TE7.4adopted
The purpose of this report is to recommend a streamlined process for facilitating Official Plan compliance to implement the Port Lands Flood Protection project, the Port Lands Planning Framework , Precinct Plans, and related Environmental Assessments. The recommendations in this report, if adopted, will create Official Plan Amendments to allow staff to execute any required land transfers between the City and CreateTO and enter into easements that will facilitate utility relocations triggered by the construction of planned infrastructure. A streamlined process will support implementation of works identified in the approved Port Lands Flood Protection project, Port Lands Planning Framework, Precinct Plans and related Environmental Assessments. Examples include CreateTO lands to be transferred to the City for parks and roads, as well as water and wastewater infrastructure. It will also simplify the creation of easements to facilitate electricity distribution and natural gas infrastructure relocation. The proposed Official Plan Amendments will be limited to: - transfers of lands designated Parks and Open Space Areas to support Council-adopted plans, projects or Environmental Assessments for purposes of advancing infrastructure projects; and, - permissions for the City to enter into any future easement agreements with utility companies to permit utilities to cross lands designated Parks and Open Space Areas to service Villiers Island, South River and Polson Quay precincts. Transfers or easements will only be permitted through the proposed Official Plan Amendments where the disposal of any land that is designated Parks and Open Space Areas within the general vicinity of Villiers Island does not preclude public access or significantly reduce the size, functionality or programming of the land. The Official Plan Amendments do not propose any changes in land use designation or reduction in the City's Green Space System. This report does not recommend and will not result in the declaration of surplus any City-owned lands. Staff have reviewed the proposed Official Plan Amendments against the applicable provincial policies and have concluded that the proposed Official Plan Amendments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and intent of Official Plan policies. The local Councillor(s) will be consulted prior to the exercise of delegated approval authority by staff for all disposals of City-owned lands within the subject area.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands in the Port Lands Flood Protection project and enabling infrastructure project area, substantially in accordance with the proposed Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 5 to the report (August 30, 2023) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2. City Council amend the former City of Toronto Official Plan, for the lands in the Port Lands Flood Protection Project and Enabling Infrastructure Project area, substantially in accordance with the proposed Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 6 to the report (August 30, 2023) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendments as may be required.

The Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is applying to amend the Official Plan and seek approval under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code to facilitate the severance of the parcels at 16 and 32 Walpole Avenue from 44 and 66 Walpole Avenue to facilitate the transfer of ownership of 16 and 32 Walpole Avenue from Toronto Community Housing Corporation to Circle Community Land Trust ("CCL"), a non-profit housing operator. Toronto Community Housing Corporation will retain ownership of 44 and 66 Walpole Avenue. The applications are in support of the Tenants First initiative. This proposal does not make any changes to physical forms or functions on site and all 122 rental housing units will remain intact in their existing buildings, with no impacts to existing tenants and rents. The City of Toronto and Circle Community Land Trust have already entered into a Social Housing Agreement, which will be registered on 16 and 32 Walpole Avenue upon transfer of title. This agreement will ensure that 16 and 32 Walpole Avenue will continue to be provided and maintained by future owners as social housing with rents-geared-to-income. There will be no changes to the existing tenancies, and tenants will continue to reserve their existing rights under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and the Rental Housing Conversion application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code in order to implement the City's Tenants First Initiative.

402 and 404 Sherbourne Street - Inclusion on the Heritage Register
This report recommends that City Council include two properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest: 402 and 404 Sherbourne Street. The two properties at 402 and 404 Sherbourne Street have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest. The subject properties are located on the west side of Sherbourne Street north of the intersection of Sherbourne Street and Carlton Street, and include two semi-detached, two-and-a-half storey, mirrored Bay and Gable Victorian residences constructed c.1874. A municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of "cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) now also limits listing to a period of two years. On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Act through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a "Prescribed Event". Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the properties at 402 and 404 Sherbourne Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 1 to the report (August 23, 2023) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.

Construction Staging Area Time Extension - TTC Easier Access Program - Greenwood Station (Stage 4)
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on both Strathmore Boulevard and Linnsmore Crescent, City Council approval of this report is required. As part of the Easier Access Project, Greenwood Station is being equipped with an at grade elevator attached to the existing station building, which will provide accessibility from the eastbound platform to street level, and a below grade elevator that will provide accessibility from the westbound platform to the concourse level. Construction will be undertaken in several phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and lane closures taking place at the intersection of Strathmore Boulevard and Linnsmore Crescent. At the time of this report, TTC was applying for a permit extension of the construction staging for the Greenwood Easier Access project. This report deals with the matters related to Stage 4, scheduled to take place from September 20, 2023 to July 31, 2024. The remaining construction Stages will be discussed in future staff reports. Stage 4 will require the closure of Strathmore Boulevard in its entirety, including the north and south sidewalks, between the west side of Linnsmore Crescent and a point 27 metres west. As a result of the closures, there will be a temporary loss of three permit parking spaces on Strathmore Boulevard during Stage 4. The loss of parking spaces will not negatively impact the Permit Parking Area 7B. The 31 Greenwood buses will divert to Coxwell Station via Danforth Avenue and Coxwell Avenue in all service periods. TTC has requested a time extension for the construction staging areas on Strathmore Boulevard and Linnsmore Crescent, as the construction has been delayed due to labour strikes in 2022, existing site conditions and existing underground interference, and special weather conditions.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Speed Humps on Wellington Street West
At the November 2021 meeting of the Toronto-East York Community Council, a traffic calming review of Wellington Street West between Strachan Avenue and Niagara Street was approved. This review was set to develop options for community engagement in consultation with the local ward Councillor. Following the approval, residents east of Niagara Street have shared their concern with not being a part of this motion. My office has since connected with engaged residents on Wellington Street between Tecumseth and Niagara earlier this year who have requested speed humps and facilitated a survey that garnered broad support.
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 humps) on Wellington Street West, between Strachan Avenue and Tecumseth Street. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install seven speed humps on Wellington Street West, between Strachan Avenue and Tecumseth Street, generally as shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to the letter (September 13, 2023) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.

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.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind the existing eastbound right-turn prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue West and Old Forest Hill Road. 2.
