Parking Amendments - Walmer Road
My office was approached by the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study Lab School to look at the potential of establishing a new pick-up and drop-off zone in front of the school, and to provide the option for 10 minute parking spaces during school hours. The amended times as proposed by staff below, and agreed to by the school will ensure the safety of the children attending the school and allow for more efficient access to the school by parents and caregivers. This approach is supported by the Toronto Police Services who advised the school to seek these permissions to help alleviate congestion and illegal parking at the start of the school day. Under the current conditions, following 8:45 am, parents who are dropping off a young child into the school have no means to park legally in the vicinity of the school. This is the same for parents who have been called to pick up a sick child. I am always happy to support initiatives that will make our neighbourhoods safer places for our children to get to and from their school and am happy to support the recommendations below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Walmer Road, between a point 30.5 metres south of Kendal Avenue and a point 85.4 metres south of Kendal Avenue. 2.

St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Traffic Studies
In early 2019, residents of the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association presented a third party, independent road safety audit that identified several intersections as being dangerous. These intersections included: Jarvis Street and The Esplanade; Church Street and the Esplanade; Front Street East and Jarvis Street; King Street East and Jarvis Street; Adelaide Street East and Church Street; Jarvis Street and Adelaide Street East; and, Front Street East and Scott Street.

This audit was delivered to Transportation Services for review, with the expectation that some recommendations on be formally adopted for road safety and intersection improvements. Traffic has continued to worsen at these intersections, in part due to ongoing construction in the area and in major road closures downtown that diverted traffic into the neighbourhood.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council endorse the request for 4:00 a.m. extensions to licensed hours for indoor spaces only, for those businesses listed in Revised Attachment 1 to the letter (June 10, 2019) from Councillor Cressy, and advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that it has no objection, with Revised Attachment 1 amended by deleting the following establishment: - Casa Loma. 2. City Council request the City Clerk to notify the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and the event coordinator for the Toronto International Film Festival, that temporary patio extensions are not endorsed through this decision and that each establishment must apply individually through the City's temporary liquor licence application process.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Cressy recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council consider the request from TIFF to be designated as an "event of municipal significance" and to consider the requests for extended licensed hours or areas listed in Attachment 1 and recommend to City Council endorsements of extensions to licensed hours or areas.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close to vehicular traffic the northerly westbound lane on Fleet Street, between Bathurst Street and Iannuzzi Street, in order to improve safety and public realm. This change would simplify the intersection for motorists and pedestrians alike by eliminating a redundant right-turn movement at a busy intersection, shorten the north-south pedestrian crossing distance on the west side of Bathurst Street, and accommodate public realm improvements. This project is consistent with the City Council approved Fort York Neighbourhood Public Realm Plan, the Fort York and Railway Lands West Neighbourhoods Class Environmental Assessment Study, the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan Study, the Waterfront Transit Network Plan, and the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the permanent closure to vehicular traffic the northerly westbound lane on Fleet Street, between Bathurst Street and Iannuzzi Street, as shown in Attachment 1 - Layout Plan attached to the report (June 17, 2019) from the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services. 2. Subject to the approval of Recommendation 1 above, City Council authorize the amendments to traffic regulations set out in Attachment 2 of the report (June 17, 2019) from the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services. 3. City Council authorize and direct the appropriate City Officials to take the necessary action to give effect to the recommendations above, including the introduction of any Bills that may be required.

Parking Amendments on Vaughan Road
The Oakwood Vaughan Community Organization (OVCO) had reached out to my office to find a solution for sightline concerns identified at the intersection of Vaughan Road and Alameda Avenue. Due to the presence of a school bus loading zone for the Davisville Junior Public School at 529 Vaughan Road, there was an obstruction of sightlines for motorists trying to get from Alameda Avenue onto Vaughan Road. To address the concerns, my office coordinated a site visit with Traffic Operations, OVCO, the School Principal, and Toronto District School Board (TDSB) staff. At the meeting, it was agreed that the best approach to address this is to amend the school loading zone and allow for more space for motorists to see incoming traffic. Both OVCO and the school support the change, with the condition of installing safety railings for students in the portion that would have the loading zone rescinded, to ensure students are protected from live traffic. The safety railings have been installed by Transportation Services on June 19, 2019, meeting the condition provided. Therefore, I would like to proceed with the requested by-law change as specified underneath.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind a portion of the existing school bus loading zone in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily, on the northeast side of Vaughan Road between a point 15 metres southeast of Alameda Avenue and a point 14 metres further southeast.

