Parking Prohibition Request - Flint Road - East Side
The Provincially Significant Employment Zone 9, Keele - Dufferin, is home to some of the largest employers in Ward 6 and the City of Toronto. A multitude of business operate every day from the area, including All Season Fencing LTD and Gertex Solutions. These two companies are experts on the fence manufacturing and industrial packaging fields respectively, employing hundreds of workers. Both companies, located along the west side of Flint Rd. have experienced problematic parking behaviour across their properties. The lack of proper signage and regulations have allowed drivers to park and on instances, abandon commercial vehicles along the east side of Flint Rd, regularly blocking access into and out of the multiple driveways servicing the addresses of 350 and 400 Flint Rd. These parked vehicles also constantly block the suggested bike routes along Flint Rd. It is because of the previously highlighted reasons that a change on on-street parking regulations, along the east side of Flint Rd., have been requested by the aforementioned business owners and evaluated by Transportation Staff.
North York Community Council: 1. Prohibited parking at all times on the east side of Flint Road, between the south end of Flint Road and Martin Ross Avenue.

Urgent Environmental Assessment Request - Downsview Avenue
During the last decade, the City of Toronto has seen a surge on property flooding incidents closely tied to powerful storm events. Ward 6 and adjacent Wards have been home to many of these incidents. Residents living west of the Humber River Hospital, and to the north and south areas of Wilson Ave., experienced extreme basement flooding from storm events in 2013 and 2018. Subsequently, almost all claims made by affected residents have been rejected. Currently these residents live in fear every time a storm is forecasted. The proximity to Black Creek, Highway 401, and the recently completed Humber River Hospital, have all reportedly contributed to the community's increasing flooding risks. The Ridge Park storm water management pond and related infrastructure were completed in 2013, while the hospital opened its door in 2015. These two new additions in the neighbourhood were quickly identified as key factors altering storm water flow in the area. As a result, the City has been working with the Ministry of Transportation to upgrade the ditch running parallel to Downsview Ave. between Ridge Road and Black Creek; and with Infrastructure Ontario to increase capacity at the Ridge Park storm water management pond. As of August 2019, the design for the pond was completed with expected construction to begin by the end of the year. Aside from land development and natural phenomena, aging sewer and storm water infrastructure have also been identified as flooding catalysts. Throughout the last decade, the City Of Toronto conducted a series of Environmental Assessment (EA) Studies to catalog existing infrastructure preventing or propelling flooding scenarios. These EAs ultimately proposed a series of sewer and storm management upgrades across several neighbourhoods in Toronto. The Downsview Avenue neighbourhood, was included in Study Area 16 (Black Creek/Highway 401/Dufferin Street). The study began in 2007 and concluded in 2012. At the time, the contracted consulting firm, Stantec, discounted the need for flooding prevention measures. Since the latest Environmental Assessment Study, the area has seen significant development and flooding incidents have worsened. On April 29, 2019, one hundred and fifteen residents (115) provided a petition to our office requesting that the below-grade infrastructure around and west of the Humber River Hospital, be assessed and upgraded. Based on the information stated above, our office requests that the residents' concerns be addressed with urgency.
North York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Toronto Water to report back on the feasibility and cost of conducting a localized Basement Flooding Environmental Assessment Study of the area bounded by Petherhill Avenue to the east, Highway 401 to the south, Jane Street to the west and Wilson Avenue to the north; commencing no later than January 2020.

On the morning of Tuesday, September 10th, 2019, a pedestrian was tragically struck and killed by a cement truck making a right turn onto Erskine Avenue from Yonge Street. As you may know, Erskine Avenue is situated in the Yonge-Eglinton neighbourhood - an area that is developing at an unprecedented pace. At the time of writing, there are more than 50 construction projects underway in this neighbourhood. I have heard from many Erskine Avenue residents that their residential street has become a thoroughfare for trucks, construction vehicles, and drivers looking to avoid congestion at the Yonge-Eglinton intersection. Erskine Avenue is located within the radius of the John Fisher Junior Public School Safety Zone.
North York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services staff to undertake an urgent Vulnerable Road User Safety Review at the intersection of Yonge Street and Erskine Avenue with emphasis to mitigate construction traffic infiltration on residential side streets and that Staff should consider all options to improve pedestrian safety including temporary turning movement restrictions for heavy vehicles, additional police enforcement, and provision of a Paid Duty Officer (PDO) as required.

On August 9th, 2019 I held a meeting in Lawrence Heights with residents and members of the LHION Safety Committee in Lawrence Heights to provide an update on the work the City has been doing and getting feedback from residents. This is a most challenging time for our City and local community, as we experience this explosion of gun violence. In addition, I had organized a walkabout with Transportation Staff at Lawrence Heights on August 16, 2019 with local residents to help identify some of the possible enhancements that can provide immediate benefits to the community. In consideration of local community and residents having expressed great concern towards traffic calming measures that can be taken, I therefore ask that City Staff report back to North York Community Council with a report on their neighbourhood level study of the Lawrence Heights with specific focus towards traffic calming measures.
North York Community Council: 1.
