The full agenda, as filed
All 60 items in the clerk’s order. Each carries the city’s own words: the staff recommendation, what the body decided, and its status. Nothing below is written by us.
TE19.1adopted
This application proposes to construct a 6-storey, 192-bed long-term care addition to the University Health Network's (UHN) existing four-storey Lakeside Long-term Care Centre at 150 Dunn Avenue, and secure the rental tenure of all existing rental dwelling units located at 74 and 82 Dunn Avenue, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Close Avenue and 74 and 78 Springhurst Avenue. The UHN owns the majority of properties in the block bounded by King Street West, Close Avenue, Dunn Avenue and Springhurst Avenue. The properties are developed with both institutional and house-form buildings, including the EW Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care, the existing Lakeside Long-term Care Centre, and the Sunflower House Child Care Centre fronting onto Dunn Avenue. UHN has indicated their intention to continue with institutional uses on these 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue properties for the foreseeable future. UHN has also indicated their intention to continue residential use on the house-form buildings fronting onto Close, Dunn and Springhurst Avenues. The original Zoning By-law Application proposed an O-shaped addition to the long-term care facility, inclusive of one level of underground parking, and comprised the lands at 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue. The UHN has revised their application, now proposing a C-shaped building with a south-facing courtyard, and removal of the underground parking. The revised proposal represents a scale of development that is appropriate for the neighbourhood, fits in with the built form character of various building types and heights within the surrounding area, and serves to create much needed additional long-term care service in the city. The revised proposal now includes all 17 properties within the block bounded by Dunn Avenue, Close Avenue, Springhurst Avenue, and King Street West. The revision of the application to include all UHN's properties is for the purpose of securing the rental tenure of all existing rental dwelling units contained within the buildings owned and operated by UHN in a Section 37 Agreement to be registered on title to the UHN lands. This proposal supports the City's objective of preserving affordable rental housing. This report is related to a separate report being prepared by the Housing Secretariat that is scheduled to be submitted to the October 20th Planning and Housing Committee meeting, and then considered at the October meeting of City Council. The Housing Secretariat report will set out a proposed framework for a City / UHN partnership to protect the existing residential uses on the UHN lands, and create new supportive housing opportunities as part of a larger future redevelopment of the lands. The first phase of that work is proposed to be a visioning and master planning exercise of the UHN lands in consultation with the local Councillor and community. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86, as amended for the lands at 74, 82, 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue, 74 and 78 Springhurst Avenue, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Close Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (September 21, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required. 5.

For clarity, such rental dwelling units that have been demolished or deemed uninhabitable were previously located at 1, 3 and 17 Close Avenue; e. Prior to final Site Plan Approval for the addition to the long-term care facility, the owner shall provide a Construction Mitigation and Tenant Communication Strategy and, thereafter, the owner shall implement such strategy; and f. Prior to issuance of any below grade permit, require the owner to submit a construction management plan to the satisfaction of the Manager, Transportation Services and the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, and thereafter shall implement the plan during the course of construction.

60 Mill Street - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Request for Direction Report
The purpose of this report is to request direction from City Council on the pending Local Planning Appeal Tribunal ("LPAT") hearing on the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the property at 60 Mill Street to permit a 31-storey building with a height of 115.1 metres, containing 392 hotel suites resulting in 26,944 square metres of non-residential gross floor area and 80 vehicular parking spaces within a 5-level underground garage. The existing Rack House D building, a heritage property designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and subject to a Heritage Easement Agreement, is proposed to be altered and incorporated as part of the development. Following a review of the application, staff have concluded that the proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). Staff have also concluded the proposed development does not conform to the policy direction of the Official Plan and King-Parliament Secondary Plan. The proposal represents overdevelopment, does not respond appropriately to its existing and planned context and does not meet the city-wide Tall Building guidelines.

