Victoria Park Avenue at Musgrave Street (East Toronto)", which was adopted, without amendment by City
Council at its meeting held on July 6, 7 and 8, 1999:
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 18, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services District 1, Works and Emergency Services:
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to construct development-related road modifications and install traffic
control signals at the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue and Musgrave Street.
Funding Sources:
Funds to undertake the necessary road modifications and installation of the proposed traffic control signals are the
responsibility of the developer (IPCF properties) of the adjacent site.
Recommendations:
It is recommended, subject to the receipt of funds from the developer:
(1)That approval be given to alter sections of the roadway on Musgrave Street as described below:
"the widening of Musgrave Street from Victoria Park Avenue to a point approximately 100 metres westerly thereof from
the existing width which varies from 8.5 metres to 10.5 metres, to a new width varying between 8.5 metres and 12.5 metres
as shown schematically on the attached print of Drawing No. 42IF-5386, dated June, 1999";
(2)That coincident with the completion of the work identified in Recommendation No. 1 above;
(i)an eastbound left turn lane be designated on Musgrave Street, from Victoria Park Avenue to a point approximately 100
metres westerly;
(ii)a northbound left turn lane be designated on Victoria Park Avenue, from Musgrave Street to a point approximately
30.5 metres southerly;
(iii)a southbound left turn lane be designated on Victoria Park Avenue from Musgrave Street to a point approximately
30.5 metres northerly;
(3)That traffic control signals be installed at the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue and Musgrave Street;
(4)That the City Solicitor and City Clerk be requested to carry out the necessary statutory advertising commencing the
week of June 22, 1999, such that the required public hearing of the draft by-law to give effect to the highway alteration
referred to in Recommendation No.(1) above be considered at the July 15, 1999 meeting of Toronto Community Council;
and,
(5)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect thereto, including
the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
Comments:
A rezoning and site plan application has been approved for a proposed Loblaws store at Premises No. 612 Victoria Park
Avenue, located at the northwest quadrant of Victoria Park Avenue and Musgrave Street (Undertaking No. U397046 and
Zoning By-Law No. 1997-0420). The installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Gerrard Street East and
Dengate Road has been approved as a condition of approval of this development in order to accommodate the traffic
generated by this project.
The applicant has requested a second traffic control signal installation at the Victoria Park Avenue and Musgrave Street
intersection in order to improve access to and egress from the site via Musgrave Street. The proposed installation is
acceptable subject to the widening of Musgrave Street to provide an exclusive eastbound left-turn lane at the intersection.
The pavement markings at the intersection must also be modified to provide exclusive northbound and southbound
left-turn lanes on Victoria Park Avenue. In addition, the private road on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue, opposite
Musgrave Street, must be realigned with Musgrave Street and the parking lay-by, currently on the north side must be
relocated to the south side of the road. The applicant is required to obtain the consent of the owner of the private road for
these modifications.
Funds for the design, construction, supervision and administration of this work will be received from the proponent (IPCF
Properties) in the form of a letter of credit or certified cheques. Details of the work required to construct these road
modifications are summarized below. Drawing No. 42IF - 5386, dated June, 1999. showing these modifications is
appended to this report.
(a)removal and reconstruction of concrete curbs, gutter and sidewalks;
(b)construction of concrete road base and asphalt pavement;
(c)removal and reconstruction of catch basins and connections;
(d)installation of underground traffic signal ducts, hand wells and pole bases;
(e)alteration of traffic control devices; and,
(f)utility relocations.
These modifications have been developed using current department standards. The Victoria Park Avenue and Musgrave
Street widening/alterations constitute alterations to the public highways pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act.
The project is pre-approved in accordance with Schedule "A" of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Road
Projects. The total cost of the work is to be borne by the developer. In order to receive approval of these works in a manner
which coincides with the developers construction schedules, it is recommended that the requisite statutory advertising
commence upon recommendation for approval by Toronto Community Council.
Conclusion:
As a result of a Loblaws development abutting Musgrave Street, a widening is proposed on Musgrave Street, west of
Victoria Park Avenue to facilitate the provision of an eastbound left turn lane at Victoria Park Avenue. Furthermore, the
private road on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue will be realigned with Musgrave Street and traffic control signals will
be installed at this intersection. All costs will be borne by the developer.
