Vision Zero Pop-up Event in Beaches-East York
I am excited to announce that 8 80 Cities, an organization dedicated to improving quality of life and safety in cities around the world, is looking to host a vision zero pop-up in Beaches-East York. Vision Zero has been a key City priority since the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan was approved by Council in 2016. With one pedestrian being seriously injured or killed every 3 days on Toronto's roads we have a lot of work to do on road safety. This pop-up event is a unique and exciting opportunity to move forward the conversation about road safety for all road users. It will be an invitation to residents in my community and from communities all across Toronto to come and see how a complete street looks and feels. It will be an example of all the different ways we can build a safe and happy city through 8 80 Cities' belief that "if everything we do in our public spaces is great for an 8 year old and an 80 year old, then it will be great for all people." This motion asks staff to report back to Council with how we can run a vision zero pop-up on a July or August weekend in 2019. The preliminary design, attached to this letter, proposes to temporarily narrow Danforth Avenue between Woodbine Avenue and Woodmount Avenue to two lanes of traffic (approximately 200 metres) and introducing bump-outs and midblock crossings to enhance safety. By widening the sidewalks, the pop-up will also allow for street-level animation like a performance parklet, pianos for live music, and seating areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back to the May 22, 2019 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting with a report implementing a vision zero pop-up event for one weekend in July or August 2019 in line with what has been proposed by the non-profit organization 8 80 Cities on Danforth Avenue between Woodbine Avenue and Woodmount Avenue, including but not limited to: a. a design allowing for temporary mid-block crossings, bump-outs and other traffic calming measures; b. permissions for temporary street animation tools such as planters, parklets, lighting, and murals; c. permissions for lane closures and parking location changes starting after 9:30 a.m. on a Friday and ending by 6:00 p.m. on a Sunday; d. a recommended date to host the pop-up; and, e. any temporary traffic, parking, or other by-law amendments required to implement the above. 2. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development, in conjunction with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to convene a meeting of the Business Improvement Areas on the Danforth in the study area for the upcoming Complete Street Study to review the Vision Zero program and determine if any of the BIA's are interested in running a Vision Zero pilot or education program in their area; and to review the plans for the upcoming the Danforth Avenue Planning and Complete Street Study, in particular the Retail Vibrancy and Economic Development Report.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Brad Bradford recommends that: 1.

Broadview Station Traffic and Pedestrian Safety
Broadview Subway Station is located on the Bloor-Danforth Subway line, just north of Danforth Avenue, and is a transit hub where the 8 Cosburn, 100 Flemingdon Park, 62 Mortimer, and 87 Cosburn buses and the 504 King and 505 Dundas streetcars pick-up and drop-off passengers. The station is located near the intersection of two arterial roads, Danforth Avenue and Broadview Avenue, and there is a significant volume and variety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the station. The existing streetcar loop is in very close proximity to Broadview Avenue and can only accommodate one of the new, longer streetcars at a time. This leaves any additional streetcars backed up onto Broadview Avenue, blocking traffic and causing congestion. Toronto Transit Commision buses and streetcars enter and exit the station using Erindale Avenue. The intersection of Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue does not currently have a traffic light or pedestrian crosswalk. This presents safety concerns for pedestrians and Toronto Transit Commission vehicles trying to access the station. This motion includes recommendations to protect pedestrians and improve road safety.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation staff to request the Toronto Transit Commission staff to study the possibility of reconfiguring the streetcar loading zone to allow for two streetcars to fit in the streetcar loop at Broadview Station and to report back with their findings to the June 25, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting. 2. Directed Transportation staff to conduct a traffic study for the intersection of Erindale Avenue and Broadview Avenue to identify existing traffic and congestion problems and any recommended changes and to report back with findings to Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting on September 16, 2019.

Crossing guards play an integral role in ensuring student and community safety in many neighbourhoods across Toronto. It is, therefore, vital that crossing guards are present at designated locations each and every day. I have heard from residents about missing crossing guards, new locations where crossing guards are needed, and mixed information about who is responsible for filling these crossing guard positions. It is important that there is a consistent, effective, and responsive program in place to ensure that crossing guard positions are filled and that there is clear information about who is responsible for this program.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Services staff to provide an update on the transfer of the crossing guard program from Toronto Police Services to the City of Toronto at the April 24, 2019 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Realignment of Permit Parking Area "3J" to exclude 871 - 899 College Street
In reference to item TE4.11, 871-899 College Street Zoning Amendment Application and Rental Housing Demolition Applications - Final Report, the exclusion of the development located at 871 - 899 College Street from the 3J 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. Councillor Bailão is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to prohibit the General Manager 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 area cannot absorb the potential influx from another development.
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 "3J" to exclude the development located at 871- 899 College Street.

