2010-2016 Bathurst Street - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment - Final Report
This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan, City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former City of York Zoning By-law 1-83 for 2010-2016 Bathurst Street, to permit an 8-storey, 29.65 metre (35.75 metres including mechanical penthouse), residential apartment building with 26 dwelling units and a total gross floor area of 4,632 square metres. The overall density is 5.0 times the area of the lot. A total of 40 vehicular parking spaces are proposed within 3 levels of underground parking. Entry to the underground garage is proposed at the southwest corner of the building from the adjacent substandard public laneway which is required to be widened by 1.06 metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) as it provides a density and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources. It is also transit-supportive being in close proximity to the future Eglinton LRT station at Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West. The proposal conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) as it provides for an appropriate type and scale of development that provides an acceptable transition of built form to adjacent areas. The proposed building is to be located and massed to provide a transition to neighbouring properties through appropriate setbacks and stepping down of height toward the Neighbourhoods and to adequately limit shadow impacts on those adjacent lower scale residential areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands at 2010 Bathurst Street substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (September 23, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

The Common Elements Condominium application proposes to establish the drive aisle, driveway, landscape area, parking area, and a shared mechanical and electrical room as a common element for nine townhouses and one commercial unit at 3258-3260 Dundas Street West. The Common Elements Condominium will ensure shared ownership and maintenance of the common elements by the condominium corporation. The requested exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act is to permit the creation of conveyable lots for the nine townhouses fronting Gilmour Avenue and the commercial unit fronting Dundas Street West, which will become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Elements Condominium. The exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions would also establish an easement for shared access and servicing between the building and the adjacent building at 3256 Dundas Street West. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption application. In addition, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to convey or mortgage any part of the lands without prior consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or his designate.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish and replace 131 rental dwelling units, and recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions. This report also recommends entering into Section 37 and Section 111 agreements. A Rental Housing Demolition application at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue seeks approval to demolish two existing residential rental apartment buildings containing a total of 131 rental dwelling units. All 131 units would be replaced within a new purpose-built rental building across the street at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue. The replacement rental units will have similar unit sizes and rents. The unit mix for the replacement rental units would be an improvement on the existing rental units at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue with some one-bedroom units replaced with two-bedroom units. A Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan will appropriately address the impacts on tenants. The rental building at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue will contain 413 rental units, which includes 131 replacement rental units from 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue, and 193 replacement rental units associated with four other nearby rental housing demolition applications at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-225 Redpath Avenue, 227-233 Redpath Avenue, 110-120 Broadway Avenue, and 174-180 Broadway Avenue for a total of 324 replacement rental units. The remaining 89 rental units comprise of 50 new affordable rental units secured in a Section 37 Agreement from the 110-120 Broadway Avenue development application and 39 market-rate rental units with unrestricted rents. The land at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue is also subject to an application under the Planning Act for an amendment to the Zoning By-law (Application No. 15 228738 STE 22 OZ), which was the subject of a settlement hearing at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) (Case No. PL160941) on November 20, 2017. City Council endorsed the settlement for the Zoning By-law Amendment application subject to conditions, including a rental replacement requirement.

This application proposes to remove the holding symbol ("(h)") from site-specific Zoning By-law 817-2013 for the lands at 2-8 Gloucester Street and 601-613 Yonge Street. The lifting of the "(h)" on the subject site will permit the development of a 34-storey mixed use building containing 232 residential units and up to 900 square metres of non-residential space.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street, in connection with the redevelopment of the site and in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal and subsequent mediation of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property. The conservation strategy is for the heritage properties at 139-143 Portland Street to be retained in situ with their street facing facades integrated into the new construction. The tower component of the project will be stepped back 3 metres from the roof ridge of the property, constituting an overall step back of approximately 9 metres from the front street facing facades of the properties. The existing form of the buildings behind the retained street facing façade would be rebuilt in-kind and the uses within each of the houses would continue to be residential. Further, the conservation strategy proposes rehabilitation and restoration of these heritage properties to their period of significance (time of construction) based on archival information.
The item was withdrawn due to the adoption of MM10.32 at the October 2 and 3, 2019 meeting of City Council.

Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 145 Portland Street
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the heritage property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property is listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The surviving 19th-century residential buildings on the east side of Portland Street between Richmond and Adelaide Streets are adjoining buildings with the following street numbers: 135, 137, 139, 141, 143 and 145. All of these properties apart from 137 are listed on the City's Heritage Register and have been identified as contributing to the King-Spadina HCD. The properties at 135, 139, 141 and 143 are subject to a development application and 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street are being concurrently recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act in a separate report before the September 23, 2019 Toronto Preservation Board titled Alterations to Designated Heritage Properties, Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement -139, 141 and 143 Portland Street. The property at 145 Portland Street, although not subject to a planning application at the time of report writing, is being evaluated for designation in this report since it forms one half of a mirrored pair with 143 Portland Street and follows Heritage Planning best practice. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 145 Portland Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The designation of the property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act would identify all of the property's cultural heritage value and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 145 Portland Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (September 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 3. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board. 4. If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision on the designation of the property.

Cultural Heritage Evaluation - 79 and 81 Granby Street
This report recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council receive this report for information. The report responds to City Council's request on December 4, 2018 (Motion MM1.7) that directed the Senior Manager of Heritage Preservation Services to "initiate a study of the formally nominated properties, at 79 and 81 Granby Street and to report back regarding designation within the first quarter of 2019." The properties at 79 and 81 Granby Street contain a pair of semi-detached house form buildings dating to 1891. As outlined in Attachment 3 to this report, staff have undertaken an evaluation according to Ontario Regulation 9/06 (the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation that the City also applies to properties being assessed for its Heritage Register). Although the properties demonstrate contextual value, specifically their historical and physical setting between the listed heritage properties at 77 Granby Street and 414-418 Church Street (at the southwest corner of Granby), the significant alterations to the exterior of subject buildings, including the removal of the original shared entrance arch (documented in archival photographs) and the recladding and changes to the window openings and roofline of 79 Granby, have impacted their integrity and ability to communicate their cultural heritage value. As such, staff have determined that the individual properties do not merit inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The provision of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, requires that Motion MM1.7 be referred to the Toronto and East York Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Referred the item to the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, for review of the McGill-Granby Village Resident Association's independent consultant report; and 2. Directed the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, to report back to the November 12, 2019 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board, and to the December 3, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, with their findings.

King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review - Proposed Secondary Plan
This report brings forward a proposed King-Parliament Secondary Plan (proposed Plan), which is the outcome of Phases 1 and 2 of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review and concurrent study of the North Side of Queen Street East between Jarvis Street and River Street. The proposed Plan builds on the success of the in-force King-Parliament Secondary Plan (1996) in addition to updated direction provided in the recently-approved Downtown Plan. The proposed Plan addresses heritage conservation, the improvement and expansion of parks and the public realm, and built form direction. The proposed Plan also includes specific objectives to support and enhance the employment cluster in the King-Parliament area and simplify the interpretation of overlapping policy frameworks that exist in the area. The Secondary Plan area comprises five Policy Areas, each reflecting a unique built form character. As an area targeted for growth and new investment, the proposed Plan recommends that development provide a full mix of uses that are designed to be compatible with their existing and planned context, conserve cultural heritage resources and improve and expand the public realm. The proposed Plan is consistent with the Toronto Official Plan (2006), Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report recommends that the proposed Plan be used as the basis for further stakeholder and public consultation to support the development of a recommended Secondary Plan, to be brought forward to City Council by Q3 2020. In addition to Secondary Plan policy development, the report recommends preparation of an update of Zoning By-law 438-86 and Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the King-Parliament Secondary Plan area. Consultation for the Zoning By-law amendments will be held concurrently with further Secondary Plan consultation activities.

Construction Staging - Port Land Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure Project
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Commissioners Street, which is being rerouted along Villiers Street and Saulter Street South, City Council approval is required. Waterfront Toronto, City of Toronto, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC) have developed the Port Lands Flood Protection Project (PLFPP) to protect the Lower Don Lands and adjacent areas from potential loss of life and costly flood damage associated with a flood event, while triggering economic development. The solution involves creating two additional outlets for the Don River, which ultimately will be surrounded by new parks, green space and public realm enhancements. Several roads within the Port Lands area will be impacted. Ellis Don, a contractor hired by Waterfront Toronto, has submitted a proposal to implement PLFPP for the Lower Don Lands. An increase in the elevation of Commissioners Street by two metres is part of the proposal. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close Commissioners Street from Cherry Street to 120 metres east of Don Roadway from October 30, 2019 to May 16, 2022. The exceptions are sections of roadway providing access to properties at 39 Commissioners Street and 275 Cherry Street.

