.4 - Cycling Network Plan - 2024 Cycling Infrastructure and Missing Sidewalk Installation - Third Quarter Update . In this report, the Centennial Park Cycling Connections project was approved. A main feature of the project was the installation of a bi-directional separated cycle track along the eastern edge of Mill Road, from Burnhamthorpe Road to Rathburn Road, in Ward 2- Etobicoke Centre. The new cycle track was constructed in 2025 using quick-build concrete barriers placed along the eastern edge of Mill Road, and it allocated pavement space between the existing road curbs to the new cycle track without eliminating any motor vehicle travel lanes. The original two lanes of the road were reduced each from 5.0 metres wide to 3.3 metres wide to accommodate the 2.4 metre wide bi-directional cycle track. With parking or stopping already prohibited on Mill Road, there were no parking or regulatory impacts to this portion of the road. In addition to the quick build components, there were some minor reconfigurations at the main intersections to facilitate safe connections between the new cycle tracks and new off-street bikeways on Burnhamthorpe Road and Rathburn Road. However, at the same time of the cycling project, City Staff made some geometric changes to the intersections with perpendicular streets to Mill Road. Through line painting, the placement of flexible posts, and the placement of precast concrete barriers, there were curb extensions, reductions to the turn radii, and reductions to the pedestrian crossing distances parallel to Mill Road. These changes, in conjunction with the installation of the new cycle tracks, have created some issues that have generated concerns from the public who use the road. Complaints from the public are various, however many are related to the tighter turn movements associated with the intersection geometry changes, and reduced lane widths of the main road. Many motorists have complained that to execute a turn onto the narrower lanes, portions of their vehicle must cross over the new centre line. Others have expressed concerns over tighter movements and visual distractions at intersections, and at times, the inability to have simultaneous turn movements. Based on my observations, most of these issues may be overcome with minor adjustments without affecting the integrity of the overall bikeway project or the previous Council approval. Some of the complications are a result of layering additional geometric change initiatives which were not integral to the new bikeway project. A close examination and investigation of the placement of curbs, driveways in the public boulevard, line markings or regulatory signage is required, and many of these are within the jurisdiction of Community Council. The purpose of this motion is to recognize the public concerns, and to formally request that priority be given to making some adjustments to the road and infrastructure installations. In the event that staff require any approvals to implement changes, a future report may be made to the Etobicoke York Community Council or other committee.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the local Councillor, to review public complaints and service requests regarding the installation of quick build road infrastructure placed in conjunction with the new Mill Road cycle tracks and make adjustments as necessary to address concerns. 2. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, review the placement of quick-build infrastructure, road markings and flexible posts placed on Mill Road and at perpendicular intersections to Mill Road to ensure adequate and safe geometry, sight lines, and space for simultaneous turn movements to accommodate vehicles of all sizes. 3. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to review driveway and intersection geometry, lane widths, driveway widths and flares, and vehicle movements in and out of Mill Road lanes to ensure there is space to avoid incursions into opposing traffic lanes, and make adjustments as necessary.

Review of Parking and Transit Related Requests for Etobicoke York District
Etobicoke-York continues to experience some significant transit service gaps when compared to other parts of the city. Many neighbourhoods remain highly car-dependent due to limited access to rapid transit, infrequent service, and overall travel times. In this context, the elimination of minimum parking requirements for new developments in areas that are not well served by transit may result in increased on-street parking demand, heightened traffic congestion, and spillover parking impacts on established residential neighbourhoods. In addition, new condominium, townhome, and multiplex developments that later petition for access to on-street residential parking permits place further pressure on local streets and undermine parking availability for existing residents and their visitors. These impacts can negatively affect neighbourhood livability and contribute to conflicts over limited curbside space. At the same time, parking at TTC Stations play a critical role as first- and last-mile infrastructure by enabling residents to access public transit where walking, cycling, or feeder bus options are limited. Maintaining and restoring access to transit parking can help reduce congestion on local roads, support increased transit ridership, and provide practical transportation options for Etobicoke-York residents during the transition to improved transit service.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to review the removal of minimum parking requirements as it applies to Etobicoke York District and to report back on the feasibility of pausing the elimination of minimum parking requirements for new developments in Etobicoke York District until enhanced and reliable transit infrastructure is in place. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with City Planning, to review and report back on the opportunity to create a bylaw or policy framework which would prohibit new condominium, townhome, and multiplex developments from petitioning for on‑street residential parking permits, in Etobicoke York District, in order to protect existing neighbourhood parking capacity. 3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to review options to restore and expand access to public parking at Etobicoke York District TTC Stations, and to report back on how improved transit parking can reduce local road congestion and increase transit ridership in Etobicoke York District.
