<p> </p>
<p>Located on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street, the property at 15 Elm Street contains a 2-storey house-form building completed prior to 1868. The Georgian Revival style property represents a rare surviving example of a</p>
<p>Confederation-era house-form building and is part of a broader collection of 19th century dwellings adapted at street level in the early-20th century to accommodate commercial storefronts. This residential/commercial mixed-use typology continues to define the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets within the City's historic St. John's Ward ("The Ward") neighbourhood and represents the uniqueness of Elm Street as a destination for locals and visitors alike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A heritage permit application under Section 34(1)2 of the Act has been submitted to demolish this building to allow for the construction of a new 30 storey mixed-use building at 15-17 Elm Street. This application is associated with Zoning By-law Amendment application 22 202864 STE 11 OZ and Site Plan application 22 202863 STE11 SA for the properties at 15-17 Elm Street.

The Designation By-law is currently under appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Located on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street, the property at 15 Elm Street contains a 2-storey house-form building completed prior to 1868. The Georgian Revival style property represents a rare surviving example of a</p>
<p>Confederation-era house-form building and is part of a broader collection of 19th century dwellings adapted at street level in the early-20th century to accommodate commercial storefronts. This residential/commercial mixed-use typology continues to define the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets within the City's historic St. John's Ward ("The Ward") neighbourhood and represents the uniqueness of Elm Street as a destination for locals and visitors alike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A heritage permit application under Section 34(1)2 of the Act has been submitted to demolish this building to allow for the construction of a new 30 storey mixed-use building at 15-17 Elm Street. This application is associated with Zoning By-law Amendment application 22 202864 STE 11 OZ and Site Plan application 22 202863 STE11 SA for the properties at 15-17 Elm Street. The Zoning By-law Amendment application is also currently under appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Under the Act, if City Council fails to make a decision on the heritage permit application within 90 days of issuing a notice of a complete application, the application is deemed to be permitted under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In this case the applicant must be notified of Council's decision by September 15, 2024.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new pay-and-display parking spaces in Wards 9 and 11 that will support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking at various locations in the two noted Wards. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing parking restrictions currently in effect, including no parking and one-hour or two-hour time limit parking. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking in various locations in Wards 9 and 11, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and TPA will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.</p> | 15 | 35 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 9 - Davenport, 11 - University - Rosedale | N | … |

<p>As part of the site plan application of this development, a lay-by is scheduled to be constructed in front of the property on Harbour Street to meet the market needs of Harbour Sixty, which allows for valet service. The lay-by will help facilitate pick-up/ drop-off demands, without impacting traffic flow on Harbour Street. The on-street parking regulation within the lay-by will need to be amended to a “No Standing Anytime” regulation.

For example, building residents with mobility disabilities report that their Wheel-Trans service often cannot stop at 350 Bloor Street East to pick them up or let them off, and must instead stop at nearby properties. They report that this severely compromises their ability to use the service.</p>

Travel times for the Spadina route have tripled since the initiation of the replacement bus service on June 23, 2024. Measures such as the deployment of traffic agents at key intersections and the turning around of buses at Front Street have already been implemented. To support bus operations further, Transportation Services and TTC are proposing the temporary removal of on-street parking and a taxi stand on the west side of Spadina Avenue between Richmond Street West and Front Street West to enable the installation of a temporary priority bus lane within the southbound curb lane between Richmond Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West. Two southbound traffic lanes for general traffic will be maintained on Spadina Avenue between Richmond Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West. These proposed temporary parking and traffic amendments are intended to remain in place until the 510 Spadina streetcar right-of-way is projected to reopen in January 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services has consulted with Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), who assessed that the financial impact of lost revenue and operating expenses will be approximately $162,300.88 (pre-HST) for the period of July to December 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The estimated cost to implement/remove the parking amendments and temporary priority bus lane is $78,586 (pre-HST), which will be funded from the TTC’s 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan.</p>

<p>There is currently no staff on site managing the traffic as there was during the previous phase of construction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am requesting the speed limit to be lowered to 20 km/h from Logan to Wardell. As well as a report to City Council to recommend implementation of flag persons indicating the mixed use of this street, Automated Speed Enforcement, and any other safety measures we can provide during this construction period.</p> | 15 | 64 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 14 - Toronto - Danforth | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Amended | New | — | — |
| 135780 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Street Cleaning: Cyclist Safety in Toronto and East York | 2024.TE15.65 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The winter maintenance of bike lanes has been a long discussion and now there is an organized cleaning procedure in place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s now time to take the same, if not a better, approach to summer cleaning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many more Torontonians utilize bikes in the summer months, especially as the Bike Share program continues to grow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The city has many kilometres of cycle routes to maintain safety for cyclists, separating them from cars.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, one aspect needs to be improved for cyclist safety is maintenance of these bike lanes. Keeping these critical corridors clean and swept regularly is key to maintaining safety within our city.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Patches of mud, sand, gravel, and glass may not be dangerous for cars (cars typically weigh upwards of 1170 kg) but are very dangerous for cyclists (bikes weigh typically 8kg to 25kg). Dust and debris blowing into cyclists’ eyes from construction sand and dust is a constant problem.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sweeping of lanes after water main breaks and construction work has not been consistent. This should be a regular part of the city’s cleaning procedure, especially after completion of projects on city property.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the recent watermain break at Broadview and Danforth, there were patches of mud left in the bike lane.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ontario Line construction at Dundas has create a block of unsafe sand and gravel conditions east of Logan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This doesn’t even begin to address the issues of uneven pavement and raised or depressed water main holes. These patches remain from frequent underground repairs are a nuisance for cars and larger vehicles, but for cyclists can result in serious injury.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lastly, I want to shed light on the conditions at Greenwood & Danforth and Carlaw & Dundas, which are especially treacherous. How have these conditions been allowed to linger and create unsafe conditions in the very spaces that are meant to be safe for cyclists. I have heard from and witnessed cyclists sliding on this debris resulting in punctured tires and injuries in designated lanes, designed to protect them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These issues need to be addressed accordingly. Residents should not have to be hindered by these dangerous conditions during their commutes. Cleaner streets are the first step in addressing safer streets, especially for cyclists.</p> |
