Vehicle Prohibition over 2.0 metres - Kristen Fahrig Lane
Residents in the Bloordale neighbourhood reached out to the City of Toronto requesting signage prohibiting vehicles over 2.0 metres in width from travelling in Kristen Fahrig Lane. The purpose of prohibitive signage is to help with restricting large and heavy vehicles from travelling on the public lane in a way that adversely impacts abutting residents by causing property and road damage while also creating unsafe conditions for other users of the laneway. I am requesting that prohibitive signage be installed at the subject location as recommended below.

Four Oaks Gate - Rush Hour Turn Restriction
Dear Councillor Perks and Toronto and East York Community Council, Four Oaks Gate is a residential street located north of O'Connor Drive, near the Don Mills Rd entrance to the Don Valley Parkway. I have heard from residents that vehicles often cut-through along Four Oaks Gate to skip the queue of vehicles along O'Connor Drive and access the Don Valley Parkway more quickly. I have polled the community and local residents support the implementation of a right turn restriction at Four Oaks Gate and O'Connor Drive
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council prohibit westbound right turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, at the intersection of O'Connor Drive and Four Oaks Gate.

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 - Laneway North of Queen Street East and East of Greenwood Avenue
Over the past few months my office has been working with residents and businesses in the Queen and Greenwood area to find a solution to persistent blocking of the laneway by delivery trucks. Transportation has provided alternatives and petitions from both the businesses and residents have been submitted to my office asking for a no-stopping regulation to be added to the laneway.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on both sides of the Laneway North of Queen Street East, between Greenwood Avenue and the east end of the laneway North of Queen Street East and East of Greenwood Avenue.

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.

Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, from the 1st day to the 15th day of each month, from April 1st to November 30th, 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 east. 4. Prohibited parking at all times, from the 1st day to the 15th day of each month, from April 1st to November 30th, inclusive on the south side of Manchester Avenue between Shaw Street and a point 72 metres east of Ossington Avenue. 5.

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.

I am writing to respectfully request the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Heath Street West and Tweedsmuir Ave/Lower Village Gate.

Dear Chair and Members, I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Cuthbert Crescent, between Manor Road East and Belsize Drive. 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. My office has reviewed video evidence of several "close shaves" involving kids, and we have worked closely with Traffic Operations staff in coming up with the accompanying recommendations.
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 Cuthbert Crescent, between Manor Road East and Belsize Drive. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter a section of the roadway on Cuthbert Crescent, between Manor Road East and Belsize Drive, to install three speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing No. 421G-4099' dated June 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

Poll Residents of Wychcrest Avenue - Installation of Speed Humps
I am writing to respectfully request your support to re-poll residents of Wychcrest Avenue, between Melita Crescent (west intersection) and Melita Crescent (east intersection), in order to install speed humps on their street. Residents of the street previously requested for the installation of speed humps a couple of years ago; however, the process was truncated due to an unfavourable poll. Recently, there have been renewed concerns on the street around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger kids. Following confirmation that the moratorium date has elapsed, my office has worked with traffic operations staff to poll eligible residents once again.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to request the City Clerk to poll eligible householders on Wychcrest Avenue, between Melita Crescent (west intersection) and Melita Crescent (east intersection), to determine whether residents support the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy. 2. Subject to favourable results of the poll: a. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Wychcrest Avenue, between Melita Crescent (west intersection) and Melita Crescent (east intersection); and b. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of four speed humps on Wychcrest Avenue, between Melita Crescent (west intersection) and Melita Crescent (east intersection), generally as shown on the attached drawing No. 421G-3448 dated June 2019, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.