Traffic Calming -Speed Humps - Sibley Avenue
This staff report is about a matter that 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.

Installing Speed Humps on Gilead Place, between King Street East and Eastern Avenue
Early this Summer, residents of Gilead Place were shaken when a large delivery truck hit a hydro pole along their street and steps from their door. Residents have noticed the increased traffic along their streets as vehicles speed through this narrow street. In 2017, residents brought forth a petition asking that speed mitigation measures be assessed to enhance safety in their community. Through Vision Zero, Toronto is committed to achieving pedestrian and road safety. In order to achieve a safe, walkable city, and protect vulnerable road users, Gilead Place and other local roads flagged by residents need to be reviewed and improved.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to investigate the feasibility of installing traffic calming measures on Gilead Place, between King Street East and Eastern Avenue, in the form of speed humps and to report back to the February 5, 2020 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

Approval of Decorative Fence at Church Street Public School
An illuminated, decorative fence is being installed at 83 Alexander Street, the Church Street Junior Public School, funded through the investment of Section 45(9) community benefit funds. These funds have been allocated to improve and restore the fencing around the school grounds for many years to come. A community access agreement has been finalized as part of this work, which will provide the neighbourhood with improved access to this significant green space. As the illuminated, artistic portion of this fence will exceed the height criteria of Chapter 743 of the Streets & Sidewalks Bylaw, an exemption is required.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Exempted the proposed fence to be located on Church St, flanking 83 Alexander St., from Chapter 743 of the Streets & Sidewalks Bylaw to facilitate a height of 2.485m at its tallest point.

Speed Limit Reduction - Niagara Street
There is no number of deaths or serious injuries on our streets that is acceptable. Each one is preventable. As a City, we must prioritize and accelerate measures to make our streets safe and accessible for all road users, especially vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists. In 2015, Toronto and East York Community Council directed that all roads within the district classified as local streets be reduced to a 30 km/h speed limit. Despite its local residential character, Niagara Street is technically classified as a collector roadway, and as a result the speed limit remained at 40 km/h. I am writing to recommend that the speed limit on Niagara Street be reduced to 30 km/h. In addition, my office has received a petition requesting additional traffic calming measures be implemented on Niagara Street. Following analysis of updated traffic counts and a speed study, I anticipate that Community Council will be requested to approve speed humps and/or other traffic calming measures at an upcoming meeting.

Re-opening of Item TE2.59 - Speed Hump Poll Results - Pendrith Street
On January 15, 2019, Toronto and East York Community Council approved the installation of speed humps on Pendrith Street, as per Item TE2.59. The original Recommendation for Item TE2.59 incorrectly indicated "four speed humps". However, the accompanying drawing 421G-2789 correctly showed "five speed humps" to be installed. This error must be corrected in order for the installation of traffic calming/speed humps to proceed and a highway alteration bylaw enacted. The cost to install five speed humps will be $20,000, rather than the $16,000 as previously indicated.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened Item TE2.59 with respect to Recommendation 1 only. 2. Amended recommendation 1 of Item TE2.59 by changing the reference to "four speed humps" to read as "five speed humps".

Parking Amendments - Humewood Drive
I am submitting this parking amendment change to Community Council via a letter, rather than by staff recommendation, as this is a time sensitive situation that has been brought to my attention late last week. A large number of residents, permit parking holders, have received parking tickets overnight for parking in a previously "permit parking only" area on their street. Unbeknownst to them, after years of parking there, the signage got changed to "No stopping," as per an old City of York by-law that was actually never appropriately signed on the street. Traffic Operations and Signs & Markings staff have provided me with background information and a recommendation to adjust the by-law to permit parking only on the entire east side of the block. The west side of the street will be getting a "No stopping" prohibition, due to the presence of the Humewood Community School. This will ensure proper sightlines for students and staff crossing the street there, while providing the same sort of parking on the east side that the local residents have been accustomed to for decades.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing stopping prohibition in effect at all times, on the east side of Humewood Drive, from Valewood Avenue to a point 60 metres north. 2. Prohibited stopping at all times, on the west side of Humewood Drive, from Maplewood Avenue to a point 68.9 metres north of Valewood Avenue.

