Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Geary Avenue Properties
This report recommends that City Council include six properties on Geary Avenue with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. All of the recommended properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register and are considered significant heritage resources. This report also presents the methodology and results of the Geary Avenue Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) including community consultation. The following six properties were identified through the Geary Avenue Planning Study and its related CHRA: 44 Geary Avenue 46 Geary Avenue 80 Geary Avenue 165 Geary Avenue 288 Geary Avenue, including 300 Geary Avenue 329 Geary Avenue The Geary Avenue corridor is an employment neighbourhood in Toronto's West End that has evolved from a mixture of industrial/warehouse space and automotive uses to one that is now a burgeoning hub for creative enterprises, offices, commercial and retail uses, in addition to light industrial and automotive uses. Rapidly increasing land prices, land use regulations, and development and growth pressures have raised concern for the continued viability of many of these small businesses and creative enterprises. City Planning initiated Geary Works: a comprehensive study and community vision with Economic Development and Culture in April 2019. Geary Works Planning Study and City-Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment - Final Report were recently adopted by Council in July 2021. Geary Avenue is a 1.2-kilometer street located on the north side of the Canadian Pacific (CP) rail corridor, between Ossington Avenue and Primrose Avenue. The City of Toronto, and the Geary Avenue area within it, have been inhabited by Indigenous peoples for millennia. The streets that would become Geary Avenue were laid out in two separate subdivisions planned by different developers in the mid-1880s on farmlands northwest of the expanding city of Toronto. The area was annexed by the City of Toronto on January 10, 1910. Within five years of annexation, most of Geary Avenue east of Dufferin Street had been developed. Stores and houses located on the north side of the street while industry and a hydro corridor were located on the south side adjacent to the railway tracks. Industrial and commercial growth continued, and by 1975 an industrial survey of the Dufferin-Davenport area documented that approximately two dozen firms were located either on or abutting Geary Avenue. The area's industrial base was devastated in the 1980s and 1990s as businesses closed or relocated. The area is now in a period of transition, particularly west of Dufferin Street where newer creative and cultural enterprises have settled in the area. The six properties being recommended for inclusion on the Heritage Register in this report reflect the evolution of Geary Avenue from a neighbourhood main street to a location for industry over the first half of the twentieth century. They have been determined to have heritage value relating to their design, physical, historical and contextual values. Ranging from early commercial main street and industrial properties to industrial buildings from the late 1940s, the Geary Avenue properties have direct associations with important Canadian business histories, and with Toronto's beloved Santa Claus parade. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following six properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 44 Geary Avenue 46 Geary Avenue 80 Geary Avenue 165 Geary Avenue 288 Geary Avenue, including 300 Geary Avenue 329 Geary Avenue.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 1007 Craven Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property with the owner. The property at 1007 Craven Road contains the internationally renowned and award-winning Craven Road House and Studio (1993-6 and 2004-6, respectively). Shim-Sutcliffe Architects Inc. designed the house and studio owned by Robert G. Hill, Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The house received a Governor General's Award in 1997 and the studio was recognized with a Governor General's Medal in 2010. Robert G. Hill creator of the Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada, 1800-1950 has received national and international recognition for his contribution to architectural scholarship and history and has received numerous awards. Hill commissioned Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliff to realize the project. Brigitte Shim and A. Howard Sutcliffe are Members of the Order of Canada and RAIC Gold Medalists. The Toronto-based partnership, known as Shim-Sutcliffe Architects Inc. have received fifteen Governor General's Awards and Medals as well as other awards for their work as architects and educators, which has achieved global recognition through publications, exhibitions and a documentary film. Since completion, the house and studio and their landscaped setting have been extensively published in Canada and internationally and are widely acclaimed as proof that architectural excellence through meticulous design standards can be achieved on a tight budget and at a compact scale. In May of 2021, Robert G. Hill, the owner of the property, contacted the local ward councillor requesting that his property at 1007 Craven Road be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and further protected through a Heritage Easement Agreement. Robert G. Hill, Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliff, have generously provided access to the project archival records and journals and have shared their insights and recollections of the property with Heritage Planning staff. Following city staff's research and evaluation of the property under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the property at 1007 Craven Road merits designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual values.

Traffic and Safety Conditions Review of the North Riverdale Neighbourhood
Residents of the North Riverdale neighbourhood have expressed concerns with traffic operations in their neighbourhood. Common concerns relate to speeding, cut-through traffic, vehicle traffic volumes, and safety of pedestrians. The purpose of this report is to respond to Toronto and East York Community Council's request to investigate measures that could improve traffic management and safety in the area, with particular interest for improvements near the Hogarth Avenue and Ingham Avenue intersection. A traffic and safety conditions review was conducted to examine the physical characteristics, travel behaviours and traffic operations in the North Riverdale neighbourhood, defined for the purposes of this study as the street network in the area bounded by Withrow Avenue to the south, Broadview Avenue to the west, Danforth Avenue to the north, and Logan Avenue to the east. Best available traffic data indicates that the majority of road users comply with regulatory speed limits, and the volume of vehicles is within the level appropriate for their classification as local roads. Several interventions have been implemented to encourage preferred driver behaviours, including a speed limit reduction on all local roads, restriction to one-way travel on most roads in the neighbourhood, crossing guards on school routes, pedestrian crossovers, speed humps, curb extensions and all-way stop controls at the majority of intersections. There may be immediate opportunities to improve sightlines through by-law enforcement, and opportunities to narrow lane widths by placing mobility infrastructure such as bike parking corrals or bike share stations. Future possibilities include realignment of intersections, installation of a missing sidewalk, installation of speed humps, and implementation of one-way road configurations. Information about how these possibilities can be pursued, including an example option for "one-way maze" road configuration are included in the report. It is recommended that Toronto and East York Community Council receive this for information.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Received the report (September 23, 2021) from the Director, Planning and Capital Program, Transportation Services, for information.

Request to Name 149 Bleecker St. to Bleecker Parkette
On October 17, 2019, Councillor Wong-Tam on behalf of the Winchester Park Residents' Association submitted a Naming or Renaming an Existing application to name a City park at 149 Bleecker St., identified as the north portion of Winchester Park to Bleecker Parkette. This naming proposal meets the criteria outlined in the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy. Further this naming request, although not subject to the moratorium under the Dundas Street Petition, has been reviewed by the Recognition Review team as not honorific in nature and therefore can proceed with renaming. The Ward Councillor, local Business Improvement Area (BIA) and area residents believe that naming this portion of parkland would provide a unique identifier that would enhance the parks identity and community safety. The public consultation to name this park was open to City of Toronto residents and included the installation of a temporary sign at 149 Bleecker St. that raised awareness of the renaming and included information about the online public survey. The survey received 14 applicable responses, with the majority (71 percent) in favour of the park naming.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Adopted the naming of the property located at 149 Bleecker Street to Bleecker Parkette.
