Construction Staging Area - 83-97 River Street and 2-4 Labatt Avenue
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on River Street, City Council approval of this report is required. Broccolini is constructing a 34-storey residential condominium building at 83-97 River Street and 2-4 Labatt Avenue. The site is located at the north-east corner of River Street and Labatt Avenue. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the east side sidewalk, the northbound bike lane and the parking layby lane on River Street, between Labatt Avenue and a point 46.1 metres north, for a period of 40 months, from October 1, 2022 to January 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the east side of River Street will be maintained in a minimum 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. A northbound bike lane will be maintained at 1.3 metres in width, and will be adjacent to the walkway. Transportation Services is also requesting authorization to close the north side sidewalk and a 2.2 metre wide portion of the north side eastbound lane on Labatt Avenue, between River Street and a point 40.5 metres east, for the same period. Pedestrian movements on the north side of Labatt Avenue abutting the site will be restricted and will be directed to the south side sidewalk of Labatt Avenue. Temporary stop control will be installed for eastbound traffic on Labatt Avenue at Defries Street, to create a gap for north-south crossing pedestrians. In addition, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to fully close a portion of Carfrae Lane for a period of 23 months, from March 1, 2024 to January 31, 2026, from Labatt Avenue to a point 46.1 metres north. The developer has advised Transportation Services that they will be providing parking accommodations on private property for four vehicles. This is equivalent to the number of permit parking spaces that are being temporarily lost as a result of the installation of the staging area on the east side of River Street, north of Labatt Avenue. Residents in the area with a valid permit will be able to park overnight within the off-street parking facilities provided by the developer.

The exclusion of the development from the 2- permit parking area is a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space. The issuance of parking permits to residents of these developments would negatively impact on the already limited supply of parking spaces. As a result, I am requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to prohibit the General Manager, Transportation Services, from accepting applications from residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at the subject development property. Residents have reported that it is difficult to find a parking space close to home. The request is to ensure the balance of parking within area 2- from the potential influx from another development in the neighbourhood.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, amend Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 1423-1437 Bloor Street West and 278 Sterling Road from permit parking area 2-.

2022 Maintenance Work at Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools
This report responds to City Council direction to report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the urgent maintenance work currently underway at Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools. While preparing the Donald D. Summerville Olympic Pools for the 2022 season, staff discovered that inclement winter weather significantly damaged the liners in the 50 and 25 metre pools rendering them irreparable and requiring full replacement. To ensure the facility is able to partially open for the 2022 season, staff are expediting an emergency liner replacement for the 25 metre pool. The liner replacement is underway and will take approximately six weeks to complete. The diving pool and the 25 metre pool are anticipated to open at the end of July. The vendor is unable to source the 50 metre pool liner replacement for this season, and it will remain closed for summer 2022. The replacement will be completed as part of a comprehensive state of good repair project planned for 2023. To mitigate service impacts, staff have: · relocated permit holders to nearby pools · relocated CampTO swims to other nearby indoor and outdoor pools · communicated alternative outdoor and indoor pool options to lane and leisure swim participants through the City's website, signage and direct communication to permit holders · offered displaced aquatics staff shifts at other pools The washrooms located on the exterior of the building in addition to the food vendor will remain operational. Impacts to the 2023 pool season will be determined through further investigation and preliminary design this fall.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to undertake inspection of outdoor recreation facilities earlier in the season in order to identify potential issues and undertake repairs when necessary. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to review and action further measures to mitigate the impacts on recreation users for the 2022 season, including but not limited to: a. Providing additional lane swim hours at Kiwanis Outdoor Pool to be available to permit holders; and b. Provide lane swim options at earlier hours of the day, comparable to those historically provided at Donald D. Summerville, at Kiwanis Outdoor Pool, Monarch Park and Greenwood Park. 3. City Council request the General Manager, Park, Forestry and Recreation to initiate the planned 2023 State of Good Repair and any other capital repairs for the Donald D. Summerville pool as soon as possible, and to coordinate timing of upgrades and outstanding repairs for the 50 metre pool to ensure that there are no impacts to the 2023 summer season.

Donlands Avenue/O'Connor Drive and Pape Avenue/O'Connor Drive- Traffic Agent Review
At the January meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, Transportation Services reported back on my request for a traffic safety review along O'Connor Drive in item TE30.24.

