Origin
Summary
This report is submitted to Infrastructure and Environment Committee as Broadway Avenue forms a shared boundary between the Toronto and East York Community Council and the North York Community Council.
Roehampton Avenue, Broadway Avenue and Redpath Avenue are residential streets located within the recently created area known as the Yonge/Eglinton Construction Hub. The Yonge/Eglinton Construction Hub was created to provide coordination amongst the large number of redevelopment projects that are currently taking place and are proposed within a small geographical area, as a way to improve safety, mitigate the impacts of construction traffic and ensure consultation between the parties involved.
There are a number of sites on both Broadway Avenue and Redpath Avenue that are currently undergoing redevelopment, with several more sites proposed to come online in the next few months. Typically, the impacts of development sites are reviewed individually and amendments are proposed in the immediate area of the site. However, due to the concentration of redevelopment sites on Broadway Avenue and Roehampton Avenue, Transportation Services determined that additional measures were required to mitigate the impacts to the community, including dedicated space for construction vehicles to pass through development sites.
The purpose of this report is to introduce regulations and parking amendments that designate areas of Broadway Avenue, Redpath Avenue and Roehampton Avenue as haul routes, or designated areas where construction vehicles can travel safely and efficiently through the development sites located within the subject area.
There are a total of eight large scale redevelopment projects that are currently underway or proposed to begin in the first half of 2021, on the subject sections of Broadway Avenue and Redpath Avenue. In addition, Transportation Services anticipates at least three additional sites being proposed on these two streets. As a result, Transportation Services staff, in consultation with the Ward Councillors and local residents associations have been working on a solution to maintain required construction vehicle access to and to minimize disruptions to existing residents while ensuring safety for pedestrians, cyclist and all road users.
Transportation Services is recommending that Roehampton Avenue between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road be designated for one-way traffic eastbound and Broadway Avenue be designated for one-way westbound between Mount Pleasant Avenue and Yonge Street.
Transportation Services is also recommending several amendments to the existing parking regulations on these streets. The proposed amendments will provide enhanced safety for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic while allowing construction vehicles access to their respective sites. These regulations include prohibiting stopping at all times in the following locations:
- The north side of Roehampton Avenue, between Yonge Street and Redpath Avenue
- Both sides of Redpath Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue East and Erskine Avenue
- Both sides of Broadway Avenue between Mount Pleasant Avenue and a point 195 metres west of Redpath Avenue
- The north side of Broadway Avenue between a point 195 metres west of Redpath Avenue and Yonge Street, except for the existing "Pay and Display" and "School Bus Loading Zone" east of Yonge Street that will be maintained.
In an effort to maintain on-street parking for area residents, it is recommended that the existing "No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday" and "Maximum 1-hour Parking 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday" be relocated from the north side of Broadway Avenue to the south side, along the frontage of North Toronto Collegiate Institute.
Transportation Services is not recommending any changes to the existing parking regulations on the south side of Roehampton Avenue between Yonge Street and Redpath Avenue that would affect the number of on-street parking spaces.
In addition, it is recommended that stopping be prohibited at all times on the east side of Yonge Street between Broadway Avenue and a point 30.5 metres north.
