Quayside Infrastructure and Public Realm Project (Phase 2) - Construction Staging Area
As Queens Quay East is a major arterial road, City Council approval of this report is required. Waterfront Toronto is delivering development enabling infrastructure and public space in the Quayside precinct bounded by Lake Shore Boulevard to the north, Bonnycastle Street to the west, Lake Ontario to the south and the Victory Soya Mills Silos to the east under the Quayside Infrastructure and Public Realm (QIPR) project. The QIPR project will realign Parliament Street, extend Queens Quay east to the Silos, normalize the Parliament Street and Queens Quay East intersection, deliver necessary servicing connections and improve Bonnycastle Street and Small Street. The QIPR implementation will unlock development parcels that include commitments for affordable housing and deliver much needed public realm improvements to the area. As a result, there will be a realignment and lane reconfiguration of Queens Quay East, from Lower Sherbourne Street to Parliament Street. At its meeting on May 21, 2025, City Council authorized the: - Temporary closure of the north sidewalk and a portion of the westbound curb lane on Queens Quay East, between Small Street and Bonnycastle Street; and - Temporary closure of Small Street to all road users, between Lake Shore Boulevard East and Queens Quay East for a period of 16 months, from June 2, 2025 to October 4, 2026. The delivery of servicing connections and improvements to Small Street are currently underway. The next phase of construction includes the realignment of Parliament Street and extension of Queens Quay East which requires the closure of the Martin Goodman Trail in the vicinity of Parliament Street to accommodate the construction of the new roadways and associated public realm. As a result, a temporary and protected bi-direction bicycle lane will be implemented in the existing boulevard area of the northbound curb lane on Parliament Street. The existing pedestrian sidewalk on the east side of Parliament Street will continue to be maintained. Under the existing staging plan, vehicle lane capacity will be maintained with no changes required Due to a delay in the Release for Construction and changes in scope for the work, the existing construction staging on Small Street and Queens Quay are required to be extended to complete the works in those areas. Therefore, Transportation Services is requesting authorization for the following: - Temporary detour of the Martin Goodman Trail on Parliament Street, between Merchant's Wharf and Lake Shore Boulevard East and; - Temporary closure of the east side boulevard on Parliament Street between Merchant's Wharf and Lake Shore Boulevard East and the provision of a temporary bi-direction bicycle lane for a period of 9 months between April 22, 2026 and December 31, 2026 - Extension of the existing temporary closure of the north sidewalk and a portion of the westbound curb lane on Queens Quay East, between Small Street and Bonnycastle Street from October 4, 2026 to December 31, 2026; and - Extension of the existing temporary closure of Small Street to all road users, between Lake Shore Boulevard East and Queens Quay East from October 4, 2026 to December 31, 2026. As there are no changes to vehicle lane capacity, a new traffic impact study has not been conducted.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1.

PEM (Yorkville) Holdings Inc. has undertaken the construction of a 68-storey mixed-used development and a 42-story residential condominium building at 33 Yorkville Avenue and 50 Cumberland Street, respectively. The south sidewalk and a portion of the eastbound curb lane on Yorkville Avenue, and the north sidewalk and a portion of the eastbound lane on Cumberland Street is currently closed for construction staging operations. By way of background, Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on February 5, 2020, approved the subject construction staging area on Yorkville Avenue and Cumberland Street from March 1, 2020 to May 31, 2024. At a later Toronto and East York Community Council meeting on July 10, 2024, the developer requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Yorkville Avenue and on Cumberland Street. The extension request was due to delays caused by transfer of ownership that impacted the original construction schedule and onsite construction activities did not start until February 2021. At the meeting, although the developer has proposed an extension to be in effect from August 1, 2024 until February 1, 2027, the Council instead authorized a reduced period, concluding on January 31, 2026. The developer is now requesting an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Yorkville Avenue and on Cumberland Street, to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.

53-55 Yonge Street - Construction Staging Area Time Extension
As Yonge Street is classified as a major arterial street, City Council approval of this report is required. H&R REIT is demolishing the properties at 53 and 55 Yonge Street in preparation for a future development. The site is located on the east side of Yonge Street, between Wellington Street East and Colborne Street. At its meeting on July 23 and 24, 2025, City Council authorized the: - Temporary closure of a portion of the east sidewalk and northbound curb lane of Yonge Street between Wellington Street East and Colborne Street, for a period of 10 months, from July 28, 2025 to May 1, 2026; and - Temporary closure of a portion of the south sidewalk and eastbound curb lane on Colborne Street between Yonge Street and Scott Street, for a period of 10 months, from July 28, 2025 to May 1, 2026. The above noted construction staging area overlaps with the existing staging by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Easier Access project for the King Station until May 2026. Due to delays in establishing construction staging area delineation between the two constructors, the construction start date was delayed and a time extension is required. TTC has confirmed that the TTC Easier Access project for the King Station is expected to be complete by May 1, 2026. Therefore, the developer has requested to adjust the existing staging area for the demolition work after May 1, 2026, once TTC has demobilized and removed their existing construction staging. The result is that the developer will take over a portion of the existing TTC construction staging area so that the existing footprint is no longer shared between both constructors. Pedestrians will continue to be redirected from the east side of Yonge Street to the opposite sidewalk. Pedestrian movements on the south side of Colborne Street will be redirected to the north side. Transportation Services is requesting authorization for the following: - Extension of the temporary closure of a portion of the east sidewalk and northbound curb lane of Yonge Street between Wellington Street East and Colborne Street, for a period of three months, from May 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026; and -Extension of the temporary closure of a portion of the south sidewalk and eastbound curb lane on Colborne Street between Yonge Street and Scott Street for a period of three months, from May 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

Safety Improvements on Davenport Road, Cottingham Road, Poplar Plains Road, and Macpherson Avenue
This report seeks Community Council approval for several traffic operations changes and bylaw amendments to improve safety along Davenport Road, Cottingham Road, Poplar Plains Road, and Macpherson Avenue. The proposed design includes safety improvements to two intersections and one mid-block change as listed below: - Poplar Plains Road between Cottingham Road and Boulton Drive: several proposed amendments to facilitate a new parking lane along the west side of Poplar Plains Road between Cottingham Road and Boulton Drive. - Davenport Road and Glen Edyth Drive and Cottingham Road: installation of a compulsory stop control southbound on Glen Edyth Drive at Cottingham Road to facilitate the realignment of this intersection. - Davenport Road and Poplar Plains Road and Macpherson Avenue: installation of traffic control signals and rescinding the existing westbound compulsory right-turn only limitation to create a normalized four-leg intersection with most movements (left-turn, right-turn and through) permitted. The existing southbound left-turn prohibition would remain due to geometric constraints. Together, the proposed changes would improve safety though clear direction for people driving through intersections and would support new safe connections and crossings for pedestrians and people cycling.
