Speed Bump Installation on North-South Public Lane East of Emerson Avenue North of Armstrong Avenue
My office received a request to install speed bumps on the north-south public lane east of Emerson Avenue, between Millicent Street and Armstrong Avenue in May 2020 by property owners that abut the laneway. The laneway is utilized by both vehicles and pedestrians alike. In the last number of years there has been an increase in speeding and cut-through traffic, which has resulted in the excessive use of car horns whilst vehicles navigate the laneway, especially at the T-junction, causing a diminished quality of life. Residents requested via petition in August 2020 that traffic calming measures (speed bumps) and No Honking signage 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 north- south Lane, east of Emerson Avenue, between Millicent Street and Armstrong Avenue, as shown on Drawing 421G-4104, dated June 2022, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

The installation of speed humps may assist in mitigating some of the cut-through traffic and make conditions safer for local vulnerable road users, including seniors and children who play, walk, and cycle on the street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Markham Street, between College Street and Dundas Street West. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Markham Street, between College Street and Dundas Street West, to install six speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing Nos. 421G-4066 and 421G-4067' dated June 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Speed Hump Installation - Hazelton Avenue between Davenport Road and Yorkville Avenue
Toronto is seeing an unprecedented number of high performance vehicles and motorcycles speeding and drag racing throughout the city, often with modified mufflers that emit extremely disruptive levels of noise. The Yorkville neighbourhood feels this pressure more than most areas. It has become a destination for people with loud vehicles making their presence known, often while driving recklessly and dangerously. In order to ensure that the Yorkville neighbourhood remains a safe and liveable environment for residents, we must take steps to reduce the speed and danger posed by these vehicles. The installation of speed humps is key to achieving this.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Hazelton Avenue, between Davenport Road and Yorkville Avenue. 2.

Heritage Designation under the Ontario Heritage Act - 63 Old Forest Hill Road
I am writing to respectfully request your support to move forward with a notice of intention to designate the property at 63 Old Forest Hill Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Upon becoming aware of the real estate listing of this Heritage Register property, several concerned community members reached out to my office to demand that the architectural and contextual significance that originally formed the basis for the property being listed on the municipal heritage register as far back as December 10, 1975 is conserved. The property is currently listed in the City's municipal heritage register, but heritage designation would provide protection - i.e. to ensure conservation and maintenance requirements-especially now that I understand that it is currently listed for sale.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning to evaluate the property at 63 Old Forest Hill Road for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and to report back to the Toronto Preservation Board and the Toronto and East York Community Council.

U-turn Prohibition - Lake Shore Boulevard East at Cherry Street (south intersection)
Transportation Services is requesting approval to prohibit eastbound U-turn movements at all times on Lake Shore Boulevard East at Cherry Street (south intersection). On occasion area residents have observed eastbound motorists on Lake Shore Boulevard East, making U-turns at Cherry Street (south intersection) in order to proceed westbound on Lake Shore Boulevard East. This was also confirmed my Transportation Services staff. In some instances, westbound motorists on Lake Shore Boulevard East were required to stop for the U-turning vehicle in order to avoid a collision. Considering the traffic volumes on Lake Shore Boulevard East, pedestrian, cycling and construction activity, U-turns pose a safety risk for all road users in this area. Based on Transportation Services review of this matter and consultation with the area Councillor, it is recommended to prohibit eastbound U-turn movements at all times on Lake Shore Boulevard East at Cherry Street (south intersection). The proposed prohibitions will enhance traffic operations and safety in this area. As part of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard East and Cherry Street is in the process of being re-aligned. In this regard, Transportation Services staff will re-evaluate this turn prohibition upon completion of the intersection re-alignment project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council prohibit eastbound U-turn movements at all times on Lake Shore Boulevard East at Cherry Street (south intersection).

