Rescind One-Way Designation - Public Lane west of Dufferin Street
At the March 2020 meeting of the Toronto East York Community Council, TE14.64 was adopted, which converted the public lane west of Dufferin Street from a two-way lane north and south to a one-way designation northbound. This designation negatively impacted residents on Dufferin Street, Wallace Avenue, Armstrong Avenue, and Emerson Avenue. As a result, residents from these streets came together and have submitted a petition requesting that the City's Transportation Services Department convert the public lane back to its original two-way configuration. Residents strongly feel that the circuitous route to access the laneway and the abutting garages has caused safety issues for motorists and disrupted traffic flow. By returning the public lane to a two-way operation, residents believe this would make local streets and access to their properties safer and more user friendly. Therefore, the purpose of this motion is to recommend that the public lane be returned to a two-way lane.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing one-way northbound operation of the first north-south public lane west of Dufferin Street, between Wallace Avenue and Armstrong Avenue.

Reducing the Speed Limit on Church Street between Bloor Street East and The Esplanade
A local resident submitted a petition to my office with over 100 signatures expressing concern for the safety of pedestrians and CafeTO patio patrons and requesting the reduction of the speed limit on Church Street to 30km/h. As outlined in the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy, higher speeds can contribute to a higher risk of serious injury and fatalities. While we have made significant strides over the past few years towards making our streets safer for all road users, through speed limit reductions and traffic calming measures, my office in partnership with community stakeholders continues to identify and assess new opportunities to improve safety. Reducing the speed limit along the entire stretch of Church Street from Bloor Street East to The Esplanade will have a positive impact for thousands of residents, parents walking their children to and from school, and for the businesses with CafeTO patios so their patrons feel safe.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit along the following roadway to 30 kilometres per hour: Church Street between Bloor Street East and Conger Coal Lane. 2. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to install relevant speed limit signage along the roadway segments outlined in Recommendation 1 above, as soon as possible.

Lane Designation - River Street and King Street East
At its meeting on December 15th, 2020, the TTC Board approved the 2021 Annual Service Plan which included changes to the 121 Fort York - Esplanade bus route. This routing change is anticipated to take effect in October 2021. The revised 121 Fort York - Esplanade buses will serve a nearside stop on southbound River Street at King Street East and then need to merge through the intersection to continue southbound. River Street, between Queen Street East and King Street East, is classified as a minor arterial roadway that operates with one travel lane, bike lane and a right turn lane in the southbound direction. It has a pavement width of approximately 15.3 metres and a posted speed limit of 40 km/h. Designating the southbound curb lane on River Street at King Street East as "right turn only, buses excepted" will clearly define lane usage, mitigate any potential vehicular conflicts, and allow for proper enforcement of the respective traffic signs under the Highway Traffic Act. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on River Street, City Council approval of this lane designation is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council designate the westerly southbound lane on River Street, from King Street East to a point 36 metres north, for southbound right turns only, buses excepted.

Road safety improvements needed on Queen Street East around Neville Park Streetcar Loop
I am asking for your support for a comprehensive road safety review to be completed for Queen Street East in and around the Neville Park Streetcar Loop. The need for careful but urgent review of this area has been highlighted by a growing number of collisions and concerning road safety incidents over the last several months. For many of these incidents, tragedy has only very narrowly been avoided. In Spring 2021, many in our community saw images of an overturned Lamborghini that was totaled in a crash after a reckless driver overtook a streetcar. For the surrounding community, the only surprising thing about these images was that nobody was seriously hurt or worse. There have been many similar incidents before and others since. The community in this area knows that stunt driving, impatience with the streetcar, as well as a sudden change in the road design after the streetcar loop cause all kinds of collisions, near-misses and concerning hazards for those who live, work, visit or travel through the area. I am asking for your support in requesting for a thorough review to consider road safety measures in the area. We need to look at a number of key areas outlined in the motion, as well as any other measure our road safety experts can recommend. In addition to conflicts with the streetcar, this stretch of Queen Street East is difficult to navigate because of changes in grade, a sudden change in the width and conditions of the road after the streetcar loop, and the fact that many.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1.

