<p> </p>
<p>The property at 46 Spadina Avenue (including 40, 42, 44 and 50 Spadina Avenue) includes a 4-storey building that was constructed in 1907 with later additions in the 1940s. It is known as the "Systems Building" and is identified as a contributing Industrial/Commercial building within the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (KSHCD) Plan. The properties at 58 Spadina Avenue (including 60 Spadina Avenue) and 378 Wellington Street West are non-contributing properties in the KSHCD Plan.</p>

<p>An Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for the subject properties was received in August 2022 for the construction of a 28-storey mixed-use building with a 4-storey podium featuring commercial retail at-grade and 521 dwelling units in a new residential tower. The applicant subsequently appealed this application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the time frame prescribed in the Planning Act. Revised plans have been submitted by the applicant with prejudice, as reflected in this report.</p>

On February 26, 2020, City Council enacted By-law 235-2020 exempting part of the lands at 1245 Dupont Street from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for 5 years to facilitate development and to implement the necessary land transactions. By-law 235-2020 will expire on February 26, 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends that a new Part Lot Control Exemption By-Law be enacted, to extend the period of exemption from Part Lot Control for part of the lands at 1245 Dupont Street for a further three years. This will allow for the severance of lots, completion of the construction of the community centre, and associated transactions including conveying a City park. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a further period of three years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of lands.</p> | 20 | 14 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 9 - Davenport | N | … | Report | ACTION | Adopted |

<p> </p>
<p>The subject properties at 481 and 483 Church Street are located on the east side of Church Street between Maitland Street and Wellesley Street East in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood. The property at 481 Church Street contains a 3-storey house-form building and the property at 483 Church Street contains a two-and-a-half storey house-form building, both constructed circa 1870. A 2-storey storefront addition was added across the front façades of both properties in the early 20th century. A location map and current photograph of the property are found in Attachment 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The properties recommended for inclusion on the City’s Heritage Register 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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, 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 Act now also limits listing to a period of two years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As of January 1, 2023, 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. 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 that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act 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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>Engineering and Construction Services (ECS) and Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) are planning to replace the watermain and streetcar tacks at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lake Shore Blvd West/Fleet Street, from February 17, 2025 to August 1, 2025. The project involves multiple construction phases where traffic lanes will be reduced to one lane in each direction. In order to improve traffic operations at the subject intersection, all turns will be prohibited during construction. These turn restrictions will impact access/egress for area residents and Billy Bishop Airport. Therefore, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to temporarily rescind the turn restrictions at nearby intersections to accommodate the detour traffic in the neighbourhood. In addition, the detour traffic on Stadium Road may present traffic flow issues due to the curbside parking lane on the west side of the street. To address any potential issues with two-way traffic flow, Transportation Services recommends a standing prohibition to be in effect at all times on the west side Stadium Road, from Queens Quay West to Bishop Tutu Boulevard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The above traffic and parking amendments will be in effect for approximately six months from February 17 to August 1, 2025 while the project is ongoing.</p> | 20 | 37 | CCOUNCIL |

<p> </p>
<p>By way of background, at its meeting on November 8 and 9, 2023, City Council adopted Item 2023.TE8.24 entitled “Construction Staging Area – 8 Elm Street” and in so doing, authorized a closure of the west sidewalk and southbound curb lane, between Elm Street and a point 40 metres north, with a 2.1 metre covered and protected walkway in the closed curb lane, from November 30, 2023, to November 30, 2027.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services has received sightline obstruction concerns from area residents due to the above mentioned covered and protected walkway on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Elm Street. Based on a site investigation, staff has determined that the covered walkway creates a sightline obstruction for eastbound motorists on Elm Street, turning left at Yonge Street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The developer advised that the covered walkway cannot be modified to address the sightline concerns, nor can it be removed, as it provides pedestrians a safe pathway around the construction staging area.</p> | 20 | 38 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 11 - University - Rosedale | N | … |