City Council authorize City staff to continue discussions with the applicant on a revised proposal, including a settlement at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, which addresses the issues set out in the report (September 21, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 3. In the event the Local Planning Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Order approving the Zoning By-law amendment until: a. The owner has provided draft by-laws in a form and with content satisfactory to the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor; b.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report also recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 80 and 84 Queen's Park, in connection with a Zoning Amendment Application by the University of Toronto (UofT) to permit the construction of a new 9-storey institutional building for the University's Centre for Civilizations, Cultures and Cities ("CCC") at 78-90 Queen's Park. The new building would be situated in the interstitial space between Falconer Hall and the Edward Johnson Building. It would be integrated into the back of Falconer Hall with a link to the Edward Johnson Building. The conservation strategy for the heritage properties proposes to retain both the Edward Johnson Building at 80 Queen's Park and Falconer Hall at 84 Queen's Park but the McLaughlin Planetarium at 90 Queen's Park would be demolished. The proposed new 43m high building (including mechanical penthouse) would not affect any of the protected views of Queen's Park and it is setback approximately 36 metres from the Queen's Park frontage in order to lessen its visual impact on this important avenue that links Bloor Street to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The removal of McLaughlin Planetarium allows for improvements to the open space between Falconer Hall and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) which would enhance the views of its south entrance. In conjunction with the project, there would also be considerable enhancements to the public realm at the Queen's Park frontage and between the buildings. This report includes a detailed assessment of the heritage values and attributes of the subject property (see pages 12-30); a description of the proposed development and its impact on the heritage properties on the subject property (see pages 7-9); an analysis of the impact of the proposed changes to the heritage properties on the subject lands and on the adjacent properties in relation to the City's Official Plan policies (pages 31-6) and staff recommendations with respect to this proposal (pages 2-5). Statements of Significance for the properties recommended for Part IV designation under the Ontario Heritage Act are included in Attachments 4 and 5.

Alterations to a Property Designated Under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act - 32 Rowanwood Avenue
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the heritage building, known as the Rosecourt Apartments, at 32 Rowanwood Avenue under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act. This building was constructed in 1912-1913 and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District (SRHCD). It is noted as a Category "C" building within SRHCD Study. Category "C" buildings have "contextual significance, which contribute to the heritage character of South Rosedale…" Prior to refurbishment works commencing on site this building contained nine rental apartment units. The proposal involves extensive alterations and a roof addition to increase the usable floor space within the building and add five new rental residential units. The alterations include: a fourth-storey addition; replacement of windows to match original windows; alterations to some original openings; introduction of new openings facing Rowanwood Avenue and the replacement of existing balconies and railings facing Rowanwood Avenue. Heritage Planning has worked with the applicant to ensure that the proposed alterations meet the general intent of the SRHCD Study's guidelines and will not have a negative impact on the existing heritage building and existing context within the SRHCD. The applicant still needs to apply for approval under the Planning Act (minor variance and site plan approval) and therefore this application relates solely to the approval that is required under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Designation of a Property on the Heritage Register - 155 Wychwood Avenue
On June 8, 2020 the owners of 155 Wychwood Avenue submitted a planning application to construct an 8-storey mixed-use building. The development requires demolition of the former Wychwood-Davenport Presbyterian Church. The church, constructed in 1937, is a representative example of an early 20th-century religious building designed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is historically linked to the development of the Wychwood neighbourhood and stands as a local landmark anchoring the northeast corner of St. Clair Avenue West and Wychwood Avenue, where it forms an institutional enclave with neighbouring church complexes. The property was added to the City's Heritage Register by City Council at its meeting of January 29 and 30, 2008. In conjunction with the planning application, the owner served the City with a Notice of Intention to Demolish a Listed Property. Under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act, a property owner must give City Council a 60 day notice of the intention to demolish any building or structure on a property that is included on the City's Heritage Register. Once 60 days has expired the owner can receive a demolition permit if City Council has not designated the property and all other Ontario Building Code requirements have been fulfilled. Although the notice to demolish the former church was received in June 2020, timelines under the Ontario Heritage Act were temporarily suspended as a consequence of the March 2020 provincial Declaration of Emergency related to the COVID-19 crisis. Statutory timelines are intended to commence after September 11, 2020. Therefore, in order to prevent the demolition of the listed church, City Council must issue a Notice of Intention to Designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act by November 10, 2020. This report recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning to prepare a Statement of Significance for the October 27-28, 2020 meeting of City Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Deferred consideration of the item until the December 2, 2020 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.
Staff recommendation as filed
The Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning recommends that: 1. That Toronto and East York Community Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, City Planning, to report directly to City Council at its meeting of October 27 and 28, 2020 on the Intention to Designate 155 Wychwood Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, including an updated Statement of Significance and Heritage Attributes.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws. Minto Communities is constructing a 14-storey condominium building with ground floor retail at 502 Adelaide Street West and 119-123 Portland Street. The site is located on the northeast corner of Adelaide Street West and Portland Street. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the east sidewalk on Portland Street, between Adelaide Street West and a point 32 metres north, for a period of 26 months (i.e., September 17, 2020 to October 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. Pedestrian movements on the east side of Portland Street, abutting the site, will be restricted and pedestrians will be directed to the west-side sidewalk of Portland Street. Traffic lanes for both directions on Portland Street and pedestrian operations on the west side of Portland Street will be maintained in their current configuration. The installation of the construction staging area will result in the loss of approximately four parking machine/permit parking spaces on the east side of Portland Street, abutting and immediately north of the site. Vehicle and bicycle operations, including the existing parking on Adelaide Street West, will be maintained in their current configuration. Pedestrian operations on the north side of Adelaide Street West, abutting the site, will be maintained on the existing sidewalk, in a covered and protected walkway.