938-950 King Street West Community Consultation Meeting - Expanded Notice
On March 18, 2019, a community consultation meeting will be held by City Planning staff regarding the re-zoning application for 938-950 King Street West. For each community consultation meeting of this kind, it is my standard practice to bring a request to Community Council in advance, to direct City staff to provide expanded public notice of the event at cost of the applicant. Unfortunately, due to the schedule of meetings in relation to when the meeting was confirmed, it has not been possible to give this direction for 938-950 King Street West. Fortunately, the applicant agreed to work with Community Planning staff on the provision of expanded notification despite the lack of Community Council direction. I am asking that Community Council endorse and retroactively formalize this ad hoc solution in order to help ensure there are no additional challenges or complexities faced by City staff or the applicant in this respect.
The Toronto and East York Community Council approved the following: 1. Further to the community consultation meeting for lands pertaining to 938-950 King Street West held on March 18, 2019, the Toronto and East York Community Council endorse the arrangement made between City staff and the applicant for the notice provided for the community consultation meeting, to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners as determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

Northcliffe Boulevard - Eastbound Right Turn Prohibition
Residents have informed me that when people exit the Green P lot located on Northcliffe Boulevard (south of St. Clair Avenue West), they often illegally turn right and then proceed to drive south. There are two existing one-way arrow signs and a few 'no entry' signs to mark the end of the partial two way operation on Northcliffe Boulevard and the starting point of the one-way north bound operation. However, this has not been sufficient to deter illegal right hand turns. The purpose of this motion is to make right turns illegal from the driveway at the Green P lot located at 94 Northcliffe Boulevard.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited eastbound right turns at all times from the driveway of 94 Northcliffe Boulevard located on the west side of Northcliffe Boulevard at a point 56 metres south of St. Clair Avenue West.

In 2017, in response to a resident petition, Traffic Operations staff undertook a speed hump feasibility study on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent. Due to the fact that the installation criteria was not met, a City poll was undertaken to determine resident support for speed humps on the section of Rankin Crescent; however, the minimum response rate of (50% + 1) was not reached. Of the residents that responded, over 70% supported the idea of having speed humps installed on Rankin Crescent. Given the negative poll results, the speed humps could not be installed at the time. Residents continue to contact my office to this day with concerns over speeding on Rankin Crescent and are asking that speed humps be installed on their street. Given the previous petition and poll results, through this motion I am asking that speed humps be installed on Rankin Crescent. In early March 2018, I sent a letter to Rankin Crescent residents informing them of my intention to proceed with having speed humps installed on their street. To date, feedback has been positive and in full support of having speed humps installed on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the petition and polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and approved the installation of traffic calming on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install five speed humps on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-2600, dated August 2017 attached to the Letter (March 18, 2019) from Councillor Ana Bailão, Ward 9 Davenport.

Installation of Speed Humps on Brock Avenue - Dundas Street West to College Street
In mid-2018, I received a resident petition requesting that speed humps be installed on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street, in order to address safety concerns. Upon receiving the petition, I requested that Traffic Operations staff undertake a speed hump feasibility study. In late 2018, Traffic Operations reported back on my request to have speed humps installed on Brock Avenue. In their report, City staff recommended the installation of speed humps on this section of Brock Avenue, as the installation criteria had been met. Given that speed humps were warranted for installation on Brock Avenue, I informed residents of this by way of letter in early March 2018. To date, feedback regarding this matter has been positive and in support of speed humps on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the petition and polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and approved the installation of traffic calming on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street. 2.

Proposed lay-by for a taxicab stand - 900 Bay Street
The Macdonald Block Complex (900 Bay Street) is home to 12 cabinet ministers, 15 Ontario government ministries and 3,600 Ontario Public Service employees. The complex includes the Macdonald Block Podium, and the Hearst, Hepburn, Mowat and Ferguson towers. Given that this office complex generates numerous taxicab requests and that the current parking regulations surrounding this building prohibit stopping and curbside loading/unloading, I'm requesting that Transportation Services investigate the feasibility of installing a lay-by on Bay Street for the purposes of a taxicab stand.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the feasibility of installing a lay-by to facilitate a taxicab stand on the west side of Bay Street, fronting 900 Bay Street.
