The Donway West - Parking Amendments
As the Toronto Transit Commission operates a transit service on The Donway West, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services is recommending that stopping be prohibited at all times on the east side of the Donway West in the vicinity of 215 and 255 The Donway West. Currently parking is prohibited in these areas from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and allowed for up to three hours at all other times. The proposed amendment will deter parking and unloading near the driveways to these addresses, which obstruct visibility for exiting drivers.

Curlew Drive and Rialto Drive - All-way Compulsory Stop
I have heard from area residents about traffic safety concerns on Rialto Drive and Curlew Drive. Specifically, the speed of vehicles and the danger of crossing the road. Many residents have suggested the need for a three-way stop sign at Curlew Drive and Rialto Drive. There currently exists a two-way stop sign on Rialto Drive at the intersection, but not Curlew Drive. It has become busy enough to warrant a three way stop.
North York Community Council: 1. Authorized an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Curlew Drive and Rialto Drive / Private Access.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Jon Burnside recommends that: 1. North York Community Council authorize an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Curlew Drive and Rialto Drive / Private Access.

Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Bayview Bridge Rehabilitation Project
As the local Councillor, I often hear from residents who are concerned about pedestrian safety on the Bayview Bridge, just north of Lawrence Avenue East. At this location, Bayview Avenue is a six-lane, major arterial road where vehicles often travel in excess of the posted 50 kilometres per hour speed limit. Pedestrians using the Bayview Bridge often include school-age children travelling to and from Crescent School, Toronto French School, Crestwood School, and Glendon College, as well as visitors to the Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf. As you know, excessive speeds have been identified as a key contributing factor to traffic-related injuries and fatalities. In early 2024, Transportation Services will be initiating an environmental assessment (EA) of the Bayview Bridge to review rehabilitation and replacement options. As part of the EA, staff will review potential designs that support Complete Streets Guidelines and the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. In the past, I have worked with Transportation Services on temporary pedestrian safety improvements on the Bayview Bridge. However, the upcoming environmental assessment presents a unique opportunity to permanently create safer conditions for pedestrians through measures such as a concrete barrier.
North York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to explore permanent measures to improve pedestrian safety on the Bayview Bridge, including a permanent barrier separating pedestrians from the roadway, as part of the upcoming Environmental Assessment.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Jaye Robinson recommends that North York Community Council: 1. Direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to explore permanent measures to improve pedestrian safety on the Bayview Bridge, including a permanent barrier separating pedestrians from the roadway, as part of the upcoming Environmental Assessment.
