This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on a number of local streets intersecting Bloor Street West in Wards 4, 9 and 11. 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 paid parking spaces 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 on-street paid parking. In addition to the installation of on-street paid parking, Transportation Services is recommending the designation of Commercial Loading Zones (CLZ) to operate at all times, and to be located on Margueretta Street, Carling Avenue and Pauline Street. The proposed CLZs were requested by the local BIA's in order to help off-set the loading/unloading areas lost on Bloor Street West as a result of the cycle track installation. A companion report, titled "Pay-and-Display - Lansdowne Avenue" outlines the required non-delegated parking amendments for a location with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Enacted the parking by-law amendments to establish new on-street paid parking locations and commercial loading zones, as set out in Attachments 2 and 3, to the report (November 3, 2021) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services. 2. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on both sides of St. Clarens Avenue, between Bloor Street West and a point 76.2 metres north. 3. Prohibited parking in effect at all times on the west side of St. Clarens Avenue, between Bloor Street West and a point 76.2 metres north. 4. Prohibited parking in effect at all times on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue, between the first lane North of Bloor Street West and a point 43.2 metres further north. 5. Designated a commercial loading zone to be in effect at all times, on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue, between a point 17 metres north of Bloor Street West and a point 16 metres further north.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on St Clair Avenue West, City Council approval of this report is required. The purpose of this report is to respond to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to review and report back on the realignment of Permit Parking Area 13G to exclude the development located at 898-900 St Clair Avenue West. Staff have determined the realignment of the Permit Parking Area 13G is feasible and has no objections to excluding the development located at 898-900 St Clair Avenue West. If City Council excludes this address from the subject Permit Parking Area, residents and visitors of this address will be prohibited from participating in the on-street permit parking program.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is reporting on the results of the permit parking poll undertaken on Pine Crescent, Glen Ames, Long Crescent, Glen Oak Drive, Balsam Road, Pine Glen Road and Glen Stewart Crescent. As directed by City Council via Item TE8.77, the City Clerk mailed polling ballots to the affected residents to determine their level of support for the removal of the overnight permit parking program from their street. The polling results indicate that, for the above noted streets, the majority of residents on each street voted for the removal of the overnight on-street permit parking program. The removal of 320 on-street permit parking spaces would allow vehicles to park for a maximum period of 3-hours, at all times of the day. As there are 27 active permit holders on the streets noted above, Transportation Services does not support removing the program as 27 residents would no longer be able to park overnight on their respective street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the removal of the overnight on-street permit parking program on Pine Crescent, between Balsam Avenue and Glen Manor Road East. 2. Authorized the removal of the overnight on-street permit parking program on Glen Ames, between Southwood Drive and Lee Avenue. 3. Authorized the removal of the overnight on-street permit parking program on Long Crescent, between Glen Ames and Lee Avenue. 4. Authorized the removal of the overnight on-street permit parking program on Glen Oak Drive, between Norwood Road and the North West corner of Glen Oak Drive. 5.

Implementation of Permit Parking on Davenport Road, between Berryman Street and New Street
At its meeting in July 2021, Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Davenport Road, between Berryman Street and New Street from the requirements City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2021.TE26.80 Subsection 925-4B of Chapter 925, provides that: Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years Davenport Road, between Berryman Street and New Street is presently not licensed for permit parking. Adding this block of Davenport Road to the permit parking program would allow residents to obtain a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park overnight. This item is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended Schedule A of City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate the west side of Davenport Road, between Berryman Street and New Street, as part of area 5E, under the operating hours of 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

Adopting the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA Public Realm Master Plan
The St. Lawrence Business Improvement Area (BIA) is one of the oldest and largest of the 75 BIAs in Toronto. The BIA's mandate is to work cooperatively with its membership, residents and the City to improve the public realm, promote the neighbourhood, and support local businesses. Currently, through negotiations and meetings with stakeholders, they play a very important role in ensuring that new development adheres to strong design principles that support walkability, a strong public realm, and beautification. In 2014, The St. Lawrence BIA began to develop the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA Public Realm Master Plan[1] with consultants, dtah. The document provides an overall vision for the neighbourhood's public spaces, streetscapes, pedestrian connections, and improvements to parks and squares, with implementation coming from both public and private investment. The plan is a comprehensive document that brings together the numerous existing policies and guides such as the King-Parliament Master Plan, St. Lawrence Urban Design Guidelines and the Heritage Interpretation Master Plan. It was informed by extensive community and business input, including site walks, surveys, and meetings with city staff, businesses and other stakeholders. The plan prioritizes roadway and streetscape improvements in addition to a sustainable public space network that can act as a catalyst for private development. It not only supports a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood but reflects the needs of a community through extensive communication and consultation. Through years of consultation and research, the Master Plan reflects the unique needs of community members and businesses in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood. It is a critical planning resource considering the neighbourhood is a significant cultural hub, tourist destination, and heritage community. The BIA currently consults with developers and numerous city divisions to ensure that design plans are aligned with the Public Realm Plan. They have succeeded in influencing the revitalization of Berczy Park and the redesign of Scott Street. I am writing this motion to request that this Master Plan receive the attention and promotion that it requires by Toronto East York Community Council and City Council. Having the plan adopted by TEYCC would allow it to have more significance in future development. It would require developments to adhere to the plan in a more streamlined and regulated process. This is particularly important considering the projects in the pipeline, including the First Parliament Site, and Market Park revitalization. The Master plan is expected to be updated in the coming years, yet in the interim, it would be very beneficial to the neighbourhood, residents and businesses if this version was endorsed by council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to review the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Public Realm Master Plan for consideration when reviewing current and future development applications in the neighbourhood to ensure a cohesive urban design vision, consistent guiding principles and recommendations for high-quality streetscape improvements, and to report back to Toronto East York Community Council in the first quarter of 2022 with any recommendations and comments.

