Avenue Road Study - Interim Update and Proposed Site-Specific Road Safety Improvements
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Avenue Road, City Council approval of this report is required. As directed by City Council in 2019, the Area Transportation Planning unit in Transportation Services initiated a study of the Avenue Road corridor between Bloor Street West and St. Clair Avenue West, focused on improving pedestrian safety. The study's two objectives are to develop a vision for the road that improves safety for all road users, and to identify near-term actions that can be taken to move toward the vision, in advance of full road reconstruction. Over the last four years, Transportation Services has made several changes to the roadway to improve road user safety and reduce motor vehicle speeding. This report provides an interim update on the Avenue Road Study and proposes site-specific safety improvements focused on the 280 metre segment between Davenport Road and Dupont Street, targeted for implementation beginning in 2024. A final Avenue Road Study report will be presented at a future Infrastructure and Environment Committee meeting to provide recommendations on the long-term vision, and near-term plan for the segment of Avenue Road between Dupont Street and St. Clair Avenue West. As part of this report, Transportation Services is continuing to utilize the streamlined reporting process for by-law amendment submissions associated with road safety projects approved by Council for implementation. Once projects are approved by Council, the streamlined process involves delegation of authority to submit bills directly to Council for a discreet period of time after project implementation which enables Transportation Services to make minor adjustments to constructed conditions without delay and based on local Councillor and public feedback such as parking adjustments to improve sight-lines, adjustments or addition of accessible loading areas, and similar modifications.

Parking Amendments - Harbour Street
EllisDon is constructing a 57-story non-residential development at 30 Bay Street and 60 Harbour Street. The existing heritage building is known as the Toronto Harbour Commission Building. The site is bound by an existing mixed-use building to the west, Harbour Street to the south, Bay Street to the east, and Lake Shore Boulevard West/Gardiner Expressway to the north. As part of the site plan application of this development, a lay-by is scheduled to be constructed in front of the property on Harbour Street to meet the market needs of Harbour Sixty, which allows for valet service. The lay-by will help facilitate pick-up/ drop-off demands, without impacting traffic flow on Harbour Street. The on-street parking regulation within the lay-by will need to be amended to a "No Standing Anytime" regulation. This will deter parking in this area but allow for the pick-up/drop-off of passengers only.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Deferred consideration of the Item until the July 10, 2024 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Marlborough Place - Speed Humps
Toronto and East York Community Council approved speed humps on Marlborough Avenue and Marlborough Place in 2014, per TE34.156 . Residents are now requesting an additional speed hump on Marlborough Place, between Macpherson Avenue and Marlborough Place (east-west section).

Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter sections of the roadway to install one (1) additional speed hump on Marlborough Place, close to its intersection with Macpherson Avenue, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on Attachment 1 to the letter (May 15, 2024) from Councillor Dianne Saxe.

Parking Regulations - Pearl Street, between Simcoe Street and John Street
On behalf of Mirvish Productions, in consultation with Transportation Services and the Toronto Downtown West BIA, I'm requesting that the parking regulations on Pearl Street (Simcoe Street to John Street) fronting the theatre's stage door, loading docks, and garbage bins be increased to deter parking. Motorists displaying accessible parking permits are parking in these areas and blocking access. As part of the parking amendment noted above, Transportation Services conducted a detailed on-street parking review on this section of Pearl Street. During their investigation, staff discovered various discrepancies between the traffic by-laws and posted parking regulations on this section of Pearl Street. The parking amendments noted in the table will address this matter. Transportation Services also recommends the addition of parking prohibitions fronting other driveways on this roadway and the designation of areas that will provide short-term parking for delivery vehicles to address this demand.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the parking regulations on Pearl Street, between Simcoe Street and John Street, as described in Attachment 1 to the letter (June 5, 2024) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.
