Staff Report
STAFF REPORT August 20, 2004 To: Community Services Committee From: Commissioner of Community and Neighbourhood Services Subject: Final Update on 2002/03 Ontario Works (OW) Incentive Fund Purpose: The purpose of this report is to update City Council on the implementation and results of the 55 projects funded by the one-time provincial incentive funds received by Toronto Social Services (TSS) in 2001 for exceeding Ontario Works (OW) placement targets. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no net impacts on the 2004 budget. All Ontario Works Incentive projects are funded from one-time 100 percent provincial funds. Recommendations: It is recommended that this report be received for information. Background: At its meeting of May 21, 22 and 23, 2002, Council approved a report, titled “Allocation of Ontario Works Targets Incentive Funds,” which recommended the expenditure of $5.1 million to fund 55 projects. Ontario Works Incentive Funds were offered by the Province to increase the number of clients participating in the Community Participation component of Ontario Works. Ministry of Community and Social Services guidelines stipulate that the funds must be used to meet local human service needs and that they cannot accrue as savings, be used to address municipal budget pressures, or offset costs related to regular program expenses. The 55 funded projects addressed the needs of at-risk youth populations, and related food and hunger and safety issues in disadvantaged communities. - 2 - At its meeting of January 27, 28 and 29, 2004, Council adopted a report, titled “2002/03 Ontario Works (OW) Incentive Fund,” which recommended that up to nine of the 55 projects funded be extended to June 2004.

Comprehensive Neighbourhood Streets Plan – Wallace Emerson Area (Ward 9)
November 9th, 2020 Chair and Members of Toronto and East York Community Council 100 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Re: Comprehensive Neighbourhood Streets Plan – Wallace Emerson Area (Ward 9) Dear Chair and Members: I am writing to seek your support on this request for a comprehensive plan for neighbourhood streets in the Wallace Emerson Area - bounded by Dufferin Avenue, Dupont Street, Lansdowne Avenue and Croatia Street. Last year a group of residents formed the Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee, and along with my office and the support of the City's Traffic Operations staff, the Committee prepared and presented a traffic plan for their neighbourhood including the introduction of traffic calming measures. Following a review of a variety of proposals, they presented changes they would like to see such as staggered parking, installation of planters, speed bumps, speed humps, painted stop bars, pedestrian crossing lines, and changes in road direction. The resulting Traffic Management Plan for the Wallace- Emerson Area was endorsed in principle by Toronto and East York Community Council on March 12, 2020 (2020.TE14.46) Since that Community Council decision, several factors have added new complexity to the area: With the implementation of the Bloor Bike Lanes, further restrictions were imposed on Bloor Street West, prohibiting motorists from making turns, causing traffic to re-direct to residential streets. The Wallace Emerson Traffic Management Committee has indicated they would like to implement a No Left Turn prohibition on Dufferin Street at Wallace Avenue, and a No-Through Traffic Sign on Wallace Avenue at Lansdowne Avenue, both to be in effect during peak hours.

Like the previous I am honoured to hold the prestigious office of OALA President issues, Ground includes articles that are theoretical and challenging and look forward to serving the membership. The president’s job while providing practical information that is relevant to our practice is typically a busy one; however, I am comforted by the knowledge in Ontario. that I am surrounded by extremely talented and dedicated coun - cillors who are there to help. On behalf of Council, I extend a One concern I have is that the images don't seem to be as crisp as heartfelt thanks to Arnis Budrevics for his successful tenure as they could or should be. Since our profession is quite visually orient - president for the past two years. ed, can the images in Ground be printed with greater clarity without compromising any sustainability objectives you might have? The OALA held its 41st Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2009 at the Grand Hotel in Toronto. This was another successful event Finally, congratulations on the CSLA award that Ground received and included presentations of the OALA Awards and the CSLA this year. The award is well-deserved acknowledgement of your Regional Awards of Excellence that are featured in this issue of great work and recognizes the passion and commitment of the Ground .
