Kensington Market Safe Streets Implementation: Prioritizing Pedestrians in Kensington Market
Kensington Market is a cultural, community and commercial centre and a destination with high pedestrian traffic and local business operations. In 2024 and 2025, road rehabilitation and watermain replacement is programmed on several streets within Kensington Market due to the condition of the aging infrastructure: - Augusta Avenue from College Street to Dundas Street West - Baldwin Street from Augusta Avenue to Spadina Avenue - Nassau Street from Bellevue Avenue to Augusta Avenue - Kensington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Baldwin Street - St. Andrew Street from Kensington Avenue to Spadina Avenue The programmed work presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve safety and accessibility while supporting local businesses. Extensive feedback from local stakeholders and the public has been sought through three rounds of consultation between Fall 2021 and Spring 2023. Transportation Services is recommending a design that will prioritize pedestrians while accommodating slow speed vehicle access for local residents and enhancing loading opportunities for businesses. Key features include: - Mid-block curb extensions to calm vehicular traffic and provide space for cafes, pedestrians and furnishings (bike parking, waste receptacles, etc.); - Curb extensions and reduced corner radii at intersections wherever possible; - Widened sidewalks on Augusta Street, Nassau Street and St. Andrew Street; - A universally-accessible rolled curb installed on all streets; - Concrete pavers on roadways that are permeable where possible to filter and reduce stormwater runoff; - Dedicated Commercial Loading Areas - 160 metres of commercial loading area, providing twelve (12) spaces for large delivery trucks; - Flexible Loading Areas - 234 metres of by-lawed no-parking areas that would allow temporary loading, deliveries and pick-up and drop-off, providing eighteen (18) spaces for large delivery trucks or forty-two (42 spaces) for passenger vehicles; - Reduced speed limits on all streets in the project area from 30 km/h to 20 km/h; - More bike parking and Bike Share Toronto stations; - Pedestrian-scale street lighting in partnership with the Kensington Market BIA; and - Street trees added where possible. Transportation Services also proposes to pursue a pedestrianisation pilot project following the completion of construction. This would allow more time to consult with local businesses and residents, other City Divisions and the public to determine the best balance for Kensington Market that puts pedestrians first, while also keeping the Market accessible for businesses and local residents. Staff would form and work closely with a local stakeholder committee to consult on, implement and evaluate a temporary pedestrianised zone within Kensington Market. Consultation on the pedestrianisation pilot would begin in 2024 during the tendering and construction periods of the project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of the Kensington Market Safe Streets Project and all required by-law amendments to Toronto Municipal Code Chapters 903, 910, 925, 950, as generally described in Attachment 1 to the report (June 6, 2023) from the Director, Project Design and Management. 2. Directed staff to form and work closely with a local stakeholder committee to consult on and propose to implement a time-restricted pilot project to test and evaluate a pedestrianised zone following construction of the capital works. 3. Directed Transportation Services and Engineering and Construction Services staff, in consultation with Economic Development and Culture, to work closely with the community and local businesses while completing detailed design, to develop a plan to: a. minimize the construction disruption in Kensington Market; b. ensure delivery and pickup access to each business throughout and following construction; c. provide robust and regular notification to all businesses before and during the construction period; d. work closely with community and local businesses to minimize and to communicate any property, delivery, loading and other impacts; and e. evaluate whether to reduce the speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 20 kilometres per hour on Nassau Street, between Augusta Avenue and Spadina Avenue. 4. Requested the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services to include in the detailed design all reasonable measures to discourage non-resident through-traffic through Kensington Market. 5. Requested the General Manager, Economic and Community Development and Culture to take every reasonable step to assist Kensington Market businesses throughout construction. 6. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture report directly to City Council on any impacts on small business in the Kensington Market Safe Streets Implementation: Prioritizing Pedestrians in Kensington Market.

