Queens Quay Revitalization Environmental Assessment and East Bayfront Transit Environmental Assessment
City Council Decision

City Council on September 30 and October 1, 2009, adopted the following:

 

With respect to the Queens Quay Revitalization Environmental Assessment:

 

1.         City Council grant authority to Waterfront Toronto to issue a Notice of Completion following completion of the Environmental Study Report to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, substantially in the form outlined in the report (May 14, 2009) from the Deputy City Manager, Richard Butts, and to file the ESR for the Queens Quay Revitalization Environmental Assessment Study in the public record for 30 days in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

 

2.         The Queens Quay Revitalization Environmental Assessment report and Environmental Study Report (ESR) provide for an additional egress-only traffic control signal at the Robertson Crescent/Queens Quay West intersection under the following conditions:

 

             i.         the signal be limited to right turn (eastbound) egress only;

 

ii.          the signal will operate under complete transit pre-emptive control;

           

iii.         the signal will operate independent of, and not be coordinated with, any of the adjacent or nearby signals;

 

            iv.         the intersection at this location will not provide north-south pedestrian crossing facilities;

 

           v.         an alternative location for loading and drop-off for adjacent landowners and businesses be confirmed; and

 

            vi.         the proposed bus turning plaza be removed from the Environmental Assessment recommendations.

 

 3.        Consistent with the direction in the Queens Quay Revitalization EA report and to ensure the safety of all right-of-way users, detailed design of Queens Quay West will provide for:

 

i.          a physical separation between traffic lanes on Queens Quay West and the adjacent transit right-of-way; and

 

            ii.          the retention of a traffic safety and operations consultant to provide expert advice during the design process, with such consultant being to the satisfaction of the Deputy City Manager responsible for Transportation Services and Waterfront Revitalization and the Chief General Manager of the Toronto Transit Commission.

 

4.         City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services and Waterfront Toronto, in consultation with the relevant City divisions, to study the opportunity to provide a new north-south road connection linking Queens Quay West to Lake Shore Boulevard opposite the Fire/EMS driveway, west of Rees Street, and if feasible, to bring forward the necessary report(s) to Council for consideration.

 

5.         City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Director, Waterfront Secretariat and Waterfront Toronto, in consultation with the relevant City divisions, local Councillors and impacted stakeholders, to continue to refine the Preliminary Curb Management Plan appearing in Appendix 6 of the report (May 14, 2009) from the Deputy City Manager, Richard Butts, together with the development of a waterfront bus management strategy consistent with the timing of detailed design and the reconstruction of Queens Quay.

 

6.         City Council direct that a traffic consultant be jointly hired by the Deputy City Manager for Waterfront Revitalization and the Chief General Manager of the Toronto Transit Commission, to address the various detailed design issues identified in the report.

 

7.         The Chair, Toronto Police Services Board be requested to review and report back to City Council on the feasibility of utilizing the Denver Boot as a means of enforcing parking restrictions for tour buses on Queens Quay.

 

With respect to the East Bayfront Transit Environmental Assessment:

 

8.         City Council authorize the Chief General Manager of the TTC and the General Manager of Transportation Services to issue a Notice of Completion for the East Bayfront Transit Environmental Assessment, following the completion of the Environmental Study Report (ESR) substantially in the form outlined in the report (May 28, 2009) from the General Manager, Toronto Transit Commission, and place the report in the public record for a minimum 30-day period in accordance with the requirements under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Act.

 

9.         City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at only the following intersections on Queens Quay East: Freeland Street, the westerly-most access to 95 Queens Quay East, Richardson Street, Sherbourne Street, and Proposed Street "D" (as shown in Exhibit 11) of the report (May 28, 2009) from the General Manager, Toronto Transit Commission, coincident with the reconstruction of Queens Quay East.