Improvement of Pedestrian Cross Time at Parliament Street and Shuter Street
A petition was submitted to the City of Toronto with over 100 signatures expressing concern for the safety of pedestrians at this intersection. The petition requests the improvement of cross time on the pedestrian countdown signals at Parliament Street and Shuter Street. The current default walk speed at this intersection is 1.0 m/s. Given that this intersection is used by many older pedestrians, there is a need to provide more crossing time in the north-south and east-west directions by reducing the default walk speed to 0.9 m/s.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed staff to provide more crossing time in the north-south and east-west directions at the Shuter and Parliament street intersection by reducing the default walk speed to 0.9 m/s. 2.

Reducing the Speed Limit on Shuter Street between Yonge Street and River Street
A petition was submitted to the City of Toronto with over 100 signatures expressing concern for the safety of pedestrians along this stretch of Shuter Street. The petition requests the reduction of the speed limit along Shuter Street between Yonge and River Streets 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 this stretch will have a positive impact for thousands of residents, and many parents walking their children to and from school.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit along the following roadway to 30 kilometres per hour: Shuter Street between Yonge Street and River Street. 1. 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.

St. Mary of the Angels Catholic School Pick-Up/Drop-Off Zone
My office recently attended an onsite meeting at St. Mary of the Angels Catholic School. In attendance were the Trustee, Superintendent, the Principal of the school, the Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC), and Traffic Operations staff from the City of Toronto. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ongoing concerns about parking at the school, specifically during pick-up and drop-off times. St. Mary of the Angels is located at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Davenport Road. The front of the school faces Dufferin Street and so to avoid traffic and for the safety of the students, parents drop-off their children on Bristol Avenue which is located at the back of the school where parking is prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. In an effort to manage the situation, the school has encouraged families to engage in a "kiss and ride" approach, which works for older students, but does not work for kindergarten parents who have to walk their children to the courtyard between the school before the start of the day. Because of the parking prohibition and without a dedicated pick-up and drop-off zone, many parents have received tickets. As a result, and in consultation with the various stakeholders, I am requesting approval to designate a maximum of 15 minutes to allow parents to park on the west side of Bristol Avenue and provide safe pick-up/drop-off as recommended below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Bristol Avenue, between a point 38 metres south of Davenport Road and a point 70 metres further south, to be in effect between a point 83 metres south of Davenport Road and a point 25 metres further south. 2. Authorized parking for a maximum period of 15 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Bristol Avenue, between a point 38 metres south of Davenport Road and a point 45 metres further south.

Croatia Street - No Vehicle Zone Review
Residents along Brock Avenue have long been concerned about the level of traffic that flows through this residential area from Dufferin Mall and Dufferin Street. Staff's most recent counts revealed that over the busiest eight-hour period of a typical weekday (July 2017), approximately 1,300 eastbound motorists entered Croatia Street from Brock Avenue and 600 westbound motorists exited Croatia Street to Brock Avenue. Motorists are currently cutting across Croatia Street to access Bloor Street West via Brock Avenue. As part of the planned redevelopment of 1141 Bloor Street West, Pauline Avenue will be extended (at a new signal), south to Croatia Street from Bloor Street West. Once the new north/south roadway is established, it presents a further opportunity make the area to the east of it safer and more pedestrian friendly by closing a section of roadway. This measure will serve to keep traffic away from neighbourhood area and provide safe crossing for students from the new school being constructed on the northeast corner of Croatia Street and Brock Avenue to the playing field on the southeast corner. For these reasons I am requesting your support to investigate the permanent closure to vehicular traffic of Croatia Street from Brock Avenue to the extension of Pauline Avenue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and to report back on the feasibility of permanently closing Croatia Street, from Brock Avenue to the extension of Pauline Avenue, to vehicular traffic.