My office received requests from the residents of Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Dufferin Park Avenue, regarding the extension of the permit parking operating hours to deter non-resident vehicles from parking all day. Residents report that non-residents park their vehicles on Gladstone Avenue and take the TTC from Dufferin Station. This inundates the neighbourhood street with additional vehicles and impacts permit holders' ability to find a space. By extending the overnight on-street permit parking hours, we are aiming to facilitate improved parking availability and flexibility for area residents. My office polled residents on the street and found that a majority support this change. For these reasons, I am moving the recommendation below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect 12:01 a.m.to 7:00 a.m. daily from the 16th day to the last day of each month from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the odd (east) side of Gladstone Avenue, between Dufferin Park Avenue and a point 34 metres south of Bloor Street West. 2.

Construction Coordination Hub for the St. Clair Avenue West and Winona Drive Area
Dear Chair and Members, We are writing today to request your assistance with a problem facing the residents in the St. Clair Avenue West and Winona Drive area, which spans both of our wards. Many of our neighbourhoods have experienced intense growth in the past few years, and the area around St. Clair Avenue West and Winona Drive has become a particularly intense locus of construction in the coming months and years. There are four development projects at the intersection of St. Clair Avenue West and Winona Drive. Some of them have already started construction, such as 840 St. Clair Avenue West, 861-863 St. Clair Avenue West and 900 St. Clair Avenue West, while others are still in planning stages. The concern that we want to highlight here, which is shared by many residents who have reached out to our offices, is the cumulative impact that this work will have on the overall safety of our residents. The construction staging with right-of-way occupations, construction noise, heavy trucks coming in and out of the sites and using local residential streets all have a large impact on the wellbeing and safety of the community. Our offices have already been involved with several issues relating to construction in the area, and there are fears that the current way the work zone is being coordinated is not as good as it could be. Considering the experience with the Yonge-Eglinton Construction Coordination Hub Pilot and the positive impact it has had on safety in the area, we request Transportation Services to investigate the option of taking the hub approach to this area. We are aware of a current review of the Yonge-Eglinton pilot and that there may be other locations across the city that could benefit from the best practices. We want to make sure that this area is given due consideration and that we get a report back from staff in early 2021 about this request to improve safety for our community.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back in the first quarter of 2021 on the option of designating the St. Clair Avenue West and Winona Drive area as a Construction Coordination Hub, including but not limited to reporting back on which construction management measures from the existing Yonge-Eglinton Hub can be applied here.

