This staff report is about speed limit reductions for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws. The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy focuses on how higher speeds contribute to higher risk of serious injuries and fatalities, and that setting lower speed limits is a key tool for reducing operating speeds on Toronto's roadways. The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System, and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 kilometres per hour on a neighbourhood basis. With this approach the City is no longer required to sign every individual street within that designated area but only the entry and exit points to / from the designated area where speed limits change and any internal roads with a different speed limit. In 2015, Toronto and East York Community Council reduced all local roadways with speed limits of 50 kilometres per hour and 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour within the Toronto and East York Community Council area. The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 kilometres per hour on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in the parts of Ward 12 that were not reduced to 30 kilometres per hour in 2015. These areas were not added to the Toronto and East York Community Council area until 2018. This will complete the reduction of speed limits on all local roads in the Toronto and East York Community Council area to 30 kilometres per hour. This measure supports the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Designated areas in Ward 12 as a designated area with an associated speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour, with the exception of specified excluded highways or bridges, and amended the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, generally as outlined in Attachment 1 to the report (August 30, 2023) from the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services.

Residents have contacted our office to share their concerns regarding dangerous driving and other reckless behaviour on Turnberry Avenue. As General Mercer Junior Public School sits near the intersection of Turnberry Avenue and Old Weston Road, many concerns relate to the safety of children who cross their street to access the school. In 2019, a young child was hit near this intersection resulting in the installation of speed humps on Turnberry east of Old Weston. In a poll conducted, residents overwhelmingly supported the installation of speed humps on the opposite end of Turnberry Avenue. We consulted with the Toronto Paramedic Services District 3 office located on this street, confirming there would be no disruption to operations resulting from this change.
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 hump) on Turnberry Avenue, between Union Street/Benny Stark Street and Old Weston Road. 2.

In consultation with residents in the McGill-Granby Neighbourhood, on-street parking amendments are being proposed to ensure pedestrian safety by increasing visibility on the south side of Granby Street.

Safety and Convenience Improvements along Gladstone Avenue
These bylaw changes were developed and informed through the stakeholder and public consultation for the Bartlett-Havelock-Gladstone Cycling Connections project. While City Council approved delegated authority for the bylaws associated with the project, further approval is required as these changes were not included in the delegated authority. Parking is currently on the north side of Cross Street except when prohibited every Thursday between April and November (inclusive). On Thursdays during those months, parking is permitted only on the south side of Cross Street. This motion is to affix parking on the north side of Cross Street at all times, which will allow deliveries to the Fairview Nursing Home any day of the week, and to provide added convenience for on-street permit parking holders by requiring them to move their vehicles on Thursdays. The accessible loading zone on the south side will remain. A stop sign southbound on Gladstone at Alma Avenue is added as part of the Gladstone contra-flow bike lane project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended traffic and parking regulations in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, as generally described in Attachment 1 to the letter (September 14, 2023) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo.

In April 2022, Council approved bylaw 294-2023: Item - 2022.IE28.7 to adjust traffic and parking regulations to accommodate the Douro Street and Wellington Street Road Safety and Bikeway Improvements project as part of the Council approved Cycling Network Plan. The loading zone in question was adjusted as part of a Cycling Network Plan project on Wellington Street which required the relocation of the loading zone used predominantly by 1Hotel, previously located on Wellington Street West just East of Bathurst Street, to Bathurst Street between Wellington Street West and Stewart Street. The existing loading zone bylaw and subsequent signage does not adequately account for deliveries and patron arrivals which in many cases require the driver to enter the business in order to have deliveries received, sign invoices, alert valet parking etc., which has resulted in both patrons and service providers of the business receiving multiple parking infractions. This motion proposes to change the bylaw and signage, to reflect the nature of the need on the street by providing a 15 minute grace period for loading needs.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind the designated passenger loading zone in effect at all times, except 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday on the east side of Bathurst Street between a point 15 metres north of Wellington Street West and Stewart Street. 2. City Council authorize parking for a maximum period of 15 minutes to be in effect at all times, except 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Bathurst Street between a point 15 metres north of Wellington Street West and Stewart Street.
