Fairford Avenue Speed Limit Reduction
I am writing to you today to request your support for reducing the speed limit on Fairford Avenue, which runs between Coxwell and Woodfield Road. This street has already received a number of traffic calming treatments that mean that the road design is much more in line with a residential street. It also runs right by Roden Public School. I look forward to your support for this measure to help slow down traffic.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Designated a 30 km/h speed limit on Fairford Avenue, between Woodfield Road and Coxwell Avenue.

Asquith-Collier Neighbourhood Mobility Plan Request
Residents in the area bounded by Bloor Street, Mt. Pleasant Boulevard, Rosedale Valley Road, Park Road, Collier Street, Church Street, and Yonge Street, or summarized as the Asquith-Collier Neighbourhood have raised a number of concerns as it relates to the safety of vulnerable road users coming through this busy, construction filled area. The issues that have been regularly raised concern drivers speeding at off-peak times, and stand-still traffic at peak times, dangerous movement of vehicles and the volume created by current road alignment, general parking availability, and people parking their vehicle illegally. Residents are concerned that the influx of multiple, new, high density residential buildings will work create a hazardous experience in the area as more residents will be using the sidewalks and road infrastructure. Having City staff work to review current conditions, anticipate future needs and suggest potential recommendations to alleviate pressures and make the area safer would be a step to get ahead of the forthcoming issues. My office has been hosting regular meetings with the local area residents, and forwarding their concerns to staff, but the types of interventions that residents are looking to take hold cannot be addressed by painting a new line on the road, or adding another sign. The movement of traffic in particular needs to be approached holistically. Without a neighbourhood-wide plan through this integral junction for the City's traffic movement, we risk creating further issues when we attempt to solve the problems individually.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested that the General Manager, Transportation Services prepare a neighbourhood mobility plan for the Asquith-Collier neighbourhood, bounded by Bloor Street, Mount Pleasant Boulevard, Rosedale Valley Road, Park Road, Collier Street, Church Street, and Yonge Street, with consideration of both existing conditions and anticipated future conditions, to determine what changes to the streets may be appropriate to improve the safety and mobility of all road users.

The following recommendations are set out to support and allow for the below portion of Parliament Street to be transformed into a ten-week outdoor public realm festival. The street will be animated with natural features to completely redesign the space with logs, stones, tree canopy and other natural features. The goal of this project is to create a safe, natural, and comfortable public realm destination in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood and to foster a high-quality shopping and dining destination to accelerate the economic recovery of the small businesses affected by the pandemic. The Cabbagetown BIA (CBIA) is the host neighbourhood of this festival and strongly supports this initiative as an important step in helping the local business community redefine itself by establishing a bold new summertime experience. By repurposing existing street parking spots into vibrant, usable park space, the Cabbagetown BIA is supporting the creation of new public spaces for the community and stimulating economic activity in the downtown east. Designed by Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds, Cabbagetown Naturescape will comprise of five interactive natural parklette islands that will incorporate natural elements into the landscape and add placemaking opportunities, programming spaces and additional seating for residents and businesses. The Cabbagetown Naturescape project is co-produced by the Cabbagetown BIA and the Office of Councillor Wong-Tam. There have been multiple rounds of local engagement meetings including stakeholder meetings with the BIA members and surveys to assess and manage the needs and expectations of the surrounding businesses and residents to ensure community safety, project targets are achieved. To date, there have also been multiple rounds of consultation with senior city staff from over ten City of Toronto divisions who have guided and offered key points of insight into the project planning and implementation process and have played a critical role in project discussions from the outset of the design and implementation phase.
