Realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to Exclude the Developments Located at 100 and 130 River Street
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on River Street, City Council approval of this report is required. The purpose of this report is to respond to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to review and report back on the realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to exclude the developments located at 100 and 130 River Street. A companion report titled, "Introduction of New Overnight On-Street Permit Parking - Area 7L and Exclusion of Various Developments" to introduce the new permit parking area and exclude various developments on streets without TTC service. At the same time that the newly created Permit Parking area is established, Toronto and East York Community Council directed Transportation Services to exclude certain development addresses from the program to maximize limited on-street parking capacity, namely for tenants of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) buildings within Regent Park. Staff have determined the realignment of the Permit Parking - Area 7L is feasible and has no objections to excluding the developments located at 100 and 130 River Street. If City Council excludes the addresses from Permit Parking - Area 7L, residents and visitors of this address will be prohibited from participating in the on-street overnight permit parking program.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate a revised map of Permit Parking Area 7L, as shown in Attachment 1 to the report (November 18, 2024) from the Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services, excluding the development located at 100 and 130 River Street.

Introduction of New Overnight On-Street Permit Parking - Area 7L and Exclusion of Various Addresses
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is recommending that overnight on-street permit parking be introduced on an area basis (Area 7L), within the area bounded by: Gerrard Street East to the north, River Street to the east, Shuter Street to the south, and Parliament Street to the west. The Ward Councillor requested the implementation of overnight on-street permit parking in Regent Park to accommodate the long-term parking needs of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) residents. On June 26, 2024, City Council exempted the streets within Regent Park from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, therefore the subject streets within proposed Permit Parking - Area 7L were not subject to petition and polling requirements. This report also responds to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to exclude various addresses from the newly created Permit Parking Area 7L. A companion report, titled "Realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to Exclude the Developments Located at 100 and 130 River Street " recommends the exclusion of various addresses from Permit Parking - Area 7L, that are located on a street with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.

TE18.29amended
Pay-and-Display Parking - Berryman Street
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. At its meeting of October 24, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council requested Transportation Services to review and report back on whether to establish on-street paid parking on Berryman Street or to restrict Berryman Street to permit parking only. This report provides an update on the requested item. Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to review the proposal for paid parking on Berryman Street, including consideration for permit parking. Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Berryman Street to support the local community and encourage regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing one-hour parking regulation currently in effect. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will not impact the current parking restrictions or the existing day care pick-up/drop-off zone. The existing permit parking hours on the north side of Berryman Street will remain and can co-exist with the proposed on-street paid parking. Valid permit holders would not be subject to a parking fee where Permit Parking signs and on-street paid parking signs co-exist. Transportation Services, at the request of Solid Waste Management, is also seeking approval to prohibit stopping from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Berryman Street, opposite the driveway that services the parking lot of Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School. This prohibition will improve access/egress operations for sanitation trucks and buses using this lane. While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Berryman Street, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and TPA will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing one-hour parking limit in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the north side of Berryman Street, between Hazelton Avenue and a point 45.7 metres west of Davenport Road. 2.

Prohibited stopping from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday to Friday, on the north side of Berryman Street, between a point 122 metres west of Davenport Road and a point 23 metres further west, to facilitate garbage pickup. 4.

Traffic Calming and Parking Amendment - Dale Avenue
Several residents on Dale Avenue report frequent speeding on their street, endangering road users and impeding residents' ability to leave their driveways.

Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to the letter (November 12, 2024) from Councillor Dianne Saxe. 3.

