Dear Chair and Members, I am writing to you to request Community Council's support for a review and exclusion of the development at 26-40 Birch Avenue from the current permit parking program. The exclusion of the development located at 26-40 Birch Avenue from the program is a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space. The issuance of parking permits to residents of this development would negatively impact the already limited supply of parking spaces. My office has received a 16-household petition by the local working group of residents who have been working closely with the developer and my office on the development project itself. I am requesting approval from Community Council to prohibit the General Manager, Transportation Services, from accepting applications from residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at the subject development property. Residents have noted the difficulties they are already facing with finding parking close to home. It is clear that the street cannot take on any further parking pressures, as it is already over 85% capacity.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the realignment of Permit Parking on Birch Avenue to exclude the development located at 26-40 Birch Avenue.

I have often heard from constituents north of Danforth Avenue who are experiencing difficulty in finding permit parking near their homes. The need for improved parking options is based on the area's existing boundary alignments, which divide the available permit parking into small, restrictive areas. The current boundaries frequently require residents to travel further from their homes to park, even when nearby parking is available. Realigning the existing parking areas will reduce local boundaries while increasing both the pool of available spaces and the flexibility of parking options for residents. I am requesting to increase the capacity of the permit parking zone north of Danforth Avenue by consolidating the existing permit parking areas under a single, larger permit parking area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Consolidated current Permit Parking Areas 9A, 9F, 9G, 9H and 9J into one Permit Parking Area, that being Permit Parking Area 9A. 2. Amended Schedule B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, by deleting reference to Permit Parking Areas 9F, 9G, 9H, and 9J. 3. Deleted the Maps for Permit Parking Areas 9A, 9F, 9G, 9H, and 9J, and replace them Attachment 1, the Map for the revised Permit Parking Area 9A.

All-Way Stop Control - St. Helens Avenue and Lumbervale Avenue
I am requesting the support of the Toronto and East York Community Council with respect to safety issues raised by residents concerning the intersection at St. Helens Avenue and Lumbervale Drive. Residents of Lumbervale Drive have identified safety concerns at the intersection and my office had requested Transportation Services staff to review this issue. Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Transportation Services staff have not been able to undertake the review and therefore traffic counts to confirm a warrant could not be completed. In fall of 2020, the City is scheduled to install several Council-approved changes including a new traffic signal at College Street and Dundas Street West along with the reconfiguration of traffic flow on College Street north (changing from two way to one way westbound) and St. Helens Avenue (changing from one way southbound to one way northbound). Transportation Services staff, the community and my office support the installation of all-way stop signs at St. Helens Avenue and Lumbervale Avenue. This is an opportunity to improve safety in the St. Helens Avenue and Lumbervale Avenue area for people who walk, cycle and drive to access the adjacent schools, underground and surface parking lots, school bus passenger loading areas and Lumbervale Avenue homes. In order to provide a safer environment for local residents and the school community, I am presenting a motion to approve the installation of an all-way stop control at this intersection.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized an all-way stop control at the intersection of St. Helens Avenue and Lumbervale Avenue.

Parking Amendments - Abell Street
There are congestion issues in this neighbourhood which have been exacerbated by an existing "no-standing" regulation on the street. The "no-standing" zone has been misused and has resulted in obstructions for waste pick-up for businesses in the area. Transportation Services staff were asked to investigate what could be undertaken to reduce the number of parked vehicles on Abell Street that are contributing to this congestion. Following consultation with the community, it was determined that the most effective way to reduce congestion was to institute a change to "no-stopping." This will permit Parking Enforcement staff to better patrol the area and in so doing address the congestion issues.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on the west side of Abell Street, between Queen Street West and a point 20 metres south and between a point 26 metres south of Queen Street West and a point 24 metres further south.
