The Toronto Parking Authority staff will monitor the operation of eight (8) Mobile Only Zones in the Toronto and East York area throughout the pilot duration to determine the success against key performance indicators. This report seeks amendments to Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 910, Parking Machines, Parking Meters and Mobile Only Zones to convert eight (8) on-street paid parking locations located in Wards 9, 10, 11 and 13 currently operated by P&D machines to be included in the MOZs pilot.

Re-allocating dormant Section 37 funds within Ward 11
Ward 11 has a pressing need for funds for affordable housing. For Ward developments approved under the Planning Act between 1988 and 2013, the City has, for many years, held s. 37 funds that were not used for the purposes identified in their respective zoning bylaws. In some cases, an intended purpose was achieved years ago without requiring the entire allocated sum. In other cases, the original purpose is no longer in Ward 11, did not proceed, or is impractical or inappropriate. No community benefit is provided by holding s. 37 funds from these old bylaws in the City's bank account year after year while they lose much of their purchasing power. In the last decade, s. 37 bylaws contained a provision authorizing reallocation of the funds if they are not used for the originally intended purpose within three years of the bylaw. This avoids waste by allowing precious public funds to be reallocated to current priorities. However, zoning bylaws from 2013 and earlier did not contain this provision. Amending them now will allow long-dormant funds to be put to use for climate smart affordable housing within Ward 11. This motion directs staff to bring forward a City-initiated Zoning By-law Amendment to the first possible Toronto and East York Community Council meeting for a statutory public meeting to amend the zoning by-laws identified in Attachment 1 to the motion to reallocate dormant funds to climate smart affordable housing and TTC Station improvements within Ward 11, and to update the terms of the bylaws.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to bring forward at the earliest opportunity, City-initiated amendments to the Zoning By-laws identified in Revised Attachment 1 to the letter (October 10, 2023) from Councillor Dianne Saxe that: a. reallocate the unspent Section 37 funds in numbers 2a, 6a and 7a in Revised Attachment 1 to the letter (October 10, 2023) from Councillor Dianne Saxe for Toronto Transit Commission Station Improvements within Ward 11, University-Rosedale; b. amends the related Section 37 schedules of the remaining Zoning By-laws identified in Revised Attachment 1 to the letter (October 10, 2023) from Councillor Dianne Saxe to include climate smart affordable housing within Ward 11, University Rosedale, as an eligible benefit; and c. include in the amended by-laws the same reallocation authority as in other by-laws, i.e. to authorize reallocation of unspent funds at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, provided that the purpose is identified in the Toronto Official Plan and will benefit the community in Ward 11, University-Rosedale.

All-Way Stop Control at Hallam Street and Concord Avenue
Residents in Dovercourt Village have contacted my office since early summer to advocate for safety improvements to the intersection of Hallam Street and Concord Avenue. Currently, all intersections along Hallam Street either have all-way stop control or a traffic signal - except for Hallam Street and Concord Avenue. Residents have noted this results in vehicles speeding through this intersection east until they reach the traffic lights at Ossington Avenue. This issue is especially problematic as residents walking south on Concord often cross with no stop control for vehicles on Hallam. Coupled with a planned speed limit reduction, the installation of all-way stop control at this intersection creates a more complete safety zone along Hallam for our residents. I respectfully request your support on the following recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized an all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Hallam Street and Concord Avenue.

Evening Rush Hour Through-Traffic Restriction on Wallace Avenue at Lansdowne Avenue
Since 2017, the Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee- a group of local area residents- has been working with the Councillor's office to introduce road safety improvements in the neighbourhood. One of the suggested improvements from this work is a 'through-traffic' restriction on Wallace Avenue at Lansdowne Avenue in the westbound direction during the evening rush hour. The creation of this restriction would prohibit vehicles travelling westbound on Wallace Avenue from going straight through the intersection at Lansdowne Avenue. Instead, vehicles would be redirected onto Lansdowne Avenue, reducing the utilization of Wallace Avenue as an east-west corridor for non-local traffic. Bicycles are excepted from the restriction. Prior to this term of City Council, there was a commitment to implement this change. This restriction was previously supported by the commnity at a public meeting in October 2019, and in response to a notice sent in February 2020. My office is committed to monitoring the results and community feedback from the implementation of the through restriction, and making any further adjustments or changes that may be necessary.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited westbound through movements in effect from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, at Wallace Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue, bicycles excepted.

Traffic Calming Measures on Brock Avenue, between College Street and Cobourg Avenue
Since the start of the year, residents have contacted my office to share concerns regarding dangerous speeding along Brock Avenue, between College Street and Cobourg Avenue. This stretch is home to two schools, Brock Public School and St. Helen Catholic School, and is currently the only part of Brock in my ward without traffic calming measures. In a resident poll, there was significant support for speed humps. My office also consulted with local school leadership, and they are supportive of these needed changes. I respectfully request your support on the following recommendations.
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 Brock Avenue, between College Street and Cobourg Avenue. 2.

Speed Humps on Richmond Street West
While known in the downtown core as a major travel route, Richmond Street West starts at Niagara Street as a residential road, primarily consisting of single family homes and row-houses. Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about road safety and speeding along the street, between Niagara Street and Tecumseth Street. My office polled local residents and the majority were in favour. In order to make the community safer for all, I recommend installing speed humps on this portion of the street.