Fringe Festival Lane Closure Permit
The Toronto Fringe Festival marks the 34th year of operation and is returning as an in-person festival for the first time since 2019. Transportation Services has closed laneways in the past for the Toronto Fringe Festival and this year, the festival is collaborating with the Tranzac Club at 292 Brunswick Avenue to bring an outdoor patio and exciting programming experience. The event organizer is requesting to temporarily close Barbara Barrett Lane, between David French Lane to Brunswick Avenue from Monday, July 4, 2022 to Tuesday, July 19, 2022 in order to accommodate their programming. The purpose of the proposed closure is to facilitate a festival hub and will include food and drink service, buskers and the festival box office. The Fringe Festival is the most accessible arts event in the city, presenting nearly 100 productions at 11 venues this year. Fringe has premiered some of Canada's most successful theatre productions including Kim's Convenience, My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan wedding, 'Da Kink In My Hair, The Drowsy Chaperone and Mump and Smoot. All Fringe Festivals in Canada are mandated to choose their participants by lottery and return 100% of the box office returns to the artist in the festival, which has seen a return of over $6,000,000 over the past three decades to artists from across the country. Municipal Code Chapter 937-3 authorizes the General Manager of Transportation Services to temporarily close to vehicular traffic any portion of a road for a period of not more than four consecutive days for social, recreational, community, athletic or cinematographic purposes. This proposed closure will be in effect for more than 4 days and, therefore, requires Community Council approval. There will be no amplified noise outdoors after 11:00 p.m.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Approved the temporary closure to vehicular traffic of Barbara Barrett Lane, between David French Lane to Brunswick Avenue, on the following dates and durations, in order to facilitate the Toronto Fringe Festival: (a) From 9 am to 10 pm on Monday, July 4, 2022; (b) From 9 am to 10 pm on Tuesday, July 5, 2022; (c) From 3 pm on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 to 3 am on Thursday, July 7, 2022; (d) From 4 pm on Thursday, July 7, 2022 to 3 am on Friday, July 8, 2022; (e) From 4 pm on Friday, July 8, 2022 to 3 am on Saturday, July 9, 2022; (f) From 11 am on Saturday, July 9, 2022 to 3 am on Sunday, July 10, 2022; (g) From 11 am on Sunday, July 10, 2022 to 3 am on Monday, July 11, 2022; (h) From 4 pm on Monday, July 11, 2022 to 3 am Tuesday, July 12, 2022; (i) From 4 pm on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 to 3 am Wednesday, July 13, 2022; (j) From 4 pm on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 to 3 am Thursday, July 14, 2022; (k) From 4 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2022 to 3 am Friday, July 15, 2022; (l) From 4 pm on Friday, July 15, 2022 to 3 am Saturday, July 16, 2022; (m) From 11 am on Saturday, July 16, 2022 to 3 am Sunday, July 17, 2022; (n) From 11 am on Sunday, July 17, 2022 to 3 am Monday, July 18, 2022; (o) From 9 am to 10 pm on Monday, July 18, 2022; (p) From 9 am to 10 pm on Tuesday, July 19, 2022

Potential Intersection Alteration - Danforth Avenue and Main Street
In December 2021, City Council approved the temporary ActiveTO Cycling Network Expansion projects installed in 2020 as permanent installations, including the Danforth Avenue cycle tracks, parking and loading areas and motor vehicle operational changes from Broadview Avenue to Dawes Road. In December 2021, the local Councillor requested Transportation Services staff provide a design solution that includes an eastbound right-turn lane on Danforth Avenue at Main Street to address concerns of traffic congestion and delays on Danforth Avenue, between Woodbine Avenue and Main Street. Transportation Services staff reviewed the intersection and do not support a design for an eastbound right-turn lane. Every effort was made to achieve the objectives requested and mitigate risks to the best of our ability. The design solution remains sub-standard in a number of areas and therefore, Transportation Services does not support the potential alternation of the Danforth Avenue and Main Street intersection outlined in this report. As Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service along Danforth Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council submits the item to City Council without recommendation.

Oakwood-Vaughan Planning Strategy
Dear Chair and Members, Oakwood-Vaughan is a growing neighborhood with extraordinary potential and challenges that must be addressed. This growth, if properly and thoughtfully planned, could contribute to the community gaining much-needed social services, public spaces and infrastructure along with opportunities for affordable housing and retail. For this reason, the Oakwood-Vaughan strategy that was adopted by City Council identified planning and development as one of the four key areas toward generating economic growth, and increasing access to social and cultural services in the neighbourhood. While significant progress has been made in the three other areas, there's been very little progress made in reviewing the current built-form, and identifying opportunities to manage development proposals within a mixed-use context. Recently, I've heard several complaints from businesses, residents, community organizations and stakeholders, such as the Oakwood Village BIA, that many mixed-use buildings (which typically have ground floors for commercial purposes) are gradually being converted solely for residential purposes. I'm asking city staff to initiate an effective strategy for the entire neighborhood, obviously in concert with the Little Jamaica Master Plan. I want to ensure that the many new development applications arriving in this community are considered holistically, and that the cumulative result is considered as part of a strategy, to ensure that the community is left better than it was found- more affordable, more vibrant, safer, with great shops, social services, parks and infrastructure and improved quality of life.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to work with the Ward Councillors for Wards 9 and 12 to establish a community consultation process for an Oakwood-Vaughan Planning Strategy and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council in the second quarter of 2023.