Opportunities for an all-way stop control or other crossing and traffic controls at Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue; b. Signage to better warn road users travelling east on Queen Street East of the sudden north-bound turn to Victoria Park Avenue; c. Interventions to calm traffic moving alongside or around streetcars; d. Creating a Community Safety Zone in this section of Queen Street East; and e. Adjusting parking or curb lines on the north and south sides of Queen Street East, from Neville Park Boulevard to Victoria Park Avenue to improve visibility and lower risk of collisions.

Parking Amendments - Ordnance Street
In consultation with Transportation Services, I am requesting approval to amend the existing parking regulations on Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street. The proposed on-street parking regulations will help facilitate the implementation of future bike lanes, include a commercial loading zone that will provide for curb-side loading/unloading of merchandise, and help improve safe traffic operations on this street. With the recent completion of three new developments along Ordnance Street, the existing roadway has been narrowed considerably, and cannot safely accommodate two traffic lanes, parking and bike lanes. For the most part, the proposed cross-section on Ordnance Street will comprise of two traffic lanes (one lane per direction) and bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. To provide area residents with curb-side loading/ unloading opportunity, a commercial loading zone will be designated on the east side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg) that will operate at all times. To fulfill the long term vision of the City Council approved Cycling Network Plan, every street through development applications, area studies and capital projects are considered for bikeways. Ordnance Street was evaluated in the Cycling Network Plan Long Term Cycling Network Vision analysis and ranked in the second highest suitability category. While in the moment Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m to the east is a dead end, in the future the street could connect to the Ordnance Triangle Park and the new Garrison Crossing bicycle/pedestrian bridge. Bikeways may also be extended west of Strachan Avenue along East Liberty Street. When those future connections are developed, Ordnance Street would become a vital active transportation corridor. Before the new developments open on Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m east, it is recommended to install the bike lanes to inform mobility choices of new residents and the new operations. A subsequent report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee will be submitted to seek authority and approval for the Chapter 886: Bicycle Lanes by-laws.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing accessible parking space in effect at all times on the north side of Ordnance Street, between a point 12.8 metres east of Strachan Avenue and a point 6.2 metres further east. 2. Rescinded the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, for a maximum period of three hours, at the rate of $3.00 per hour, on both sides of Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street. 3.

Speed Limit Reductions on MacLennan Avenue, between Summerhill Avenue and Edgar Avenue
Residents in North Rosedale have frequently reached out to my office with concerns over speeding on the streets within their residential area. Transportation Services has applied a number safety measures to mitigate road incidents including new signage, pavement markings and even a road reconfiguration and today I am requesting a speed limit reduction as a means to limit dangerous interactions on MacLennan Ave between Summerhill Ave and Edgar Ave. As outlined in the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy, higher speeds can contribute to higher risk of serious injury and fatalities. Setting a lower speed limit in this segment of roadway on MacLennan Ave, serves to increase safety for all road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on MacLennan Avenue, between Summerhill Avenue and Edgar Avenue. 2.

I am writing to request your support in authorizing the installation of a Pedestrian Crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road. Several families in this area (on Rains Avenue and Melita Avenue, south of Davenport) with very young children, and with many being dog-walkers, frequently cross to the north side of Davenport Road, a busy major arterial, in a very unsafe manner to have access to the Hillcrest Park via the south west entrance. Their only option of crossing safely to access the Park is to walk further east on Davenport, about 3 blocks to Christie Street, which takes several minutes, even though there's an entrance directly across from them. Transportation staff have indicated that there has been no collision history here which may not warrant a PXO. However, the community has called for this for several years running, and it's an attempt to get ahead of any potential incidents in the future to ensure safety, particularly for young children.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road.

Designate a School Crossing Guard and Parking Amendments at Millwood Road
I am writing to request your support in designating a school crossing guard at Millwood Road, adjacent to the Davisville Junior Public School and Spectrum Alternative School. My office has consulted widely with school officials, the TDSB, and the Davisville community, who all support this initiative to improve safety for kids. There is a pedestrian walkway between Nos. 116 and 122 Millwood that links Millwood Road to Belsize Drive, which is heavily utilized by kids on their way to and from school. Traffic Operations staff are currently assessing the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossover (PXO) at the location. Without a PXO in place yet, my motion is calling for immediate measures (a painted pedestrian crossing, school crossing signs, and pedestrian ramps) to facilitate the designation of a crossing guard for the start of school in the fall as studies continue towards the installation of a PXO.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on the south side of Millwood Road, between a point 264.5 metres east of Yonge Street and a point 291.5 metres east of Yonge Street and on the north side of Millwood Road, between a point 270.5 metres east of Yonge Street and a point 297.5 metres east of Yonge Street. 2.