All-Way Stop Control at St. Clarens Avenue and Shirley Street
Traffic Operations was requested by Vision Zero to review proposed sidewalk and curb improvements for St. Clarens Avenue and Shirley Street which would provide safe crossing in all directions at the intersection. The intersection is currently uncontrolled, and pedestrians were crossing at their own risk. As a result, an All-Way Stop Control (AWSC) warrant was undertaken to determine if an AWSC could be installed at this intersection. While an AWSC was found not to be warranted, staff determined it would be beneficial to have an AWSC installed here due to the following reasons: -The presence of a nearby school (Shirley Street Junior Public School) which also houses City View Alternative Senior School, an EarlyON Child and Family Centre, and a YMCA Child Care Centre -Providing crossing at the intersection for students and parents/guardians -An opportunity to provide safe crossing in all directions -To mitigate conflicts amongst motorists, cyclists and pedestrians -Network connectivity; this control will provide a route with protected pedestrian crossings that connect to the new signals on Lansdowne Avenue and the West Toronto Railpath

Permit Parking Amendments on Campbell Avenue
My office received a petition from residents of Campbell Avenue requesting changes to the permit parking hours on Campbell Avenue between Dupont Street and Antler Street, including a rush hour parking prohibition from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. While there was support in favour of this initiative, there is a highly utilized employment building on Campbell Avenue and a concern was raised about customer parking during these hours. As a result, I am recommending that the permit parking hours be implemented on a section of the block instead of the full block. These changes will balance the loading and parking needs of the local businesses in the area, and residents are supportive of this compromise in the changes.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the even (west) side of Campbell Avenue, from Antler Street to Dupont Street. 2.

CaféTO Curb Lane Cafés on Queen Street West
Queen Street West will be undergoing a significant amount of construction and transit modifications due to the Ontario Line project, including hosting potential public transit diversions, over the next several years. As a result, businesses that may be eligible for a curb lane café in 2023 may not be able to install that café in future years. There is also the potential that some operators may not be able to participate for the full duration of the 2023 CaféTO season should there be nearby unexpected construction impacts. To mitigate the impact of these challenges, this motion seeks to assist businesses with the option to install a temporary ramp in 2023 instead of a temporary accessible platform should there be a need to revoke their curb lane café permit due to construction impacts this year.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards or General Manager , Transportation Services to exempt curb lane café permit areas on Queen Street West between University Avenue and Bathurst Street from the requirements of § 742-10.4. B(6) and B(7) and § 742-10.4 C(1) and C(3) of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays, to October 15, 2023, but require any affected permit holder to do the following during that period: a. install a temporary ramp in their permit area which provides for safe access to the permit area from the sidewalk in accordance with the requirements of § 742-10.4 C(2).

Year Round Curb Lane Café Operations on King Street West
City Council, at its meeting of November 26 and 27, 2019 adopted the extension of the approval for year-round operation of parklets and parklet cafés on King Street and Duncan Street until April 14, 2023. The original staff report, King Street Transit Pilot - Outdoor Cafés & Public Installations in the Curb Lane Public Spaces was adopted March 26th and 27th, 2018. Curb lane cafés that were issued permits prior to CaféTO have continued to operate from 2020 to 2023 within the original parklet café requirements and permissions implemented as part of the King Street Transit Pilot in 2018. These requirements pre-date the creation of Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays in 2019 and the guidelines established through the CaféTO program in 2020. Curb lane café operators under the King Street Transit Pilot umbrella were required to pay an application fee and install a temporary accessible platform which they were permitted to keep in place curb lane year-round. Curb lane cafés approved within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor catchment area prior to the implementation of Chapter 742 and the CaféTO Guidelines do not meet current traffic safety and placement criteria, including intersections setbacks and the required cycling offset. To bring King Street cafés into compliance with current requirements, site specific traffic safety and placement reviews will be completed by staff and new traffic safety plans developed for each location in 2024. While new permit application submissions, including temporary accessible platform plans, will be required to obtain revised R58 permits, the requisite fees were paid by the King Street operators for their original permits and will not be charged again.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the temporary closure to vehicular traffic of the westerly southbound curb lane of Duncan Street between a point 4.2 metres south of Richmond Street West and a point 27.1 metres further south from April 14, 2023 to December 31, 2023 inclusive, for the operation of a parklet café. 2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to extend permits that were issued before June 1, 2020 and remained active until April 14, 2023 for existing R58 curb lane café permit holders on Duncan Street and within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor until December 31, 2023. 3. City Council authorize the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to extend permits that were issued after April 15, 2023 for existing R58 curb lane café permit holders within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor until December 31, 2023. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to report back before the end of 2023 assessing the feasibility of the continuance of year-round curb lane café operations within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor, and identify the required permit conditions for curb lane café permits issued in 2024 and beyond.

