Construction Staging Area - 1151 Queen Street East (at Larchmount Avenue)
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Hullmark (1151 Queen East) LP is constructing a six-storey residential rental building, with ground floor retail, at 1151 Queen Street East. The site is located on the south-east corner of Queen Street East and Larchmount Avenue. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the east sidewalk and a 2.1 metre-wide portion of the northbound lane on Larchmount Avenue, between Queen Street East and a point 34 metres to the south, for a period of 19 months (i.e. November 1, 2021 to June 1, 2023) to accommodate a construction staging area. The number of northbound lanes will not be reduced on Larchmount Avenue and northbound traffic will be maintained by a 6.5 metre-wide lane. Stopping will be prohibited on the east side at all times due to the partial lane occupation. Pedestrian movements on the east side of Larchmount Avenue abutting the site will be restricted and directed to the west side sidewalk of Larchmount Avenue. As the Bruce Public School is located south of the development site on the east side, to provide a protected pedestrian crossing for pedestrians during the construction staging period, the developer will install, maintain (during the entire construction period) and remove (at the end of the construction period) a temporary PXO approximately 42 metres south of Queen Street East. In order to ensure parked vehicles do not obstruct pedestrian use of the temporary PXO, or obstruct motorist sightlines of crossing pedestrians, three existing permit parking spaces on the west side of Larchmount Avenue will need to be temporarily removed. Stopping will be prohibited all times on both sides of Larchmount Avenue in the vicinity of the PXO. No closure of the sidewalk or roadway on Queen Street will be required; however, a 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway will be provided on the existing sidewalk.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the closure of the east sidewalk and the northbound curb lane on Larchmount Avenue, between Queen Street East and a point 34 metres south, from November 1, 2021 to June 1, 2023. 2.

Authorized the following conditions of the construction staging permit, which relate to the temporary PXO: A deposit will be required to be submitted to "The Treasurer, City of Toronto", in advance of the permit being issued. The deposit is required to cover costs incurred by the City, in the event the developer does not provide a service that it must, as stipulated in the permit agreement conditions below. Upon completion of the construction project and return to normal operation, the unused portion of the deposit will be returned to the developer. The developer will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and removal of the PXO by one of the electrical contractors pre-approved by the City's Traffic Systems Construction and Maintenance Unit. Maintenance levels specified by the City's Traffic Systems Construction and Maintenance Unit must be followed, to be in accordance with those followed by the City's Electrical Maintenance Contractor for the maintenance of the City's other PXOs. The developer must provide to Transportation Services a 7 day/24 hr contact name, phone number and email address, for the City's dispatchers to forward operational malfunction/complaints to. If the City's dispatcher is not able to reach the contact by phone to provide details of a malfunction/complaint, then the City's Electrical Maintenance Contractor will be dispatched to investigate and complete repairs and the City's dispatcher will send an email to document the malfunction call and their inability to reach the contact. The response and repair costs will be deducted from the deposit provided to the City. The speed hump (at the location of the PXO) will need to be returned to its original condition upon completion of the construction. 8. Directed the applicant to pressure wash the construction site and adjacent sidewalks and roadways weekly, or more frequently as needed to be cleared of any construction debris and made safe. 9.

Road Alteration and Parking Amendments - Spadina Road
The Forest Hill Village BIA is implementing the next phase of its Streetscape Master Plan that aims to build a vibrant and welcoming streetscape for visitors and for people living and working in the area. This phase involves pedestrian improvements and alteration of curbs at three key intersections along Spadina Road - at Montclair Avenue, at Lonsdale Road and at Thelma Avenue. The improvements include five bulb-outs that incorporate planting areas with trees, passive stormwater infiltration and seating. Upgrades will also include the reduction of curb radii and addition of tactile warning plates at the three intersection corners, upgraded paving and new zebra markings to improve pedestrian safety, meet current accessibility standards and slow vehicles. The intersection enhancements are inclusive of all sign and pavement marking modifications. The project will require four existing parking spaces to be permanently removed. The BIA aims to work with the Toronto Parking Authority to explore new paid parking locations to help offset the loss. All work will comply with the City of Toronto's guidelines and is to be constructed as a stand-alone project administered by Economic Development and Culture's BIA Office. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Spadina Road, City Council approval of this report is required to remove the parking spaces and make associated traffic regulation and road alteration amendments.

Parking Machines - Various Streets Intersecting Bloor Street West
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services are requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on a number of local streets intersecting Bloor Street West in Ward 4. These requests resulted from a review following the installation of cycle tracks last year on Bloor Street West, between Shaw Street and Runnymede Road. The cycle track installation reduced the supply of on-street parking and loading in the area. Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) staff reviewed streets intersecting Bloor Street West to convert locations with daytime time limit parking, overnight permit parking and no parking to paid, on-street parking. The review considered parking areas of high demand that are functionally safe, appropriate, and economically viable and included consultation with the local Business Improvement Areas (BIA's). The addition of new on-street paid parking will help serve local business parking demands and encourage regular turnover throughout the day to maximize parking available to patrons. The installation of on-street paid parking and loading on streets intersecting Bloor Street West is an ongoing initiative. Transportation Services and TPA staff will continue to review and potentially report on new on-street paid parking and loading opportunities. A companion report, titled "Parking Machines - High Park Avenue" outlines the required non-delegated parking amendments for a location with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.
