Renaming Brookwell Park in Memory of Estella A. Wheeler
At the June 2024 City Council meeting, City Council requested through item 2024.MM19.7 that the General Manager, Parks and Recreation review the request to rename an existing or name a newly planned community garden in honour of the late Estella Wheeler. Parks and Recreation, along with Economic Development and Culture Division, worked in collaboration with Strategic Partnerships and the local Councillor to consult with the family of Estella Wheeler and the local community to identify an appropriate location to commemorate Estella Wheeler's life and community impact. The proposal to rename Brookwell Park, located at 44 Streamdale Court, as Estella A.

Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with Economic Development and Culture Division and Strategic Partnerships reviewed the application to name the property. The review concluded that the naming proposal complies with the criteria of the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy and aligns with the Guiding Principles for Commemoration, as outlined in the City of Toronto's Commemorative Framework.

NY34.81adopted
Highland Crescent - Traffic Calming (Speed Humps)
Residents on Highland Crescent continue to experience serious traffic safety issues, driven largely by traffic infiltration caused by high volumes of traffic on York Mills Road and Bayview Avenue, and the routing of traffic through the neighbourhood by navigation apps. Many of the vehicles exceed the local speed limits. Two community petitions showed very strong support for traffic calming in the form of speed humps for Highland Crescent both between York Mills Road and Birchwood Avenue, as well as between Birchwood Avenue and Bayview Avenue. This motion seeks authorization for Transportation Services to install speed humps, as an added traffic calming measure, to deter such behaviour and ensure motorists maintain safe speeds while traveling through the neighbourhood. The motion proposes speed humps on Highland Crescent between Beechwood Avenue and Birchwood Avenue, as well as between Birchwood Avenue and Bayview Avenue. Both are in line with recent warrant studies undertaken by Traffic Operations.
North York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (eleven speed humps) on Highland Crescent, between Beechwood Avenue and Bayview Avenue, generally as shown in Drawing Numbers TC-775, TC-775-1, TC-776 and TC-776-1, dated June 2026, from the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services, in the attachment to the Letter (June 18, 2026) from Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin.

Dawlish Avenue - Traffic Calming (Speed Humps)
Residents on Dawlish Avenue experience serious traffic safety issues, including many vehicles exceeding the local speed limit. A community petition showed strong support for traffic calming in the form of speed humps for Dawlish Avenue between Mildenhall Road and Bayview Avenue. This motion seeks authorization for Transportation Services to install speed humps, as an added traffic calming measure, to deter such behaviour and ensure motorists maintain safe speeds while traveling on Dawlish Avenue. The speed and volume study undertaken as part of the Lawrence Park Transportation Study showed traffic calming is warranted.
North York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (five speed humps) on Dawlish Avenue between Mildenhall Road and Bayview Avenue, generally as shown on attached Drawing Number ATP-SH-266 dated June 2026, in the attachment to the Letter (June 18, 2026) from Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin.

NY34.83adopted
Sutherland Drive - Traffic Calming (Speed Humps)
Residents on Sutherland Drive are experiencing serious traffic safety issues. Speeding and high traffic volumes are serious concerns, especially due to congestion on local arterial roads like Laird Drive and the suggested routes offered by navigation apps such as Google Maps and Waze, which often direct drivers to infiltrate neighbourhoods to avoid traffic. Many of the vehicles exceed the local speed limits. A community petition showed very strong support for traffic calming in the form of speed humps for Sutherland Drive between Eglinton Avenue and Stickney Avenue. This motion proposes speed humps on Sutherland Drive between McRae Drive and Stickney Avenue, as well as between Parkhurst Boulevard and McRae Drive. Results from a recent study by Traffic Operations showed warrant criteria being met on the first segment. There was no data for the segment between Parkhurst Boulevard and McRae Drive, but as a continuation north and with greater length, speeding on this block is well known in the community to be as bad or worse as on the adjacent segment. Installing speed humps on the two-block stretch between McRae Drive and Parkhurst Boulevard will hopefully also bring some relief for the three blocks to the north (between Eglinton Avenue and Parkhurst Boulevard), where warrant criteria were not met.
North York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (four speed humps) on Sutherland Drive, between Parkhurst Boulevard and Stickney Avenue, generally as shown in Drawing Numbers TC-778 and TC-778-1, dated June 2026, from the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services, in the attachment to the Revised Letter (June 25, 2026) from Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin recommends that: 1. North York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (four speed humps) on Sutherland Drive, between Parkhurst Boulevard and Stickney Avenue, generally as shown in Drawing No. TC-778, dated June 2026, from the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services.

