The lands are located to the south of the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant, including the newly constructed Ashbridges Bay Land Form. The lands will accommodate new utility and transportation infrastructure, and establish new natural areas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Landform Project is being constructed to provide erosion and sediment control in Ashbridges Bay and create new land for the construction of a future High Rate Treatment Facility for stormwater alongside new natural areas as a joint project between the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. An area of 2.5 hectares for the expansion Tommy Thompson Park and 1.25 hectares of land will be publicly accessible shoreline.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan, including the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan. The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment will allow for the future construction of important City infrastructure to improve water quality and support growth. The proposal is required to permit the future utility and transportation infrastructure on the lands and will preserve the new parkland and public access shoreline as natural areas.</p> | 23 | 5 | CCOUNCIL |

The area includes a mix of single and semi-detached houses, low-rise walk-up apartment buildings, mid-rise and tall buildings and tower-in-the-park style purpose-built rental buildings. Newer developments are concentrated around the St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street intersection and on Raglan Avenue, and development interest is spreading to the surrounding areas.

<p> </p>
<p>The subject properties at 132, 136, 138, 142, 144, and 148 Dundas Street are located at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Elizabeth Street in the Yonge-Bay Corridor neighbourhood. Constructed in 1907 and known as the Wineberg Apartments, the subject properties comprise a 3-storey, brick, walk-up apartment building with storefronts at street level that defines the early-twentieth-century, main street character of a portion of Dundas Street West in what was once “The Ward”. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property is found in Attachment 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The subject property at 24 Jefferson Avenue is located between Jefferson Avenue and Pardee Avenue north of the rail corridor and south of Liberty Street in the South Parkdale neighbourhood. The property contains a three-to-four storey brick factory/warehouse type building constructed primarily between c.1905 and 1912 that is part of an important collection of surviving industrial buildings in the area known today as Liberty Village. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property is found in Attachment 2.</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>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>The Ward Councillor has received numerous complaints from area residents and local businesses regarding vehicles parking on both sides of Lippincott Street, between Bloor Street West and Lennox Street. This activity negatively impacts sightlines, traffic flow and pedestrian safety. In particular, tour buses are parking long-term at Lippincott Street and Bloor Street West, impacting traffic operations at this intersection and pedestrian safety.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services recommends enhancing the current parking regulations on this section of Lippincott Street to further deter on-street parking. In addition, staff are recommending the establishment of a Commercial Loading Zone on the west side of Lippincott Street, south of Bloor Street West, to accommodate the necessary loading/unloading requirements for local businesses.</p> | 23 | 37 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 11 - University - Rosedale | N | … | Report | ACTION | Amended |

<p> </p>
<p>At the request of the Ward Councillor, in consultation with St. Lawrence Market North staff, Transportation Services reviewed commercial loading opportunities on Front Street East. These changes are intended to help facilitate this activity during events at the St. Lawrence Market North facility. In addition, staff reviewed enhancing the current parking regulations on the east side of Jarvis Street, between Front Street East and King Street East. These changes are intended to help minimise congestion and delays on this section of roadway for motorists entering/exiting the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) underground parking facility, located on the west side of Jarvis Street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services supports the requested changes and is recommending:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- establishing a Commercial Loading Zone on the north side of Front Street East, west of Jarvis Street, that will operate at all times; and</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- prohibiting stopping at all times on the east side of Jarvis Street, between Front Street East and King Street East. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed parking amendments will help facilitate loading and unloading operations for businesses at St. Lawrence Market North on Front Street East and will deter all curbside activity from taking place on Jarvis Street, minimizing congestion during parking operations to/from the TPA underground parking facility. There will be no loss of on-street parking.</p> | 23 |

