| 135474 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | N | Wilson Avenue - Road Alteration | 2024.NY15.21 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Wilson Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to alter Wilson Avenue (northerly westbound lane) from the Wilson Station Entrance / Exit on Wilson Avenue to the east side of Faywood Boulevard and in front of the development (480 Wilson Avenue). This is proposed in order to extend an additional 100 metres to the existing reserved bus lane west of Wilson Heights Boulevard and would create a continuous queue-jump lane of 420 metres. The addition of this queue-jump lane would tie into the modifications made to the roadway in front of the development at 480 Wilson Avenue. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This queue-jump lane would allow TTC buses to improve service reliability and travel time on Wilson Avenue by bypassing general traffic in the area. This would benefit approximately 370 daily bus trips and improve the journey times for approximately 62,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and TTC’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This queue-jump lane can be accommodated within the existing Wilson Avenue right-of-way by widening the roadway by up to 2.7 metres. All current lanes would remain including existing dedicated left-turn lanes. This queue-jump lane would also create a right-turn, buses-excepted lane westbound for right-turning vehicles at Wilson Heights Boulevard that did not exist previously. As per the City standard the queue-jump lane would be identified by a red paint application.</p> | 15 | 21 |

<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at Bathurst Street and a point approximately 100 metres south of Carpenter Road. The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken</p>

<p>Transportation Services is also requesting approval to remove the existing Pedestrian Refuge Island (PRI), located approximately 60 metres south of the subject location. The existing Pedestrian Refuge Island will be removed following the installation and activation of the traffic control signals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The City does not currently own the future public roads west of Bathurst Street and south of Fisherville Road. Installing traffic control signals based on the recommendations in this report does not imply that the City will accept responsibility for these roads in the future.</p> | 15 | 22 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 6 - York Centre | N | … | Report | ACTION |

| 135446 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | N | Steeles Avenue East - Road Alteration | 2024.NY15.28 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>As TTC operates bus service on Steeles Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to alter Steeles Avenue East (northerly westbound lane) from the Highway 404 southbound on-ramp to the east side of Don Mills Road. This is proposed in order to extend the existing reserved bus lane west of Townsend Road an additional 295 metres and would create a continuous queue jump lane of 500 metres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This queue-jump lane would allow TTC buses to improve service reliability and travel times on Steeles Avenue East by bypassing general traffic in the area. This will benefit approximately 240 daily bus-trips and improve the journey times for approximately 24,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and TTC’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This queue-jump lane can be accommodated within the existing Steeles Avenue East right-of-way by a minor widening of the roadway by up to 2.5 metres, adjusting the centre median width, and extending existing turn lanes. As per the City standard, the queue jump lane would be identified by a red paint application. Red paint would also be applied to the existing bus lane on Steeles Avenue East, west of Townsend Road to Don Mills Road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These modifications would not result in the loss of any travel lanes for general traffic. All current lanes would remain, including existing dedicated left-turn lanes. This queue-jump lane would also serve to extend the current westbound lane for right-turning vehicles at Townsend Road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Note that the designs for the queue jump lane are currently under review by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). The current designs reflect MTO's first set of comments and the final design of the queue jump lane are being coordinated with MTO. Subject to Council's approval of the recommendations of this report, the proposed changes would only be implemented upon approval from the MTO.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>Given the city's workplace modernization efforts with ModernTO, there is a great opportunity to reexamine how North York Civic Centre is used and to create a vision for an active community hub that meets the growing needs of our community. In particular, many not-for-profit organizations have struggled to find space for offices for the provision of services, in addition to programming space. As the city continues to target growth in Urban Growth Centres, these centres need to be better serviced with adequate community space.<br />This motion envisions a new vision for how North York Civic Centre can be used as an important hub to bring people together in our city.</p> | 15 | 30 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 6 - York Centre, 8 - Eglinton - Lawrence, 15 - Don Valley West, 16 - Don Valley East, 17 - Don Valley North, 18 - Willowdale | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted |
| 135738 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | N | Installing an All Way Stop Control on the New Public Road for the Bathurst / Fisherville Development | 2024.NY15.31 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The Bathurst-Fisherville development includes properties located at 6020, 6030 and 6040 Bathurst Street as well as 5 and 25 Fisherville Road which were collectively approved by a Final Order of the Ontario Land Tribunal. The development proposes to keep the existing buildings and intensify the area with an additional 6 towers of varying heights as well as 5 townhouse blocks. As part of an Ontario Land Tribunal settlement, there is a proposed new public road in a L configuration which connects to the west side of Bathurst Street and south side of Fisherville Road. The land for this new public road will be constructed and conveyed to the City by the property owners of the existing sites through a multi-party Section 37 agreement. Based on the configuration of the new road an all way stop control is proposed where the east / west portion of the road intersects with the north / south portion and a driveway south of the intersection. An all way stop control is required at this new intersection to ensure the safe and orderly movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. A bylaw for this all way stop control will need to be prepared and enacted once the new road has been constructed, named and dedicated prior to the City of Toronto’s formal assumption of the new road.</p> | 15 | 31 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 6 - York Centre | N |

Since NY 9.1 Wilson Heights Boulevard and Joel Swirsky Boulevard Traffic Control Signals was debated on November 14th, 2023, there have been significant changes in the Allen East District Plan and the adoption of the Downsview Secondary Plan. In addition, the General Manager of Transportation Services did not report to the February 22, 2024 NYCC meeting as directed during the November 14th meeting. Thus, in light of these changes and the lack of a report from Transportation Services, I would like to re-open the above item on both part 1 and 2 for further discussion and debate.</p> | 15 | 32 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 6 - York Centre | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New | Delegated | — |
