TE32.76adopted
My office received a request to install speed bumps on east-west lane, bounded by Wallace Avenue, Emerson Avenue, Armstrong Avenue and Dufferin Street in May 2020 by property owners that abut the laneway. The laneways are utilized by both vehicles and pedestrians alike. However, in the last number of years there has been significant change in the behaviour of some drivers, which has created unsafe and dangerous conditions. More specifically, residents have reported an increase in speed and the excessive use of horns when navigating the laneway, especially at the T-junction. Residents requested via petition in August 2020 that traffic calming measures (speed bumps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. Of the residents that responded, there was unanimous support for making this change. I am requesting that speed bumps be installed on the public lane as recommended below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of speed bumps in the east-west lane, bounded by Wallace Avenue, Emerson Avenue, Armstrong Avenue and Dufferin Street, as shown on Drawing 421G-4001, dated April 2022, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Speed Limit Reduction - Queens Quay East
Queens Quay East between Yonge Street and Parliament Street is classified as a minor arterial with a speed limit of 50 km/h. This rapidly developing waterfront precinct has numerous residential, institutional, commercial, and office uses already opened, in addition to new parks and public spaces. The street is planned to be revitalized through a Waterfront Toronto project. A number of traffic regulation updates and interim traffic control measures are being implemented at this time to bridge the period before the street is rebuilt, to allow safe use for the new community and its many visitors. As part of this transition to a new Queens Quay East, it is recommended that the speed limit be reduced to 40 km/hr to align with the current speed limit on Queens Quay West. TTC service operates on this street. Traffic Operations staff have been consulted on this proposed change and support the recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Queens Quay East, between Yonge Street and Parliament Street.

Traffic Amendments - Cherry Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East Intersection re-alignment
As part of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project, new Cherry Street will include sidewalks, multi-use trail, a dedicated transit lane and two lanes of vehicular traffic. It will be built approximately 50 metres west of the existing Cherry Street to preserve the heritage structures located on either side of the existing street, and the intersection of Cherry Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East will be re-aligned as a result. The following recommendations will introduce various traffic by-laws that are required at this new intersection prior to opening.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind the existing traffic control signals at Lake Shore Boulevard East and Cherry Street (north intersection). 2.

2100 Yonge Street - Minor Variance - Committee of Adjustment
I am writing to you today in regards to a new business item pertaining to the development at 2100 Yonge Street and the developer's wish (Rockport Group) to seek minor variances at the Committee of Adjustment. After launching the project in June 2021, the developer has had the opportunity to better understand the local market's needs. The developer advises that there is a demand for large 2-bedroom units with larger living spaces and less demand for 3-bedrooms. Therefore, a requirement of the total number of new 3-bedroom to be reduced from 15% to 10% is needed to best serve local housing needs. The developer has consulted both Oriole Park Association (OPA) and the South Eglinton Davisville Resident's Association (SEDRA) regarding the changes with no objections being raised from either group. I am therefore requesting the following recommendations be presented to Toronto-East York Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community recommends that: 1. City Council permit, pursuant to Subsection 45.(1.4) of the Planning Act, submission of a minor variance application with respect to the properties municipal known as 2100-2110 Yonge Street and 8-12 Manor Road West for relief from site-specific Zoning By-laws 206-2021 and 207-2021 in order to to vary zoning provisions related to the minimum number of 3-bedroom units and require a minimum 10 percent instead of the required 15 percent. 2. In the event such variance is granted, City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into and register on title an agreement to amend the Section 37 Agreement dated March 8, 2021 and registered as Instrument No. AT5674086, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, to reflect the lower required percentage of 3-bedroom units.

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Highbourne Road, between College View Ave and Tranmer Ave. Residents of the street presented a petition to my office requesting this more than two years ago, which was referred to staff for a study. Due to pandemic delays, nothing has been forthcoming and residents have continued to complain of speeding and other forms of reckless and dangerous driving on the street. Upon further consultation with the Oriole Park Association, through periodic traffic safety meetings, we identified this as a high priority location for traffic calming and we have worked with Traffic Operations staff in making this request.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Highbourne Road, between College View Avenue and Tranmer Avenue. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Highbourne Road, between College View Avenue and Tranmer Avenue, to install three speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing No. 421G-4008' dated April 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Pinewood Avenue, between Maplewood Avenue and St. Clair Ave West.

Due to the pandemic delays and the subsequent backlogs, my office has worked closely with staff in coming up with the recommendations as more and more residents continue to complain about speeding and other forms of reckless driving on their street. Many of the residents of the street have young kids who get out and about on bikes and engage in other outdoor activities.

Parking Amendments on a section of Melita Crescent
I am writing to respectfully request a number of parking changes on Melita Crescent that would provide alternate side parking to residents on the north/south segment of Melita Crescent, south of Wychcrest Avenue (west intersection).

Re-Open Item TE29.75 - Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Avenue
I am writing to respectfully re-open Item TE29.75, "Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Ave" and to rescind the authority for the prohibition of parking on the north side of Dewbourne Ave, between Glen Cedar Road and Chiltern Hill Road, between 8:00am and 10:00am. After adoption, residents of the street brought it to my office's attention that their request was only for the south side of that section of Dewbourne Ave. The north side is to remain unchanged. This action would help improve traffic flow, and ease congestion in view of the astronomical amount of cut through traffic plying Cedarvale streets, a result of the ongoing LRT construction.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened TE29.75 entitled "Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Avenue, with respect to Part 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council's decision. 2.