64 Oxford St - Encroachment Agreement
The Urban Herbivore at 64 Oxford St opened in May 2005 as a vegan food shop, and shortly afterwards, built an enclosure as an addition to the building through a Marketing Enclosure permit. In the fall of 2019, they received notice the City was updating the boulevard licencing system. After signing a Marketing Display agreement, Municipal Licencing and Standards informed the owner that the structure is actually a permanent extension to the address and would not be eligible for a Marketing Display renewal in October 2020. Enclosures and build-outs on small businesses in Kensington are integral to its character and built form, and were identified as a heritage attribute in the City's Kensington Market Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study. As the preparation of the HCD Plan is still in progress, an encroachment agreement is needed in order to legally maintain and preserve this structure.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with the property owner at 64 Oxford Street to maintain encroachments in the municipal boulevard abutting the Augusta Road flank of the property.

Avenue Road Pedestrian Safety Improvement Pilot Project
We are writing to Community Council to support us in our goal of improving pedestrian safety on Avenue Road between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West, through the implementation of a pilot project. We had brought forward items regarding pedestrian safety on this stretch of Avenue Road several times to Community Council, yet little has changed on the ground. Improvements are long overdue, and many in our communities are frustrated about the lack of practical advancements, even after years of working with City staff on solutions. Based on our 2019 motion, Transportation Services have committed to a comprehensive study of the area (Avenue Road Feasibility Study), but that has been delayed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is now more important than ever that we recognize the need for safer pedestrian infrastructure on Avenue Road, especially with social distancing requirements that simply cannot be met in the current arrangement of the street. We have been closely working with the Avenue Road Safety Coalition (ARSC) on these concerns for over two years, and they have requested that the City does two things on a pilot basis: lower the speed limit to 40 km/h and widen the sidewalks between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West. While staff had advised against such changes as part of the ActiveTO Program in our last meeting with Transportation Service and ARSC several months ago, we want to see if the existing Avenue Road Feasibility Study can incorporate these changes on a trial basis. Rather than relying solely on modelling and theory, the pilot would allow for staff to see how some of these changes would work on the ground, what is successful, and what needs to be corrected. Rather than a detractor to the existing study, the pilot could enrich it and provide additional insights that modelling alone would not be able to do.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council in the fourth quarter of 2020 or as soon as possible, on the feasibility of a pedestrian safety improvement pilot project on Avenue Road between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West, which would include but not be limited to: a. lowering the speed limit to 40 km/h; b. occupying curb lanes on both sides of Avenue Road and dedicating them for pedestrian use by separating them from live traffic with sturdy barriers and providing ramp access to existing sidewalks; c. regularly monitoring and adjusting the setup as needed; d. providing clear timelines and identifying any potential issues that would need to be addressed in order to go ahead with pilot implementation; and e. including findings as part of the Avenue Road Feasibility Study.

Request to Re-open Item TE18.70- Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Spruce Street
At its meeting on September 16, 2020, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted Item TE18.70, entitled "Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Spruce Street". Transportation Services staff reviewed the need for the installation of additional speed humps on Spruce Street, between Parliament Street and Sackville Street, to address residents' concerns regarding vehicle speeds. Their assessment indicated it is feasible to install two additional speed humps on this section of Spruce Street, and recommended their installation. Community Council authorized the installation of two additional speed humps on Spruce Street, between Parliament Street and Sackville Street. In order to process this approval, formally waiving the petition and polling requirements is also required. As such the item requires re-opening and waiving of the poll requirements.

Installing an All-way Stop Control - Mutual Street and Alexander Street
The school administration and parents of children attending Church Street Junior Public School, located to the east of Church Street between Wood Street and Alexander Street, have observed serious safety risks with vehicles speeding and threatening pedestrian safety leading up to the school's entrance for the daycare and kindergarten students off of Mutual Street just south of Alexander Street. They have contacted me to request that speed mitigation measures be implemented to enhance safety in their residential community. Toronto is committed to achieving pedestrian and road safety through initiatives like Vision Zero. In order to achieve this vision of a safe, walkable city, in 2019 this committee authorized Transportation Services to install an all-way stop at the intersection of Mutual Street and Wood Street, however additional measures are being requested to slow traffic down before they reach the school's Mutual Street entrance and maintain a slow speed as they approach Wood Street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council:: 1. Authorized the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to install an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Mutual Street and Alexander Street.

