As the Toronto Transit Commission operates transit service on Steeles Avenue West, Bayview Avenue, and Leslie Street, City Council approval of this report is required. As part of the road resurfacing project on Steeles Avenue East from Bayview Avenue to Townsend Road in 2024, Transportation Services has included various safety improvements to improve safety for all road users. One of such measures planned is enhancement to the pedestrian crossings across a number of right-turn channels at intersections along Steeles Avenue West at Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street. Transportation Services recommends installing pedestrian crossovers at the right-turn channels at the intersections of Steeles Avenue East and Bayview Avenue, and Steeles Avenue East and Leslie Street. A total of five pedestrian crossovers between the two intersections are recommended.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of three pedestrian crossovers at the right-turn channels at the northeast, northwest and southeast corners at Steeles Avenue East and Bayview Avenue. 2. City Council authorize the installation of two pedestrian crossovers at the right-turn channels at the southeast and southwest corners at Steeles Avenue East and Leslie Street.

Marlee Avenue Corridor - Sewer, Water, and Hydro Infrastructure Capacity
There are currently over 15 development applications in the Marlee Avenue corridor from Lawrence Avenue West south to Eglinton Avenue West that propose unprecedented height and density. While these proposals may be in line with the Provincial Major Transit Station Area policy to build density around the three transit stations there, this area has been zoned Neighbourhoods with predominantly single-family dwellings for the past 30 plus years along with the requisite infrastructure. Given the drastic changes that are being proposed, it is important that we understand the sewer, water, and hydro infrastructure capacities to ensure this area receives the necessary upgrades to accommodate this growth. While the Glencairn Study is currently underway in this area, a capacity report for the sewers, hydro, and water is urgently needed as there are currently projects being reviewed, approved and already underway in this area and that will be built prior to the completion of the Glencairn Study. In addition to the existing capacity and that will be required to accommodate the increased density, it is critically important to understand the costs associated with the necessary upgrades as well as who is responsible to pay for it. As such, I am requesting that City Staff report back to North York Community Council regarding the status of the infrastructure capacity along Marlee Avenue and the lands in the Growing Glencairn Study Area, the estimated costs associated with any growth-related upgrades in order to ensure that current and future residents will be receiving the level of service they require.
North York Community Council: 1. Requested the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services, in consultation with the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services and the Chief Financial Officer, to report to North York Community Council by the third quarter of 2025 on the status of sewer, water, and stormwater capacity in the Marlee Avenue corridor and the lands within the Growing Glencairn Study Area, based on proposed and anticipated development scenarios. The report back will identify infrastructure capacities, the associated costs for upgrading the systems, how this infrastructure will be funded using existing and possible new funding tools that may be available, and the timing for the implementation of any identified upgrades. 2. Requested the Toronto Hydro Board in consultation with the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services, Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services and the Chief Financial Officer to report back to the North York Community Council on the existing and anticipated hydro capacity in the Marlee Avenue corridor and the lands within the Growing Glencairn Study Area. The report back will identify potential upgrades and associated costs needed to support current and anticipated growth, and tools that can be used for funding any upgrades.

This motion proposes to add permit parking on additional streets in the Stanley Green neighbourhood. Five years ago, a motion to include a new permit parking area (Permit Area 18A) along various streets in this neighbourhood was adopted (Item 2019.NY11.13). John Perkins Bull Drive, William Duncan Road, Franco Basille Grove, and Maria lacampo Gardens were not fully developed roads at that time and did not meet the requirements to be included in this amendment. Further transportation developments have taken place throughout Stanley Greene since 2019, and the community continues to grow in density and population. A number residents residing on John Perkins Bull Drive, William Duncan Road, Franco Basille Grove, and Maria lacampo Gardens have gathered two petitions requesting additional permit parking on these streets in order to accommodate the demands of increased traffic in the neighbourhood.