Temporary Closure of Bellair Street to support CafeTO
The purpose of this letter is to temporarily close Bellair Street from Cumberland Street to Yorkville Avenue from May 1, 2022 until November 7, 2022, inclusive, to vehicular traffic to permit six eating establishment operators who have applied under the CaféTO program to operate a curb lane/parklet café under that program on the street.

Blake Street Parking Amendments
The Jones Avenue Jewish Cemetery is one of the oldest in the city, with some plots dating to 1885. Their access for vehicles is off Blake Avenue.

Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 3-6: Residential Overnight
On February 18, 2022, the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Board considered a Staff report that recommended delegating to staff the authority to adjust the hours when overnight parking is permitted in TPA lots in permit parking areas. That item was deferred and TPA staff have reached out to Councillors to get their feedback. The suggested changes will likely have an impact on the City's Permit Parking program. This program already faces many challenges including oversubscription in many areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake a review of PA28.5 Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 3-6: Residential Overnight Use, as it pertains to the Toronto and East York Community Council District; and to report back to the May 26, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council on the impacts to the permit parking system before a final report is submitted to the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Board.

Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District Revival
At its September 26, 2006 meeting, City Council authorized the Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study for Queen Street East, from the Don River to DeGrassi Street. On March 5, 6 and 7, 2012, Council adopted the document titled "Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference" which permitted the previously authorized HCD studies including Queen East to be initiated. Phase I of the study was undertaken in 2015 and subsequently paused due to extenuating factors. In their initial work heritage staff concluded the study area was worthy of Part V designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. They also recommended revising the study area to include several significant properties identified in their early work including the historic Queen Street Viaduct/Riverside Bridge.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning to resume the next phase of work on the Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District Study on an urgent basis.

Sammon Avenue Pedestrian Safety
The Quiet Streets program that Transportation Services implemented for the past few summers has been very popular with residents.

Exploring Pedestrianization of Cumberland St between Bellair St and Old York Lane
Since becoming Councillor for this area in 2018, I have had a number of discussions with residents and business owners in Yorkville concerned about pedestrian safety and noise from vehicles revving and, in some instances, racing through the neighbourhood. Many of those discussions have turned to pedestrianization as a concrete way to curb the noise and enhance safety for vulnerable road users. Last year, with the support of the local residents associations and the BIA, we completed a trial pedestrianization of a portion of Yorkville Avenue, from Bellair Street to Hazelton Avenue, in the warmer months that was well received and could be replicated in other areas. One such street that has come up time and time again as one where pedestrianization would be beneficial and could be achieved with minimal disruption is Cumberland Street, between Bellair Street and Old York Lane.
The Toronto and East York Community Council requested: 1. The General Manager, Transportation Services to: a. Investigate the potential to implement a temporary closure on Cumberland Street from Bellair Street to Old York Lane between May to September, for any period of time and: i. Report back to the Ward Councillor with the outcome of the investigation and with a timeline for implementation. b. Investigate the potential to permanently close Cumberland Street between Bellair Street and Old York Lane. 2. The General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake other necessary changes to by-laws on Cumberland Street to accommodate the closure identified in Recommendation 1 above. 3. The General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake consultation with the Ward Councillor, residents, and BIA while making a determination about next steps.

Stopping Prohibition - 192 Jarvis Street
My office was advised about repeat parking and illegal stopping situation at the driveway of 192 Jarvis that is seriously impacting the residents of this building. Customers from J San Sushi, the adjacent restaurant, are constantly parking their cars in front of this specific driveway to go pick up their takeout. As a result, residents from 192 Jarvis are unable to access their residential building because vehicles are blocking the driveway. Residents report that they must wait for extended periods of time until they are able to enter the building as it is dependent upon vehicles moving from the driveway. Even more problematic is the fact that residents are forced to ask customers and Uber drivers who are parked or stopped in front of the driveway to move their vehicles. Unfortunately, I have been advised that the residents have experienced troubling and problematic behaviour when requesting drivers to move from the driveway. The situation is serious and urgent, which can cause traffic impediments. Currently, this driveway does not have any signage installed that informs drivers that they cannot stop or park in the area. Given this situation, I am requesting that Transportation Staff install the appropriate signage to deter the blocking of the driveway.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on the west side of Jarvis Street, between a point 58 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 19 metres further south. 2. Amended the existing stopping prohibition in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, on the west side of Jarvis Street, between Front Street East and a point 270.5 metres south of Gerrard Street East, to be in effect from Front Street East to a point 77 metres south of Dundas Street East, and from a point 58 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 270.5 metres south of Gerrard Street East. 3. Amended the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three hours, on the west side of Jarvis Street, between a point 74.5 metres north of Shuter Street and Dundas Street East, to be in effect from a point 74.5 metres north of Shuter Street and a point 77 metres south of Dundas Street East, and from Dundas Street East and a point 58 metres south. 4.