| 140774 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Parking and Traffic Amendments - Dundas Street West - Findings Report on Pilot Initiative | 2025.TE23.50 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Dundas Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In May 2024, Transportation Services recommended temporary parking and traffic amendments on Dundas Street West, between Spadina Avenue and McCaul Street, to enhance transit service. These changes were in support of the closure of the 510 Spadina streetcar right-of-way, initially scheduled from June until December of 2024. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) required alternate ways to support customers accessing the Chinatown neighbourhood during this time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To support the 505 Dundas streetcar travelling through Chinatown, the on-street paid parking in this section of Dundas Street West was to be removed during the construction period. This was generally replaced with regulations that prohibited stopping during the daytime periods and parking during the overnight periods. Additionally, areas were identified through consultation with the Chinatown BIA for on-street commercial and accessible loading activities. Finally, the existing weekday peak period turn prohibitions at Dundas Street West and Spadina Avenue were also amended to include weekends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the TTC's construction on Spadina Avenue was not completed by the end of December 2024, Transportation Services subsequently recommended extending the temporary parking and traffic amendments on Dundas Street West to be in effect until the end of March 2025. Based on the TTC's findings and community consultation, adjustments were made to the parking and stopping prohibitions at this time to restore some paid parking outside the daytime peak period on the south side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of the extension approval, Transportation Services were also directed to report back by the second quarter of 2025 on the results of the temporary changes and the feasibility of making the changes permanent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through consultation with the TTC, the data indicates that travel times have improved, with the following results:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- In the eastbound direction, TTC saw improvements of up to 7% on the weekdays and 6% on the weekends in September. There was no impact major impact to the travel times when the parking signs were restored on the south side when looking at the January 2025 travel time numbers.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- In the westbound direction, TTC saw improvements of up to 21% on weekdays and 10% on weekends in September. In January after signage changes on the south side were made, these improvements continued to be similar with improvements of up to 21% on weekdays and 12% on weekends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The TTC have reviewed the ridership numbers and there was no noticeable increase along the corridor, but the travel time and reliability improvement did impact the 14,000 daily customers who take the 505 streetcar on this stretch from Bathurst Street to University Avenue. The TTC are in favour of maintaining the current conditions permanently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The pilot project has resulted in the loss of approximately 81 on-street paid parking spaces and four parking machines, as well as a 94% decrease in transactions. If the spaces were to close permanently, the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) assessed that the financial impact would be a loss of $322,000.00 in annual gross revenue (estimate), plus $6,780.00 for the pay machines (including tax).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, there is still alternative parking available for customers at nearby on-street paid parking locations (about 269 spaces within a 300-metre radius) and off-street Green P facilities including Car Park 150 at 40 Larch Street (capacity of 332 spaces), where TPA is currently pursuing state of good repair and wayfinding capital improvements. The average daily peak utilization at these parking locations indicates that there is capacity to absorb additional parking demand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There was consultation through Councillor's Saxe's office to advise the impacted business on this corridor to ensure there was general support for the changes made through the pilot period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the pilot initiative on Dundas Street West achieves the goals of the Congestion Management plan in moving more people through the City, Transportation Services recommends that the temporary changes be made permanent.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>A highly accomplished abstract artist, Carol's work is featured in major public collections across North America, including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Canada Council Art Bank in Ottawa, and the Edmonton Art Gallery, among others. As a woman exhibiting in major galleries around North America during a time when the field was still heavily male-dominated, Sutton’s presence helped pave the way for other female abstract artists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carol’s home and studio overlook Joel Weeks Park in East York. Beginning in the early 1980s, she took it upon herself to care for the then-named Joel Weeks Parkette. Her volunteer stewardship included planting trees and shrubs, maintaining gardens, cleaning the grounds, and even replacing basketball nets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the neighbourhood underwent redevelopment and Joel Weeks Parkette was expanded and renamed Joel Weeks Park, Carol was an active participant in community consultation meetings. In recognition of her longstanding contributions, a special garden bed was included in the park design, located beside the basketball courts and near the water fountain, just for Carol’s gardening. Carol and her husband, sculptor André Fauteux, lovingly created and maintained a vibrant perennial flower bed there. When Carol could no longer tend to it due to Alzheimer’s, André continued to care for the garden in her honour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Naming this garden after Carol would be a meaningful tribute to her devotion and lasting impact on the community. A formal naming application was submitted to Strategic Partnerships by the local BIA, with strong support from both residents and Carol’s family.</p> |

