Compulsory Stop Control - Northridge Avenue and Judith Drive
Northridge Avenue and Judith Drive are two local roads located in a residential neighbourhood immediately south of O'Connor Drive. This intersection currently has a yield control in place. I have heard from residents who are concerned about traffic safety and have requested that the existing yield sign be changed to a stop sign. The installation of a stop sign at this intersection will improve traffic safety on Northridge Avenue and Judith Drive. I hope you will support this recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing yield control on Judith Drive at the intersection with Northridge Avenue. 2. Authorized a compulsory stop control for westbound traffic on Judith Drive at Northridge Avenue.

Goldenfield Brewery By-The-Glass Permit application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario
In January 2023, Toronto and East York Community Council approved a request from Goldenfield Brewery to obtain a Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sale licence, which would allow for a "sales by the glass" permit for their brewery at 71 Sunrise Avenue. In following up with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, Goldenfield Winery was informed that they must obtain a By-the-Glass Endorsement for their Manufacturer´s Limited Liquor Sales Licence. The issuance of this endorsement requires a confirmation from Toronto City Council that it has passed a resolution in support of the endorsement.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council support the Goldenfield application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a Manufacturer's Limited, a manufacturing licence and its inherent authority to retail to the public licence at its 71 Sunrise Avenue location.

Traffic Calming - Newman Avenue between Secord Avenue and Rosevear Avenue
Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about speeding along their street, and requested that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. My office polled the homes and there was strong support from the residents for making this change. I am requesting that speed humps be installed on Newman Avenue between Secord Avenue and Rosevear Avenue.

In 2019 City Council endorsed a plan about Toronto's Nighttime Economy. Due to the pandemic many of these initiatives were paused, but I expect they will be underway this term. While this is a city-wide strategy it is one that will primarily impact Toronto and East York communities. Liquor Licenses, patios, traffic and parking are all expected to be part of the Nighttime Economy Strategy. These issues are all routinely dealt with at TEYCC. Anticipating that a report may be coming in the near future I am hoping that TEYCC can be consulted on the elements of this initiative. I am hoping for your support for this recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to present to the February 23, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on development of the Nighttime Economy plan as it pertains to the duties of Community Council, including proposed contents, approval schedule, consultation plan, and any potential changes to existing by-laws.
