For more than 30 years, Heather McGregor has been the CEO of Toronto's YWCA, a key Toronto charity that supports women. Their head office, at 87 Elm St., backs onto a walkway between Edward Street and Elm Street that is an extension of Chestnut Street. Ms McGregor is about to retire. The YWCA has requested that the walkway be renamed Heather McGregor Way, in recognition of her extraordinary service to the women of Toronto. As the request was received late and the necessary public notice must be provided, I am requesting Toronto and East York Community Council direct staff to report to its April 1, 2026 meeting with recommendations to rename a section of Chestnut Street to Heather McGregor Way.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Director, Engineering Support Services, Engineering and Construction Services to bring forward a report to the April 1, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommendations concerning the proposed renaming of the section of Chestnut Street between Edward Street and Elm Street to Heather McGregor Way.

Renaming Lawton Parkette in Honour of Carolyn Bennett
In July 2022, City Council adopted the City of Toronto Commemorative Framework to guide the commemorative naming and renaming of streets, City properties, and monuments. This report considers an application submitted by Ward 12 (Toronto-St. Paul's) City Councillor Josh Matlow to rename Lawton Parkette, located at 1600 Yonge Street, in honour of Dr. Carolyn Bennett. The application was reviewed collaboratively by Parks and Recreation, Economic Development and Culture, and Strategic Partnerships. Staff have confirmed that the proposed renaming meets the requirements of the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy and aligns with the Guiding Principles for Commemoration. Staff therefore recommend approval of the proposed name, "Carolyn Bennett Park."
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Adopt the renaming of Lawton Parkette at 1600 Yonge Street to "Carolyn Bennett Park".

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect on the south side of Dewbourne Avenue, from Chiltern Hill Road to Glen Cedar Road. Dewbourne Avenue residents have requested that this parking prohibition be rescinded, citing the difficulty of finding parking on their street. The prohibition was installed to deter Metrolinx construction workers from parking on Dewbourne Avenue and is no longer required. With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the parking reforms they have been organizing for.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing the parking prohibition in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Dewbourne Avenue, between Glen Cedar Road and Chiltern Hill Road.

Glebe Road East Parking Amendments
I respectfully request your support for my motion to establish a drop-off and pick-up area on the north side Glebe Road East, to improve student access to The Study Academy's Lower School. The Study Academy's Lower School serves neurodivergent students between the ages of 8 and 13 years old. My office has heard from parents that students face accessibility and safety challenges during the morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up periods, exacerbated by the proximity to Yonge Street and increased local congestion. A safe and accessible pick-up and drop-off zone is essential to ensure students can arrive at and leave school with greater ease and security. With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the parking reforms they have been organizing for.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1.

Queen Street East Replacement Parking
The Queen Street Watermain and TTC Track Replacement project has required the temporary removal of 25 paid parking spaces between Davies and Broadview Avenues to support construction staging and traffic management. The area has already faced significant parking, and traffic impacts due to earlier emergency watermain work. The continued occupation of parking spaces despite construction delays, and the lack of proactive planning for replacement parking, has created ongoing concerns for residents and the local Business Improvement Areas (BIA). Staff have since identified potential temporary replacement parking on Davies Avenue and Hamilton Street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on the east side of Davies Avenue between a point 30 metres north of Queen Street East and Thompson Street. 2.

Improving a Commercial Loading Zone on Margueretta Street
A business near Margueretta Street and Bloor Street West operates a commercial driveway on the west side of the property that provides access to a boulevard parking space and waste collection bins. The owner of this business has shared that there are significant issues with illegally parked vehicles impeding access to the front of their commercial driveway. Commercial collection bins located near this driveway must also be frequently collected by large private vehicles, but blocked vehicles have prevented this service. The lack of waste collection is resulting in pest issues as bins overflow and has impacted the cleanliness of the area. Transportation Services recommends a no stopping prohition at all times on the east side of Margueretta Street directly adjacent to the commercial driveway used to access this business' parking space and waste collection bins. These proposed improvements will better prevent illegal parking, restore access to boulevard parking spaces, and return proper waste collection by maintaining curbside access.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking machines on the east side of Margueretta Street, between a point 26 metres north of Bloor Street West and a point 50.2 metres further north, in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday; and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, at a rate of $3.00 per hour for a maximum period of three hours. 2. Authorized the installation of parking machines on the east side of Margueretta Street, between a point 26 metres north of Bloor Street West and a point 10 metres further north, in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday; and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, at a rate of $3.00 per hour for a maximum period of three hours. 3.