The area of the St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street Planning Framework has seen an increase in development applications in past years. We are anticipating further intensification in this area, which has spurred concern from local residents about the cumulative impact this will have on the community. Residents have raised concerns over traffic management, noise controls, air quality, truck traffic and overall road safety, which is why I am requesting the development of a comprehensive Traffic Management and Mitigation Plan for the area. I believe it is imperative to take a proactive approach in minimizing disruption and promoting safety in the community. This necessitates a coordinated effort by several City divisions to assess current conditions and make informed recommendations as to a focused and productive approach to these concerns.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council request the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, in co-operation with other relevant City divisions, to develop a Traffic Management and Mitigation Plan for the area of the St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street's Planning Framework, including but not limited to: a. Traffic management in light of increasing density in the area; b. Construction staging coordination and management that would not impact the public right-of-way for development construction purposes; c. Construction and related noise monitoring and enforcement to be coordinated by Transportation Services and Municipal Licensing and Standards; d. Ensure coordination between development construction sites to minimize impacts of truck traffic in the area and ensure compliance with the truck prohibitions on local streets in the area; e. Coordinate with relevant stakeholders, divisions and agencies, to do air quality studies and ensure mitigation of any additional construction-related pollution to the area.

Installation of Speed Humps on Harvie Avenue - Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue
Harvie Avenue residents have contacted my office over the last few months with concerns about high traffic volumes and speeding vehicles on their street, specifically, between Redhill Avenue and Hatherley road. At my request, Traffic Operations staff undertook a speed hump feasibility study on Harvie Avenue, between Redhill Avenue and Hatherley Road. The study showed that speed humps were warranted between Chudliegh Avenue and Rochdale Avenue, but not between Kitchener Avenue and Rochdale Avenue. The remaining sections, between Redhill Avenue and Kitchener Avenue, and Rochdale Avenue and Hatherley Road were also not warranted due to the high road grade above 5%. The purpose of this motion is to address resident safety concerns by having speed humps installed on Harvie Avenue, between Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue. Residents have been informed of this action by way of a letter from my office in early October 2019.
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 on Harvie Avenue, between Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway on Harvie Avenue, between Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-3545, dated September 2019 to the Letter (October 10, 2019) from Councillor Bailão. 3.

Parking Amendments - Edwin Avenue, Ruskin Avenue to Dupont Street
Last year, I received a petition from residents requesting the introduction of a 1 hour parking limit on Edwin Avenue, between Ruskin Avenue and Dupont Street, Monday to Friday, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., and the extension of overnight permit parking hours, which currently end at 7:00 a.m., to end at 10 a.m. (Monday to Friday) instead. Residents submitted this petition because they were finding it difficult to secure on-street parking. I reviewed the petition in detail and asked Traffic Operations staff to comment on the feasibility of introducing the requested parking regulation changes. City staff did not object to the parking change, but the petition did not demonstrate sufficient support - minimum 60 percent of houses on the street - to introduce the change. Residents have continued to contact my office regarding parking difficulties. In response, my office polled Edwin Avenue, between Ruskin Avenue and Dupont Street, in July and August 2019 on the aforementioned changes, and the majority of respondents were supportive. The purpose of this motion is to have these regulations put in place.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized parking for a maximum period of 1 hour from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Edwin Avenue, between Ruskin Avenue and Dupont Street. 2.

Parking Amendment - Pelham Avenue
In June 2019, I received a petition from residents and business owners on Pelham Avenue requesting parking changes on that street. According to business owners and residents, the demographics have changed and the lack of parking has been impacting clients and visitors that are trying to access the area. The requested changes are: the removal of the existing 'no parking' regulation, which is in effect between, 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Pelham Avenue, and the introduction of a one hour parking limit between, 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Pelham Avenue. This change requires that permit parking operating hours end at 8 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. In the event that permit parking operating hours are reduced, Public Notice is required, hence the purpose of this motion.

After a speed bump installation in this laneway last year, residents have been complaining about the related noise from the bump directly adjacent to their homes. The vibrations and related noise are disrupting these neighbours. Based on feedback from Transportation Services staff and considering the presence of speed bumps in the perpendicular portion of the laneway, I would like to request that staff remove the speed bumps directly adjacent to 127 and 131 Boardwalk Drive, as shown in Drawing No. 421G-3122 dated June 2018.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the removal of a speed bump in the laneway as shown in Drawing No. 421G-3122 dated June 2018, attached to the Letter (October 9, 2019) from Councillor Bradford.

