East-West Water Shuttle Pilot and Bathurst Quay
Waterfront Toronto, together with the City and the Toronto Port Authority are initiating an East-West Water Shuttle Pilot in June 2026 to provide more east-west service across the Inner Harbour. This new service has the potential to reduce vehicular traffic across the central waterfront and provide new opportunities for residents and visitors to move around the central waterfront. Such efforts may assist all modes by increasing capacity and alleviating pressure on road networks, as recommended in the City's recently updated Congestion Management Plan . This report is a response to 2025.TE27.88, which directed that staff consult with Waterfront Toronto and the Toronto Police Service, to report back to the May 28, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on traffic impacts and management in Bathurst Quay related to the pilot. The report provides a brief background on the objectives and rationale for the pilot and expanding marine transportation options. This report also outlines how access to the water shuttle will be managed, with sensitivity to pre-existing traffic management challenges in the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood. Access to quantitative data is central to making informed recommendations to Council regarding changes to constrained transportation networks, such as at Bathurst Quay. City staff will report on a performance review of the water shuttle pilot upon the conclusion of its first term, which is maximum 5 years in duration. This review will be used to assess the impact, and market feasibility of permanently expanded marine transportation options connecting Portland Slip, Yonge Slip and Biidaasige Park.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Director, Waterfront Secretariat to provide an update on the implementation of the East-West Water Shuttle Pilot Project no later than the third quarter of 2028.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. This report concludes the Oakwood Village Streets Plan. The Streets Plan assessed existing conditions, engaged with the public and community organizations, and proposed appropriate changes to neighbourhood streets. This report summarizes the study findings and recommends road safety and traffic management changes to implement in the Oakwood Village neighbourhood. Recommendations include traffic calming (speed humps), in-road speed signs, intersection and mid-block safety improvements, new turn restrictions, and parking restrictions. Some proposed changes in the Streets Plan are coordinated with related projects such as the Vaughan Road Safety Improvement project and East-West Connections. These proposed changes to improve safety are subject to City Council approval as changes are proposed along streets with TTC service and/or also include cycling infrastructure. A companion report is submitted to Toronto and East York Community Council entitled "Oakwood Village Streets Plan - Non-Delegated Road Safety Improvements" which contains proposed changes that Toronto and East York Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Tables 2 and 3 are a summary of all proposed changes. Table 4 is a summary of proposed changes to be implemented in coordination with related projects.

Oakwood Village Streets Plan - Non-Delegated Road Safety Improvements
This staff report is about a matter that Toronto and East York Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. This report is a companion to a report entitled 'Oakwood Village Streets Plan', which documents the findings of the Oakwood Village Streets Plan study and recommended changes, for which authority has been delegated to Toronto and East York Community Council. The Streets Plan assessed existing conditions, engaged with the public and community organizations, and proposed appropriate changes to neighbourhood streets. City Council approval is required for the following changes on Oakwood Avenue, a street where Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit route: installation of a pedestrian signal, a minor change to existing on-street parking, and turn restrictions at the intersection of Earnscliffe Road to improve safety and visibility. Other proposed changes, identified by the Streets Plan and coordinated with related projects such as the Vaughan Road Safety Improvement project and East-West Connections, are subject to future City Council approval, as they involve road safety changes along streets with TTC service and also include cycling infrastructure. These proposed changes are summarized in this report.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of a traffic control signal (intersection pedestrian signal) at the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Clovelly Avenue. 2. Subject to approval of Recommendation 1 above, City Council authorize the removal of the existing pedestrian crossover on Oakwood Avenue immediately south of Clovelly Avenue, in conjunction with the installation of a traffic control signal (intersection pedestrian signal). 3. City Council prohibit southbound right turns in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, at the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Earnscliffe Road. 4. City Council prohibit northbound left turns in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, at the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Earnscliffe Road. 5. City Council prohibit parking at all times on the west side of Oakwood Avenue, between a point 40 metres south of Earnscliffe Road and the lane west of Oakwood Avenue south of Earnscliffe Road.