I am writing to request your support in designating Owen Weinstein Lane, between Westover Hill Road and Flanders Road, as one-way only for westbound traffic. Residents of Westover Hill Road, who have been severely impacted by traffic congestion on their street as a result of the ongoing LRT construction, are requesting this to improve traffic flow. Commuters travelling northbound on Flanders Road use the Owen Weinstein Lane as a cut through (eastbound) to Westover Hill Road in order to access the Allen. This creates huge congestion at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West, causing significant backups (stagnant traffic) on Westover Hill Road, impacting the quality of life of residents. Traffic flow would be significantly improved if commuters joined Westover Hill Road from Dewbourne Avenue. My office has also consulted with the local BIA, the Upper Village BIA, who are in support of this initiative.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Designated Owen Weinstein Lane, between Westover Hill Road and Flanders Road, as one-way for westbound traffic only.

Advancing Victoria Street Construction
Located in the heart of downtown, Victoria Street has numerous notable attractions (e.g. Ed Mirvish Theatre, Fran's Restaurant, Rogers/City TV, Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre, Jazz Bistro, The Senator, Pantages Hotel, Fran's Restaurant, and Massey Hall) nearby which draw a plethora of residents and tourists. In addition, Victoria Street is the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Areas (BIA)'s Entertainment Precinct, which has significant economic impact for the neighbourhood as well as surrounding businesses. This is especially important in the current COVID-19 landscape that has severely impacted local businesses financially. The re-opening of the province and restrictions being lifted means that we can return to normal activities albeit within appropriate COVID-19 safety guidelines and standards. As a result, both residents and tourists are frequenting the attractions in downtown Yonge. Massey Hall, known internationally as Canada's most important venue for concerts and lectures, attracting many of the world's leading celebrities is set to re-open on November 25th, 2021 after a 3 year hiatus due to 3 years of extensive renovations. The local- area theatres are also set to re-open during or after this timeframe. While we look forward to these entertainment venues re-opening that will attract tourists and residents to the area, infrastructural concerns on Victoria Street that must be addressed immediately by the City. The ongoing deterioration of infrastructure in the public realm has resulted in significant issues with sidewalks, TTC streetcar tracks, roadways, and Hydro Vaults. A large number of safety and tripping hazards exist especially for individuals using assistive devices due to constant sidewalk damage on both sides of Victoria Street. The significant damage to the adjacent existing TTC Street tracks, which run North-South along Victoria Street have rendered these tracks unusable. Metal plates have been placed over top existing TTC streetcar tracks due to the underlying and surrounding roadway collapsing. Due to a high number of potholes and cracks in the roadway, water often pools along Victoria Street following rainfall - this negatively impacts the pedestrian experience, as water is splashed onto the sidewalk (and onto pedestrians) by moving vehicles. Victoria Street is a main entertainment precinct and a destination for Torontonians and tourists. The economic and recovery of the neighbourhood depends on this Entertainment Precinct being, which means that Victoria Street must be repaired urgently.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to work collaboratively with all stakeholders (Toronto Transit Committee, Toronto Hydro and appropriate City divisions and Downtown Yonge BIA) to devise a detailed plan and construction schedule that will immediately address and correct the deterioration of Victoria Street and to provide quarterly updates to Toronto East York Community Council starting on November 24, 2021 and subsequently on how this planning and reconstruction work is progressing.