Parking Amendments - Market Street
In response to COVID-19 and the temporary closure of indoor dining, the City moved quickly to permit temporary sidewalk café and curb lane café patios on the City's right-of-way for eligible restaurants to allow these business to recover some expenses lost over the pandemic. Some restaurants were not eligible for CafeTO, but worked with Transportation Services and business improvement areas (BIAs) to find solutions to give them the best chance to get through COVID-19. Several years ago, Market Street in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood was redesigned to become a curbless, flexible boulevard. During the winter, pay-and-display parking is introduced, while in the summer the parking is removed and bollards provided to create a more attractive streetscape that can be more easily closed for events. The St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA has been working with stakeholders on Market Street to provide patio space on the city's right-of-way, similar to what has been provided through CafeTO. Due to the operations on Market Street, it was not eligible for use with CafeTO, but Transportation Services has worked diligently with the BIA to accommodate curb lane patios here for the benefit of the restaurants. Market Street is set to revert back to pay-and-display parking on October 15 which will prevent patios from continuing to operate. The St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA has asked on behalf of these restaurants and with their blessing, to allow for the current and future extension of these patios until November 15. Green P parking staff are agreeable to the loss of these pay-and-display spots. Transportation Services have agreed to permit this extension as long as the restaurants or BIA is responsible for clearing snow in the patio encroachment should any fall ahead of November 15. The adoption of these recommendations will assist Market Street restaurants, especially as the province has moved to restrict indoor dining as part of the ongoing response to COVID-19.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the stopping prohibition in effect at all times from April 1 to October 15, inclusive, to be in effect at all times from April 1 to November 15, inclusive, on the west side of Market Street, between The Esplanade and Front Street East. 2. Amended the parking machines regulation on the west side of Market Street, between The Esplanade and Front Street East, in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, from October 16 of one year to March 31 of the next following year, inclusive, to be in effect from November 16 of one year to March 31 of the next following year, inclusive, for a maximum period of three hours at a rate of $4.00 per hour. 3. Rescinded the stopping prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Market Street, between a point 55.1 metres south of Front Street East and a point 18.3 metres further south.

Parking Amendments - Wellington Street East
At its December 13, 2016 meeting, City Council adopted Item TE20.44 entitled "Road Alterations - Wellington Street East, Church Street, and Front Street Intersection" and approved parking amendments on the north side of Wellington Street East, between Yonge Street and Church Street, as part of the Wellington Street Revitalization project. This streetscape project has unfortunately seen multiple delays but is planned to begin in 2021. At its November 7, 2017 meeting, City Council adopted Item TE27.97 entitled "Parking Regulations - Wellington Street East" and approved the temporary amendments to parking regulations until as such time as the proposed streetscape improvements are completed, on the north side of Wellington Street East, between Yonge Street and Church Street, in order to allow parking machines operating during the utility work before the construction of streetscape improvements. The intent was to allow for some revenue to be generated while the utility work was proceeding. The parking meters and signage were later removed by Toronto Hydro and not reinstated. As a result there is no clarity on the regulations and no means to enforce the temporary parking amendments. Transportation Services has received a request from St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Business Improvement Area (BIA) to reinstate the parking regulations on the north side of this section of Wellington Street East between Yonge Street and Church Street as previously passed by Council in 2016. In an effort to support Wellington Street East restaurants who have been hit with the dual disruptions of utility work and a pandemic, the BIA received permission to "paint out" the future streetscape on the north side that was approved by City Council. This has allowed for both the extension of CafeTO patios as well as providing wider pedestrian space to physically distance, create some colourful whimsy as well as helping improve intersection safety concerns at the Church Street intersection. With the utility work set to be completed this year and streetscape construction occurring next year, reverting the parking regulations would allow the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA's work to remain unimpeded by traffic and help normalize the future operation of Wellington Street East. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Wellington Street East, City Council approval of this report is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the amendments to parking regulations on Wellington Street East, between Yonge Street and Church Street, as described in Attachment 1: Parking Amendments - Wellington Street East attached to the Letter (October 14, 2020) from Councillor Wong-Tam.

