BACKGROUND - Many development projects have been approved or proposed within the Leslieville Community that may impact travel patterns and congestion. This may intensify a number of transportation issues once development has been completed.

OBJECTIVE - To identify a prioritized action plan of innovative short and long-term projects to mitigate transportation issues.

PROJECT SCHEDULE - The project kicked off in June 2018, and is targeting a completion date in Winter 2018

Final Report


Study BackgroundBackgroundThere are currently a number of transportation issues that may be intensified once development has been completed. At the City Council meeting on November 3 and 4, 2015, Councillor Paula Fletcher introduced a motion which was carried concerning the 629, 633 and 675 Eastern Avenue Zoning By-Law Amendment. The motion required a Traffic Management and Mitigation Study to be performed. The Traffic Management and Mitigation Study will review the transportation impacts from proposed development projects.

There were additional requests made by City Council. A summary of these items from both motions are highlighted below.

TE11.4 - City Council consideration on November 3, 2015 - Final Report - 629, 633 and 675 Eastern Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment ApplicationCity Council on November 3 and 4, 2015, adopted the following: …

3. City Council approve the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Caroline Avenue and Eastern Avenue, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, at the applicant’s expense.4. City Council approve the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of the site driveway to 629, 633 and 675 Eastern Avenue (the extension of Caroline Avenue) and Lake Shore Boulevard East, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, at the applicant’s expense.

5. City Council request the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District in co-operation with the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to continue to work with the traffic working group for 629, 633 and 675 Eastern Avenue on addressing any traffic infiltration issues in the neighbourhood immediately north of the subject property and to bring forward any recommendations to Toronto and East York Community Council as required.…7. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the owner to enter into an Agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act as follows:

…h. the owner shall, when required by the City, build a roadway over the proposed main north-south thoroughfare through the site (between Lakeshore Boulevard East and Eastern Avenue) (the “Easement Road”) to the City’s applicable standards for public roads, the precise location and specifications of which are to be secured in conjunction with site plan approval for the first phase of the development;i. the owner shall, when required by the City, transfer a surface easement to the City and general public over the Easement Road for nominal consideration;…o. the owner shall pay for all costs for the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Caroline Avenue and Eastern Avenue and the intersection of 629 Eastern Avenue (the new Street A) and Lake Shore Boulevard East;

and the owner shall pay all costs for the installation of traffic control signals at Pape Avenue and Eastern Avenue if recommended in the local traffic mitigation plan;

…10. City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission to review options to better service 629, 633 and 675 Eastern Avenue including the possibility of the extension of the 72 Pape Avenue bus route, the potential of creating an eastbound and westbound stop for the 143 Downtown/Beach Express bus and/or any other possible service options.…13. City Council request the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, in co-operation with the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to continue to work with the Traffic Working Group for 629, 633, and 675 Eastern Avenue to develop a Traffic Management Mitigation Plan, and in doing so include the following:

TE18.5 - City Council consideration on October 5, 2016 - Final Report - 897 and 899 Queen Street East - Zoning Amendment ApplicationCity Council on October 5, 6 and 7, 2016, adopted the following: …

7. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and report to the Toronto and East York Community Council in the first quarter of 2017 on the potential to explore changes to the use and design of the Morse-McGee laneway (which extends east from Empire Avenue to Carlaw Avenue), adjacent to the subject site, to potentially formalize safe pedestrian movement on the laneway.


Hot Spots: Queen Street & Jones Avenue

There are a large number of pedestrians and turning vehicles, resulting in a large number of conflicts.

Opportunities:

1. Right-turn-on-red (RTOR) restrictions would help separate vehicular flows and pedestrian movements, but would lower intersection vehicle capacity

2. Leading Pedestrian Interval (an “advanced walk phase”) would give pedestrians a “head start”, but would lower intersection vehicle capacity

3. Relocate westbound streetcar stop to reduce conflicts with eastbound left turns

4. Install bicycle boxes on Jones Avenue for southbound left-turning bicycles

SCHOOL

School Zones: Morse Street, Berkshire Avenue, and Larchmount AvenueNorthbound lane along Morse Street had TDSB vehicles parked in drop-off area.

