New Pedestrian Bridge connection for Sick Kids Hospital - 175 Elizabeth Street
The purpose of this staff report is to seek Community Council approval about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services has assessed a request from The Hospital For Sick Children (the "Owner") to replace a recently demolished bridge that was connected to the recently demolished Elizabeth McMaster Building with a new, larger bridge to be situated over the City-owned public highway known as Elizabeth Street (the "Right of Way"). The new overhead pedestrian bridge will provide pedestrian access between Sick Kids Hospital, located at 555 University Avenue, and the new Patient Care Centre, located at 175 Elizabeth Street (collectively, the "Buildings").

I am writing to request your support in reopening Item TE12.47, adopted by the Toronto and East York Community Council on January 8, 2020, and to rescind the authority for the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of Poplar Plains Road and Clarendon Avenue (north intersection). The South Hill Residents Association, who reached out to my office requesting the all-way stop control, have subsequently explained that the request was misunderstood, and the intention was not to have two all-way stop controls only 35 meters apart from each other-as there is an existing all-way control stop at the south intersection of Poplar Plains Road and Clarendon. The Association's request was to have the all-way stop control at the south intersection moved further north. Having both controls creates redundancy and will negatively impact a number of neighbours as traffic flow will be impeded, and driveways blocked. There has been a huge uproar from residents after hearing about the proposed installation of the all-way stop control at the north intersection, and the Association has conceded that there wasn't enough community consultation. The Association and residents are thus calling for this to be rescinded to allow for further consultations.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened Item TE12.47, entitled "All-Way Stop Control - Poplar Plains Road and Clarendon Avenue - North Intersection". 2. Rescinded its previous decision on Item TE12.47 and adopted the following: "1. Not authorize all-way stop control at the intersection of Poplar Plains Road and Clarendon Avenue (north intersection)."

Speed Limit Reduction - Glenlake Avenue
This item 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. Glenlake Avenue, between Dundas Street West and Glendonwynne Avenue, is generally a two lane roadway, with one lane in each direction and parking on one side of the roadway. This entire section of Glenlake Avenue is very similar in terms of roadway and sidewalks characteristics between Dundas Street West and Glendonwynne Avenue. The speed limit on Glenlake Avenue, between Glendonwynne Avenue and Keele Street, is 30 km/h, while between Keele Street and Dundas Street West, it is 40 km/h. In order to have a consistent speed limit and to improve the environment for all road users the speed limit on Glenlake Avenue, between Keele Street and Dundas Street West, should be reduced from 40 km/h to 30 km/h.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Glenlake Avenue, between Keele Street and Dundas Street West.

Comprehensive Neighbourhood Streets Plan - Wallace Emerson Area
I am writing to seek your support on this request for a comprehensive plan for neighbourhood streets in the Wallace Emerson Area - bounded by Dufferin Avenue, Dupont Street, Lansdowne Avenue and Croatia Street. Last year a group of residents formed the Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee, and along with my office and the support of the City's Traffic Operations staff, the Committee prepared and presented a traffic plan for their neighbourhood including the introduction of traffic calming measures. Following a review of a variety of proposals, they presented changes they would like to see such as staggered parking, installation of planters, speed bumps, speed humps, painted stop bars, pedestrian crossing lines, and changes in road direction. The resulting Traffic Management Plan for the Wallace-Emerson Area was endorsed in principle by Toronto and East York Community Council on March 12, 2020 (2020.TE14.46) Since that Community Council decision, several factors have added new complexity to the area: With the implementation of the Bloor Bike Lanes, further restrictions were imposed on Bloor Street West, prohibiting motorists from making turns, causing traffic to re-direct to residential streets. The Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee has indicated they would like to implement a No Left Turn prohibition on Dufferin Street at Wallace Avenue, and a No-Through Traffic Sign on Wallace Avenue at Lansdowne Avenue, both to be in effect during peak hours. These changes have encountered some concerns, especially from residents on Lappin Avenue, which would likely assume traffic volumes if these restrictions are implemented. Adding to the situations described above, there are two schools at Wallace Avenue - St. Sebastian Elementary School and Pauline Jr Public School, which brings children, school buses and families to an already highly congested area. It has been brought to my attention that motorists take a long time to access Dufferin Street from Wallace Avenue travelling northbound, creating a long traffic line on a residential street and making this intersection more unsafe. Finally, the work currently under way to study the priority bus-only lanes on Dufferin St. and the two new major developments in the area (Bloor-Dufferin/Galleria Mall) must be considered. My office has also been receiving a myriad of requests to add contra flow bike lanes in the Wallace Emerson area Each of these factors contributes to the need for a comprehensive plan for the streets in the Wallace-Emerson neighbourhood to be led by the City's Transportation Services division.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager of Transportation Services to establish a comprehensive neighbourhood streets plan for the Wallace-Emerson neighbourhood, bounded by Dufferin Avenue, Dupont Avenue, Lansdowne Avenue and Croatia Street, including a review and analysis of the recommendations made by the local Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee and consideration of any other appropriate measures to address the issues raised by the community or identified by City staff.

Implementation of Permit Parking on Sousa Mendes Street, between Ruskin Avenue and Wallace Avenue
At its meeting of September 30, 2020, City Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Sousa Mendes Street, between Ruskin Avenue and Wallace Avenue from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking. City Council Decision http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2020.TE18.91 Subsection 925-4B, provides that: Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years Sousa Mendes Street, between Ruskin Avenue and Wallace Avenue is presently not licensed for permit parking. Adding this block of Sousa Mendes Street to the permit parking program would allow residents to obtain a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park overnight. For these reasons, I am recommending as follows.
The Toronto and East York Community Counci: 1. Amended Schedule A of City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate the west side of Sousa Mendes Street, between Ruskin Avenue and Wallace Avenue, as part of area 1A, under the operating hours of 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

Dupont and Bathurst Intersection Improvements
The intersection of Dupont Street and Bathurst Street is one that has historically been a source of concern for local residents with the number of vehicles passing through the intersection at high speeds and minimal distance from the sidewalk to the speeding cars. In late October, in an intersection similar to this one on Dupont a resident in Ward 11 lost their life due to dangerous conditions for pedestrians. This death is entirely preventable and future, similar ones could be avoided if the City of Toronto allocates substantially more funding toward Vision Zero and accelerated safe intersection design. Moving forward, we mustn't wait for a tragedy to occur before we take action. We must ensure that our Transportation Services budget is allocated to improving conditions for ALL road users and ensure safety is the driver of our design. Dupont Street will be the focus of future redesign as we create complete streets that account for the safety of our most vulnerable road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to review the feasibility of installing bollards on all four corners at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Dupont Street. 2. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to review the feasibility of installing automated speed enforcement at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Dupont Street. 3. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to conduct a safety review of the intersection of Bathurst Street and Dupont Street, looking at any mitigating measures that would improve safety, both short term and long term.