No Stopping on St. Clarens Avenue between St. Clair Avenue West and Joseph Deleo Lane
My office recently received a request to have the parking regulations on St. Clarens Avenue between St. Clair Avenue West and Joseph Deleo Lane amended to "No Stopping." The proposal would improve sightlines and safety at the laneway in addition to the intersection as well as provide clear access to the fire hydrant on this stretch of road. Having consulted with Traffic Operations staff, I am requesting that parking on St. Clarens Avenue between St. Clair Avenue West and Joseph Deleo Lane be amended as follows.

Speed Limit Reductions on and around Rosedale Valley Road
Residents on either side of Rosedale Valley Road have shared concerns about the number of speeding vehicles along this stretch. Due to the road classification system, we are unable to install speed humps along this road, but my office will work with staff to explore and learn how to amend the existing classification in the months ahead to support an even safer configuration on Rosedale Valley Road and the surrounding area. While working on this, we can take a step that has been shown through countless studies to have saved lives without the presence of enforcement and reduce serious injury, by lowering the speed limit on Aylmer Avenue and Rosedale Valley Road from 50km/h to 40km/h. There will undoubtedly still be those who choose to put their lives and that of others in danger by speeding, but this reduction is integral to controlling the top speed of all other road users and protecting the most vulnerable adjacent to and on our roads. I welcome the future addition of automated speed and noise enforcement along this stretch to protect the ongoing health and safety of all road users and adjacent neighbours.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 kilometres per hour on Rosedale Valley Road, between Severn Street and Bayview Avenue. 2. Reduced the speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 kilometres per hour on Aylmer Avenue, between Yonge Street and Severn Street.

Heritage Evaluation of 320-326 Bloor Street West
There are a series of properties along Bloor which have been brought to my attention as they are in need of review as shared by the Annex Residents' Association Heritage Committee Chair. These properties are located in the heart of the Annex neighbourhood, adjacent to the East Annex Heritage Conservation District, the Madison Avenue Heritage Conservation District and the forthcoming West Annex Heritage Conservation District. These properties comprise a portion of a submission for a Zoning By-Law Amendment Application that was submitted to the City Planning Division for the north-east corner of Spadina and Bloor, spanning the properties of 320-332 Bloor St W. The Annex is an area with distinct heritage considerations and districts and a rich architectural history. As a part of its history, the Annex has been at the forefront of balancing downtown intensification and the protection of historical neighbourhoods. Its unique location has created a mixture of commercial and residential styles, including low-rise mixed use buildings, such as these, fronting on Bloor Street West.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Director, Heritage Planning - City Planning, to evaluate the Registered Properties at 320 Bloor Street West, 322 Bloor Street West, 324 Bloor Street West and 326 Bloor Street West for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and to report to the Toronto Preservation Board, Toronto East York Community Council and City Council.

Pedestrian Scramble Review and Bloor and Yonge
The Pedestrian Priority Phase (also known as the pedestrian scramble phase) at the intersection of Yonge Street and Bloor Street is one of the enhanced pedestrian features included in the City's Sustainable Transportation Initiatives, and supports the policies and objectives contained in the City's Official Plan and TransformTO's climate action strategies around transportation. However, members of the neighbourhood have raised that the changing context at Yonge and Bloor raises some concerns for the safety of vulnerable road users, and community and business organizations have expressed concerns about the flow of vehicular traffic through the intersection. Some of these recent changes include the ActiveTO cycle track installation on Bloor and Yonge, upcoming construction at the Yonge-Bloor subway station, and the general impacts of COVID-19 on traffic and all modes of transportation throughout the city. While it is not the intention of this inquiry to eliminate the scramble, I do want to ensure it remains relevant to our goals to protect the safety of our most vulnerable road users and to make adjustments if there are flaws.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake an updated review of the Yonge/Bloor Pedestrian Priority Phase intersection, and to provide recommendations for changes, if warranted, to the signal operations.

Additional Speed Hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road
I am writing to request your support in installing an additional speed hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road. Despite the existing speed humps, speeding is a major problem on a section of the street, especially between nos. 176 and 244 Hillsdale Avenue East due to an inadequate number of speed humps on that section. Traffic Operations staff visited the location, and identified that it is feasible to install an additional hump in the vicinity of nos. 226 and 227 Hillsdale Avenue East to address the speeding and safety concerns.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement and authorize the installation of one additional traffic calming speed hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Hillsdale Avenue East, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3963, dated October 2021, from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, Toronto.
