John Street Project Communication, Engagement and Construction Management Update
The John Street Cultural corridor, from Stephanie Street to south of Front Street West, is recognized as a route of civic and cultural importance in the City, encompassing major facilities and institutions including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Film Board of Ontario, the CBC Broadcast Centre, the Princess of Wales and Royal Alexandra Theatres, the TIFF Bell Lightbox, to name just a few. City Council, in considering plans and studies of this area at various times over the last few years, designated John Street as a "Cultural Corridor", an "Avenue of the Arts", and a "Pedestrian Priority Route". Local stakeholders, including the Toronto Downtown West BIA, have expressed the need for reliable, timely, and proactive communication regarding the progress of the John Street Corridor Improvements. Effective construction management and community engagement are essential to minimizing disruption and ensuring transparency throughout the project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, the Toronto Downtown West Business Improvement Area, Toronto Hydro, and any other relevant divisions and agencies, to report back to the January 13, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on a status update on the project, including a plan detailing communication updates, commitments to community engagement, construction phasing and a project timeline.

All-way Stop Control- Soudan Avenue and Lillian Street
I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to authorize an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Soudan Avenue and Lillian Street. There is sustained concern from residents regarding excessive speeding along Soudan Avenue and lack of compliance with the existing one-way designation on Lillian St, leading to unsafe conditions at this intersection and along Lillian St. I am confident that the installation of an all-way stop at this location will improve the safety of this intersection.

Power Street - Heavy Truck Prohibition
For many years, residents have raised safety concerns about heavy truck traffic on Power Street for all road users. Power is a small local road, home to several residential buildings and a dog off leash area. The road intersects with westbound traffic coming off the Don Valley Parkway off-ramp onto Richmond Street East as well as eastbound traffic travelling towards the Adelaide Street East Bridge. To improve safety in the area, the City is currently in the process of installing new traffic signals at the intersections of Power Street and Richmond Street East, and Power Street and Adelaide Street East. As this work is being undertaken, I asked Transportation Services staff to review additional changes that could further bolster safety on the corridor. A heavy truck ban emerged as an initiative that was proposed by residents and supported by staff.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited heavy vehicles at all times on Power Street, between Queen Street East and King Street East.

Queen Street East Construction - Parking Replacement near Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue
As the TTC and Toronto Water construction begins on Queen Street East between Broadview Avenue and Davies Avenue, we are already experiencing the traffic and parking impacts on Ward 14. Due to feedback from residents and the BIA, I have heard accessibility concerns with the 25 parking spots that have been occupied on Queen Street East for this construction work. I am disappointed that replacement parking was not proactively considered before this construction project was awarded. The project has been delayed since early November and is now rescheduled for January 2026. However, parking on Queen St. E continues to be occupied despite no active work taking place, which does not reflect the needs of the community. For the duration of this construction, I am requesting that parking regulations on Carroll Street be temporarily adjusted to allow applicable daytime parking. Additionally, I ask that Transportation Services, in collaboration with the local Councillor and the Riverside BIA, investigate options for replacement parking in the immediate area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on the east side of Carroll Street between Queen Street East and Thompson Street. 2. Authorized parking for maximum period of 1 hour from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the east side of Carroll Street between Queen Street East and Thompson Street. 3. Prohibited parking in effect daily from 6:00 p.m. of one day to 8:00 a.m. of the next following day on the east side of Carroll Street between Queen Street East and Thompson Street. 4. Requested that Transportation Services investigate replacement parking in collaboration with the local Councillor and the local Business Improvement Area. 5. Directed that Carroll Street be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when regular Toronto Transit Commission streetcar service has resumed along Queen Street East, Broadview Avenue to Davies Avenue, after the Toronto Transit Commission track replacement work is complete.

Installation of Traffic Calming Measures on Hatherley Road
Hatherley Road extends west from a very busy section of Dufferin Street and remains an important connection to numerous neighbourhoods, schools, and parks. Drivers often use Hatherley Road, designated as a local street, to avoid travelling through nearby major intersections. This increased pressure on Hatherley Road has resulted in growing traffic safety issues for residents, including speeding through stop signs and aggressive driving. As many young children live on and walk along Hatherley Road, there is an urgent need for traffic safety improvements. Through a neighbourhood survey hand-delivered to homes on Hatherley Road, residents voted in strong support of installing speed humps to reduce speeding and improve traffic safety for all residents.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (six speed humps) on Hatherley Road, between Eversfield Road and Harvie Avenue, generally as shown Attachments 2 and 3 to the letter (November 24, 2025) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo. 2. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the north and east sides of Hatherley Road, between the west end of Hatherley Road and Eversfield Road. 3.