Ossington Avenue Safety and Streetscape Improvements
This staff report is about a matter that Toronto and East York Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is proposing changes to Ossington Avenue between Dundas Street West and Queen Street West, to bring vehicle lane widths to current standards, expand sidewalks and pedestrian space and provide full-time parking. The proposed changes would improve safety, comfort and operations for all street users. Current vehicle lane widths on this section of Ossington Avenue are narrow and do not meet the minimum standards for safe passage of emergency vehicles, buses and motor vehicles. High rates of improper passing and sideswiping collisions have been observed. This section of Ossington Avenue is also one of the City's most vibrant, pedestrian-dense commercial streets, yet many sections feature narrow and obstructed sidewalks and constrained pedestrian boulevards lacking amenities to support the high volumes of pedestrian activity. This mismatch between roadway design and corridor function presents a clear opportunity to reallocate space to better support safety for all road users and enhance the public realm. In 2028, road resurfacing is planned on Ossington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Argyle Street, providing an opportunity to address the challenges along the corridor in a cost and time efficient manner. This report proposes removing peak hour parking restrictions along Ossington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Queen Street West, to allow full-time curbside parking. Curb lanes would be narrowed to accommodate a single, wider vehicle travel lane in each direction that meets minimum standards for emergency vehicle and bus operations. Dedicated left-turn lanes are proposed at Dundas Street West (northbound) and Queen Street West (southbound). Roadway improvements also include upgrades to TTC bus stops and merging areas to improve bus movement and reliability. This section of Ossington Avenue has relatively low traffic volumes and can readily support conversion from a four-lane cross-section to a two-lane cross-section with left-turn lanes, with negligible impacts to travel times along the corridor. The design proposes lengthy sections of sidewalk extensions that would widen the pedestrian boulevard by 1.5-2.3 metres along 475 metres of the street, from Dundas Street West to Rebecca Street. There are seven sidewalk extensions proposed along the west side and eight sidewalk extensions proposed along the east side of Ossington Avenue. The expanded boulevard space would be enhanced with permeable concrete pavers, six new parkette spaces that include bioretention planters and space for seating, eight new waste receptables and new bicycle racks to provide 60 additional bicycle parking spaces. The proposal also includes four Commercial Loading Zones to accommodate business loading needs. The extended sidewalks would result in a loss of 14 on-street parking spaces along Ossington Avenue from Rolyat Street to Rebecca Street. To offset this parking loss, Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority are exploring the possibility of a shared-use arrangement (outside of school hours) at the Toronto District School Board owned parking lot at 42 Givins Street. This could add up to 45 off-street parking spaces to the local supply that would be available evenings, weekends and during summer months, which are the peak visitor times in the area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of the Ossington Avenue Safety and Streetscape Improvements and all required By-law Amendments to Toronto Municipal Code Chapters 910, 925, 950, as generally described in Attachments 1 and 2 to the report (May 7, 2026) from the Acting Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services.

Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support transit diversion routes associated with a sewer and streetcar track replacement project on College Street, between Bay Street and Yonge Street, and on Carlton Street, between Yonge Street and Church Street, scheduled to take place from July 26, 2026 (earliest start date of construction) to December 2026. Due to the nature of the construction and the resulting constraints within the right-of-way, regular streetcar operations will be suspended through the project area. As a result, the 506 Carlton streetcar will be diverted around the construction zone for the duration of the work, and a 506 Carlton replacement bus service will be implemented to supplement transit coverage. The proposed temporary TPMs recommended in this report are intended to improve the speed and reliability of TTC services operating along the diversion routes and to mitigate construction-related impacts on transit customers during the project period. The recommendations in this report provide the necessary by-law changes to ensure the diverted TTC routes can operate effectively. The operational changes include amending existing left-turn restrictions to exempt TTC vehicles. The TPMs include changes to curbside regulations, including increased duration of existing 'No Stopping' restrictions and the implementation of new 'No Parking' restrictions. The proposed changes aim to mitigate the direct impact on the 30,000 customers travelling each day on the 506 Carlton streetcar, as well as the indirect impact on the 30,000 customers travelling each day on the 505 Dundas streetcar (based on Fall 2025 ridership). The transit priority measures are focussed on Dundas Street East and Dundas Street West, between McCaul Street and Parliament Street, as this stretch has the highest streetcar frequency of the streets affected by the TTC diversion (i.e. 16 streetcars per hour in the PM peak). To support streetcar and general traffic operations along the diverted transit routes, this report recommends the following temporary measures on Dundas Street East and Dundas Street West: - Extend existing 'No Stopping' restrictions to: - Apply daily from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m, seven days a week. - Implement new 'No Parking' restrictions to: - Apply during the morning and midday period (9:00/9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), seven days a week - Apply during the evening period (7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.), seven days a week. - Introduce new turning prohibitions at selected intersections between McCaul Street and Parliament Street to reduce streetcar delay caused by turning vehicles. The proposed No Stopping, No Parking and turn restrictions are provided in detail in Table 5. As TTC operates transit service on Dundas Street East, Dundas Street West, Bay Street, and Carlton Street, City Council approval of this report is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize amendments to parking and traffic regulations as set out in Attachment 1 to the report (May 11, 2026) from the Director, Congestion and Network Management, Transportation Services to take effect from July 26, 2026, until regular Toronto Transit Commission streetcar service has resumed along College Street and Carlton Street. 2. City Council amend the existing southbound left-turn prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays at the intersection of Gerrard Street East and Bay Street to be in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays (Toronto Transit Commission vehicles excepted). 3. City Council amend the existing northbound left-turn 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 at the intersection of Wellesley Street East and Church Street to be 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 (Toronto Transit Commission vehicles excepted). 4. City Council amend the existing northbound, southbound and westbound left-turn prohibition in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday, at the intersection of Carlton Street and Jarvis Street to be in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday (Toronto Transit Commission vehicles excepted). 5. City Council delegate, despite any City of Toronto By-law to the contrary, to the General Manager, Transportation Services, from July 26, 2026 to December 31, 2026, inclusive, for the purposes of implementing and then addressing any operational and/or safety issues that may arise in relation to the project identified above, the authority to implement changes and submit directly to City Council any necessary Bills for By-law Amendments to the schedules to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapters on the streets and within the parameters as identified in Attachment 2 to the report (May 11, 2026) from the Director, Congestion and Network Management, Transportation Services.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on Dundas Street West, City Council approval of this report is required. The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council's direction to review and report back on the proposed realignment of Permit Parking Area 1E to exclude the development located at 3459 and 3461 Dundas Street West. Transportation Services has determined the proposed realignment of the Permit Parking Area 1E is feasible and has no objections to excluding the development located at 3459 and 3461 Dundas Street West. Should City Council approve this exclusion, residents and visitors associated with these addresses would no longer be eligible to participate in the on-street overnight permit parking program.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the amendment to Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate a revised map of Permit Parking Area 1E, as shown in Attachment 1 to the report (April 29, 2026) from the Director, Street Permits, Transportation Services, excluding the development currently located at 3459 and 3461 Dundas Street West.

Temporary Adjustments to Permit Parking Relocation on Mathersfield Drive and Chestnut Park
The City of Toronto is undertaking infrastructure work under Contract 23ECS-LU-04TT to replace the existing 900mm transmission watermain with a new 1200mm watermain on Rowanwood Avenue and surrounding streets. The work includes shaft construction, tunnelling operations and associated truck haul routes. To safely accommodate construction activities including heavy equipment staging and truck movements, on-street parking restrictions are required on Rowanwood Avenue between Yonge Street and Thornwood Road, Cluny Drive between Pricefield Road and Rowanwood Avenue, Pricefield Road between Cluny Drive and Thornwood Road, and Thornwood Road between Pricefield Road and Chestnut Park, starting in June 2026 for approximately one year. The launch shaft located at the intersection of Rowanwood Avenue and Thornwood Road will serve as a primary access point for tunnelling operations. This location requires continuous access for construction vehicles, including delivery of materials and removal of excavated soil. Maintaining clear curb lanes is necessary to ensure safe and efficient movement of trucks and equipment. These restrictions will temporarily displace existing permit parking holders. To mitigate impacts, Engineering and Construction Services has consulted with Transportation Services and is proposing temporary permit parking arrangements on nearby streets, including Mathersfield Drive and Chestnut Park. In view of the above, authorization is required to temporarily amend parking by-laws to facilitate construction while maintaining reasonable parking access for affected residents.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Mathersfield Drive, between Pricefield Road and the Mathersfield Drive east leg, from the requirements of Subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as the Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location. 2. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Chestnut Park, between Roxborough Street East and Thornwood Road, from the requirements of Subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as the Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.