Alberta Avenue - Road Safety Review
Alberta Avenue extends between two busy roads, St. Clair Avenue West to the north and Davenport Road to the south. The traffic on these streets has resulted in several traffic safety issues for residents living on Alberta Avenue and the surrounding streets. In meetings with my office, residents have shared their experiences with speeding vehicles and dangerous driving on this local street used by many neighbours to walk to school or connect to transit. Residents have requested improved traffic calming measures, but the grade level on Alberta Avenue has limited the ability to install additional speed humps. I am requesting Transportation Services complete a full review of further long-term improvements, including suggestions shared by residents, to resolve these safety issues.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to conduct a comprehensive road safety review of Alberta Avenue to improve traffic safety and that considers the following improvements: a. street directional changes to reduce cut-through traffic; b. local traffic-only signage at Alberta Avenue and Davenport Road; c. intersection safety improvements at Alberta Avenue and Davenport Road; d. additional heavy truck restrictions; e. rush-hour restrictions on Alberta Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West and Davenport Road; and f. additional traffic calming measures where feasible. 2.

Installation of Speed Humps on Rusholme Road, between Dundas Street West and College Street
Rusholme Road sits between two busy streets, Dundas Street West to the south and College Street to the north. Drivers often use Rusholme Road, which is designated as a local street, to avoid travelling through major intersections in the area. This increased reliance on Rusholme Road has resulted in growing traffic safety issues for residents, including speeding through stop signs, racing, and aggressive driving. As many young children live on and walk down Rusholme Road, residents have long advocated for immediate traffic safety improvements. In a neighbourhood survey conducted by my office, residents along this section of Rusholme Road voted in strong support of installing speed humps to reduce speeding and improve traffic safety.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Rusholme Road, between Dundas Street West and College Street. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway for the installation of six speed humps on Rusholme Road, between Dundas Street West and College Street, generally as shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to the letter (November 28, 2024) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo.

Installation of Speed Humps on Westport Avenue, between Old Weston Road and the public lane east of Old Weston Road and south of Davenport Road
For several years, residents on Westport Avenue have advocated for the installation of traffic calming measures on their street and the nearby public laneway. Drivers intent on avoiding traffic at Davenport Road and Old Weston Road cut through Westport Avenue through the laneway, often at dangerous speeds. Numerous close incidents resulted in residents on Westport Avenue overwhelmingly supporting the installation of speed humps and speed bumps in the neighbourhood to reduce speeding. The installation of a speed hump on Westport Avenue will connect with the proposed speed bumps set to be installed in the connecting laneway to create a safer neighbourhood for all.

Harrison Street - Parking Amendments
A pick-up and drop-off area was installed on Harrison Street to provide short-term parking for parents of children attending the daycare at Harrison Street and Ossington Avenue. Earlier this year, the daycare closed, and the property was later listed for sale. Transportation Services determined there is no longer a need for a short-term parking zone on Harrison Street and has recommended its removal. The spaces will be converted to permit parking for residents and visitors in the area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing 15 minute maximum parking regulation in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, public holidays excepted, on the north side of Harrison Street, between Ossington Avenue and a point 56.4 metres west. 2.

McRoberts Avenue - Road Safety Review
In 2022, residents living along McRoberts Avenue, south of Rogers Road, participated in a traffic safety survey following years of community concerns. The results of that review determined that a majority of McRoberts Avenue residents feel unsafe as a result of dangerous driving and speeding on their street. Drivers routinely use McRoberts Avenue - which is designated as a local street - to avoid traffic on St. Clair Avenue West and Caledonia Road. As part of this neighbourhood traffic survey, residents shared feedback and proposed solutions to issues in the area. As such, I am requesting that Transportation Services conduct a comprehensive road safety review and consider the feedback provided by residents in shaping the design of traffic safety improvements in the neighbourhood.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to conduct a comprehensive road safety review of McRoberts Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Rogers Road, that considers the following improvements: a. directional changes to reduce cut-through traffic while maintaining access for local residents; b. local-only traffic signage; c. rush-hour turn restrictions on McRoberts Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West and Rogers Road; and d. additional traffic calming measures where feasible. 2. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the findings of the McRoberts Avenue Traffic Survey, as outlined in Attachment 1 to the letter (November 25, 2024) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo, in guiding proposed safety improvements. 3. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council by May 1, 2025, with proposed improvements to reduce cut-through traffic and improve neighbourhood safety.
