Brock Avenue - Parking Amendments
Current parking regulations on Brock Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Wallace Avenue, are creating significant challenges for permit parking holders and visitors to the area. Every Thursday from April to November, residents are required to move their vehicles to the east side of Brock Avenue - where there are fewer available parking spaces. These switchover days have caused confusion and frustration among residents, as tickets are issued frequently despite a reduction in street maintenance. A majority of the households along this section of Brock Avenue confirmed their support on a petition requesting the removal of the Thursday switchover days. The removal of switchover days will not only improve the parking supply on Brock Avenue for permit parking holders but also ensure that visitors to the neighbourhood can still locate street parking.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on the odd (east) side of Brock Avenue, from Bloor Street West to Wallace Avenue, each Thursday, from April 1 to November 30, inclusive. 2.

Davenport Village Traffic Safety Plan
Davenport Village is a rapidly growing neighbourhood bounded by Lansdowne Avenue on the east, Davenport Road on the north, railway tracks on the west, and Dupont Street on the south. Over two decades ago, a vision was developed and set in motion a plan to transform a heavily industrial zone into a liveable complete community. Today's Davenport Village is a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood full of new townhomes, factories converted into lofts, local coffee shops where neighbours gather, and beautiful green space at its core. With construction ongoing, hundreds of new families are expected to call Davenport Village home in the coming years. However, traffic safety improvements have not kept pace with this transformation from an industrial area to a residential neighbourhood. Residents have shared concerns about frequent speeding, serious accidents, and near misses. In particular, there has been a sharp increase in cut-through traffic as drivers attempt to avoid crossing Davenport Road - making it unsafe for people walking in their own neighbourhood. Daily northbound vehicle backups along Foundry Avenue, caused by attempts to make left turns, create noise and dangerous intersection movements. As further development is completed and more families move in, there is an urgent need for immediate safety improvements. At a community meeting I hosted earlier this year, I met with local residents to share a plan that improves safety for all road users and reduces cut-through traffic. Residents confirmed their strong support for the proposed plan and provided valuable feedback through a public survey. This final plan, based on the feedback through public consultation, proposes: - Traffic calming measures on Foundry Avenue, Brandon Avenue, and Powerhouse Street - Turn restrictions to reduce cut-through traffic on local streets - Critical intersection safety improvements - Heavy truck prohibition to prevent large vehicles from using residential streets as a cut-through - Expediting approved improvements to enhance access to City services and traffic safety The proposed measures will significantly improve road safety and ensure that everyone-residents and visitors-can safely explore the many great spaces located in Davenport Village.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on the following roads: a. Powerhouse Street, between Foundry Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue; b. Foundry Avenue, between Powerhouse Street and Brandon Avenue; c. Foundry Avenue, between Davenport Road and Powerhouse Street; and d. Brandon Avenue, between Foundry Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue. 2.

Davenport Village Traffic Safety Plan - Left Turns on Foundry Avenue
As part of the Davenport Village Traffic Safety Plan, a prohibition on northbound left turns on Foundry Avenue at Davenport road was proposed. Daily northbound vehicle backups along Foundry Avenue, caused by attempts to make left turns, create noise and dangerous intersection movements. This prohibition will reduce traffic conflicts and improve overall safety. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Davenport, City Council approval of this recommendation is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council prohibit northbound left-turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on Foundry Avenue at Davenport Road.

Stonehouse Crescent - Heavy Truck Prohibition
Heavy trucks along Dufferin Street consistently use Stonehouse Crescent as a cut-through to travel towards Queen Street West. These trucks are very large and are creating challenges in the neighbourhood. Vehicles are often blocked in, and visibility is impacted as a result of the street's width - putting all road users in unsafe situations. Transportation Services confirmed there are alternative travel routes for these trucks and that a restriction here will not impact traffic flow. Heavy trucks making deliveries to properties on Stonehouse Crescent are exempt from this regulation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited heavy vehicles at all times on Stonehouse Crescent, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue.