30 Bond Street (St. Michael's Hospital) - Traffic Amendments and Parking Amendments
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. EllisDon Corporation has undertaken the renovation of St. Michael's Hospital at 30 Bond Street. The site is located at the southeast corner of Victoria Street and Shuter Street. By way of background, Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on February 19, 2026 adopted Item TE29.29 and authorized the closure of the lay-by on the south side of Shuter Street, between Victoria Street and a point 40 metres east. On the south side of Shuter Street, between a point 10.5 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 17 metres further east, the emergency services vehicle parking was rescinded and replaced with a stopping prohibition to support construction staging. In 2025, St. Michael's Hospital initiated consultation with Toronto Paramedic Services (TPS) regarding the planned renovation of the ambulance bay and the associated temporary loss of operational parking. While no initial concerns were identified following the preliminary engagement, TPS formally raised objections upon the issuance of implementation notices. Following a series of collaborative meetings to address these operational impacts, EllisDon has since updated its construction staging request to incorporate TPS's requirements and ensure service continuity. In view of the above, Transportation Services is requesting authorization for the following amendments and closures: - Rescind the previous recommendations in Item TE29.29 and reintroduce the emergency services vehicle parking. - Close 1.5 metre wide portion of the south sidewalk on Shuter Street, between a point 4 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 34 metres further east. - Close 1.5 metre wide portion of the east sidewalk on Victoria Street, between a point 5 metres south of Shuter Street and a point 25 metres further south. - Close the bicycle lanes on both sides of Shuter Street, between Victoria Street and Bond Street replace with bicycle sharrow markings. The temporary closures noted above are required for a period of 12 months, from May 29, 2026 to April 30, 2027 to facilitate the renovations. Pedestrian operations will be maintained within the 2.1 metre wide open portion of the existing south sidewalk on Shuter Street and the east sidewalk on Victoria Street. The existing traffic lanes on both sides of Shuter Street will be maintained. People cycling in the eastbound and westbound direction on Shuter Street will merge with vehicular traffic.

Improving Pedestrian Safety on Crescent Road - Delegated
Way finding apps have considerably increased cut-through traffic through formerly quiet residential areas in Ward 11. Residents have expressed serious safety concerns about cut-through motorists frequently driving onto the sidewalk on Crescent Road between Cluny Drive and South Drive, to circumvent TTC buses, trucks and parked cars. This is especially dangerous when children are walking to and from school, but poses a safety risk for all vulnerable street users. Recent site visits by Transportation staff have confirmed this safety concern and also noted operational delays that stopped vehicles are causing for the Rosedale 82 bus. Unobstructed two-way traffic flow is negatively impacted by the narrow road width combined with on-street standing/parking, delivery and construction vehicles plus TTC operations. However, removing these obstructions may encourage speeding, which is also a serious threat to the safety of vulnerable road users, and which can no longer be controlled with speed cameras. To avoid speeding, those living on this residential street have requested that the parking restrictions be combined with a reduced speed limit and speed cushions that accommodate TTC buses. Speed cushions would require additional parking restrictions. I am thefore bringing two motions, a non-delegated motion to amend the parking regulations on this section of Crescent Road to address the safety concerns, and a delegated motion for related matters. Under the delegated motion: - Sidewalk bollards would help prevent motorized vehicles from mounting the sidewalk in the area where such intrusions most frequently occur. - The speed limit would be reduced to 30 km/ hour.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Deferred consideration of the Item to the July 8 and 9, 2026 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Dianne Saxe recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to install sidewalk bollards on Crescent Road in the location shown in Drawing No. 421T-1176, dated May 2026. 2. Toronto and East York Community Council reduce the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Crescent Road, between Yonge Street and South Drive (east intersection).

Under the non-delegated motion: - All curbside activity on the south side will be prohibited during the proposed No Stopping hours of operation 8am-6pm, M-Sun. This includes parking, loading/unloading of passengers and/or goods for all (residents, guests, trades etc.). - To accommodate residents, curbside activities will be permitted outside the prohibited times, i.e. before 8 am and after 6 pm, as recorded traffic volumes during these time periods are lower. - Under the No Standing Anytime regulation proposed on the north side of the street, loading/unloading of passengers is permitted only. Parking or loading/unloading of goods is prohibited under this regulation. This parking proposal would maximize road width improving site lines, transit operations, and unobstructed two-way traffic flow during the prohibited times.

Improving Pedestrian Safety on Roxborough Road
By 2025.TE27.50 , Toronto and East York Community Council authorized a construction management zone for the construction of the new multi unit residential building at one Roxborough Street West. Section 23 of that motion required the developer to install a pedestrian crossing to provide a safe access to Yonge Street for pedestrians on the south side of Roxborough, given that the sidewalk has been blocked by the developer. Since that time, Transportation Services has decided that it will take responsibility for installing the pedestrian crossing and will pay for it out of the existing charge is paid by the developer.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened Item TE27.50, titled "1 Roxborough Street West (Phase 2) - Construction Staging Area". 2. Amended its previous decision on Item TE27.50 by deleting Part 23 and adopting the following new Part instead: 23. Direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to install a temporary pedestrian crossover 100 metres west of Paul Hahn Lane to ensure that pedestrians can safely cross Roxborough Street West in order to walk to Yonge Street on the sole remaining (north side) sidewalk, until the south sidewalk on Roxborough Street West on the block west of Yonge Street is reopened to pedestrians.

