11, titled "Narrowing of the Pavement on Dufferin Street north of CNE Grounds (Trinity-Niagara)", which was
adopted by City Council at its meeting held on July 27, 28, 29 and 30, 1999:
(City Council on July 27, 28, 29 and 30, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (July 7, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 1:
Purpose:
To authorize the narrowing of the pavement on Dufferin Street through the creation of widened sidewalks to improve
pedestrian amenities and facilitate the planting of trees.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Funds to cover the cost of the work, in the estimated amount of $200,000.00 are available in the Urban Planning and
Development Services and the Works and Emergency Services 1999 Capital Accounts.
Recommendations:
(1)That approval be given to narrow the pavement on Dufferin Street as follows:
"The realignment and narrowing of the pavement on DUFFERIN STREET from a width of 14.4 m to a width of 11.0 m
from a point 28.5 m south of the F. G. Gardiner Expressway Bridge to a point 75 m further north thereof ."; and
(2)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:
The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place, in connection with ongoing infrastructure improvement work within the CNE
grounds, have developed a plan of streetscape improvements in the vicinity of the Dufferin Gates, including a minor
narrowing of the pavement and landscaping improvements on the Dufferin Street Bridge over the F. G. Gardiner
Expressway.
The work within the Dufferin Street right-of-way includes a minor narrowing of the pavement and corresponding creation
of inner boulevards, the installation of planters back of curb, and the removal of the existing barriers along the centre line
of the street for the full extent of the structure.
Dufferin Street from a point 28.5 m south of the F. G. Expressway Bridge to a point 75m further north functions as a
arterial road and carries two-way north and southbound traffic, with a pavement width of 14.4 m. No parking is allowed on
this section of the Street.
The work, as shown on the Attached print of Drawing No. SK-2226 June 1999, and described in Recommendation No. 1
above, will not adversely affect the functioning of traffic on the street.
The narrowing of the pavement on Dufferin Street constitutes an alteration to a public highway pursuant to the provisions
of the Municipal Act.
This work is pre-approved in accordance with Schedule "A" of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Road
Projects.