I am writing to you today in regards to the Toronto Metropolitan University's (TMU) approved development at 202 Jarvis Street and 160 - 166 Dundas Street East and the University's wish to seek minor variances at the Committee of Adjustment. The project represents one of the largest capital projects to expand academic space on the TMU campus in recent decades, and will help the University achieve its growing demand for additional classroom and learning spaces. As the proposal has been advancing through the site plan approval process, TMU has had the opportunity to better understand the current student housing market and has since revised the development program. Key modifications include the removal of the student residence and tower portion of the building, the addition of a new academic floor on the retained podium building at the 14th level, the addition of a partial floor at the northwest corner of the building above the 5th storey, and a reduction in the bicycle parking rate to align with a new campus-wide bike-parking strategy. City Council's authorization for submission of a minor variance application is required to allow this application to move forward. This resolution is not intended to, and does not, relay Council's endorsement of the merits of the minor variance application, but simply ensures that TMU can continue to advance staff review and planning approvals in a timely manner during the Council election break.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends: 1. City Council, pursuant to Subsection 45(1.4) of the Planning Act, permit applications for minor variances with respect to the property municipally known as 202 Jarvis Street and 160-166 Dundas Street East, for relief from site-specific Zoning By-law 897-2021, in order to vary development standards related to the building height, building setbacks, and to consider a reduction in the bicycle parking supply.

I am writing to you today about Cycling safety on Logan Avenue. Logan Avenue is an important connection between the Danforth and the Lakeshore. However between Dundas and Eastern there are no bike lanes, which can lead to conflicts between vehicles and cyclists. Transportation Services have identified Logan in their long-term plan for upgrades, but due to the Ontario Line Construction impacting the lanes between Dundas and Gerrard they have deferred consideration of any changes into the future. A recent serious injury to a cyclist on Logan underscores the need to implement measures ahead of any permanent upgrades.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to implement measures to protect cyclists on Logan Avenue between Eastern Avenue and Dundas Street during the Ontario Line Construction ahead of permanent upgrades to the Logan Avenue bike lanes.

Pending Road Safety Studies in Ward 19 - The Road to Vision Zero
Road safety is one of the most common concerns that I hear from residents in the community, and it continues to a top priority for me as a Councillor. Vision Zero is a commitment to eliminating all traffic fatalities and injuries on our roads. While these studies are aimed at very specific roads within Beaches-East York, they exemplify many of the barriers to implementing the goal that is Vision Zero across the City of Toronto. When there is a history of collisions in a given area and residents are consistently reaching out and telling their local councillor that they feel unsafe crossing at a particular intersection we need to listen and we need to act. There is more work to be done to bring our policies here at the City of Toronto in line with our commitment to Vision Zero and to bring about a more proactive approach to road safety in our communities.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Service to report back in the first quarter of 2023 to the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommended options for measures to improve road safety at Lake Shore Boulevard East and Woodbine Avenue, as outlined in MM11.15, which include; a. an overview of any community consultation undertaken as part of report preparation; and b. an implementation timeline and any necessary budget requirements to install any measures identified in the report. 2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Service to undertake a comprehensive Road Safety Review of Gerrard Street 400 metres east and 400 metres west of Main Street, with a particular focus on opportunities to improve safety at Gerrard Street and Norwood Road, as outlined in TE15.29.

Re-Open Item TE29.74 - Additional Speed Hump on Hillsdale Ave East
I am writing to request your support in re-opening item TE29.74 in order to amend the second recommendation toward installing an additional speed hump on Hillsdale Ave East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road. Traffic Operations staff brought it my office's attention that a wrong date was provided for the technical drawing. Despite the existing speed humps, speeding is a major problem on a section of the street, especially between nos. 176 and 244 Hillsdale Ave East due to an inadequate number of speed humps on that section. Traffic Operations staff visited the location, and identified that it is feasible to install an additional hump in the vicinity of nos. 226 and 227 Hillsdale Ave East to address the speeding and safety concerns.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened Item TE.29.74 titled "Additional Speed Hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road" with respect to Recommendation 2. 2. Replaced Recommendation 2 with the following: 2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter section of the roadway to install one speed hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3963, dated November 2021, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.
