PRESENTATION
DEPUTANTS
General Manager, Transportation Services
Executive Director and Chief Planner, City Planning
(May 5, 1999)
Requesting the Urban Environment and Development Committee to make a final decision on
whether or not the City should proceed with the F.G. Gardiner Expressway East Dismantling
Project as endorsed by the former City of Toronto and Metro Toronto Councils in December,
1996. An assessment carried out in April, 1999 indicates that the structural condition of the
Expressway has reached a point where it is essential that either dismantling take place or the
full rehabilitation program be initiated. We cannot predict a time or date at which a structural
failure could occur. However, the risk to public safety increases every day that work is
deferred. This report also presents the results of four studies authorized at the December 1,
1998 meeting of the Urban Environment and Development Committee: the Alternative Rail
Service Delivery Study, the Community Improvement Plan, the Air Quality Study - Phase III,
and the Area Traffic Management Study; and responds to various requests made at the same
meeting, and recommending that the Committee:
1)endorse the Gardiner Expressway East Dismantling Project, as originally approved by the
former City of Toronto and Metro Toronto Councils, and direct staff to reinitiate the project
immediately;

implementation of the Community Improvement Projects, listed in Sections 3.1 and 3.4 of the
Community Improvement Plan contained in Appendix 3 of this report, whose completion is to
coincide with the overall project;
(c)allocate $250,000 from the Gardiner East Dismantling Project as a contribution towards
completing additional Community Improvement Projects listed in the Community
Improvement Plan contained in Appendix 3 of this report;
(d) request the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism to investigate
and report back on the potential for improvements, to Leslie Grove Park as outlined in Section
4.1 of Appendix 3 of this report;

(i) to review street lighting conditions on Queen Street East, Eastern Avenue, and on public
lanes within the Community Improvement Plan area and report back;
(ii)to install, monitor, and report back on the effectiveness of traffic management measures
on Logan Avenue described in Section 5.1 of Appendix 3 of this report; and
(iii)coincident with the removal of the existing pedestrian crossover on Eastern Avenue at
Caroline Avenue, to install a pedestrian activated traffic control signal on Eastern Avenue at
Larchmount Avenue described in Section 5.2 of Appendix 3 of this report.
(f) the Parking Authority of Toronto be requested to investigate and report on the feasibility of
creating a commercial lot to service businesses on Queen Street East between Carlaw Avenue
and Leslie Street.
(3) request the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to hold $100,000.00 in
reserve for a Film Industry awareness campaign to address the concerns raised by the Film
Industry.

transportation corridors as a priority in longterm landuse and transportation planning;