Intersection Safety Review - Broadview and Mortimer
Broadview Avenue and Mortimer Avenue are two arterial roads with primarily residential buildings on both sides. On the west side of this intersection, Broadview Avenue connects with Pottery Rd which connects to Bayview. This is a very busy intersection and I have heard from many residents that this intersection is very unsafe for pedestrians. In the area immediately surrounding the intersection of Broadview and Mortimer, there are also two large developments planned. With the impending construction of two developments near this intersection, the local community has raised further concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety. I am writing to request that this intersection be reviewed to assess whether all measures are in place to ensure the safety of all road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed: 1. Transportation Services staff to conduct an intersection traffic safety study at Broadview Avenue and Mortimer Avenue and to report back with recommendations to the January 2023 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

I am writing to respectfully request your support in re-opening Item TE32.83 in order to change the "No Standing" prohibition on Durham Ave, between Winnett Ave and Arlington Ave, to a "No Stopping" prohibition. After adoption, residents of the street brought it to my office's attention that their petition had actually requested for a "No Stopping" prohibition. This measure would help ease congestion on their street by deterring parents, who have kids attending schools in the area, from using the street as a standing/stopping zone while waiting to pick up their kids.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened Item TE32.83 titled "Implementation of a "No Standing" prohibition on Durham Avenue, between Winnett Avenue and Arlington Avenue", with respect to Recommendation 2. 2.

Parking Amendments - Falwyn Avenue
Earlier this year, by way of the Permit Parking office, it was brought to my attention that some discrepancies exist between the signage on Falwyn Avenue and the actual parking bylaw, which has resulted in safety and operational issues on the street. Permit parking operates from 12:00 midnight to 6:00am. According to the City of Toronto's parking bylaw (Chapter 925), parking is already affixed to the even (north) side of Falwyn Avenue. However, signage on the street indicates alternate side parking. For this reason, residents are parking on the north side of Falwyn Avenue except on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from April 1st to November 30th, during which time they park on the alternate side (south). This conflicts with the current parking regulation and causes residents at times to park on both sides of the street, which narrows the roadway, and in turn creates unsafe conditions and disruptions to City services. Transportation Services staff have been contacted for recommendations and as a result of their investigation, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending that parking regulations be amended and corrected, as outlined below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, April 1st to November 30th, inclusive on the north side of Falwyn Avenue, between the west end of Falwyn Avenue and Winona Drive. 2. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect at all times, except the 1st Wednesday and 3rd Wednesday of each month, April 1st to November 30th, inclusive on the south side of Falwyn Avenue, between the west end of Falwyn Avenue and Winona Drive. 3. Prohibited parking at all times on the south side of Falwyn Avenue, between the west end of Falwyn Avenue and Winona Drive. 4. Amended the existing permit parking regulation in effect at all times from 12:00 midnight to 6:00 a.m., on the even side of Falwyn Avenue, from the west limit to Winona Drive to be in effect at all times, except no parking on the south side of Falwyn Avenue between the west end of Falwyn Avenue and Winona Drive.

Parking Amendments - Manchester Avenue
The owner of 33 Manchester Avenue contacted my office advising that the existing No Parking condition in front of their house regularly results in vehicles parked on the road and blocking access to their driveway. The current condition for parking in front of this location is such that it is generally too small of a space to allow for a regular-sized vehicle to park without preventing access to the adjacent property's driveway. The introduction of a No Stopping Anytime regulation would assist with preventing vehicles from parking on the portion of the road that provides access to the driveway at 33 Manchester Avenue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, from December 1st of one year to March 31st of the next following year, inclusive on the south side of Manchester Avenue, between Ossington Avenue and Shaw Street, to be in effect between Ossington Avenue and a point 60 metres further east. 2.

Realignment of Permit Parking Area "5E" to exclude the development located at 110-116 Avenue Road
The availability of permit parking in our neighbourhoods continues to be a hot topic of discussion among residents, new, old, and former. The increasing density we are seeing from development does not suggest that our current model for on-street parking availability is one that is equitable, nor that it can support any new residents to the area moving forward. By taking steps to eliminate access to parking spaces we can help promote less dependency on a personal vehicle, and protect the available public supply for general use. The exclusion of the development located at 110-116 Avenue Road from the 5E permit parking area is also a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking spaces and we are not oversubscribing any one area from access to public parking availability. The issuance of parking permits to residents of this development would negatively impact on the already limited supply of on-street parking spaces in the area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the realignment of Permit Parking Area "5E" to exclude the development located at 110-116 Avenue Road.

Reduction of Speed Limit on Russell Hill Road, between Heath Street West and Kilbarry Road
Dear Chair and Members, I am writing to respectfully request the reduction of the speed limit at Russell Hill Road, between Heath Street West and Kilbarry Road from 40km/k to 30km/h. The Bishop Strachan School reached out to my office over very serious safety concerns around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger students. What is more, the sections of Russell Hill Road, north of Kilbarry and south of Heath Street West, which are both further away from the school, are currently designated as 30km/h, leaving this mid-section, directly abutting the school, at 40km/h. While Traffic Operations staff have explained that this is due to the section being classified as a collector road, they certainly understand the safety concerns here and my office has worked with them in coming up with this recommendation that will go a long way to ensure safety in a school zone.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40 kilometres an hour to 30 kilometres an hour on Russell Hill Road, between Heath Street West and Kilbarry Road.
