- Bartlett Avenue North (Davenport)

The Toronto Community Council recommends that the installation of disabled on-street parking on Bartlett Avenue North, east side, from a point 158 metres south of Davenport Road to a point 5.5 metres further south, be approved.

The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (November 25, 1998) from the Director of Transportation Services, District 1, Works and Emergency Services:

Purpose:

To report on requests for the installation of a number of disabled on-street parking spaces.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Funds to undertake the necessary signage adjustments in the estimated amount of $600 .00 contained in the Transportation Services Division 1998 Current Budget.

Recommendations:

(1)That the installation of disabled on-street parking spaces as noted in Table AA@ of this report be approved; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that may be required.

Comments:

Works and Emergency Services staff have investigated the feasibility of installing a number of on-street disabled persons parking spaces at various locations as outlined on the attached Table "A" of this report.

All applicants are holders of valid disabled persons parking permits issued by the Ministry of Transportation and the designated space will not result in the deprivation of more than one on-street parking space.

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to advise on the status of the acquisition of the above properties for laneway purposes.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Council Reference/Background/History:

At its meeting of December 16 and 17, 1998, City Council adopted, without amendment, Clause 13 of Toronto Community Council Report No. 16 in which, among other things, the Toronto Community Council reported having

"(1)deferred consideration of the installation of disabled on-street parking at Bartlett Avenue North, east side, from a point 158 metres south of Davenport Road to a point 5.5 metres further south, until its meeting to be held on January 20, 1999; and

(2)requested the City Solicitor to submit at that time the previously requested report on the status of the proposed laneway between Bartlett Avenue and Salem Avenue."

The "previously requested report" referred to is a follow-up to an earlier status report which I had prepared for Councillor Disero.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

The project requires the conveyance to the City of the rear 2.44 metres of 35 separate properties. The breakdown of the status of the 35 conveyances is as follows:

(1)acquisitions entirely completed:13 ;

(2)acquisitions at the final stage:3 (i.e. to be completed as soon as tax and water account statements and a building compliance certificate are received, all of which have been requested from the appropriate departments) ;

(3)properties where City-prepared documents are in the hands of vendors and mortgagees for execution (except for 3 which are being revised):8 ;

(4)properties still in negotiation with owners (possible settlements):4 ; and

(5)properties possible to have to proceed to expropriation:7.