The property owner worked with Transportation Services staff to ensure the structure does not interfere with pedestrian visibility or safety at the nearby intersection. A recent site visit confirmed improvements were completed by the property owner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed recommendations will enable the City of Toronto to enter into an encroachment agreement with the property owner at 224 Hallam Street to keep the lemonade stand in place while ensuring it is safe for residents who are walking by.</p> | 23 | 55 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 9 - Davenport | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New |
| 140994 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Location of Hoverlink terminal adjacent to the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | 2025.TE23.56 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>There is a proposal by Hoverlink Ontario, a private entity, to operate a rapid hovercraft transit service between Toronto and St. Catharines in the Niagara region. The proposed 30-minute service is to start in Spring 2027, at the earliest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed Toronto landing pad and passenger waiting area would be located in Ward 10, Spadina-Fort York on the south side of the western channel at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoverlink has entered into an agreement with PortsToronto. Passengers would use the Billy Bishop Airport tunnel or ferry to access the mainland and local transportation options in Bathurst Quay.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There has not been a formal submission of information and technical reports to the City, however, City staff have been advised by Hoverlink Ontario that:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Storage and servicing of the hovercraft vessels would take place at the business’s St. Catharines location;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Each hovercraft vessel can accommodate up to 180 passengers;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The vessels do not carry vehicles but would accommodate bicycles and luggage;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Hovercrafts operate at 1m above the water’s surface;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The fan technology on the proposed vessels has noise levels that vary with speed but are 67 decibels at 8 knots at 50m offshore; and</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Additional public and stakeholder consultation will occur as a part of next steps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am recommending City staff undertake, with internal resources, due diligence on the local impacts that will be outlined in the information and technical reports that the proponents will eventually be providing to the City.</p> |
| 140976 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Re-Opening and Amending TE18.66 - Addressing Traffic Concerns on Austin Terrace | 2025.TE23.57 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>I am kindly asking for your support of my letter that will re-install on-street parking options to residents on Austin Terrace. In December 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted <a href="https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.TE18.66">TE18.66</a> addressing traffic concerns that resulted from an installation of a new sidewalk on Austin Terrace. This motion is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is recommending making amendments to <a href="https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.TE18.66">TE18.66</a> to reinstate parking on the south side of Austin Terrace between Lyndhurst Court and a point 20 metres west, where there is space available to reinstate parking on a portion of the south side of Austin Terrace.</p> | 23 | 57 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New |
| 140978 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Tarlton Parking Adjustments | 2025.TE23.58 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>At the request of the Eglinton Way BIA and local businesses, I am introducing a minor adjustment to the parking and loading arrangement on Eglinton Avenue West and Tarlton Road to increase the number of paid parking spots on Eglinton Avenue and provide more direct access for Wheel-Trans customers to a highly frequented medical facility. As such, the current accessible loading area in front of 453 Eglinton Avenue West will be relocated around the corner to Tarlton Rd just south of Eglinton making it closer to the entrance of the Forest Hill Medical and Professional Building at 491 Eglinton Avenue West, and providing 3 additional paid parking spaces on Eglinton Avenue West.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The required bylaw changes on Eglinton Avenue West to this effect were updated as part of the EglintonTOday bylaw submission <a href="2024.IE13.2 – 76-2025">2024.IE13.2 – 76-2025</a> in February 2025. This letter adds the necessary changes to Tarlton Rd which were beyond the delegated authority of the EglintonTOday Complete Street project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This change has been developed in coordination with Wheel-Trans, Toronto Parking Authority, The Eglinton Way BIA and the EglintonTOday Complete Street project team.</p> | 23 | 58 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | … |

| 141017 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Strengthening Traffic Action for Liberty Village | 2025.TE23.61 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>In Summer 2024, at the height of untenable traffic congestion in Liberty Village, my office moved forward a Traffic Action Plan for the neighbourhood. This focused around the need for tangible immediate, short, medium and longer-term improvements to ease congestion, as well as a focus on regular touchpoints with community stakeholders and local residents.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As we plan and coordinate around special events in the community this summer, and as residents continue to report serious traffic concerns in navigating in and out of the neighbourhood, this strategy requires further iteration and commitment. This needs to include proactive and coordinated engagement and communication with my office, neighbourhood stakeholders, and residents on the progress of implementation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am looking to see the response to amendments made by my office at the October 2024 meeting of TEYCC.</p> | 23 | 61 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 10 - Spadina - Fort York | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New |

| 141019 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Parking Amendments on Browning Avenue between Pape Avenue and Carlaw Avenue | 2025.TE23.63 | DELEG | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>Residents of Browning Ave between Pape Ave and Carlaw Ave have requested an amendment to the existing parking restriction on the north side of their street due to limited parking availability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is a small stretch of Browning that falls under a legacy East York bylaw enacted in 1979 for which there is no recorded rationale. The residents in this section, covered by the East York bylaw, currently have access to permit parking in the areas of Browning not covered by this bylaw.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have received a petition from the majority of residents living on Browning between Pape and Carlaw supporting such a change. City staff have indicated their support.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to amend this parking restriction and allow residents to have access to additional on-street parking.</p> | 23 | 63 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 14 - Toronto - Danforth | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New | Delegated |
