Parking Amendments - Armstrong Avenue
Area residents contacted my office because of the difficulty they are experiencing exiting the public lane that runs parallel to Dufferin Street and is bounded by Wallace Avenue and Armstrong Avenue. These residents reported that their line of sight is being blocked by vehicles parking near the entrance of the public lane. Moreover, large vehicles and service trucks occasionally use the spot closest to the public lane to park, compounding the challenges. This creates a potentially unsafe condition and makes ingress/egress difficult for residents. Traffic Operations staff have been contacted for recommendations and as a result of their investigation, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending the removal of 1 parking space along Armstrong Avenue, as outlined below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited parking at all times on the south side of Armstrong Avenue, between a point 41.5 metres west of Dufferin Street and a point 5.5 metres further west.

Parking Amendments - No Parking Signs in the Public Laneway Adjacent to 299 Campbell Avenue
In 2017, Transportation Services recommended that the public lane abutting the north limit of 299 Campbell Avenue be permanently closed. The lane that was closed would be replaced with a new public lane at the south end of the development. Because of the laneway swap, our office requested that No Parking signage be installed in the new public laneway once the land transfer was complete after residents and businesses voiced their concerns that vehicles were parking illegally in the laneway. The land exchange was completed on December 4, 2020, so the new laneway is now under City ownership. However, the laneway is more than 6.0m wide and so a by-law must be passed to complete the installation of signage as it is not covered under the general provisions of Chapter 950 prohibiting parking in laneways when authorized signs are in effect. In order to help regulate parking in the laneway to the benefit of residents and local businesses, I am moving this motion to amend the by-law to have No Parking signs installed in the public laneway adjacent to 299 Campbell Avenue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited parking at all times on both sides of the public lane first south of Dupont Street, between Campbell Avenue and the east end of the lane.

Traffic Regulations - Housey Street
CityPlace is a neighbourhood that continues to see growth in its community and with new developments. Part of that growth must include the necessary road safety measures. Over the past number of years, I have worked closely with CityPlace residents to identify street safety concerns and have worked to implement the necessary improvements.

Moore Park is surrounded by the Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the north, to the south are the railway tracks, to the east is the Moore Park Ravine, and to the west is the Vale of Avoca Ravine. The historic context of Moore Park is defined by a diversity of detached, semi-detached and multi-family dwellings, situated within a garden suburb context primarily developed between 1900 and the 1930s houses of Dutch Colonial Revival style, English Cottage, Georgian, and Tudor styles with lots that often back onto one of the ravines. These styles are representative of the strict design guidelines put in place by the original developer, John Thomas Moore, prior to construction of the neighbourhood. The history of Moore Park originates as a portion of a 200 acre rectangular lot laid out by the British military engineers and surveyors for the Town of York in 1793. In 1884, a plan of subdivision portioned the land into 24 sections. The owner and developer of the property, from whom the area takes its name, was John Thomas Moore. Moore envisioned an elegant suburb nestled in a park-like setting removed from the pollution of the city. An arrangement was struck between Moore and the Township for the construction of an iron bridge, built in 1888, over the Vale of Avoca ravine that separated Moore Park from the Deer Park neighbourhood to the west. Moore needed to make the area more accessible and he was instrumental in building the Belt Line Railway (1892-1894) and oversaw the construction of the Moore Park station (1892). The Beltline only operated for 18 months before declaring bankruptcy delaying the development of Moore Park another twenty years. Moore Park was annexed to the City in 1913; and shortly after that Mount Pleasant road was extended south to Moore Park and Rosedale (1919-1924), and was substantially built out by the 1930s. The Moore Park Residence Association (MPRA) recently restated its interest to protect the historic character of Moore Park and expressed concern about the loss of the earliest historic houses in the neighbourhood. MPRA submitted a nomination for a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study and is awaiting City Planning's review. Today there remain a few rare surviving century homes within the Moore Park neighbourhood, representing the earliest period in the historical land development of the area prior to 1920s, that have yet to be evaluated for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and should be prioritized for research and evaluation as soon as possible. Identifying properties of cultural heritage value or interest is an essential part of a municipality's role in heritage conservation. Including "listed" non-designated properties in the municipal register is a means to identify properties that have cultural heritage value or interest to the community. A "listed" property has no legal protection under the Ontario Heritage Act; the only change for a property owner is that they will need to provide 60 days' notice when applying for a demolition permit, or prepare a Heritage Impact Assessment when submitting a planning application. When a property is listed it does not necessarily mean that it will be subsequently "designated" under the Ontario Heritage Act. Listed means further evaluation of the property will take place. "Listing" a property does not change the existing building permit process - it does not restrict an owner's ability to make exterior and interior alterations, when demolition is not involved. It does not trigger maintenance requirements over and above existing property standards.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, to research and evaluate properties located within the Moore Park neighbourhood associated with the earliest period of land development that were constructed prior to 1921 to identify properties of cultural heritage value that merit inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council with the results of this evaluation while City Planning completes the review of a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study nomination from Moore Park Residence Association.