Protecting Lane Access on MacPherson Avenue
Residents of MacPherson Avenue depend on a narrow public laneway to access their rear garages and driveways. Unfortunately, access to this laneway has frequently been blocked by parked cars. Parking that blocks access to a laneway is already prohibited by the city bylaw, but in the absence of appropriate signage, the presence of the lane has often been overlooked. In theory, but not in practice, this could have been resolved without signage by additional parking enforcement. Residents have therefore requested signage to ensure access to the laneway for motor vehicles. Transportation Services staff have reviewed the situation and have also identified an inconsistency in the existing By-law.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect from November 1 of one year to May 31 of the next following year, inclusive, on the north side of Macpherson Avenue, between Avenue Road and a point 38 metres west of Yonge Street, to be in effect between Avenue Road and a point 58.5 metres east, and between a point 67 metres east of Avenue Road and a point 38 metres west of Yonge Street. 2.

“Don’t Ride on the Sidewalk” Decals on Ward 11 Sidewalks
Pedestrians in Ward 11 experience chronic conflicts with motorized vehicles on sidewalks, particularly in the vicinity of food service businesses, which are located in a high density in Ward 11. City staff have experimented with various forms of "walk your wheels" safety sidewalk markings. Painted markings have been used in past years, which last for multiple seasons. Last year, Communication Services and Transportation Services designed, procured and installed a small number of sidewalk decals with approved markings that reminded riders to walk their vehicles on the sidewalk. These decals had some success, but were removed at the end of the summer season. Staff have now procured a slightly larger number of such decals to be installed in 2026, at an installed cost of about $500 each, but this does not provide nearly enough sidewalk safety warnings for the density of such conflicts in Ward 11. The Bay Cloverhill Residents Association, which experiences a high number of such conflicts, has volunteered to pay the $100 purchase price for each of an additional 12 decals and to install them themselves in the locations listed below. However, they would much prefer to use non-slip painted markings which are more durable and less expensive. These decals are needed to reduce sidewalk conflicts in the very busy summer season. Staff have already ordered the 12 additional decals, and residents are waiting for permission to install them.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to permit volunteers to install "Don't Ride on the Sidewalk" sidewalk safety decals designed and provided by the City's vendor, but paid for by volunteers, on the following sidewalks in Ward 11: a. north west College Street and Bay Street; b. south west Grosvenor and Bay; c. south west Wellesley and Bay (near BikeShare station); d. north west St Joseph and Bay (near BikeShare station); e. north west St Mary and Bay; f. south west Charles and Bay (near BikeShare station); g. north east Queen's Park East and Charles; h. south east Queen's Park East and St. Joseph; i. north east Queen's Park East and Wellesley; j. south west Dr. Emily Stowe Way and Grenville (adjacent to BikeShare station); k. north east College and Queen's Park (near BikeShare station); and l. 111 Wellesley W (adjacent to BikeShare station). 2. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Chief Communications Officer to report to the appropriate committee in the first quarter of 2027 with recommendations on: a. dentifying areas across the city where pedestrians experience chronic conflicts with motorized vehicles on sidewalks; b. how much "Don't Ride on the Sidewalk" markings approved by Transportation Services improve pedestrian safety in such areas; c. whether non-slip painted markings can be safely used as a more durable, lower-cost alternative to decals, and d. how the City can facilitate installation of sidewalk safety markings.

Report request on naming an existing lane Valerie Mah Lane
Valerie Mah was the first Chinese vice-principal at the Toronto Board of Education and then the long-time principal at Bruce Public School. She was so very dedicated to her students and their families that she developed a full kitchen, as she strongly believed children needed a full stomach to be good learners. She was a longtime member of TEOF (Toronto Education Opportunity Fund) and, for many years, raised funds for student nutrition in Toronto schools at her annual Lunar New Year banquet. When the newly amalgamated Toronto District School Board decided to close Bruce School, Principal Mah worked with well known early-years advocates Fraser Mustard and Charles Pascal and her community to propose instead a full day integrated learning program at Bruce School. This became the model for full-day kindergarten in Ontario. Valerie Mah also served with distinction on the Chinese Chamber of Commerce East Toronto as a key organizer for the Chinese Archway at Gerrard and Broadview and was a longtime member of the Division 55 Toronto Police Service's Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC), which established a youth bursary in her name. With strong support from Mah's family, local community groups, and education workers I support this opportunity to honour Valerie.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Director, Engineering Support Services, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to report to the July 8 and 9, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommendations to name the existing public lane located north of Eastern Avenue, between Berkshire Avenue and Rushbrooke Avenue as Valerie Mah Lane.

