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 Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Walmer Road, between a point 30.5 metres south of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 road safety audit noted safety problems with these intersections, along with potential suggestions to improve conditions and to make travelling these intersections as pedestrians, cyclists or in cars safer. 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 International Film Festival (TIFF) is seeking temporary liquor licences for the establishments listed in Attachment 1. The City Clerk's delegated authority cannot be exercised for some of these premises as they are requesting extensions that do not meet the criteria for the City Clerk's delegated authority (for example, serving of alcohol outdoors later than 11 pm).
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.