Creating New Affordable Housing on Danforth
I am deeply concerned that many of my residents are being displaced or priced out of the rental market because of development pressures and renovictions. Too often, they are being forced to move further away from the services that we have all worked so hard to provide. And worse, the inclusive community they have created with bonds of friendship and mutual support is fracturing. There are many co-ops and other great non-profit housing developers, like WoodGreen, who have led on the building of affordable housing in Toronto's east end. However, with land prices and development pressures, the lots which have been available in the past have almost dried up. Working with City Planning my residents have put in place urban design guidelines and official plan policies for Leslieville, Ashbridges Bay, and Broadview. However, only the Leslieville Urban Design Guidelines which references the common theme of community and diversity, starts to address the issue. The new Danforth Planning Study soon to be underway from Coxwell to Broadview can and should address this head on. Establishing proactive planning policies to support the development of affordable housing would make the City's Open Door program far more effective. And, my resident's strong desire to protect the diverse and inclusive communities they have built in the face of relentless development pressures would be respected.
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that: 1. The Terms of Reference for the upcoming Danforth Planning and Complete Streets Study include options to secure new affordable rental along Danforth Avenue.

Parking Regulations: Commissioners Street
Dear Chair and Members of the Toronto and East York Community Council, Toronto Hydro has requested that an area on Commissioners Street, currently an unsigned 3-hour spot be converted to a no standing area. The unsigned spot sits between a no-parking area and the driveway entrance to the Toronto Hydro facility, creating a hazard for drivers by decreasing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the existing standing prohibition in effect on the north side of Commissioners Street, between a point 186 metres east of Carlaw Avenue and a point 15 metres further east, to be in effect between a point 179 metres east of Carlaw Avenue and a point 22 metres further east.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councilllor Fletcher recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct Transportation Services report to the November Community Council meeting with a by-law to amend the existing standing prohibition in effect on the north side of Commissioners Street between a point 186 metres east of Carlaw Avenue and a point 15 metres further east, to be in effect between a point 179 metres east of Carlaw Avenue and a point 22 metres further east.

Improving Pedestrian Safety - Pedestrian Pathway between Strathcona Avenue and Bain Avenue
At a recent safety walk with residents there were questions about the status of a well-used pedestrian path that runs along the eastern ends of four dead end streets Wroxeter, Frizzell, Dingwall, and Bain. Establishing the ownership of this path will allow for improvements to be considered. This pathway was once part of a now closed portion of Kiswick Avenue, but there are other sections where ownership is less clear.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services and Engineering and Construction to report to the December 3, 2019 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on the ownership, management, and status of the pedestrian path, made up of the closed Kiswick Street that runs along the Eastern Terminus' of Wroxeter, Frizzell, Dingwall, and Bain, including Plan R3816 Part 3 & Plan R 3816 Part 2.