In July of 2022, City Council approved Official Plan Amendment Zoning By-law Amendment applications in order to permit the redevelopment of the lands at 1406-1428 Yonge Street with a mixed use building ( Agenda Item History - 2022.TE34.44 (toronto.ca ). At the time of the approval, it was unknown whether the parkland contribution in respect of the redevelopment would be fulfilled by way of a cash-in-lieu of parkland contribution or an off-site parkland dedication, or a combination thereof. Since that time, the owner, in consultation with my office, has proposed to add 1404 Yonge Street to the development proposal in order to provide adjacent open space as off-site parkland. City staff require direction from City Council to accept the 1404 Yonge Street property in partial fulfilment of the Section 42 requirements for the redevelopment of 1406-1428 Yonge Street. The conveyance of the1404 Yonge Street property (which is encumbered by existing easements and agreements) to the City would satisfy 50% of the parkland dedication requirement, with the remaining 50% to be satisfied through a cash-in-lieu payment prior to the issuance of the first above grade permit. In order to provide the 1404 Yonge Street property as open space for off-site parkland, the existing building must be demolished, triggering a requirement for heritage and rental housing demolition applications. Those matters are being considered by TEYCC at this meeting (Agenda Item History - 2023.TE6.30 (toronto.ca) and Agenda Item History - 2023.TE6.18 (toronto.ca) respectively), and therefor this motion is urgent. The 2022 approval also contemplated a Section 37 financial contribution of $3,380,000.00, payable prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit, to be allocated to a variety of matters. Some of these matters will be provided by the applicant in-kind, on-site or in the vicinity of the site. This motion further clarifies that the secured Section 37 financial contribution may be fulfilled by an indexed cash contribution of $2,850,000.00, and an indexed letter of credit in the amount of $530,000.00 to secure the provision of in-kind benefits, consistent with the matters secured in the approved zoning by-law. The City Solicitor requires this clarification so that the Section 37 Agreement can be drafted accordingly.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1.

Rescind Turning Restrictions on Hillsdale Avenue for Vehicles Exiting Art Shoppe Condominium
I'm writing today to request your support in rescinding the turning restrictions that were installed on Hillsdale Avenue East prior to occupancy at 2131 Yonge Street (Art Shoppe Condominium). Just prior to occupancy in 2020, there was concern amongst residents and the South Eglinton and Davisville Ratepayers' Association (SEDRA) that traffic exiting out of the southern driveway of Art Shoppe Condos would cause significant traffic infiltration in the community east of Yonge. However, through site plan approval, the number of vehicular parking spots was decreased and the commercial profile changed to smaller tenants. Upon reviewing the traffic volumes in spring 2022 undertaken by members of the condo found that traffic was 20% less than what was projected by the developer. In this spirit, the Board at Art Shoppe Condos has requested our office move forward with rescinding these restrictions to allow for easier and flexible egress from the Condo. My office has received confirmation from SEDRA that they are in accordance with this proposal.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing westbound right turn prohibition in effect at all times at the intersection of Hillsdale Avenue East and the private driveway at 2131 Yonge Street located on the north side of Hillsdale Avenue East, approximately 70 metres east of Yonge Street. 2.
