Glamorgan Avenue - Speed Hump Installation
Speeding along Glamorgan Avenue, and adjacent streets, is creating a dangerous situation for residents in this neighbourhood. Combined with Antrim Crescent and Dundalk Drive, these roads are regularly used as a 'cut through' or alternate route to Ellesmere Road by drivers to avoid delays and traffic on Kennedy Road. This driver behaviour does not consider the safety of residents, students and the school community at Glamorgan Junior Public School, visitors to Glamorgan Park and residents at 39 Dundalk Supportive Housing, who walk on the street throughout the day. I am very concerned for the safety of residents, specifically children and seniors. In June, I hosted a community consultation in the area. Overwhelmingly, residents identified pedestrian and road safety as a high priority, sharing accounts of close calls from high speeds and reckless driving that threaten their daily safety. The installation of speed humps is one of the tools available that can be implemented both to deter speeding and use of these streets as an alternate route.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of speed humps on Glamorgan Avenue, between Kennedy Road and Dundalk Drive. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of four speed humps on Glamorgan Avenue, between Kennedy Road and Dundalk Drive, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. TC-321 to the letter (September 16, 2024) from Councillor Michael Thompson. 3. Subject to approval of Recommendations 1 and 2 above, reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Glamorgan Avenue, between Kennedy Road and Dundalk Drive, in conjunction with the installation of speed humps.

1161 Kingston Road - Construction Staging Area Time Extension
As Kingston Road is classified as a major arterial roadway, City Council approval of this report is required. Windmill Developments is constructing an 8-storey mixed-use building at 1161 Kingston Road. The site is located on the southeast corner of Kingston Road and Courcelette Road. The eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road and a portion of the northbound curb lane and east sidewalk on Courcelette Road are currently closed for construction staging operations. City Council, at its meeting on July 24 and 25, 2024, authorized the subject construction staging areas, from June 27, 2024, to September 15, 2024. The developer originally requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 11 months, ending on June 30, 2025. However, at the time of the report, the developer had planned to modify the construction staging area, as well as implement signal timing changes to address safety concerns and traffic congestion. Consequently, City Council only authorized the construction staging area for a two month period and directed Transportation Services to report back on the effectiveness of the aforementioned measures. Based on further review, the additional traffic mitigation measures are satisfactory. As such, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging areas on Kingston Road and Courcelette Road for a period of seven and nine months, respectively.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the closure of the south side sidewalk and eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road, between Courcelette Road and a point 50.0 metres east, and provision of a temporary pedestrian walkway within the closed portion of the eastbound curb lane, from October 15, 2024, to April 30, 2025, inclusive. 2. City Council authorize the closure of the east sidewalk and a 2.4-metre-wide portion of the northbound curb lane on Courcelette Road, between Kingston Road and a point 31.5 metres south, and provision of a temporary pedestrian walkway within the closed portion of the northbound curb lane, from October 15, 2024, to June 30, 2025, inclusive. 3. City Council direct the applicant to continue to pressure wash or sweep (weather permitting) the construction site and adjacent sidewalks and roadways daily, or more frequently as needed to be cleared of any construction debris and made safe. 4. City Council direct the applicant to continue to maintain a fully covered, protected and unobstructed walkway for all pedestrians, including for those with mobility devices, for the entire duration of the construction staging area permit to the satisfaction of the City engineer and ensure it is compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). 5. City Council direct the applicant to continue to ensure that the existing sidewalks or the proposed pedestrian walkway have proper enhanced lighting to ensure safety and visibility at all times of the day and night. 6. City Council direct the applicant to continue to clearly consult and communicate all construction, parking and road occupancy impacts with local business improvement areas and resident associations in advance of any physical road modifications. 7. City Council direct the applicant to continue to maintain the appropriate signage and request the applicant to install converging mirrors to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and motorists safety is considered at all times. 8. City Council direct the applicant to continue to provide a sufficient number of traffic control persons as determined by the Work Zone Coordinator and Toronto Police Construction Liaison Officer on a daily basis to control construction vehicle access and egress to and from the site and maintain a safe environment for the public. 9. City Council direct the applicant to continue to provide a sufficient number of pay-duty Police Officers as determined by the Work Zone Coordinator and Toronto Police Construction Liaison Officer, during large scale concrete pours and large scale material deliveries to control vehicle access and egress to and from the site and maintain a safe environment for the public. 10. City Council direct the applicant to continue to maintain cane detection within the covered and protected walkway to guide pedestrians who are visually impaired. 11. City Council direct the applicant to continue to post a 24-hour monitored construction hotline number on the hoarding board, which must be prominently placed and legible from 20 metres and on all elevations from the construction site. 12. City Council direct the applicant to continue to install public art, including mural artwork, onto every elevation of the hoarding board with adequate spotlighting for night-time illumination, at their sole cost, to the satisfaction of the Ward Councillor. 13. City Council direct that Kingston Road and Courcelette Road be returned to their pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete. 14. City Council direct the applicant to cooperate with and provide all necessary assistance to the City Engineers, staff and representatives carrying out operation, maintenance, and construction activities to municipal infrastructure within the vicinity of the construction staging area, and at no cost to the City to remove any staging to accommodate the necessary municipal infrastructure work.

Arden Crescent - Accessible Loading Zone
A young resident of my ward with special needs is currently facing tremendous difficulty in accessing the school bus that picks her up from her home on Arden Crescent due to illegal parking adjacent to her home. As a result of the family's various failed attempts to resolve this ongoing challenge on their own, I requested that city staff provide a long term sustainable solution that will allow this young student to access the school bus safely and without any extra burden.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Designated an accessible loading zone to be in effect at all times, on the east side of Arden Crescent, between a point 29 metres north of St. Clair Avenue East and a point 11 metres further north. 2. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Arden Crescent, between St. Clair Avenue East and Rockelm Road. 3.