Review Steeles Avenue East Road Upgrades: Bayview Avenue to Townsend Road
As part of the Steeles Avenue East Road reconstruction project completed in 2024, curb radii reductions were installed at several intersections to improve pedestrian safety and reduce vehicle turning speeds. Since the installation of these measures, residents have raised concerns regarding the ability of larger vehicles, including school buses and waste collection trucks, to safely complete turns from Steeles Avenue East onto local streets. Reports indicate that some vehicles may be mounting the curb while turning, creating potential safety concerns for pedestrians and motorists. A review by Transportation Services will help determine whether the curb radii reductions are functioning as intended, meeting applicable City standards, and providing the desired safety benefits while accommodating the operational needs of larger vehicles.
North York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review the curb radii reductions installed as part of the Steeles Avenue East road reconstruction project at the intersections of Old English Lane, Tarbert Road, Olive Villa Court, Laureleaf Road, Canadiana Drive, Bestview Drive, Fairway Heights, Bluffwood Drive, Aspenwood Drive, Edgar Woods Road, and Townsend Road, and report back to North York Community Council in the first quarter of 2027 on: a. whether the curb radii reductions are operating safely and in accordance with City standards and design objectives; b. any observed impacts on the ability of large vehicles, including school buses, waste collection vehicles, and emergency vehicles, to safely navigate these intersections; c. any collision, operational, or maintenance issues identified since installation; and d. any recommended modifications required to improve flow, safety and accessibility for all road users.

Improving Student Safety on Seneca Hill Drive
Seneca Hill Drive is a heavily used community corridor that serves three schools, Crestview Public School, Seneca Hill Public School and Don Valley Middle School, as well as two parks, multiple childcare centres, and surrounding residential neighbourhoods. Following consultations with school principals and parent council representatives, ongoing concerns have been raised regarding speeding and unsafe driving behaviour along this section of roadway. Given the high number of children, families, and other vulnerable road users who use this corridor on a daily basis, additional measures are needed to improve safety. Reducing the speed limit to 30 kilometres per hour is an important first step in creating a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists. Following implementation, a traffic calming study will help determine whether further measures are required to address speeding and improve safety for all road users.
North York Community Council: 1. Amended the speed limit on Seneca Hill Drive, between Finch Avenue East and Van Horne Avenue, from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour. 2. Requested the General Managerm, Transportation Services, to undertake a traffic calming study for Seneca Hill Drive, between Finch Avenue East and Van Horne Avenue, following the implementation of the reduced speed limit in Part 1 above, and report back to North York Community Council with findings for the purpose of consultation.

Gladys Allison Place - Requesting Changes to Parking Regulations
On behalf of local residents, I am requesting that the existing No Parking Anytime regulation on the west side of Gladys Allison Place be amended to No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The change would be consistent with the regulations within the surrounding community and provide parking for those wanting to access the parks in the vicinity during evenings and weekends.

Castlefield Avenue and Avenue Road Parking Amendments: Lullaboo Daycare
My office has received communications from residents expressing concerns regarding traffic congestion and safety around the area of Castlefield Avenue and Avenue Road. The overwhelming demand for student drop-off and pick-up activity does not allow for parents to park for any length of time in the limited four parking spaces. Therefore, for maximum efficiency it must operate as a kiss and ride where parking is prohibited.
North York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing 15-minute maximum parking limit on the north side of Castlefield Avenue, between a point 15 metres east of Avenue Road and a point 21.5 metres further east. 2.

396 Cortleigh Boulevard - Parking Amendments
My office has received communications from residents expressing concerns regarding traffic congestion and safety around the area of Bathurst Street and Cortleigh Boulevard. The existing three-hour parking limit in front of the daycare results in long-term parking that significantly limits drop-off and pick-up activity. Prohibiting parking in this area to facilitate a kiss and ride would increase drop-off and pick-up capacity. The proposed one-hour limit, east of the daycare will provide short-term parking for parents. The proposed stopping prohibition opposite the daycare and the proposed parking prohibition in front of Cortleigh Parkette will promote safe and efficient two-way traffic.
North York Community Council: 1. Approved a one-hour maximum parking limit, in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Cortleigh Boulevard, between a point 91.5 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 49.5 metres further east. 2.