The massive five-arm intersection of Bathurst, Lake Shore, and Fleet doesn't work well for anyone. It is a danger and a barrier for pedestrians, it is confusing for drivers and has a high rate of vehicle collisions, and it delays two streetcar lines. This intersection should tie together the three adjacent neighbourhoods - Bathurst Quay, Fort York, and CityPlace - but instead it separates them from one another. Going back to at least as far as 2004, before the Fort York and CityPlace neighbourhoods were constructed, the City of Toronto has made plans for reconfiguring this intersection. Concern about this intersection was one of the most common themes I heard from community members throughout the consultations for the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan in 2014 and 2015. On several occasions in recent years, staff reports and City Council directions have re-affirmed the intention and necessity of fixing this intersection. I brought a motion to Community Council in May 2019 requesting that City staff report back on what it would finally take to see meaningful action on safety improvements here. Transportation Services reported to City Council in July with a recommendation to authorize the permanent closure of westbound Fleet Street, between Bathurst Street and Iannuzzi Street, as the first and most expeditious way to start implementing improvements. City Council approved this work and the City staff report anticipated implementation before the end of summer. It is now October and progress is long overdue. I recognize that any change to a busy and complex intersection requires a great deal of advance planning, design work, and coordination. And I appreciate the sincere dedication and effort that many City staff have already brought to bear on this specific location. But if we as a City and Council are truly serious about actually achieving the Vision Zero goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our street, we must prioritize this kind of hard work and allocate adequate staff time and funding to overcome these challenges quickly. In response to the delayed action, I have had a number of urgent meetings and discussions with senior Transportation Services staff to find ways to accelerate implementation. One outcome of this work is that I am recommending that City Council authorize prohibiting right turns from southbound Bathurst Street to westbound Lake Shore Boulevard. This simplifies a number of technical matters associated with implementing the closure of Fleet Street as approved in July, and should also eliminate the problem of vehicles taking the turn too sharply and knocking down the handrails of the pedestrian crossing island. Traffic counts demonstrate that a relatively small number of vehicles presently make this turning movement, so alternative routes will easily accommodate the displaced traffic. In the future, once physical safety improvements to the pedestrian crossing island are implemented, City staff may recommend reinstating turns from Bathurst to Lake Shore. We also need to ramp up our planning for the longer-term vision make further safety and operational improvements to the intersection, leveraging nearby infrastructure work and private development to accelerate implementation. I am recommending that City Council request City staff to formally advance work on these future phases of improvements, even before the initial closure of Fleet Street is in place.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommended that: 1. City Council prohibit the southbound right-turn movement for vehicles from Bathurst Street to Lake Shore Boulevard West, with TTC Vehicles Excepted, as part of the implementation of safety improvements to the Bathurst Street / Fleet Street / Lake Shore Boulevard West intersection previously authorized by City Council on July 16, 17 and 18, 2019 (Item TE7.123). 2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to prioritize and expedite the implementation of these safety improvements, given the documented safety concern and collision history at this location. 3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, with support from other divisions as needed, to plan for future phases of safety improvements to the Bathurst Street / Fleet Street / Lake Shore Boulevard West intersection, which may include relocation of the eastbound left turn lane from Fleet Street to Lake Shore Boulevard West, wider and safer pedestrian infrastructure, facilities to allow TTC service to be faster and more reliable, and ultimately the implementation of the full reconfiguration of the intersection included in the approved Waterfront Transit Network Plan previously adopted by City Council on January 31 and February 1, 2018 (Item EX30.1).

Accelerating CityPlace Vision Zero Street Safety Improvements
There is no number of deaths or serious injuries on our streets that is acceptable. Each one is preventable. As a City, we must prioritize and accelerate measures to make our streets safe and accessible for all road users, especially vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists. Over the last number of years, I have been working closely with the CityPlace community to identify street safety concerns and implement improvements. These changes have included the installation of traffic signals at Dan Leckie Way and Fort York Boulevard, and on the west side of Spadina Avenue at Lake Shore Boulevard West. We have also been collaboratively managing and mitigating construction-related safety issues. Implementing these improvements without delay has been my critical priority for years, as additional residents move into the neighbourhood and in anticipation of the opening of two new local elementary schools with 1,100 students in the coming months. I have also secured Committee and Council approval for several more necessary traffic signals, stop signs, pedestrian crossings and crosswalks, and enhanced pavement markings that have not yet been installed. Achieving approval far in advance of the opening of our new community amenities was intentional, to ensure there was adequate time to install the much-needed improvements. However, many of them have yet to be implemented. We must prioritize and accelerate the installation of these street safety improvements in CityPlace, including: - New pedestrian crossing of Spadina Avenue on the south side of the existing signalized intersection with Bremner Boulevard and Fort York Boulevard (first requested in 2015, City Council approval July 2018). - New pedestrian crossing of Spadina Avenue on the south side of the existing signalized intersection with Front Street West (City Council approval July 2018). - New pedestrian crossing of Fort York Boulevard on the east side of the existing stop-controlled intersection with Brunel Court and Telegram Mews (Community Council approval July 2018). - New all-way stop, new gap in the concrete median, and new pedestrian crossing of Fort York Boulevard at the intersection with Queens Wharf Road (Community Council approval April 2018). - Finish installation of enhanced pavement markings indicating the pedestrian crossing at the new all-way stop that was installed at the intersection of Dan Leckie Way and Housey Street (Community Council approval June 2018). - Design and build sidewalk and streetscape improvements to Bathurst Street between Fort York Boulevard and Housey Street (City Council approval July 2018). - Implement comprehensive, multiple-phase safety improvements at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West, Bathurst Street, and Fleet Street (City Council approval July 2019).
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommended that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to prioritize and expedite the implementation of Vision Zero street safety improvements in the CityPlace neighbourhood that have already been approved by City Council or Toronto and East York Community Council, given the impending opening of two new local elementary schools with 1,100 students.
