This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. RDH Architects Inc has undertaken the construction of a 4-storey University of Toronto student residence at 15 Devonshire Place. In addition, Pomerleau has been retained as the construction manager to construct a new University of Toronto building at 100 Devonshire Place. Both sites are located on Devonshire Place, between Bloor Street West and Hosking Avenue. 15 Devonshire Place (Time Extension and Revisions) At its meeting on January 6, 2022, Toronto and East York Community Council approved the closure of the east sidewalk and a portion of the northbound curb lane from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024. As such, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to closure the northbound curb traffic lane on Devonshire Place for a period of 14 months from April 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025 to accommodate construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Devonshire Place will be maintained in a 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed northbound lane. It should be noted that at the time of the original approval, the developer indicated they would be able to maintain two-way, north-south traffic operation on Devonshire Place. Since then, the developer determined that a larger space would be required in order to proceed with the construction.

Consequently, Devonshire Place, between Bloor Street West and Hoskins Avenue will be temporarily converted to a southbound one-way traffic operation. 100 Devonshire Place Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the west sidewalk, and the southbound traffic lane on Devonshire Place for a period of 32 months, from April 30, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations.

To provide the extra space needed to facilitate construction staging operations and maintain safe and efficient movement of traffic in the vicinity of the work areas at 15 and 100 Devonshire Place, Devonshire Place will be converted to one-way southbound traffic operations between Bloor Street West and Hoskin Avenue.

Ambassador Pizza (946 Bloor Street West) - Exemption of Polling Requirements under Chapter 742
Ambassador Pizza, located at 946 Bloor Street West, opened shop as a small pizza pick-up location in our Bloorcourt Village area in early 2021. Ambassador Pizza's success and strong local support resulted in their expansion to the connecting property with investments in beautifying an existing sidewalk café patio, which has been in place since 2014. Since its opening and expansion, Ambassador Pizza has contributed significantly to the vibrancy and growth of the area. They have served as an important partner in providing free meals to agencies and groups servicing unhoused residents - speaking to their commitment to the wider community. Ambassador Pizza received notice in late 2023 that the sidewalk patio they inherited that same year was not permitted. The owners have actively worked with City staff and my office to secure the proper permits to operate, including by removing structures not in compliance with patio rules. Given the circumstances of this unique challenge and Ambassador Pizza's continued cooperation, it is vital we support this local business as patio season nears.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. When Ambassador Pizza applies for a sidewalk café permit for the 2024 summer café season in relation to the establishment at 946 Bloor Street West, City Council exempt that application from the notice requirements in section 742-2.3 and the objection provisions in sections 742-3.2A(2) and 742-4.3B(2) in City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafes, Parklets and Marketing Displays.

Establishing a Community Safety Zone on Blake Street
Blake Street, between Strathcona Avenue and Boultbee Avenue, is a residential street with two schools, a community centre and near each other. The residents who live on Blake Street are concerned about the volume of traffic and speeding along their residential street. Many children and parents utilize it often to either travel north to Earl Grey Senior Public or south to Blake Street Junior Public School. Additionally, I hope you support my recommendation to move the Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) from Strathcona west of Blake Street, to a location on Blake Street once it is designated as a Community Safety Zone. The implementation of a community safety zone and installation of an ASE will help improve traffic and pedestrian safety on Blake Street. I hope you will support my recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council designate a Community Safety Zone in effect at all times, on both sides of Blake Street, between Strathcona Avenue and Boultbee Avenue. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider moving the Automated Speed Camera from Strathcona west of Blake Street to a location on Blake Street, or for Blake Street to be added to the next round of Automated Speed Enforcement locations.