City staff advised the resident and my office that allowing parking on this short stretch of road was feasible, and the requesting constituent, Mr. Li, successfully petitioned all adjacent residents. Neighbours are aware that the 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. parking prohibition remains in place from December 1 to March 31 for winter maintenance, as on all streets (unsigned) in the former city of North York. City Staff supports these recommendations.
North York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition, in effect at all times, on both sides of Woodsworth Road, between Bannatyne Drive (southeast intersection) and Stubbs Drive. 2. Prohibited parking at all times, on the west side of Woodsworth Road, between Bannatyne Drive (southeast intersection) and Stubbs Drive. 3. Prohibited parking at all times, on the east side of Woodsworth Road, between Elliotwood Court and Stubbs Drive.

I am writing regarding the final phase of the Marlee-Glencairn Study to ensure that the final report comprehensively addresses the infrastructure and service needs required to support both current residents and future growth along the Marlee Avenue corridor. The Marlee-Glencairn community continues to attract significant development interest due to its proximity to higher-order transit and its designation within a future Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA), consistent with provincial planning policy and legislative changes that require municipalities to plan for intensified, transit-supportive growth in areas well served by higher-order transit. While growth presents opportunities for badly needed new housing and investment, it must be accompanied by the infrastructure, community services, and mobility improvements necessary to create a complete and sustainable community that supports a high quality of life for residents today, and for decades to come. As the study advances toward completion, the final report must provide a clear assessment of community infrastructure needs, including social and recreational facilities as well as adequate police services. Existing community amenities are already heavily utilized, and expansion will place additional demands on these services. Planning for development must include a strategy to ensure that residents have access to the facilities and services needed to support healthy, safe, and connected communities. The final report should also identify the water and sewer infrastructure required to accommodate growth. Sufficient and appropriately phased servicing capacity is essential to supporting development while protecting system reliability and maintaining service levels for existing residents and businesses. The assessment should also consider infrastructure resilience, including opportunities to reduce the risk of basement flooding, manage wet weather flows, and address system capacity constraints that may be exacerbated by future growth. Transportation and mobility considerations are equally critical. Residents have consistently raised concerns regarding the existing, unacceptable congestion, safety, accessibility, and connectivity. The final phase of the Study should therefore evaluate a full range of mobility options that help mitigate congestion including the reconfiguration of the Allen Expressway ramps at Lawrence Avenue West, enhanced pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and opportunities to improve connections across existing barriers such as a new pedestrian bridge or the reconfiguration of existing bridges. Finally, as the City plans for long-term growth and intensification, it is important to assess the capacity and future needs of electricity infrastructure serving the Marlee corridor. Reliable electrical service is a critical component of sustainable communities supporting housing, businesses, public facilities, and broader city-building objectives. The Growing Marlee-Glencairn Study presents an opportunity to establish a comprehensive framework that aligns future growth with the infrastructure investments necessary to support it. Residents deserve confidence that development will be guided by thoughtful planning and coordinated infrastructure delivery. I encourage Council to support this motion and ensure that the final phase of the study provides a thorough assessment of the community infrastructure, servicing, transportation, and utility requirements needed to accommodate future growth to create a complete and sustainable community in a responsible manner.
North York Community Council: 1. Requested the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Executive Director, Development Review, General Manager, Toronto Water and General Manager, Transportation Services, to advance the final phase of Growing Marlee-Glencairn in a manner that ensures the final report addresses: a. community infrastructure to support current needs including community recreation facilities and police services; b. water and sewer infrastructure required to service future projected growth within the Growing Marlee-Glencairn Study Area; inclusive of a funding plan by the landowner groups in the area; c. a range of mobility options to support travel choices for area residents and workers including congestion management, reconfiguration of ramps at Lawrence Allen and Marlee Avenue, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, including the possibility of a new pedestrian bridge or the reconfiguration of existing bridges; and d. electricity infrastructure for the Marlee corridor from Lawrence to Eglinton. 2. Requested the General Manager of Transportation Services to conduct a traffic volume monitoring study of existing conditions on common through-routes in the study area to support development of traffic infiltration mitigation strategies that can be advanced with the mobility study outlined above in Part 1c above.