Opportunities:1. Restrict and enforce on-street parking

2. Relocate school board vehicles to other streets during start/end of school

Some pick-up drop-off activities along Morse St, Berkshire Ave, and Larchmount Ave were taking place from live traffic lane, the wrong side of street and/or blocking sidewalks.

Opportunities:1. Expand and enforce on-street parking

2. Discourage “wrong side” drop-offs

3. Simplify school drop-off area regulations

4. Formalize school drop-off area on Berkshire Ave

Heavy traffic and high speeds makes Carlaw Ave undesirable for school pick-ups / drop-offs.

Opportunities:1. Formalize the space in front of Morse St

Public School for school activities

2. Restrict general traffic from southbound lane

3. Encourage pick-up/drop-off along Morse St

4. Reduce speed limit on Carlaw Ave to 30km/hr during school times

On-street parking interferes with garbage collection, forcing vehicles into on-coming traffic.

Opportunities:1. Restrict or relocate on-street parking


Pedestrians: Crossings

Crosswalks and pedestrian signals were well used, but many pedestrians cross at unprotected crossings and at mid-block locations. Eastern Avenue is of particular concern, with large distances between protected crossing locations.

Opportunities:

1. Reassess the locations of existing signalized intersections

2. Reassess the locations of existing pedestrian crosswalks (PXOs)

3. Replace existing PXOs with signalized intersections

4. Provide additional PXOs

Queen St. and Morse St., looking north


Speeding: Speeds Along Local Roads

Data suggests that more than half of vehicles travelling along the local streets within the study area are doing so faster than the posted speed limits.

Opportunities:

1. Provide traffic calming elements along local streets, such as on-street parking, planters, bump-outs (of the curb), or other “road diet” (narrowing) features

2. Assess locations of speed limit signage

3. Consistently set speed limits with nature of street and road classification

Other: Traffic Signs

There is a lot of signage along all streets within the study area. Too much information presented to drivers may result in confusion and/or indifference, resulting in non-compliance.

Opportunities:

1. Assess on-street policies to ensure these align with signage provided

2. Consolidate signs, ensure visibility, and only present what is needed

Other: Laneways

Laneways were heavily used by students and families, but are shared spaces to be used by all parties.

Opportunities:

1. Entrances to laneways can be formalized to increase visibility. Potential streetscaping and/or traffic calming may help

2. Signage and traffic calming along some laneways exist, but consistent design may assist road users with navigating safely

Vision Zero Road Safety Plan

What is the Purpose? To eliminate killed and seriously injured (KSI) collisions in Toronto through data-driven and map-based decision making. Safety measures include engineering, education, enforcement, and technology programs and initiatives.

How Does it Relate to this Study?With several future developments leading to an increase in the number of pedestrians, transit users, and cyclists, safety measures from the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan will be considered when implementing changes to the road network.

What is Being Done Now?The City of Toronto has proposed that the streets abutting Morse Street Junior Public School (Carlaw Ave and Morse St), and Bruce Public School (Larchmount Ave and Berkshire Ave) be designated as Community Safety Zones between Queen St E and Eastern Ave. Community Safety Zones come with a suite of safety measures options including automated speed enforcement, “Watch Your Speed” feedback signs, improved signage, pavement markings, and many others.

25

The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan identifies and addresses six emphasis areas, which were determined through collision data analysis, public engagement and Council direction. They include Pedestrians, School Children, Older Adults, Cyclists, Motorcyclists and Aggressive Driving and Distraction.

For each of these emphasis areas, the plan outlines existing, enhanced and new safety measures that includes engineering, education, enforcement and technology programs and initiatives.

WHAT ARE OUR EMPHASIS AREAS?