Extending the Road Alteration and Parking Amendment Pilot Project - Avenue Road
City Council on July 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2017 adopted Item TE25.88 entitled 'Road Alteration and Parking Amendment Pilot Project -Avenue Road' and in so doing, approved the alteration of Avenue Road, between Lynwood Avenue and Balmoral Avenue, generally as shown on Drawing No. 421G-2393, dated February 2017. Upon completion of a one-year trial period, Avenue Road is to be returned to its previous conditions. Since the installation of the safety elements of the pilot project, my office has received positive feedback from the school and parents who take their children to Brown Junior Public School, along with advocates for more pedestrian safety on Avenue Road. We have also received constructive feedback as to how these alterations can be enhanced further, so that they can provide for more access and safety for cyclists as well as enhance traffic flow. In response to this feedback, Traffic Operations has developed a new lane configuration that we want to implement for a year and observe how these changes improve the overall effect of the pilot. The right-most lane will be a through/right turn lane, the centre lane will be a through lane and the left-most lane will be a through/left turn lane. The introduction of a through/left-turn lane beginning approximately 37 metres north of Balmoral Avenue generally as shown on Drawing No. 421G3393, date April 2019, will provide a separate storage for southbound left-turning vehicles. The width of the pilot area within the right-most lane has been decreased in order to provide a lane width increase to the centre lane. The increased lane width is intended to provide additional separation between a cyclist and a vehicle who are both travelling in the centre lane alongside the pilot area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize an amendment to the previously approved lane configuration on Avenue Road, between Lynwood Avenue and Balmoral Avenue, adopted by City Council on July 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2017 under Item TE25.88 entitled 'Road Alteration and Parking Amendment Pilot Project - Avenue Road', generally as shown in the attached Drawing 421G-3393, dated April 2019. 2. City Council, contingent upon approval of Recommendation 1 above, authorize the continuation of the Road Alteration and Parking Amendment Pilot Project on Avenue Road, between Lynwood Avenue and Balmoral Avenue, adopted under Item TE25.88 on July 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2017 for an additional period of one year. The commencement of the new one-year trial period will begin upon the installation of the new lane configuration set out in Recommendation 1 under Drawing 421G-3393.

Installing a Commercial Loading Zone on Charles Street West
Charles Street West is a roadway in transition. With major rezoning applications in the area, various streetscape plans under development, and Yonge TOmorrow in consultation phase, transportation planning and roadway operations must be carefully planned with the input of area stakeholders. At the March 19, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, staff report TE4.54 - Commercial Loading Zone - Charles Street West was deferred, as neighbourhood residents and stakeholders had voiced concerns that they were not consulted with for this report, as directed at the November 14, 2017 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council through item TE28.68 - Two-way Operation - Charles Street West. Subsequent conversations with the applicant - Shoppers Drug Mart - and the community indicated that a commercial loading zone would be allowable on a temporary basis, so long as it does not preclude the development of new plans for the street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council 1. Designated a commercial loading zone to operate from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., on the south side of Charles Street West, between a point 17 metres west of Yonge Street and a point 15 metres further west for a period of one year. 2. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to report back to May, 2020 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council on whether this commercial loading zone should be extended past 12 months, based on community feedback and other plans for the roadway that may impact the viability of this commercial loading zone.