Palmerston Area Resident Association (PARA) Green Plan
As development in the downtown core continues to intensify, the City of Toronto must ensure that we are creating liveable neighbourhoods, and finding opportunities to enhance and create green spaces is an important part of that liveability. Over the last three years, I have been working with the Palmerston Area Resident Association (PARA) to develop the PARA Green Plan which aims to enhance existing green spaces in the neighbourhood and identify ways that we can create new ones. In light of the ongoing success of the Harbord Village Green Plan, which was adopted by Toronto and East York Community Council in 2016 and the Grange Green Plan which was adopted in 2018, this plan sets out a similar vision for using flankage spaces, existing parks, and innovative ideas to focus on sustainability and greening as we continue to improve our community. Earlier this month, PARA and I partnered to launch this plan to the wider Palmerston community, to discuss the principles and proposals, and to finalize our vision for greening in the neighbourhood to great reception. Through a similar model to the Harbord Village and Grange Green Plan, I am requesting that Transportation Services and Parks, Forestry and Recreation work in consultation with my office and the Palmerston Area Resident Association to implement the PARA Green Plan.

Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to work with the Palmerston Area Resident Association, community partners, and the Ward Councillor to prepare a plan to implement, in principle, the Palmerston Area Resident Association (PARA) Green Plan and related improvements to public green space and amenities within the Palmerston neighbourhood, in a manner that reinforces the sense of place, addresses environmental and climate concerns, and green space deficiency in the neighbourhood, and would contribute to creating a model for greening neighbourhoods throughout the city.

Realignment of Permit Parking Area "5A" to exclude the development at 500 Dupont Street
The exclusion of the development located at 500 Dupont Street from the 5A permit parking area is a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space. The issuance of parking permits to residents of this development would negatively impact on the already limited supply of on-street parking spaces in the area. Councillor Layton is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to prohibit the General Manager, Transportation Services, from accepting applications from residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at the subject development property. Residents have reported that it is difficult to find a parking space close to home. The request is to ensure the balance of parking within area 5A from the potential influx from another development in the neighbourhood.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the realignment of Permit Parking Area "5A" to exclude the development located at 500 Dupont Street.

Speed Limit Reduction - Clinton Street, between College Street and Harbord Street
This item is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended. Clinton Street, between College Street and Harbord Street is classified as a collector roadway, and generally operates one-way northbound, except for a small section between College Street and a point 107 metres north which operates two-way. This section of Harbord Street has traffic calming and has a posted speed limit of 30 km/h. After a further review by Transportation Services staff, it was noted that there is an inconsistency with the by-lawed, and posted speed limit, on this section of Clinton Street given the existing traffic calming measures. This by-law inconsistency will be resolved by the adoption of the recommendation noted below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Clinton Street, between College Street and Harbord Street.

Parking Amendments - Poplar Plains Road
I am writing to you to request Community Council's support for a motion that is important to the constituents of the Toronto-St. Paul's ward, but one that could not be brought forward by staff in a timely fashion due to the impacts of the pandemic on staffing levels. Parents of students attending Brown Junior Public School at 454 Avenue Road had reached out to my office requesting a review of the school's pick-up/drop-off area for located on Poplar Plains Road. Due to changes of the school's own pick-up/drop-off times, inconsistencies developed with the parking provisions given by the old by-law. After consulting with the School Principal and a completed study by Transportation Services, I am bringing forward the recommendation that would help better reflect the needs of the community and school regarding parking and provide more safety for students getting dropped-off and picked-up. Traffic Operations staff have also been consulted on this and have provided assistance with the wording of the motion.

Traffic and Parking Regulations - Various Streets in the Regent Park Area
Over the last several months, our office has received a series of correspondence from constituents and Toronto Police Service Parking Enforcement about ongoing parking concerns along several streets south of Dundas Street East in Regent Park. Most pressing, are complaints from Toronto Fire Services about fire trucks being unable to access the roads as vehicles are parked on both sides. For the last number of years, as part of the ongoing development several streets in Regent Park have been under the jurisdiction of the developer. A number of these streets have now been dedicated to the City of Toronto allowing for a review of traffic and parking regulations. Transportation Services have reviewed the following streets: Nicholas Avenue, Wyatt Avenue, Tubman Avenue, Dreamers Way, and Oak Street. Traffic and parking regulations have been determined that support improved access for emergency personnel vehicles (see Attachment 1). These regulations are an interim solution. Once the roads are fully assumed by the City, there will be a larger community conversation to determine the long-term responses to parking and traffic regulation in the neighbourhood.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the traffic and parking regulations on Nicholas Avenue, Wyatt Avenue, Tubman Avenue, Dreamers Way and Oak Street, as described in Attachment 1: Traffic and Parking Regulations-Nicholas Avenue, Wyatt Avenue, Tubman Avenue, Dreamers Way and Oak Street to the Letter (February 22, 2021) from Councillor Wong-Tam. 2. Directed Transportation Services, in consultation with Toronto Community Housing, Regent Park Neighbourhood Association and the Ward Councillor, to engage in a community wide communication campaign in multiple languages to notify Regent Park residents and business owners to the upcoming traffic and parking regulation changes in the immediate area.

Permit Parking on Queensdale Avenue from Glebemount Avenue to Woodbine Avenue
Currently Queensdale Avenue from Glebemount to Woodbine is not zoned for permit parking and cars parked for longer than 3 hours may be ticketed. I have heard concerns from residents on the street about a shortage of available parking spaces and growing frustration about receiving tickets. Adding permit parking on this block of Queensdale Avenue would allow residents to apply for a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park on the street during the day and 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 and provides direction to proceed with enacting permit parking for the above noted areas. 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 I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking as the residents that did vote, were in favour of implementing the permit parking program.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Exempted the implementation of Permit Parking on Queensdale Avenue, between Glebemount Avenue and Woodbine Avenue 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.
