Parking and Traffic Regulations - The Well Development
This development is currently under construction and consists of seven mixed-use buildings and underground parking. The development is being referred to as 'The Well' by the consortium of developers who are collectively involved in the project. The project includes residential, office and retail components and all of the buildings on the site are proposed to include at least two of the three proposed uses. All buildings would include a base building and a taller building element with a retail component within the first two floors. The first underground level would also include a lower concourse level which would include retail uses as well as loading facilities. All of the buildings fronting on Front Street West would include an office component within the base building. All of the proposed buildings, except for the proposed office tower at the corner of Front Street and Spadina Ave. would include a residential component located in the taller portion of the buildings. This development is bounded by Spadina Avenue to the east, Draper Street to the west, Front Street West to the south and Wellington Street West to the north. As part of this development, various on-street parking and traffic amendments have been proposed on Front Street West and Wellington Street West in particular. Specifically, changes to the lane configuration at the Spadina Avenue/Front Street West intersection; a new traffic control signal at the main site access driveway on Front Street West (which will be located approximately 175 metres east of the existing signal at Portland Street and Front Street West); a new mid-block traffic control signal on Wellington Street (which will be located approximately 210 metres west of Spadina Avenue); and a series of parking lay-by areas on Wellington Street and Front Street West, which are intended to be used for parking and/or pick-up/drop-off purposes. All on-street parking and traffic amendments require by-law approval by Toronto and East York Community Council. Of note, Transportation Services staff was unable to conduct a detailed on-street parking review on Front Street West given the on-going construction activity in this area. Therefore these on-street parking amendments will be addressed by a separate motion to be tabled at a later date.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the amendments to City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 910 and Chapter 950, parking regulations on Wellington Street West and Front Street West, as described in Attachment 1 to the letter (September 7, 2023) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.

Mokaben Inc and By The Way Café have operated a sidewalk patio at 400 Bloor Street West for many years in the same location. Because the café is located on Bloor Street, they are not eligible for a CafeTO roadway encroachment permit; the sidewalk is their only patio option. This is a valuable local institution with significant local support, which should be permitted to continue. Councillor Saxe has been working with staff to clarify appropriate rules for sidewalk patios in locations that are ineligible for roadway patios, but there is considerable work still to be done. In the interim, Mokaben Inc. and By The Way Café require clarity on their right to operate.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council grant a temporary exemption from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024 to Mokaben Inc. and By The Way Café operating at 400 Bloor Street West from any restrictions on the location and use of their existing patio that may be created by Chapter 742, Section 10.12A, Section 10.8A(2), Section 9.7A(2) or Section 10.9A(1) or Chapter 693, Section 17B(1) of the Toronto Municipal Code, provided that the dimensions of the patio remain no greater than they were on August 1, 2023.

Improving Pedestrian Safety at Frankland Public School
Frankland Public School is located on Logan Avenue, immediately south of Danforth Avenue, both of which are busy roads. On Logan Avenue, between Garnock Avenue and Danforth Avenue, directly adjacent to the school, there is an existing marked crosswalk that is extremely faded and requires refreshing. I am writing today to seek your support in improving the school safety zone measures around Frankland School.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested that Transportation Services repaint and refresh the existing crosswalks on Logan Avenue between Garnock Avenue and Danforth Avenue and report back to the October 18, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council to provide an exact timeline for this work. 2. Requested that Transportation Services install "slow down" road markings on Logan Avenue between Garnock Avenue and Danforth Avenue and report back to the October 18, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council to provide an exact timeline for this work.

Mortimer Avenue Speed limit Reduction
Mortimer Avenue between Pape Avenue and Broadview Avenue is heavily trafficked east-west residential road used by many commuters and locals alike to travel through East York. It also serves as a main connection to Pottery Road and the DVP. I have heard from many local residents concerned about traffic safety along this section of Mortimer, noting that vehicles frequently exceed the speed limit. This letter includes a recommendation to reduce the speed limit along Mortimer Avenue in order to improve safety along the street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested that Transportation Services consult with the Toronto Transit Commission to determine if a speed limit reduction from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on Mortimer Avenue, between Broadview Avenue and Coxwell Avenue, is feasible for their bus operations and report back to the October 18, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Mortimer Avenue Traffic Safety - Pape to Broadview
Mortimer Avenue between Pape Avenue and Broadview Avenue is heavily trafficked east-west residential road used by many commuters and locals alike to travel through East York. It also serves as a main connection to Pottery Road and the DVP. I have heard from many local residents concerned about traffic safety along this section of Mortimer, noting that vehicles frequently exceed the speed limit. Additionally, there have been at least two reported serious pedestrian injuries along this section of Mortimer Avenue as well as recent tragic pet hit and runs. I am writing today to request a comprehensive traffic safety study to make this street safer for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Service to review the list of traffic safety suggestions from local residents on Mortimer Avenue outlined in Attachment 1 to the letter (September 15, 2023) from Councillor Paula Fletcher and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community in the first quarter of 2024 with recommendations to improve traffic and pedestrian safety on Mortimer Avenue, between Broadview Avenue and Pape Avenue.