Lombard Street Parking Amendments
I have been requested by the Board of Directors of The Bentley (MTCC596) at 55 Lombard Street to change a "No Parking" area into a "No Standing" area in front of their building. In addition, Transportation Services would like to amend other parking regulations on Lombard Street to reflect the existing and future signage. Lombard Street has two-way traffic, with parking generally permitted on either side of the street, including Green P Parking. The portion on the south side, in front of 55 Lombard Street, is signed as "No Parking" to permit residents and visitors to enter and exit the parking garage, of which there are two entrances/exits. Parking on the north side was amended in 2016 to accommodate a staging area for a development application at 25 Richmond Street East through item TE18.55, Construction Staging Area - Lombard Street, which was approved by Toronto and East York Community Council on September 7, 2016. MTCC596 brought a concern to our office about the "No Parking" space between the entrances/exits at 55 Lombard Street. This space generally permits vehicles making deliveries or those with an accessible permit to use the space. This activity is creating sight-line issues for vehicles attempting to enter and exit the parking garage, creating a safety concern. Following discussions with Transportation Service, it was requested that the by-law in this space be changed to "No Standing" to preserve sight-lines as was originally attended. Following this request by MTCC596, Transportation Services reviewed the existing parking regulations on Lombard Street and determined that much of the existing signage did not reflect in the approved by-law. In addition to adding the "No Standing" space at the request of MTCC596, Transportation Services is requesting a number of housekeeping amendments to bring the existing signage into conformity with the by-law both before and after road occupancy at 25 Richmond Street East is completed.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized that Lombard Street not be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations upon completion of the construction project at 25 Richmond Street East as previously directed in Item TE18.55, adopted with amendments by Toronto and East York Community Council on September 7, 2016. 2. Enacted the parking regulations set out in attached Appendix A to the Letter (June 24, 2019) from Councillor Wong-Tam, revised by amending four entries under "Parking Machines to be Enacted: as follows: Highway Side Parking Between Hours Fee/Time Limit Maximum Parking Period Lombard Street South A point 20 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 118 metres further east 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat.; 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sun $5.00 for 1 hour 3 hours Lombard Street North A point 9 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 15.1 metres further east 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat.; 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sun $5.00 for 1 hour 3 hours Lombard Street North A point 89.5 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 26.5 metres further east 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat.; 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sun $5.00 for 1 hour 3 hours Lombard Street North A point 146 metres east of Victoria Street and a point 6 metres further east 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat.; 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sun $5.00 for 1 hour 3 hours 3.

Leslie Street and Lake Shore Boulevard - Intersection Safety
Dear Chair and members of the Toronto and East York Community Council, The intersection of Leslie and Lakeshore is one that has seen a lot of changes over the past few years. From the Leslie Barns construction to the commercial development on the South West Corner, to cars accessing Lakeshore, new traffic challenges have arisen. During the Leslie Barns construction, a right-turn on red prohibition was implemented for cars turning from southbound Leslie to Westbound Lakeshore. Many cyclists and pedestrian felt that this improved safety. Unfortunately after the construction finished the prohibition was removed. The advocacy group Doctors for Safe Cycling has asked that this prohibition be made permanent to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists on the Martin Goodman Trail and heading towards the Leslie Street Spit. I am happy to support this request. The intersection is currently under review as part of the Leslieville Traffic Study but in the event that study does not make the changes, I want to ensure that this request can be dealt with separately.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommend: 1. City Council direct Transportation Services to implement a "No Right Turn on Red Prohibition" from southbound Leslie Street to westbound Lake Shore Boulevard, in the event that this is not recommended through the Leslieville Traffic Management and Mitigation Study.

O'Connor Drive Intersection and Traffic Safety Review
O'Connor Drive is an arterial road that serves as the main access point to the Don Valley Parkway for commuters. It is also a residential street used by locals to travel within East York. All local East York roads meet with and feed onto O'Connor Drive and the DVP. Westbound access on O'Connor for northbound traffic is a challenge for drivers coming from north-south arterial roads at peak times. The major intersections of Donlands Avenue & O'Connor Drive and Pape Avenue & O'Connor Drive are particularly dangerous. I have heard from residents that vehicles are frequently speeding along O'Connor Drive, that traffic gets congested at the major intersections on O'Connor because of lined up left turning vehicles, and that collisions have occurred because of left turns occurring at intersections where there are poor sightlines.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommended that: 1. Transportation staff review existing and necessary turn restrictions at Donlands Avenue and O'Connor Drive and Pape Avenue and O'Connor Drive to improve intersection safety and report back with their findings to the March 2020 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. 2. Transportation staff study signal timing at Donlands Avenue and O'Connor Drive and Pape Avenue and O'Connor Drive to reduce congestion and assess the need for implementing advance left turn signals and report back with their findings to the March 2020 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. 3. Transportation staff study any additional considerations to improve overall safety and make O'Connor drive safer for pedestrians to cross and report back with their findings to the March 2020 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

Dundas Street and Jones Avenue Intersection Changes
Yesterday I visited the intersection of Dundas and Jones with community members and senior transportation staff. Unfortunately the intersection is not wide enough for a full Dutch intersection. However there are a number of changes that can be made to improve cycling safety. The changes that were discussed will require Transportation to think creatively and try out things that have not been done previously in Toronto. This motion directs Transportation to begin that process. I hope you support it.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed Traffic Operations staff to work in coordination with the Director, Transportation Planning and Capital Programs to implement changes to the Dundas Street and Jones Avenue intersection, to increase bike safety and minimize bike and vehicular interaction, particularly at the northeast corner, and to report to the September 16, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council for any required approvals.