<p> </p>
<p>As per conditions of approval for the development at 1-15 Delisle Avenue and 1496-1510 Yonge Street, the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue is required. This installation will include the existing private driveway on the east side of Yonge Street. The technical justification for the installation of traffic control signals is satisfied, therefore, the installation of traffic control signals on Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue/private driveway is recommended.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services supports the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue/private driveway. This installation will require amendments to the existing traffic and parking regulations at this intersection.</p> | 20 | 39 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | … | Report | ACTION | Amended |
| 138980 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | WO_RECS | — | N | Transit Priority Measures to Support Streetcar Service Diversions during King Street East and Church Street Intersection Closures | 2025.TE20.40 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support the diversion routes associated with the closure of King Street East and Church Street intersection for watermain and streetcar track maintenance from May 2025 to August 2025. The 503 Kingston Road, 504 King, and 508 Lakeshore will be diverted due to the closure. The diversion will result in 25 streetcars in the peak hour, up from seven streetcars in existing conditions, using Queen Street east of Spadina Avenue to Broadview Avenue and the existing diversion associated with the Ontario Line construction. The Queen Street diversion uses tracks on Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, between York Street and Church Street to by-pass the closure of Queen Street from Bay Street to Victoria Street. Therefore, the existing 501 Queen service will also be impacted by the diversion due to the increased number of streetcars using this route. The proposed temporary transit priority measures aim to mitigate the impact on the 102,900 daily customers primarily on streetcars that travel along the diversion route. The measures in this report are being approved as temporary, and a long-term plan for parking and traffic regulation changes on Queen Street West and Queen Street East between Spadina Avenue and Broadview Avenue will be brought forward to Toronto and East York Community Council in the near future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report proposes a suite of transit priority measures to support the diversion including new parking restrictions on Queen Street, additional no stopping zones, increased duration of turning restrictions, restrictions on CaféTO curb lane installations and, implementing a short eastbound transit-only lane at the intersection of Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue to support streetcar and general traffic operations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In addition to the proposed TPMs, the TTC will work with City staff to support the diversion using the Traffic Agent program and signal timing optimizations where possible</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As TTC operates transit service on Broadview Avenue, Queen Street, Richmond Street, Adelaide Street, Church Street and York Street, City Council approval of this report is required.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>The settlement was amended by 2023 MM 11.26, to provide for, among other things, $1 million in s. 37 funds for improvements to Collier Street plus, if possible, public art. At the request of the community, the primary purpose of the Collier Street improvements is to improve safety and access to public space by creating a pedestrian plaza at the west end of the site. Since that time, the applicant has worked closely with the neighbouring community and city staff to develop a plan for the pedestrian plaza. However, Transportation Services has not yet developed a procedure to implement this initiative, and has no unit responsible for it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In May 2024, TEYCC authorized a construction management plan for TE13.23 - 717 Church Street, 85, 89, 93 and 97 Collier Street - Construction Staging Area. This plan has already closed the eastbound lane of Collier Street until February 2027. The construction project has accelerated the urgency of pedestrianization of Collier Street, due to reckless vehicles speeding through the area despite the large number of construction vehicles and reduced visibility.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This letter is to begin the process of pedestrianization with a temporary closure while the applicant and community work with Transportation Services to finalize the permanent pedestrian plaza.</p> |

My office has heard that, while public notice was given of the installation to nearby residents, the expected results of the installation, such as loss of on-street parking, was not adequately shared. The sidewalk’s configuration has resulted in a loss of neighbourhood parking and has severely impacted local residents. Cars continue to park outside of 7A, 7B, and 7C Austin Terrace, which has led to bottlenecks in traffic and nearby residents being unable to exit their driveways.</p> | 20 | 46 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New |

They have proposed the lane be named “Luella Price Lane”. By 2020 there were sufficient signatures from property owners to initiate the new name but the Covid epidemic ground these efforts to a halt.</p>
<p>The initiative to name the lane after Luella Price remains active and the sponsors would very much like to have this name recognized during Black History Month in 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> In 1910, Luella Price welcomed a handful of women to her home at 6A Redwood Avenue to form the Eureka Club. The Eureka Club was never more than 18 dedicated and compassionate women. Many of the spouses of the Eurekas were railway porters. It was their goal to offer aid to low-income Torontonians, quietly, on a one-to-one basis. Their motto was “Not for ourselves, but for others”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1980, at its 70th anniversary, the Eureka Club was the oldest Black women’s organization in Ontario. The naming of the laneway recognizes Luella Price and her contributions to our neighbourhood and city.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Luella Cooper was born on June 30, 1858, in Maryland. Maryland stayed in the Union during the Civil War although many supported slavery. Because it stayed in the Union, the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t apply to Maryland. Many moved from Maryland to Washington, D.C. to be free or to escape violent racism. In 1864 Maryland voted to free its enslaved people. Luella married her husband Grandison Price in June of 1875.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Prices moved north to Toronto. They lived on York Street where Luella worked as a dressmaker and Grandison worked as a barber. He later found work as a porter on the CPR railroad. Luella ran a boarding house where prominent Torontonians, such as Elisha Edmunds and John Hubbard, lived. By 1893 Luella had her own restaurant. But the wealthy landowners of York Street cleared the houses and businesses to build offices and factories. The Prices then moved to Morse Street in Leslieville.</p>
<p>In 1905 the Prices built their cottage at 6A Redwood Avenue. The Gerrard Greenwood area had a small but significant Black community.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grandison Price passed away on April 10, 1921. He had a stroke some years earlier and was partially paralyzed. Luella continued to live in her apartment building on Redwood Ave. until she died on June 15, 1935. She was 76 years old. She was buried beside Grandison in the St. John of Norway Cemetery, on June 18, 1935.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On her death certificate the neat handwriting of her foster son Robert J. Lynch has her “racial origin” as “Canadian”, but an official has crossed this out and written in “Coloured”.</p>
<p>This proud Canadian deserves to be remembered.</p> |
