Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the extension of the hours of the traffic and parking regulations on King Street between Bathurst Street and Roncesvalles Avenue and between Jarvis Street and Parliament Street to encompass 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. as contained in Appendix 2 of the report (June 2, 2014) from the Director, Transportation Infrastructure Management, Transportation Services.
Origin
Summary
At the end of April 2014, major rehabilitation of the westerly section of the Gardiner Expressway commenced. The work comprises three major construction projects including the replacement of the west deck of the elevated section generally between Strachan Avenue and Bathurst Street, the replacement of the median on a portion of the at-grade section, and bridge structural rehabilitation. The replacement of the west deck will be undertaken in two stages, with a two-month break in July/August 2015 during the Pan Am Games, and will be completed by December 2016. These works require the closure of one lane of traffic in each direction and, as a result, some motorists seek alternate routes for their daily commutes to avoid the traffic delays on the Gardiner Expressway.
King Street is one convenient alternative connection providing access to and from the west via The Queensway. In order to improve traffic flow on King Street and enhance the vehicle capacity of the east-west corridor in the southern portion of the City, it is recommended that the peak period parking and traffic restrictions that currently exist on King Street between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street (7:00-10:00 a.m. and 3:00-7:00 p.m.) be extended westerly from Bathurst Street to Roncesvalles Avenue and easterly from Jarvis Street to Parliament Street. These changes will not only help vehicular traffic flow on King Street but also improve the King Street streetcar operations and service, which is the TTC's busiest surface transit route carrying approximately 60,000 passengers on an average weekday.