Resident Petition for Spruce Street Parking Amendments
In May 2019, I received a petition to amend parking regulations on the south side of Spruce Street, generally between Parliament Street and Rolston Avenue, to change a "No Standing" zone to match existing parking regulations in the area. Spruce Street is a local road that permits 3-hour parking during the day, with permit parking in effect between 12:01 a.m. and 10 a.m. The south side of Spruce Street is signed "No Parking" in front of a portion of the commercial business at 1 Spruce Street and 433 Parliament Street, and "No Standing" for the remaining portion until Rolston Avenue, which includes boulevard parking spaces attached to 1 Spruce Street. The remainder of Spruce Street generally allows 3-hour parking during the day, and permit parking between 12:01 a.m. and 10 a.m. Residents on the south side of Spruce Street have been concerned about two issues that they have been experiencing outside of their homes. Despite the area being signed as "No Standing," there are frequently vehicles using this stretch to park their vehicle for short periods of time. While parking enforcement has frequently attended, it has not discouraged this activity. When vehicles are not illegally parking or making deliveries, the relatively wide portion of this road has caused speeding concerns amongst residents, creating a safety concern. While not a focus of their petition, the resident's also acknowledge that this change would slightly expand permit parking in the 7-D area, which is typically at or near capacity. Residents have provided a petition signed by every residential household that would be directly impacted by this parking change, which is 9 to 19 Spruce Street inclusive. The petition specifically asks that the "No Standing" zone in front of homes on the south side of Spruce Street, specifically between 9 and 17 Spruce Street, be changed to permit 3-hour parking during the day, and overnight permit parking. This would align it with parking regulations on the rest of Spruce Street. "No Standing" regulations were maintained in front of 19 Spruce Street to permit trucks backing out of Exchange Lane to the north room to properly exit. The amendment would also not impact the existing "No Standing" regulation in front of the boulevard parking space attached to 1 Spruce Street. Given the unanimous residential support and that this change would support the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, I am requesting that the parking regulations be changed to reflect the wishes of the local residents who would be primarily impacted by this change. Transportation Services has provided these recommendations, and have taken the opportunity to include housekeeping amendments to accurately reflect the existing signage outside of the portion west of 9 Spruce Street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Spruce Street, between Parliament Street and a point 53.3 metres further east, to be in effect from Parliament Street to 21.5 metres east. 2.

Naming of a Public Laneway, South of Elm, between Bay and Yonge
In honour of the 60th anniversary of Barberian's Steak House at 7 Elm Street, the owners would like to name the public laneway south of the property for Harry Barberian, the restaurant's founder. Barberian passed away in 2014. He began his career as a short order cook for a circus' railroad dining car, and went on to found the landmark steakhouse in 1959. He played an important role in Toronto's food scene and history, opening multiple restaurants, writing about restaurant science for numerous publications, and acting as a consultant in the food and beverage industry. The current owners of Barberian's are planning on submitting a formal laneway renaming submission to the City as soon as possible, in consultation with the local BIA, to name the laneway "Harry Barberian Lane." However, the 60th anniversary celebration for Barberian's will be occurring in September, before TEYCC has the opportunity to consider their application. The owners are hoping that if their application is approved, a name unveiling ceremony can coincide with the anniversary celebration in September. It would be much appreciated if City Staff can consider their application in the coming weeks, and report back to July 16 City Council on their findings.
The Toronto and East York Community Council submits the Item to City Council without recommendation.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Layton recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council requests the Director, Engineering Support Services, Engineering and Construction Services prepare a report for the July 16 meeting of City Council on the feasibility of renaming a public laneway, south of Elm, between Bay and Yonge Streets in honour of Harry Barberian, to "Harry Barberian Lane"