St. George Street - No Standing within the On-Street Logistics Mini-hub Zone
The current dedicated On-Street Logistic Mini-hub Parking zone on St. George Street, which was approved by City Council in June 2024 and currently operated by Purolator Incorporated, is experiencing frequent instances of vehicles parking illegally within this designated area. This mini-hub zone, located in a parking lay-by, provides room for the re-purposed shipping container and short-term truck parking to allow Purolator's loading and unloading activities. The illegally parked or stopped vehicles are impacting Purolator's daily operations. Implementing a 'No Standing' zone in this location will clearly communicate that stopping or waiting in these areas is prohibited at all times, thereby discouraging illegal parking behavior and allow enforcement officers with a clear legal basis to issue tickets or remove vehicles.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited standing at all times, on the west side of St. George Street, between a point 88.7 metres north of Ursula Franklin Street and a point 15.3 metres further north.

Temporary Traffic Amendments, Bathurst Street at Lennox Street
This letter is to direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install additional temporary traffic control devices in order to prevent illegal southbound motor vehicle traffic turning from Lennox Street onto the one-way northbound section of Markham Street south of Lennox Street, until Markham Street re-opens to general traffic, between Lennox Street and Bloor Street. Markham Street, between Lennox Street and Bloor Street West has been closed for five years. It was scheduled to reopen to general traffic by the summer of 2024. In 2023, Lennox Street west of Markham Street became one-way eastbound, as part of the installation of safer cycling infrastructure, and in order to direct traffic from the Westbank development away from the interior of the Palmerston community. As result, vehicles entering Lennox Street from Bathurst Street quickly encounter a dead end: they cannot physically go north on Markham Street, and they cannot legally go west on Lennox Street or south on Markham Street. Some turn around, but large numbers of vehicles drive illegally south on Markham Street, which is a one-way northbound street. This creates a serious safety hazard on Markham Street, especially for pedestrians. This hazard is particularly acute in the summer, when children play outside. Markham Street north of Lennox Street was supposed to be open by June 2025 at the latest, but the opening has been again delayed to September 2025. Traffic enforcement has advised that they are too thinly stretched to be able to effectively protect the children of Markham Street from this dangerous illegal behavior. The only remaining option is to implement turn restrictions at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street in order to prevent vehicles from entering Lennox Street from Bathurst Street until Westbank reopens Markham Street north of Lennox Street. It may also be desirable to convert Lennox Street west of Markham Street back to two-way traffic operation, but this requires community consultation that is not yet complete.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council prohibit northbound left-turns at all times at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street. 2. City Council prohibit southbound right-turns at all times at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lennox Street. 3. City Council direct that Bathurst Street and Lennox Street be returned to pre-construction traffic and parking regulations upon the reopening of Markham Street north of Lennox Street. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to take additional temporary traffic control measures as required to prevent illegal southbound motor vehicle traffic turning from Lennox Street onto the one-way northbound section of Markham Street, south of Lennox Street.

2161 Yonge Street - Part Lot Control Exemption Application - Decision Report - Approval
This report recommends approval of the application to exempt 2161 Yonge Street from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act. This application facilitates any required minor realignments of the property boundary lines within the non-residential portion of this proposed 38-storey mixed-use development site. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. The Part Lot Control Exemption application implements the site-specific Zoning By-law. This report also recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act against the lands to ensure that no part of the lands can be conveyed or mortgaged without prior consent of the Executive Director, Development Review.
The Toronto and East Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for the lands municipally known as 2161 Yonge Street, substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 3 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Exemption Plan on Attachment 2 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two (2) years following enactment by City Council. 2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to: a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the subject lands described in Schedule "A" in Attachment 3 to the report (July 4, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, without prior written consent of the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; and c. enter into a Shared Facilities Agreement and provide the requisite certification, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review, prior to the registration of a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act for any applicable conveyances. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review at such time as confirmation is received that a plan of condominium has been registered or upon expiry or repeal of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. 4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to the lands or any portion thereof against which the Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act has been registered. 5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to repeal or amend the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law to delete part of the lands described in the bylaw, if the City Solicitor determines, in their sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review, that it is necessary prior to releasing or partially releasing the 118 Restriction from title. 6. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as maybe required.

The recent meeting on June 16th, 2025 was an opportunity to provide feedback on potential contraflow bike lanes on Logan Avenue and Carlaw Avenue. The feedback received highlights both the opportunities and the concerns associated with the proposed designs. There were significant concerns raised regarding the potential impacts of contraflow lanes on accessibility, including challenges for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Given the extended nature of the consultation process and the need for further study of alternative routes, I request that the staff implement interim safety measures to enhance cycling safety in the immediate term. These measures would serve as a temporary but meaningful step toward improving active transportation infrastructure while allowing for a more comprehensive review of long-term solutions.