Sunnybrook Park Trail Off of Salonica Road - Restricting Driveway Access
My office received the request from staff that the removal of the one-foot reserve at the south end of Salonica Road is required to facilitate an emergency access route into Sunnybrook Park and construction access for the Wilket Creek Bridge replacement project. A gated entrance will be installed to prevent unauthorized vehicular access except during construction. Residents expressed concerns that the new access road could result in increased vehicular activity within the park if used for other purposes, including routine operations. To address these concerns, while supporting the bridge reconstruction project, this amendment will ensure that, except during authorized construction, the access is restricted to emergency vehicles only and will not be available for routine Parks and Recreation Services operations or general public vehicular access. I am requesting that North York Community Council approve the following recommendation, prepared in consultation with Transportation Services staff.
North York Community Council: 1. Prohibited entry to the driveway access to Sunnybrook Park Trail on Salonica Road, at a point 30 metres south of Suncrest Drive, by inserting into the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 - Traffic and Parking - Schedule XXV (Entry Prohibited) in §950-1324 the following: (In column 1 Highway Not To Be Entered) (In Column 2 From) (In Column 3 Prohibited Time and/or Days) Access driveway to Sunnybrook Park Trail on Salonica Road at a point approximately 30 metres south of Suncrest Drive Salonica Road Anytime (except vehicles actively engaged in construction activities authorized for the site)

Hove Street - Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood Mobility Plan
Following increasing concerns in the community of high vehicle speeds, and both pedestrian and cyclist safety, Transportation Services developed The Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood Mobility Plan, a comprehensive study of traffic behaviours and travel patterns in the Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood. As part of the Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood Mobility Plan, Transportation Services recommended the installation of speed humps on Hove Street as part of the May Update. Since the installation of speed humps on surrounding streets, the Councillor's Office has received an increase of concerns from residents regarding speeding on Hove Street, including concerns that Hove Street's use as a bypass route to avoid the traffic calming measures on surrounding streets.
North York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (nine speed humps) on Hove Street between Codsell Avenue and Maxwell Street, generally as shown on Attachment 2 to the Letter (July 7, 2026) from Councillor James Pasternak, Drawing numbers ATP-SH-268, ATP-SH-269, and ATP-SH-270, dated July 2026.

Advancing the Bayview Block Plan
Bayview Avenue from Post Road to the 401 is an area undergoing significant change. With the implementation of the Major Streets Policy, this area has seen an increasing number of midrise applications which are a departure from the historical low-rise development this area has traditionally seen. The large lots found on this stretch of Bayview Avenue are particularly conducive to this form of development, as plots of land are often large enough to accommodate buildings of a midrise scale without the consolidation that would be required to achieve a similar effect in other areas. At the same time, this is an area with particular needs and nuances that should be taken into consideration as future development is planned. For example, Bayview Avenue is the singular connection point for many cul-de-sacs and dead-end roads, and as such is a high-traffic area prone to congestion and back-ups. It stands to reason that solutions and design approaches that may work in other areas of the City, may not work on Bayview Avenue. The York Mills Residents' Association has been a constructive partner in conceptualizing and planning the future of this community. They have worked collaboratively with a number of applicants in the area, providing feedback to inform revisions and often reaching resolutions on their proposals. Earlier this year, the York Mills Residents' Association undertook a process to develop the "Central Bayview Block Plan for Midrise Buildings", a comprehensive document drawing on lived experience and previous negotiations with applicants in the area, which outlines various considerations and concerns to inform future development along Bayview Avenue. With the Avenues Policy on the horizon, it is important that we plan the future of this community thoughtfully and with the engagement of residents. Receiving the Block Plan for information and incorporating it as an item of consideration in future development applications and Planning initiatives along Bayview Avenue will bring the work of the York Mills Residents' Association forward and help to strengthen the representative of community perspectives on local planning matters.
North York Community Council: 1. Forwarded the Central Bayview Block Plan to the Director, Community Planning, North York District, for information and consideration for Planning issues in the review of future development proposals along the portion of Bayview Avenue from Post Road to the 401 alongside existing planning policies and guidelines. 2. Forwarded the Central Bayview Block Plan to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, for information and consideration for Planning in the Avenues Policy implementation process in Ward 15, Don Valley West along the portion of Bayview Avenue from Post Road to the 401.
