Construction Staging Area - 99 Blue Jays Way (Mercer Street)
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. BJW Residences Limited Partnership is constructing a 47-storey residential development building at 99 Blue Jays Way. The site is located on the southeast corner of Blue Jays Way and Mercer Street. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the south sidewalk and a three-metre-wide portion of the eastbound curb lane on Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east, for a period of 18 months (i.e., December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. In addition, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close a one-metre-wide portion of the westbound curb lane on the first lane south of Mercer Street, east of Blue Jays Way, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east, for a period of 18 months (i.e., December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. As a result of the proposed staging area, the width of the laneway will be reduced to four-metres in width at its narrowest point. As a result, it is recommended that the laneway be designated as one-way eastbound/northbound traffic. Pedestrian movements on the south side of Mercer Street abutting the site will be restricted and pedestrians will be directed to the north side sidewalk of Mercer Street. A temporary pedestrian walkway along the closed portion of the west sidewalk could not be installed due to insufficient roadway width to maintain both the temporary walkway and one-way traffic operation on Mercer Street. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Blue Jays Way will be maintained in a 2.1-metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the existing sidewalk. The construction staging area on Mercer Street will result in the loss of one eastbound traffic lane that is currently designated for on-street parking, resulting in the loss of approximately six parking machine spaces.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the closure of the south sidewalk and a three-metre-wide portion of the eastbound curb lane on Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east from December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022. 2. Authorized the closure of a one-metre-wide portion of the most northerly westbound curb lane on the first lane south of Mercer Street, east of Blue Jays Way, between Blue Jays Way Mercer Street and a point 62 metres east, from December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022. 3. Designated the public lane system bounded by Blue Jays Way, Mercer Street, John Street and Wellington Street West as one-way eastbound/northbound. 4. Rescinded the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three hours, on the south side of Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and point 67.5 metres east. 5. Rescinded the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., Monday to Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Sunday, at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of six hours, on the south side of Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and point 67.5 metres east. 6. Rescinded the existing stopping prohibition in effect at all times, on the south side of Mercer Street, between a point 66.5 metres east of Blue Jays Way and a point 37.5 metres further east. 7. Prohibited stopping at all times on the south side of Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and a point 75.5 metres east. 8.

Parking Amendments - Booth Avenue
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services recommends amending the existing maximum one-hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday on the west side of Booth Avenue, between Eastern Avenue and Louis Kesten Lane, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday.