 

10.       City Council require that any future proposals for the installation of additional signals on this section of Queens Quay East be supported by an independent technical audit, completed to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Chief General Manager of the TTC, to ensure that such signals can be installed in a way that does not negatively affect streetcar operations. This includes the signals suggested for Small Street, Bonnycastle Street and proposed "Street A" as shown in Exhibit 11 of the report (May 28, 2009) from the General Manager, Toronto Transit Commission.

 

11.       The East Bayfront Transit EA report and Environmental Study Report provide for an additional traffic control signal at the centre driveway of 95 Queens Quay East, the Redpath Sugar Ltd. site, under the following conditions:

 

             i.         the signal will operate under complete transit pre-emptive control;

 

ii.          the signal will operate independent of, and not be coordinated with any of the adjacent or nearby traffic control signals;

 

iii.         the intersection at this location will not provide north-south pedestrian crossing facilities;

 

             iv.        the signal will be removed if the sugar processing and storage plant at 95 Queens Quay East ceases to exist at this location; and

           

             v.        the impact of the signal on transit operations will be formally assessed by TTC and Transportation Services staff, in consultation with Red Path Sugar, at five year intervals commencing in 2015 as East Bayfront and the Port Lands are developed, with mitigation measures, including the possible removal of the signal, being put in place as needed to ensure effective delivery of rapid transit service to these areas.

 

12.       Any future proposals to install additional signals on Queens Quay East beyond those identified in Part 11 above and in the Queens Quay Revitalization and East Bayfront Transit EA reports, between Parliament and Bathurst Streets, and which would result in vehicles and/or pedestrian crossings over the transit right-of-way, be supported by an independent technical audit completed to the satisfaction of the Deputy City Manager responsible for Transportation Services and Waterfront Revitalization and the Chief General Manager of the Toronto Transit Commission, to ensure that such signals can be installed in a manner that allows safe traffic operations and does not detrimentally impact light rail transit operations.

 

13.       City Council direct that the truck-movement control gate required for the eastern, egress‑only, access from Redpath Sugar, be owned and operated by the TTC to ensure that priority for streetcar operations is maintained to optimal design.

 

14.       City Council request the Waterfront Project Director and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with Waterfront Toronto, the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the Harbourfront Centre, to re-examine the current parks designation to determine the viability of broadening the land-use permissions for this property to included mixed-use permission and respond to waterfront parking needs in conjunction with the upcoming Environmental Assessment for a potential north-south road west of Rees Street.

 

15.       City Council authorize and direct the appropriate City officials take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

a.         advise counsel for the Airport Taxis that the City agrees that O.Reg. 288/09 precludes the City from requiring that the Airport Taxis comply with the City’s licensing by-law if they are only picking up passengers in the City for transportation to the Airport, and to no other destination, and requesting that they file a formal notice of abandonment of their court application to quash By-law 1425-2007.

2.      City Council, with respect to the court application brought by the Airport Limousine Operators Association (the “Airport Limos”), direct the City Solicitor to:

The balance of Confidential Attachment 1 remains confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, as it contains advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege.

City Council on September 30 and October 1, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council amend Zoning By-law No. 7625 substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 5 to the report (May 26, 2009) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

 

2.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

 

3.         Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the owner to enter into a Section 37 Agreement to secure $14,300.00 payable to the City and indexed to the Statistics Canada Construction Price Index for Toronto to be used for improvements to playground equipment in Rajah Park, and/or for the addition of playground equipment to be installed on a parkette on the north side of Stadacona Drive if the City  is able to secure these lands from the Province.

 

4.         Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the owner to:

 

i.          enter into a Site Plan Agreement under Section 41(16) of the Planning Act and Section 114 of the City of Toronto Act; and

 6.        City Council direct that the funds from the park dedication shall be used to establish a parkette and playground on vacant land currently owned by the Province of Ontario on the north side of Stadacona Drive or alternatively applied to the development of Rajah Park if the City of Toronto is unable to secure the Provincial land on Stadacona Drive.
