Speakers/Presentations – A complete list will be distributed at the meeting.

Transportation Services recommends that:

1.                  City Council permanently close that part of the public highway, Indian Line between Eglinton Avenue West and Renforth Drive, being part of the road allowance between the Townships of Etobicoke and Toronto Gore, designated as Part 1 on Plan 66R-24324, in the City of Toronto, shown as Part 1 on Sketch PS‑2010-037 (“Highway One”), and enact a by-law substantially in the form of the draft by-law attached as Appendix “A,” subject to City Council authorizing the sale of Highway One to The Corporation of the City of Mississauga.

2.                  City Council permanently close portions of the public highway Eglinton Avenue West, in the City of Mississauga, between Orbitor Drive to west of Spectrum Way, being Part 1 on Plan 43R-13337, Blocks 11,12 and 13 on Plan 43M-793 and Part 3 on Plan 43R-14617 and shown as Part 2 on Sketch PS-2009-080, Part 2 on Sketch PS-2009-081 and Part 2 and Part 4 on Sketch PS-2009-082a (collectively known as “Highway Two”), and enact a by-law substantially in the form of the draft by-law attached as Appendix “B,” subject to City Council authorizing the sale of Highway Two to The Corporation of the City of Mississauga.

The purpose of this report is to request Council’s approval to permanently “stop up and close” Indian Line, south of Matheson Boulevard East, and sections of the Eglinton Avenue West road allowance located on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, from a point just west of the Etobicoke Creek to Orbitor Drive.

The east section of the City of Mississauga’s bus rapid transit (BRT) facility is proposed in an at-grade alignment on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West, extending from the Etobicoke Creek to Renforth Drive. Sections of property within this proposed alignment are occupied by segments of unimproved road allowance presently owned by the City of Toronto (the City). The City of Mississauga has requested that the City convey certain portions of public highway owned by the City to accommodate the BRT. This will require that the City of Toronto formally close these sections of public highway if they are to be conveyed to the City of Mississauga.

Notice advising the public of the City’s intention to close these sections of road was published according to the requirements of Chapter 162 of the City of Toronto Municipal Code and the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) was informed of this proposal and does not object to the proposed road closings.

This matter is scheduled as a deputation item.

There is no financial impact associated with closing these sections of public highway, as The Corporation of the City of Mississauga (“City of Mississauga”) is required to pay all costs associated with closing Highway One and Highway Two.

2.            The on-street permit parking hours of operation on the east side of Armadale Avenue, between a point 86.9 metres north of Bloor Street West and Colbeck Street, and on the west side of Armadale Avenue, between a point 70 metres north of Bloor Street West and Colbeck Street be extended from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

3.            The on-street permit parking hours of operation on Weatherell Street, between Jane Street and Armadale Avenue be extended from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

This report summarizes the results of an investigation into installing serpentine parking on Armadale Avenue, between Weatherell Street and Colbeck Street. The intention of this parking amendment is to alternate the side which motorists are parked, thus resulting in motorists having to slow down to travel around parked vehicles.

Transportation Services recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council approve:

1.            Rescinding the existing “No Parking Anytime” regulation on the First Lane north of St. Clair Avenue West, between Prescott Avenue and Blackthorn Avenue.

2.            Enacting a “No Standing Anytime” regulation on the First Lane north of St. Clair Avenue West, between Prescott Avenue and Blackthorn Avenue.

The purpose of this report is to propose a “No Standing Anytime” regulation on the first lane north of St. Clair Avenue West, between Prescott Avenue and Blackthorn Avenue to replace the current “No Parking Anytime” regulation. When illegal parking occurs in this laneway, vehicles obstruct visibility for other lane users and contribute to traffic congestion. The stopping regulation is more stringent than the existing parking regulation.

Transportation Services recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council approve:

1.         Rescinding the existing one-way westbound operation on Holland Park Avenue, between Oakwood Avenue and Glenholme Avenue.

2.         Enacting a one-way westbound operation on Holland Park Avenue, between Glenholme Avenue and a point 40 metres west of Oakwood Avenue.

3.         Implementing and rescinding the parking regulations as outlined in the attached Appendix A.

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The purpose of this report is to propose converting a section of Holland Park Avenue, just west of Oakwood Avenue, from one-way westbound to two-way westbound and eastbound operation.

The proposed two-way operation will improve access to the property owners and businesses on the corner of Holland Park Avenue and Oakwood Avenue and, at the same time, remedy the illegal eastbound movements occurring on Holland Park Avenue as well as discourage trucks from travelling through the residential area.

Transportation Services recommends that City Council:

1.            Implement a “No Right Turn on Red” regulation at St. Clair Avenue West and Lansdowne Avenue for the northbound approach.

The purpose of this report is to advise on the need to install a “No Right Turn on Red” regulation at St. Clair Avenue West and Lansdowne Avenue for the northbound approach.

All costs associated with the installation of the “No Right Turn on Red” regulation are included within the Transportation Services Division’s 2010 Operating Budget estimate.

Transportation Services recommends that: 

1.            Etobicoke York Community Council approves the installation of on-street parking spaces for persons with disabilities at the locations identified in the attached Appendix A.

The purpose is to obtain approval for the installation of a number of on-street parking spaces for persons with disabilities.

Funds in the amount of $600.00 are available within Transportation Services Division’s 2010 Operating Budget.

Transportation Services recommends to Etobicoke York Community Council that:

1.         Traffic calming not be installed on Nairn Avenue, between Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue.

This report summarises the results of an investigation into installing speed humps on Nairn Avenue, between Rochdale Avenue and Kitchener Avenue. The staff review shows that the criteria for installing speed humps are not satisfied.

Adopting the above-noted recommendation does not result in any financial impact; however, if Community Council decides to approve installing traffic calming devices on this section of Nairn Avenue, the following financial impact will result:

1.            The estimated cost for installing approximately two speed humps will be $6,000.00. This can be accommodated within funds allocated by City Council as part of the Transportation Capital Budget, subject to competing priorities and funding availability.

That the Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.            Re-open Item EY34.1, headed “Burrard Road and Caulfield Road – All-Way Stop Control”, adopted by the Etobicoke York Community Council on February 9, 2010.

2.            Rescind the compulsory stop regulations that were enacted on Burrard Road at Caulfield Road through By-law 240-2010.

At its meeting on February 9, 2010, the Etobicoke York Community Council approved the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of Burrard Road and Caulfield Road.

A staff report (September 16, 2009), headed “Burrard Road and Caulfield Road – All-Way Stop Control”, presented the results of an investigation for the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of Burrard Road and Caulfield Road.  A staff assessment has determined that the criteria for the installation of an all-way stop for this location have not been achieved.  Specifically, the minimum warrant requirements are not met at this intersection due to the low traffic volumes entering from the minor street and the good safety record.

Area residents have since indicated they do not want an all-way stop control at this intersection and have requested that it be removed.

That the Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.            Not require the Site Plan Approval application under review for 98 Index Road and 150 North Queen Street to be “bumped up” to the Etobicoke York Community Council.