Renaming Tichester Park in Honour of Hedy Bohm
This letter is to support the renaming of Tichester Park, located at 27 Tichester Road, to Hedy Bohm Park, in recognition of Hedy Bohm's extraordinary life and enduring contributions to Holocaust education, community building, and anti-discrimination work across Toronto. Born in Romania in 1926, Hedy immigrated to Toronto in 1949 after surviving the Holocaust, including imprisonment at Auschwitz. A resident of Tichester Road since 1992, she has deep roots in the local community and has inspired generations through her advocacy, education, and compassion. Renaming Tichester Park in her honour would provide a meaningful and lasting tribute to Ms. Bohm's contributions. It would also serve as a place of reflection and learning within the community, reinforcing the City of Toronto's commitment to inclusivity, remembrance, and the recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the City. A property naming application was submitted to Strategic Partnerships, accompanied by letters from individuals and organizations across Toronto, Canada, and internationally, demonstrating strong support for the proposed renaming.

All Way Stop at Portland Street and Stewart Street to Improve Safety and Sightlines
The Portland Dan-Leckie bikeway was approved by Council in 2024. The installation of the Portland Street segment of this route was deferred to accommodate a heavy hauling period of the King / Bathurst Ontario Line station that uses a portion of Portland Street for their truck route. In coordination with Metrolinx, the project is now planned for installation with two amendments to the existing approved bylaws [IE12.4 Bylaws 379-2026 through 382-2026] to ease access and improve safety for Ontario Line trucks exiting from the King / Bathurst station south shaft site. The first would introduce an all way stop at Portland Street and Stewart Street to improve safety, sightlines and access for trucks making the eastbound right-turn from Stewart Street to Portland Street. The second would permit large Ontario Line Vehicles to proceed southbound with caution and a flag person through the diverter at Portland Street and Wellington Street West. Ontario Line Vehicles will be clearly marked as per [2024.MM24.12] . The number of trucks anticipated to need to make this specific movement is less than four per day during Ontario Line construction. This movement would continue to be prohibited for all other motor vehicles except emergency vehicles.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized compulsory stop control on Portland Street at Stewart Street for southbound vehicular traffic and bicycles and for northbound bicycle traffic only. 2. Authorized vehicles transporting materials or equipment, working for Metrolinx on the King / Bathurst Ontario Line Station, to proceed southbound through the intersection along Portland Street at Wellington Street West. 3. Prohibited southbound through movements at all times, except for Ontario Line Vehicles from May 24, 2026 to December 31, 2027, inclusive and Toronto Community Crisis Service Vehicles, at Portland Street and Wellington Street West. 4. Prohibited northbound through movements at all times, except for Toronto Community Crisis Service Vehicles, at Portland Street and Wellington Street West. 5. Prohibited westbound through movements at all times, at the intersection of Wellington Street West and Portland Street. 6. Prohibited westbound right turns at all times at the intersection of Wellington Street West and Portland Street.

Report request on naming an existing lane Sister Gwen Smith Lane
Sister Gwen was a dedicated member of the Sisters of St Joseph for over 70 years. Sister Gwen was an unflagging social justice advocate who was a founding ministry director of Fontbonne Ministries to address community needs through social services, affordable housing and Outreach. In 2002 Fontbonne Place was opened with 18 rent-geared to income apartments for women. Known for her work among the poor and disadvantaged, Sister Gwen worked to develop Mustard Seed, the community hub at Fontbonne Place that offers food security programs and support services and drop in space. Along with Reverend Ray McCleary, Sister Gwen was an outspoken advocate for the poor in South Riverdale and devoted her life in their service. With strong support from the local community, I support this opportunity to honour Sister Gwen Smith.

Directed the Director, Engineering Support Services, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to report to the July 8 and 9, 2026 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommendations to name the existing public lane located south of Queen Street East between Empire Avenue and Booth Avenue as "Sister Gwen Smith Lane".
