This motion seeks to revise the timelines for temporary lane closures required for the Ontario Line Lower Don Bridge and Leaside Bridge across the Don Valley Parkway, as approved by City Council on May 10, 2023 in Item EX4.9 " Metrolinx Ontario Line - Temporary Lane Closures on the Don Valley Parkway and F.G. Gardiner Expressway and Temporary Delegation of Authorit y". The delay in the contractor procurement process prevented Metrolinx from commencing work when originally envisaged for the installation of fibre optic cable brackets and conduits at the Lower Don Bridge. Additionally, the construction of the retaining wall and relocation of storm sewer at the Leaside Bridge were also delayed. With contractors now onboard the project, a thorough review of lane closure requirements has resulted in refined construction timelines and a reduced number of nightly lane closures to complete these works, while keeping the scope of work unchanged. This motion seeks City Council approval for the revised lane closure timeline, with work scheduled to start in April 2024. Reason for urgency: The required lane closures to undertake the work are imminent. REQUIRES RE-OPENING: EX4.9 Metrolinx Ontario Line - Temporary Lane Closures on the Don Valley Parkway and F.G.

In 2022 the Neighbourhood Land Trust took ownership of the vacant and derelict un-licensed rooming housing property at 128 Havelock Street, as part of a larger portfolio of 81 properties acquired from Toronto Community Housing Corporation. Neighbourhood Land Trust has worked with City staff to develop a construction project that proposes redeveloping 128 Havelock Street from a 5-room house to a property offering 10 new self-contained residential units of affordable rental housing. This will be accomplished through a major retrofit of the existing building and the new construction of a back addition. YWCA Toronto will be the social housing operator for this property. The units will be offered to households led by women or gender diverse individuals, selected through the City of Toronto's waiting list for subsidized housing. This motion is urgent as the Housing Secretariat must confirm financial contributions to the project in order to prepare the Open Door Contribution Agreement and allow the project to proceed.

The purpose of this motion is to seek on behalf of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Transportation Services, City Council's authorization to amend Purchase Order #6054610 and contract 23ECS-RD-09SP with Midome Construction Services Limited dated March 29, 2023, for the installation of new streetcar tracks and associated infrastructure on Adelaide Street, between York Street and Victoria Street. This work is a part of the planned streetcar detour around the Ontario Line Queen Street closure. The project, delivered by the City and funded by Metrolinx, is progressing well and is on schedule for completion by June 2024. In accordance with Item 2023-GG2.16, approved by City Council on March 29, 2023, Midome Construction Services Limited was awarded a non-competitive contract totalling $40,240,992, exclusive of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries to deliver the work. In December 2023, City Council authorised MM13.23, an Amendment to the contract which increased the value of the Purchase Order #6054610 by a total value of $3,376,905.60, from $40,240,992, to $43,617,897.60 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoverable. A second Purchase Order Amendment is now required to address several unforeseen design changes, including relocation of Toronto Hydro, Zayo, Rogers and Beanfield cables, reconstructing several Toronto Water combined sewer brick manhole chambers within the new streetcar tracks and installing Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) priority loops and traffic signals at York/Adelaide intersection to meet current design requirements. The total value of this second Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $5,466,401.89 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoverable, revising the current Purchase Order value from $43,617,897.60 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoverable to up to $49,084,299.49 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoverable. The full value of this Purchase Order Amendment will be funded by Metrolinx, in accordance with the Metrolinx letter/agreement dated March 18, 2024. The Metrolinx-funded works will be accommodated within the 2024-2033 Transportation Services 3rd party funded capital budget (CTP 817-01). A budget adjustment will be required in the subsequent capital variance report to right-size the account to accommodate this amendment. To enable the utilization of the additional funds from Metrolinx within the awarded contract to Midome, City Council approval is required. Reason for urgency: Construction work is currently taking place on Adelaide Street.

Established in 1958, St Cyril Catholic School has been a part of the landscape of Willowdale for a long time. In 2005, the City purchased a large portion of the St. Cyril school yard from the TCDSB. The city made a commitment to build a playing field in the remaining TCDSB-owned yard. That field was built in and in operation by 2007. Due to the stress of 400+ children playing on the field, the grass failed to grow and instead, the yard was muddy and unusable for the children during wet weather conditions. In response, the TCDSB decided to pave the entire yard, thereby eliminating 90% of its softscape in 2012. Because the school exhausted their funds on the paving of the school yard, previous Councillor Fillion provided $114,250 in Section 37 funding to the school in support of establishing its current small track, piece of turf and a shade structure for student use. The school currently serves approximately 400 children from JK to Grade 8. The school yard is within a 5-minute walking distance to over 7000 residents, nestled between many high rises for whom this school yard is their closest large sized outdoor space. Further, the Parks, Forestry and Recreation division has indicated a need for basketball court space in the area to meet high demand. It would be very difficult to secure a large enough space to build a basketball court in the area. The St Cyril Parent Council is requesting the city provide partial funds in support of upgrading the TCDSB-owned yard that will provide more play value, not only to the children attending the school, but also to the 7000 community members in the neighbourhood. All upgrades will be accessible to the Willowdale community and will provide a more distinctive outdoor activity space than what is currently available nearby. This motion is urgent to the TCDSB planning team to release an RFP and to schedule construction during limited summer months.