Improving a Commercial Loading Zone on St. Clarens Avenue
I have heard from business owners about the challenges they are experiencing with an existing commercial loading zone on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue just north of Bloor Street West. These business owners have shared that the loading zone is not sufficient in length to meet local demands and that parked vehicles on the west side of St. Clarens Avenue impede traffic when the loading zone is in use. A site visit in October confirmed problems with this commercial loading zone and potential solutions. Transportation Services recommends extending the community loading zone by 5 metres south and implementing a no-standing regulation at all times on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue as solutions. These proposed amendments will provide additional space for commercial vehicles, deter curbside parking, and improve traffic flow on St. Clarens Avenue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of St. Clarens Avenue, between Bloor Street West and a point 76.2 metres north. 2.

Improving Permit Parking on Hallam Street
In September 2025, a new cycling connection was installed on Hallam Street, between Dufferin Street and Bartlett Avenue, as a response to resident requests through the Wallace-Emerson Neighbourhood Streets Plan. The Hallam Street cycle track provides a safe connection and enhances the bikeway network across this community. As a result of this connection, on-street parking availability was reduced on the south side of Hallam Street. To improve parking availability for the community, residents and Transportation Services identified a no-parking area on Hallam Street that can be converted into visitor parking and overnight permit parking spaces. An amendment to this parking regulation will provide spaces for those with accessibility needs and up to seven parking spaces for visitors and residents. The proposed parking amendments will not impact neaby Dovercourt Public School or student safety. Additionally, a review by Transportation Services determined that a request for an accessible parking space on Hallam Street is warranted. The review also identified inconsistencies in the traffic by-law related to currently signed parking regulations that must be corrected.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Hallam Street, between a point 9 metres west of Bartlett Avenue and a point 47.5 metres further west. 2. Authorized an on-street accessible parking space to be in effect at all times on the north side of Hallam Street, between a point 30.5 metres east of Dufferin Street and a point 5.5 metres further east. 3. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except no parking anytime from a point 30 metres west of Dovercourt Road to a point 5.5 metres further west, on the even (north) side of Hallam Street from Dovercourt Road to Westmoreland Avenue. 4. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except no parking anytime from a point 35 metres east of Bartlett Avenue to a point 5.5 metres further east and except no parking anytime from a point 29.3 metres west of Westmoreland to a point 5.5 metres further west, on the odd (south) side of Hallam Street from Westmoreland Avenue to Bartlett Avenue. 5.

Improving Traffic Safety at Gladstone Avenue and Bloor Street West
Last summer, I joined local residents for a neighbourhood walk in the Gladstone Avenue and Bloor Street West area to discuss traffic safety issues impacting the community. I heard directly from residents about the impact of visitors and food delivery drivers illegally parking on the east and west sides of Gladstone Avenue, north of Bloor Street West. This section of Gladstone Avenue is a two-way road, and parked vehicles limit visibility and access for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. Parked vehicles also increase the risk of collisions as drivers are forced to enter northbound and southbound traffic to maneuver out of the area. As a solution, Transportation Services is recommending a no-stopping prohibition on Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and the first laneway further north. This proposed parking improvement will deter illegal parking, clear access for drivers, and improve safety for all road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on the west side of Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and a point 12 meters north. 2. Prohibited stopping at all times on the west side of Gladstone Avenue, between a point 34 metres north of Bloor Street West and a point 14 meters further north. 3.

Parking Amendments - Sheppard Street, between Richmond Street West and Adelaide Street West
My office has heard from local residents concerned about conflicting parking regulations on Sheppard Street between Richmond Street West and Adelaide Street West. I requested a review from Traffic Operations, which identified several safety and operational issues related to the narrow pavement width, two‑way traffic, and vehicles parking on both sides of the street. When cars park too close to intersections, they reduce visibility for both pedestrians and approaching drivers. Parked vehicles also force motorists to move into oncoming traffic to pass, and they hinder snow clearing and street‑cleaning operations. To eliminate conflicting regulations and ensure that Toronto Police Service can issue tickets accurately and fairly, the proposed parking amendments will correct signage inconsistencies, improve sightlines for pedestrian and driver safety, and support better traffic flow for all road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing maximum 20 minute delivery vehicle parking zone designation in effect from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, on the west side of Sheppard Street, between a point 9 metres south of Richmond Street West and a point 21 metres further south. 2.