Traffic Regulations - Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East
At its July 16, 2020's meeting, Toronto and East York adopted Item TE16.73 and directed the General Manager of Transportation Services to work with staff from the Sumach-Chartwell on the creation and costing of a lay-by at the front entrance of 146 Sumach Street and to install signage that indicates a clear pick-up and drop-off area by the end of Q4 2020. Transportation Services, in consultation with Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam and staff at the Sumach-Chartwell Retirement Residence (146 Sumach Street), propose an accessible loading zone to operate at all times on the west side of Sumach Street fronting the entrance of this residence for approximately three vehicles. In order to deter parking in this area and ensure that passenger loading activity is conducted safely, an accessible loading zone is recommended. The installation of this loading zone will result in the loss of three on-street parking spaces. An accessible loading zone can be used by any vehicle displaying a valid "Accessible Parking Permit" while actively engaged in the pick-up or drop-off of a person with accessibility requirements. The adoption of these recommendations will also by-law other traffic and parking regulations on this section of Sumach Street as follows: - All-way stop control at the intersection of Sumach Street and St. David Street. - Stopping to be prohibited at all times on the east side of Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East. - A 30km/h speed limit on Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Designated an accessible loading zone to operate at all times on the west side of Sumach Street, between a point 62 metres north of Shuter Street and a point 16.5 metres further north. 2. Prohibited stopping at all times on the east side of Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East. 3. Designated a 30 km/h maximum speed limit on Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East. 4.

Westbound Left Turn Prohibition - 70-72 Carlton Street
A mixed-use development consisting of a 37 storey residential condominium building has been constructed by Tribute Communities at the municipal addresses of 70 - 72 Carlton Street and 403 Church Street. The site is bounded by a future residential development (411 Church Street) to the north, existing residential uses to the east, Carlton Street to the south and Church Street to the west. As a condition of the Site Plan Agreement (Site Plan Application 13 135070 STE 27 SA), the developer is required in advance of the anticipated date of first occupancy of the project, to enact bylaws with respect to the proposed westbound left-turn prohibition at the driveway access on 70-72 Carlton Street. The intent of this prohibition is to improve operations and safety by eliminating westbound left turns onto Carlton Street, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and have motorists exit this location with a right-turn movement.

Traffic Calming - Speed Humps - Chester Hill Road
Dear Chair and Members of Toronto and East York Community Council, It was brought to my attention that an internal review of Toronto and East York Community Council adopted item TE16.48 noted the oversight of early resident feedback. This resulted in inconsistency between the adopted location plan for speed humps on Chester Hill Road (Drawing No. 421G-3809, dated March 2020) and resident concerns. To address to this, the speed hump location plan was revised and the corrected version is attached. The adoption of this motion will enable the amendment of the approved location plan to address resident concern.

Implementation of Permit Parking on Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Road and Dundas Street East
I have heard from constituents of Coxwell Avenue from Eastwood Road and Dundas Street East who are experiencing difficulty parking outside of their homes overnight. I am requesting to implement legal on-street permit parking in this area by expanding the existing 9C zone to include the above noted section of Coxwell Avenue. Implementing this change would allow residents in the area to apply for a permit parking sticker and park legally overnight. The proposed change will not affect daytime stopping conditions along the east side of the street. While permit holders will be able to park beyond the 1HR currently in place for 9:00am-4:00pm on weekdays, the No Stopping during the 4:00-6:00pm rush hour will remain the same. This update will also allow all 9C permit holders to access the proposed parking spots overnight. Due to ongoing COVID-19 response, the City's Polling Unit continues to experience delays and a significant backlog. This motion exempts the implementation from the polling requirement based on outreach that has been conducted with residents on the street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of Permit Parking on Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Drive and Dundas Street East from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of Permit Parking at this location.

Recently community members were told that Metrolinx has applied for permits for different types of work on City land. However residents have been unable to get additional details from Metrolinx. This has caused concern in the community as there have been other instances where the community has been surprised by Metrolinx work in the local neighbourhood. City Staff identified this issue in TE 13.27 Metrolinx Ontario Line - Right-of-way Permit Process and Requirements. I have heard from residents who are asking to be kept in the loop. I am hoping that you support my motion to ensure that the community is properly consulted.