Carjackings and automobile thefts have more than doubled year to date in 2024. Toronto Police Services have reported that there have been 68 carjackings so far this year - an alarming 106 per cent increase over the same time period in 2023. Auto thefts in 2023 topped 12,200 vehicles, an increase from 9,821 cars stolen in 2022. As the increase in car jackings demonstrates, auto thefts have become increasingly brazen and violent including break-and-enters related to auto theft that are on the rise and have already climbed to 34 incidents so far this year, eclipsing the 22 reported for all of 2023. There is more that needs to be done to combat this urgent and escalating crisis. After unacceptable delays in action, the Provincial and Federal governments have finally begun the process to end this epidemic - but we must act swiftly and decisively. It is clear to all levels of government that these thefts are part of a network of organized crime, with vehicles being stolen and shipped internationally. In addition to actions addressing the vulnerabilities at our shipping ports and in the antiquated anti-theft technologies that are offered by automobile manufacturers; more effective legislative action is required to act as a deterrent at the source - the criminals stealing the cars in the first place. This motion should be deemed urgent due to the need for immediate action at all levels of government, and the need for stiffer penalties to crack down on these crimes.

Shoreham Court is a Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) neighbourhood that has demonstrated tremendous resiliency in the past in dealing with gun violence. After a recent incident this spring, residents have convened and demanded a number of actions to create a safer community. All residents, in all of our neighbourhoods deserve to enjoy their public spaces in safety and that is currently not the case. The current situation has forced parents to rethink their children's outdoor activities, as the fear of violence prevents them from feeling safe in the local park. In the face of this crisis, the community members of Shoreham Court have been steadfast in their advocacy for increased police presence and wrap arounds supports to prevent violence. TCHC has developed a safety hub model, called the IHelp Community Resource centre in response to incidents of violence at TCHC properties that involves an integrated, onsite response team of Neighbourhood Police Officers from Toronto Police Services, TCHC Community Safety Unit, the Safer Communities Program and the TCHC Tenant Engagement and Access and Support staff. TCHC has agreed to establish an IHELP Community Resource Centre in the neighbourhood of Shoreham Court and to continue to engage tenants around the design and mandate of the IHELP Community Resource Centre. This will provide much needed support to a community that is in crisis.

Small businesses across Toronto are facing an unprecedented wave of criminal break and enters that are affecting the daily lives of these business owners who are already struggling to recover and survive in the post-COVID environment. These small businesses owners are our friends and neighbours and help make up the fabric of our main street communities keeping them vibrant and ensuring that we have opportunities to shop local. Taken on their own, these selfish crimes may seem petty, but they are happening at an alarming rate and have a devastating impact on small business owners who may not be able to afford security guards or sophisticated alarm systems. These break-ins cause a disproportionate impact on the cost of repairs, lost business and increased insurance to name a few. On February 7, 2024, Council passed my motion MM14.16 - Summit to Solve the Epidemic of Criminal Break-and-Enters Against Small Business in the City of Toronto. On March 1, 2024, I organized and hosted the Summit attended by Toronto Police Service, Toronto Association Business Improvement Areas, many Business Improvement Areas and small business along with retail industry associations and a payments provider. It is vital that the City of Toronto have a program to support small businesses to protect themselves and prevent these crimes. The City of Toronto's Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program provides grants for security related improvements. The Program is continuously oversubscribed. This motion should be deemed urgent due to the need for immediate action at all levels of government, and the need for a joint response to crack down on these crimes and educate small business owners on the best actions to prevent the devastating effects of these break-ins.
City Council on March 20 and 21, 2024, adopted the following: 1. City Council amend its previous decision on item 2024.MM14.16 headed "Summit to Solve the Epidemic of Criminal Break-and-Enters Against Small Business in the City of Toronto", by requesting the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to include in the report to the Economic and Community Development Committee information on the uptake and impact of the current Commercial Façade and the Commercial Rehabilitation Program and if any enhancements are warranted to enable the City to provide more support to commercial property owners and small business tenants of commercial property for the installation of security lighting, cameras and other security hardware related improvements such as shatterproof glass and higher quality locks. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, on behalf of Council write to the appropriate Ministries of the Provincial and Federal governments requesting funding support for a grant program to fund security upgrades for small business similar to the Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Program or the Ontario Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant program.

The Leslieville neighbourhood is a growing area of the City with low or very low parkland provision (total area of parkland per resident). The Council-approved Parkland Strategy shows that one of highest areas of parkland need is adjacent to and west of Maple Leaf Forever Park between Queen Street East and Eastern Avenue. Additional parkland is needed to serve current and future residents. The existing parcel fabric, composed of smaller residential lots, makes it difficult to identify new opportunities for parkland. As a result, expanding Maple Leaf Forever Park has been identified as a priority to increase parkland supply in the area. Reason for Urgency: The subject properties could be acquired by another party in the near future.
City Council on March 20 and 21, 2024, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the local Councillor, to pursue expansion of Maple Leaf Forever Park through City acquisition of the properties identified in Confidential Attachment 1, using available funds from the Parkland Acquisition sub-project in the Land Acquisition project (account CPR115-50-01) in the 2024-2033 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to be funded by Section 42 First 5 per cent South District Parkland Acquisition Cash-in-lieu Reserve fund (Source Account XR2208). 2.