Speed Limit Reduction - King Street West, between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue
My office has heard from local residents, including those on Joe Shuster Way abutting King and Dufferin, following a neighbourhood safety walk, who had concerns with speeding in their neighbourhood. A field investigation conducted by Traffic Operations found that there are no speed limit signs posted on King Street West between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue. Upon further review, it was determined that there's currently no speed limit by-law for this section of King Street West, therefore, it operates under the default unsigned speed limit of 50 km/h. However, King Street West east of Strachan Avenue and west of Dufferin Street is by-lawed/posted with a 40 km/h speed limit. To ensure consistency with the majority of King Street West and to help reduce vehicle speeds along this segment, the speed limit should be reduced to 40 km.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council designate a 40 kilometres per hour speed limit on King Street West, between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue.

On October 22, 2022, the Toronto Police Service was called to Billy Bishop Airport, just before 4pm, to investigate a suspicious package attached to a bicycle on the mainland side of the airport. A tweet from Toronto Police identified it as "a potential explosive device". Residential buildings near the ferry terminal were evacuated, and residents were not permitted to return back home until after midnight. The neighbourhood was locked down. The suspicious package turned out to be an additional battery pack on an electric bike. While the community was relieved that it was not a real threat, the way in which the crisis was managed and the lack of communication led many in the community to feel shaken and unsafe. In response, and with the strong advocacy of the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Association, The Emergency Response Framework for Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport was formed and the BQNA Community Response Handbook was developed. My office has worked closely with neighbours and City staff to ensure this handbook is reflective of community feedback and can be a safety resource for all in the neighbourhood. This handbook is intended to be a "living document" and will need to be reviewed throughout the future as the neighbourhood evolves. My recommendation is aimed at ensuring there is a regular and reliable space for the community to be consulted on future updates and improvements to the handbook so it can continue to be reflective of feedback from residents of Bathurst Quay.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Executive Director, Toronto Emergency Management to meet annually with the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Association, to solicit and integrate feedback and improvements on the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Community Response Handbook.