Installation of Traffic Calming Measures on Sellers Avenue
Residents on Sellers Avenue have contacted my office to share concerns regarding speeding vehicles travelling through the neighbourhood. Sellers Avenue is located south of Rogers Road and near Dufferin Street and often attracts drivers seeking to bypass traffic on arterial roads. The community has reported serious incidents, including accidents that injured pets, persistent speeding at all hours, and near misses involving children playing outside. Many fear that without action, a serious accident is inevitable. In a survey hand-delivered to homes by my office, residents on Sellers Avenue voted in strong support for the installation of speed humps as a traffic calming measure. This proposed measure will help reduce speeding, combat cut-through traffic, and improve safety for all residents.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (nine speed humps) on Sellers Avenue, between Bloem Avenue and Goodwood Avenue, generally as shown Attachments 2 and 3 to the letter (November 24, 2025) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo. 2.

Improving Traffic Calming Measures on Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Hallam Street
Earlier this summer, Transportation Services and I met with local residents for a neighbourhood walk in the Bloor Street West and Gladstone Avenue area to discuss local community concerns and solutions. A key issue raised was regarding speeding and dangerous driving on Gladstone Avenue in gaps between existing speed hump locations. In 2000, the approved speed hump locations for Gladstone Avenue created a gap of over 90 metres at some locations. Residents are now experiencing the impact of that decision as speeding drivers race towards each speed hump. I am recommending the installation of additional speed humps on this section of Gladstone Avenue to reduce the dangerous gapping and match current City standards for the spacing of speed humps. The additional locations will work alongside speed humps recently installed on Gladstone Avenue north of Hallam Street. Together, these changes will reduce speeding and improve safety for residents and visitors to the neighbourhood.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (three additional speed humps) on Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Hallam Street, generally as shown Attachments 2 and 3 to the letter (November 24, 2025) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo.

Improving Traffic Calming Measures on Salem Avenue
Residents on Salem Avenue have shared their concerns regarding speeding vehicles travelling south from Dupont Street. Currently, there are four speed humps on Salem Avenue, between Hallam Street and Dupont Street. Of the four locations, two speed humps meet the City's spacing guidelines, while two are separated by 90 metres. This gap is located right near a very busy section of Dupont Street, where a number of near misses and accidents have already occurred as drivers increase speeds before reaching the next speed hump. I am recommending the installation of an additional speed hump to close this gap and improve existing traffic calming measures on Salem Avenue. The addition of this location will reduce the distance between the two speed humps to 44 metres, down from 90 metres, in line with the updated traffic calming policy.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (one additional speed hump) on Salem Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Dupont Street, generally as shown Attachments 2, 3 and 4 to the letter (November 24, 2025) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo. 2.

Water Shuttle Pilot - Bathurst Quay Traffic Impact Review
Waterfront Toronto is undertaking a pilot for an east-west water shuttle to test improved east-west mobility within the Toronto harbour. The pilot is planned to be operational for June 2026. One of the three planned stops for the pilot is Portland Slip. Other planned stops include the central waterfront (existing water taxi docks) and Biidaasige Park. Portland Slip is in the Bathurst Quay area, a busy destination and residential community; given this, a land-side traffic impact review and management approach is needed to address any potential local impacts for the proposed new stop at Portland Slip.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Director, Waterfront Secretariat, in consultation with Waterfront Toronto and the Toronto Police Service, to report back to the May 28, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on traffic impacts and management in Bathurst Quay related to Waterfront Toronto's east-west water shuttle pilot.

A New Vision for the Washroom/Fieldhouse at Trinity Bellwoods Park
Following a fire on the weekend of October 25 where the Trinity Bellwoods Park Ravine Fieldhouse/ Washroom Building was significantly damaged, it was determined by City staff that the building needs to be demolished and is beyond repair. Residents and local stakeholders, like the Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Park have had questions and concerns about the building for some time, as it had been out of service for some time. My office has been working closely with these groups and with City staff on improvements to Trinity Bellwoods Park over the past three years and as part of this ongoing work, we should be making a new plan for this site.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to implement a consultation plan with the Ward Councillor and relevant community and internal City stakeholders to review the future of the washroom fieldhouse site at Trinity Bellwoods Park.
