This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

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. Rescinded the existing stopping prohibition in effect at all times on both sides of Harbour Street, between Lower Simcoe Street and Yonge Street. 2. Prohibited stopping at all times on the north side of Harbour Street, between Lower Simcoe Street and a point 77 metres west of Bay Street. 3. Prohibited stopping at all times on the north side of Harbour Street, between a point 52 metres west of Bay Street and Yonge Street. 4. Prohibited stopping at all times on the south side of Harbour Street, between Lower Simcoe Street and Yonge Street. 5. Prohibited standing at all times on the north side of Harbour Street, between a point 52 metres west of Bay Street and a point 25 metres further west.

360 Bloor Street East - Pedestrian Safety Improvements
Crowded and confusing parking conditions around 360 Bloor Street East are creating safety hazards for vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians. For example, building residents with mobility disabilities report that their Wheel-Trans service often cannot stop at 350 Bloor Street East to pick them up or let them off, and must instead stop at nearby properties. They report that this severely compromises their ability to use the service. In addition, existing parking spaces obstruct sightlines for drivers entering and exiting the driveway, creating hazards for those walking or cycling past the building. Deliveries of all kinds are also hampered by the absence of a dedicated loading zone. This letter would reduce vehicle parking and convert space directly in front of the lobby into a badly needed Wheel-Trans accessible loading zone. This change is supported by the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, will improve access to WheelTrans, will reduce conflicts between delivery vehicles and general traffic, and will improve safety for pedestrians on the sidewalk and cyclists in the bike lane.
The Toronto and East York Community Council forwards the Item to City Council without recommendation.