Zoning By-law Amendment Study - Jenet Road, Paton Street, Lansdowne Avenue, Wade Avenue
Residents, property owners and businesses in the community have been in contact with my office requesting that we study the area to ensure zoning by-law compliance with the present and future uses in this mixed part of Davenport. The area is bordered by residential on one side and then further surrounded by development applications and requests to convert employment lands. There are a mixture of employment, commercial and residential uses already happening within the area and while the residential uses are permitted by the Official Plan, the Zoning By-law does not presently allow them. In order to provide a greater degree of oversight and certainty to the community going forward I am making the following recommendations.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning undertake a study of the lands subject to Site and Area Specific Policy 154, which front onto Jenet Road and Paton Street between Lansdowne Avenue and Wade Avenue and the lands that front onto Wade Avenue between Jenet Road and Paton Street to determine the appropriateness of amending Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 to permit residential uses within the study area.

Ontario Line Traffic Impacts - North Section
Traffic Management around large infrastructure projects is always a challenge. The earlier the planning begins the better the outcomes for the residents. Additionally, many in the community have asked for the City to take an active role in the traffic management to ensure that the interests of the local community are preserved. While Metrolinx will be responsible for developing the plan, the City should take an active role in proscribing what the community expects and how Metrolinx needs to be handling the project. While traffic is a primary concern there are additional concerns around trees and other construction impacts. Some of this work is underway for the south section, but I am asking for your support to extend this kind of pre-emptive work to the North Section as well.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services to develop requirements for the Ontario Line North Traffic Management and Construction Staging plans including but not limited to: community consultation on the Traffic Management Plan well ahead of approval; addition of traffic calming on neighbouring streets if requested; detailed parking impacts communicated to the residents in advance; and establishment of a mobile community office/trailer that can resolve issues. 2. Requested Transportation Services staff to attend a Community Meeting hosted by the Ward Councillor to review their requirements and expectations with the impacted residents.

Broadview Avenue and Torrens Avenue: Creating a Safer Intersection
Over the summer there was a scary incident at Broadview Avenue and Torrens Avenue where a young child was hit by a car at the crosswalk. There have been thirteen collisions over the past ten years at this crosswalk, many caused by cars travelling at a high rate of speed hitting cars that are stopped at the crosswalk. That is what happened this summer. Thankfully the child, visiting Toronto - Danforth from Beaches - East York, was not seriously injured. Councillor Bradford and I have already asked the General Manager of Transportation to conduct a safety review of this intersection with a view to potentially upgrading it to a stoplight or making other safety improvements. Considering the near-tragedy that we experienced I am asking for your support as a Community Council to endorse a safety review.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to conduct a safety review of the Pedestrian Crossover at Broadview Avenue and Torrens Avenue and to report back in the first quarter of 2022 with a report on safety upgrades, including the possibility of upgrading to a stop light.

Options for the Truncated Section of Gerrard Street East of Carlaw Avenue
For many decades Gerrard East ran along the south side of the tracks. It did not run straight through to Carlaw. When Gerrard Street was extended easterly an intersection was created at Gerrard Street and Carlaw Avenue, in essence creating two Gerrard Streets. In 2002 Transportation Services closed off the entrance from the original Gerrard Street onto the new Gerrard Street. Nonetheless because the original street is still signed as Gerrard Street many drivers try to cut through to avoid the intersection and many large vehicles - TTC buses and Semis included also see the sign and enter there only to find themselves completely stuck which creates a dangerous situation for residents. For many years I have been working with local residents to try to fix this, but the problems continue. A review of all options is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review the situation and all options for the truncated portion of Gerrard Street and, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to present options to the local residents and to report to the November 24, 2021 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

Queen Street East and Carroll Street - Pedestrian Safety
I am writing to you today regarding the crosswalk at Queen Street East and Carroll Street. The proximity of this crosswalk to the DVP and the current influx of new residents due to the completion of Riverside Square is the perfect opportunity to create a safer condition along this stretch. Over the past seven years there have been four major accidents at this crosswalk, three of which were pedestrians who were hit at the crosswalk. In 2015, with the approval of the Riverside Square Development (2015.TE12.7), this Community Council already contemplated potentially installing a light in this area and required the developer to set aside money against this possibility. I am asking for your support to formally begin looking at making this intersection safer.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the Crosswalk at Queen Street East and Carroll Street along with the intersections of Queen Street East and East Don Roadway, Davies Avenue, and Munro Street, and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council in the first quarter of 2022 with recommendations on how best to protect pedestrians and support safe traffic movement.