Protecting and Upgrading Jimmie Simpson Playground due to Ontario Line Construction
I am seeking your support today to reaffirm Council direction in TE5.46 that the City should not grant Metrolinx access agreements to Jimmie Simpson Playground unless the City has a written commitment from Metrolinx to restore and upgrade the playground and wading pool. While Metrolinx has always promised that park impacts from the Ontario Line construction will be minimal to non-existent, the City was very recently informed that Metrolinx has requested an access agreement to construct a retaining wall in Jimmie Simpson Playground (see attached MX communication regarding park impacts). This would involve an at least one week closure of multiple play structures, a several month reduction in space in the playground including impacting the largest play structure by closing off one side of it, and the relocation of a swing set. Jimmie Simpson Playground is a beloved and well-used neighbourhood destination, through all seasons.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council withhold the access agreement to Jimmie Simpson Park until the undertaking for the replacement of the wading pool, replacement the playscape and without the public release of the planned replacement wall has been received.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Fletcher recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council request the Executive Director, Transit Expansion Office to report directly to the October 11, 12 and 13, 2023 meeting of City Council on the status of the access agreements for Metrolinx in Jimmie Simpson Park and request for replacement of the wading pool and playscape as requested by City Council in Item 2023.TE5.46. 2. City Council withhold the access agreement to Jimmie Simpson Park until the undertaking for the replacement of the wading pool, replacement the playscape and without the public release of the planned replacement wall has been received.

Creating a Construction Hub on Danforth, between Westlake Avenue and Dawes Road
The purpose of this motion is to establish a Construction Hub on Danforth Avenue, between Westlake Avenue and Dawes Road. Already, demolition and construction activities are underway for four high-rise developments, with an additional five applications currently under review. Altogether, ~7,000 new homes are expected to be constructed within this area in the years ahead. In response to the rapid pace of development within the area and the need to ensure public safely, it is critical that the City take a proactive and coordinated approach to construction management. This includes proactive logistical planning of the right-of-way, holistic review of Construction Management Plans, and collaboration with enforcement officers. The Construction Hub will also help to minimize impacts on this community and ensure that residents and businesses are provided with real-time information. This includes both the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 and the Main Square Day Care Centre, which are both continuing operations in close proximity to ongoing construction activities.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the feasibility of establishing a Construction Hub on Danforth Avenue between Westlake Avenue and Dawes Road, along the same model as existing Construction Hubs, particularly, the Yonge-Eglinton Construction Hub, and to report back to the October 18, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council with recommendations.

Construction Hub Expansion Review
We are writing to request for an assessment to be conducted on expanding the existing Construction Hub coverage in Ward 11 (University-Rosedale), Ward 13 (Toronto Centre), and Ward 14 (Toronto-Danforth), as well as establishing a Construction Hub in Ward 12 (Toronto-St. Paul's). This request to expand the Construction Hub coverage is in view of the rapid pace of developments as is evidenced by the large number of active and planned developments in our wards. It is crucial that we begin taking steps to proactively envisage logistical planning of the right-of-way, review Construction Management Plans, connect travelers with real-time information, collaborate with enforcement officers and communicate impacts and changes to businesses and communities in our neighbourhoods. The additional hub coverage should be set up replicating the Yonge and Eglinton Construction Hub model that was instituted in 2019, and the existing Downtown Hub, which have by-and-large been a success. At the numerous community consultation meetings that we have had, residents and community stakeholders alike have consistently called for coordinating truck movements, improving accessibility, signage and road markings, and undertaking temporary road design changes, on a case-by-case basis.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review the feasibility of expanding the existing Construction Hub coverage in Ward 11 (University-Rosedale), Ward 12 (Toronto-St. Paul's), Ward 13 (Toronto Centre) and Ward 14 (Toronto-Danforth), along the same model as the existing Yonge-Eglinton Hub, and provide an update to the October 18, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Altering Turning Restrictions at Old Forest Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West
I am writing to you today to request your support in implementing turning restrictions at Old Forest Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West. These turning restrictions were requested by the community several years ago but due to the over-extended presence of Metrolinx, residents were advised that the city did not have purview over the intersection and its traffic by-laws. My office has now received confirmation from Metrolinx staff that they do not have purview over the intersection anymore and that city staff may proceed in making the necessary changes to dissuade through-traffic in the neighbourhood.
