King-Spadina Public Realm Strategy
This report recommends the adoption of the King-Spadina Public Realm Strategy (the "Strategy"). As the resident and worker populations in the King-Spadina area continue to increase there is a need to revitalize existing parks and open spaces, create new parks and open spaces and connect these spaces together through rejuvenated and enhanced streetscapes. Given the context and constraints within this historic, built-up area, a variety of approaches are required to secure a high quality of life for residents, workers and visitors alike. The purpose and intent of the Strategy is to provide the vision and framework to achieve an expanded, improved and connected parks and public realm network within the King-Spadina area to serve the growing population of the neighbourhood. Over time, through the implementation of the draft Strategy within the King-Spadina area, the City has secured on-site parkland dedications that combined are comparable to the size of Victoria Memorial Square. In addition, the City has secured Privately Owned Publicly Accessible Spaces ("POPS") with a combined area comparable to David Pecaut Square. It is this incremental, comprehensive approach that adds not only new space, but also spaces that are strategically located to increase the connectivity of the public realm network. The Strategy will assist in the continued expansion of much needed improvements, help determine priorities and provide guidance on what should be secured through development review and capital planning. It is aligned with the King-Spadina Secondary Plan, the Downtown Plan and with the Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council adopt the King-Spadina Public Realm Strategy substantially in accordance with Attachment 1 to the report (June 4, 2021) from the Acting Director, Urban Design, City Planning and the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to use the King-Spadina Public Realm Strategy to evaluate current and future development applications within the Study Area as shown in Attachment 1 to the report (June 4, 2021) from the Acting Director, Urban Design, City Planning and the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

This report recommends City Council endorse a Planning Framework for the Bloor Street Study: St. Helen's Avenue to Perth Avenue, to be used to inform a future Official Plan Amendment (OPA) or Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) and to evaluate current and future development applications. The Planning Framework includes a vision for a diverse, complete, and connected community that: integrates properties identified as having potential cultural heritage value into plans for its future; provides a co-ordinated public realm network for new and enhanced parks, open spaces and connections; outlines the urban structure and built form of the identified character areas; and identifies emerging needs related to community services and facilities (CS and F). The Planning Framework complements the policies of the Official Plan, will guide the creation of a future OPA or SASP, and is intended to provide clarity related to the appropriate locations for built form and public realm improvements. The Planning Framework also begins to identify the infrastructure and CS and F needs required to support growth as the area continues to intensify. A community consultation work program formed part of the Bloor Street Study: St. Helen's Avenue to Perth Avenue, that saw a variety of input and feedback from the local community, the local Councillor, stakeholders, and other City Divisions. The guiding principles that make up the Planning Framework are intended to direct growth to occur in a well-planned and coordinated manner.

Construction Staging Area - 160 Front Street West (Simcoe Street) Underground Tunnel
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. PCL Constructors Canada Incorporated, is constructing an underground pedestrian tunnel under Simcoe Street that will connect 160 Front Street West to 200 Front Street West as part of the new building being constructed at 160 Front Street West (also known as 156-174 Front Street West and 43-51 Simcoe Street). In order to facilitate the construction of the underground tunnel, Simcoe Street between Front Street West and Wellington Street West will be closed to vehicular traffic. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the entire roadway of Simcoe Street including the east side and west side sidewalks, between Front Street West and a point 70 metres north, for a period of 17 months (i.e., August 20, 2021 to January 30, 2023) to accommodate the construction of the underground tunnel.

Traffic lanes on Simcoe Street, abutting the site, will be restricted. However, bike lanes for both northbound and southbound cyclists will be maintained at all times throughout the project.

Directed the applicant to clearly consult and communicate all construction, parking and road occupancy impacts with local business improvement areas and resident associations in advance of any physical road modifications. 8. Directed the applicant to install appropriate signage and converging mirrors to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and motorists safety is considered at all times. 9. Directed the applicant to provide a sufficient number of traffic control persons as determined by the Work Zone Traffic Coordinator and Toronto Police Construction Liaison Officer, on a daily basis to control construction vehicle access and egress to and from the site and maintain a safe environment for the public. 10.
