Ward Street - Parking Amendments
Ward Street, which extends from Wallace Avenue to Lappin Avenue, has homes located on the east side and a large office complex with boulevard parking on the west side. During alternate side parking days, residents on Ward Street are required to move their vehicles to the east side of the street, where there are significantly fewer spaces - resulting in difficulty locating parking spaces in the area. In a survey conducted by my office, a majority of residents supported the removal of alternate side parking and maintaining parking on the east side in front of homes.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition regulation in effect each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the east side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and Wallace Avenue. 2. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times from December 1 of one year to March 31 of the next following year, inclusive and anytime, except each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the west side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and a point 15 metres north of Wallace Avenue. 3. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the even (west) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to a point 15 meters north of Wallace Avenue. 4. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue. 5. Prohibited parking at all times on the west side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and a point 15 metres north of Wallace Avenue. 6. Authorized permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue.

King Street at Bathurst Street Taxi Stand Adjustment
The TTC, Transportation Services, Metrolinx, and Oretta (CaféTO patron) have worked together to apportion frontage on the south side of King Street West, immediately east of Bathurst Street for the following uses: - Ontario Line King-Bathurst Station Construction site: spanning from Bathurst intersection to 30 metres east of Bathurst Street - TTC eastbound stop: spanning from 30 metres east of Bathurst Street, to 60 metres east of Bathurst Street - Oretta CaféTO Patio: spanning from 55 metres east of Bathurst Street (approximately 5 metre overlap with the TTC stop), to 70 metres east of Bathurst Street - Reinstate Taxi Stand: spanning from 70 metres east of Bathurst Street, to 115 metres east of Bathurst Street The Oretta CaféTO space will overlap with the previous Taxi Stand, and existing signage by approximately 5 metres. The Taxi Stand will be reinstated once the temporary TTC streetcar stop is relocated closer to Bathurst Street. Therefore, the westerly signage delineating the former Taxi Stand space needs to be relocated 5 metres to the east, and the signage needs to be updated from "6 Taxis" permitted to "5 Taxis" permitted. The corresponding Taxi sign approximately 115 metres east of Bathurst Street shall remain in its existing location, but shall be updated to permit "5 Taxis".
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind the designated taxi stand for 6 taxis in effect at all times on the south side of King Street West, between a point 72.3 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 37.2 metres further east, from December 17, 2024 to November 30, 2029, inclusive. 2.

City Council amend the existing no stopping prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of King Street West, between a point 40.5 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 31.8 metres further east to be in effect between a point 40.5 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 37.3 metres further east, from December 17, 2024 to November 30, 2029, inclusive. 4. City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to submit directly to City Council at the appropriate time any necessary Bills to amend the appropriate City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapters, and any Schedules to the Chapters, to reinstate the traffic and parking regulations to what they were implemented prior to the By-law amendments.

Commercial Loading Zone - Jordan Street
As part of the TTC Easier Access Project, King Station is being equipped with three below grade elevators which will provide accessibility from the existing TTC platforms to the concourse level. The project is scheduled from January 2023 to June 2026. Construction is being undertaken in several phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and lane closures taking place on Melinda Street, Yonge Street and Colborne Street. These closures have reduced the number of loading/unloading spaces in the area which many businesses rely on for their day-to-day operations. As the downtown continues to recover from the pandemic, ensuring access to loading spaces will help support local business. This motion would authorize the installation of a temporary commercial loading zone on the east side of Jordan Street, north of Melinda Street, in order to accommodate local business needs for the duration of the remaining construction project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Jordan Street, between a point 34 metres south of King Street West and a point 9.5 metres further south. 2.

Directed that Jordan Street be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

I am writing to request support to skip petition and polling requirements under subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking in order to add spaces on Shuter Street between Parliament Street and Sumach Street. There are existing unsigned parking spaces on the south side of Sumach Street between Parliament and River Street, but only the portion between Sumach Street and River Street permit overnight permit parking. A local resident brought this discrepancy to the attention of my office, and upon review with City staff, Transportation Services were agreeable to review adding these existing parking spaces into the 7C permit area for overnight parking purposes. Adding these spaces in would provide a consistent parking condition across Shuter Street, as well as provide approximately 20 new overnight permit parking spaces to a permit parking area that is frequently waitlisted.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Shuter Street, between Parliament Street and Sackville Street, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as the Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.

Addressing Traffic Concerns on Austin Terrace

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to re-install a Traffic Control Personnel (TCP) at the intersection of Yonge Street and Heath Street West to assist safe pedestrian crossings. The Deer Park community continues to raise concern over the traffic flows at this intersection, especially given that caretakers and their children often use this intersection as a crossing to get to Deer Park Public School. Since the TCP's initial installation, our office has heard positive feedback from both school administration and parents about how the TCP makes caregivers and their children feel safer while crossing this busy intersection.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Manager, Active Traffic Management to install Traffic Control Personnel, in addition to the existing school crossing guard, to assist pedestrians crossing the road; Traffic Control Personnel shall be installed as soon as possible for a duration of one (1) month at the Yonge Street and Heath Street intersection Monday to Friday at 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