Framework for Event Permitting at Bathurst Quay Common
In 2024 Bathurst Quay Common, a new local park, opened at the historic Canada Malting Silos property in the heart of the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood. Bathurst Quay Common provides approximately 4,000 square metres of park space and features a multi-purpose plaza that can accommodate special events and cultural programming. The Malting Silos have been fully rehabilitated and are used for programming and projections, with plans for OCAD to utilize the site. In 2026, a new arts and cultural centre operated by the non-profit Canada Ireland Foundation will open within the heart of the park. The 'Corleck Building' will function as a four-season waterfront hub for community, artistic and cultural programming in a restored heritage building. Canada Ireland Foundation will be conducting extensive programming at the Corleck and Bathurst Quay Common in the future. To ensure that programming is coordinated at the site including events at the Corleck building, events programmed by Canada Ireland Foundation at Bathurst Quay Common, and other public permitting of Bathurst Quay Common and the Silos, Parks and Recreation staff should develop a framework for permitting at this site.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to develop a framework for event permitting at Bathurst Quay Common and Silos, coordinated with Canada Ireland Foundation and Ontario College of Art and Design, in consultation with the local Councillor, and report back to April 1, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Ontario Line Gertrude Gate Conditions
In January, TEYCC approved my motion requesting that Metrolinx host an in‑person meeting with the community affected by the Gertrude Place Gate to discuss ongoing concerns related to truck access on Gertrude Place. At the in‑person meeting on February 11th, it was acknowledged that continued use of the Danforth gate remains operationally feasible, though it would require on‑site backing maneuvers and a flag person, resulting in longer processing times and higher project costs. Given these trade‑offs, it is essential that the contractor operate as a good neighbour to the surrounding community. The recommendations put forward by residents are intended to meaningfully reduce the impacts of what will be a long‑term, highly intrusive construction site, and careful review and implementation of these measures will help ensure that daily operations are carried out with respect for the neighbourhood that will be living beside this work for years to come. In light of these concerns, I am requesting that the following measures be implemented as part of the permit conditions granting truck access to Gertrude Place.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to include the following as a condition of permit granting Metrolinx trucks access to Gertrude Place: a. require submission of a detailed truck staging and traffic management plan demonstrating safe and orderly truck operations as vehicles exist Gertrude Place onto Pape Avenue; b. require Metrolinx to fund and provide paid-duty officers, flag persons and any additional on-site personnel necessary to manage traffic operations safely and efficiently; c. require all hauling trucks associated with the site display clear and visible project identification signage; d. require regular street washing and debris removal along affected routes, with a cleaning schedule provided to affected residents and the local Councillor; e. require continued snow clearing and winter maintenance measure to ensure safe access and operations throughout the winter season; and f. designated site contact information for public inquiries and complaints. 2. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to include the following as a condition of permit granting Metrolinx trucks access to Gertrude Place: a. assess and report on appropriate acoustic mitigation measures, including the feasibility and effectiveness of increasing the height of the existing sound wall, and to implement appropriate measures, as required; b. implement enforceable site protocols to minimize unnecessary honking and avoidable noise disturbances. c. provide weekly advance notice to affected residents outlining anticipated truck volumes, including a daily breakdown of expected truck movements and identification of anticipated peak activity periods for each day; d. confirm the methodology used to calculate the projected average number of trucks per day; e. host weekly in-person Community Liaison Committee meetings during the first month of gate operations, including neighbourhood walkthroughs with residents and City staff, and report back after one month on whether such meetings should remain separate from the Pape-Danforth Community Liaison Committee; and f. explore mitigation measures for affected residents during the most intrusive phases of construction, including by not limited to window cleaning services, and vehicle cleaning support, establish clear criteria for eligibility. 3. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to include the following as a condition of permit granting Metrolinx trucks access to Gertrude Place: a. request that a month prior to any operations of the use of Gertrude Gate for hauling that Metrolinx be required to review permit conditions with the affected residents; and b. request that Metrolinx host an in-person meeting one month after operations begin with neighbours, senior staff from Metrolinx leading the meeting and Transportation Services in attendance to review the first month of operations of the gate and effectiveness of mitigation measures and conditions.

Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Transportation Study
The Bathurst Quay neighbourhood is a busy destination and residential community that continues to see growth. Residents continue to express concerns related to traffic and pedestrian safety, particularly at the intersections of Bathurst Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard and Eireann Quay and Queens Quay Boulevard. The last set of studies were conducted to inform the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan and associated Official Plan Amendment, which were adopted by City Council in July 2017. Since then the City has completed Bathurst Quay Common, a new park including the restored Malting Silos, and work is ongoing within the Corleck building, which will be a new signature destination celebrating Irish culture and heritage. There have also been significant development proposals along Queens Quay. Further, the waterfront is a venue for large special events that are hosted throughout the year. The neighbourhood is also home to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and is proposed to be the landing pad for the Hoverlink proposal. It is also a planned stop for the City and Waterfront Toronto east west water taxi shuttle pilot (3-5 years in duration). As noted in prior motions adopted by Toronto and East York Community Council, staff will be assessing the transportation impacts of these new marine proposals. Given the transformation of the neighbourhood since the adoption of the Neighbourhood Plan and the growth anticipated in the coming years, City Council should direct staff to undertake a comprehensive multi-modal transportation study and road safety audit to establish baseline mobility conditions. The study will identify transportation pressures, pedestrian safety concerns, modal conflicts, and operational gaps, and will inform short-term improvements and longer-term mobility planning for the area. City staff have noted that this proposed transportation study can be funded through the existing approved Waterfront Revitalization Capital Budget.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Director, Waterfront Secretariat, in consultation with Transportation Planning, City Planning and Transportation Services, to undertake a comprehensive multi-modal transportation study and road safety audit of Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood to understand baseline mobility conditions and report back in the third quarter of 2027 on the preliminary findings and recommended next steps.
