  • 1571 Sandhurst Circle – Zoning By-Law Amendment Application – Preliminary Report
    REPORT FOR ACTION 1571 Sandhurst Circle – Zoning By-law Amendment Application – Preliminary Report Date: August 24, 2020 To: Scarborough Community Council From: Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District Wards: 23 - Scarborough North Planning Application Number: 20 151730 ESC 23 OZ Current Use(s) on Site: 1-2 storey mall with surface parking and stand-alone drive-thru restaurant. SUMMARY This report provides information and outlines preliminary issues for a rezoning application located at 1571 Sandhurst Circle. The application seeks to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the construction of a multi-phased, mixed-use development to the site at the corner of Finch Avenue East and McCowan Road. The proposed redevelopment would retain the existing mall and introduce residential and retail uses within new buildings to be constructed in the surrounding surface parking area. Six towers ranging from 23-38 storeys along the Finch Avenue East and McCowan Road frontages. An additional three stand-alone buildings with heights up to 14 storeys are proposed to the northern end of the site. The new buildings would include 2859 units along with 10,473 square metres of retail and office uses. The application will be evaluated in the context of the Woodside Square Planning Review. This process, initiated and lead by the City, is being undertaken to evaluate the proposed new uses for the site and develop a planning framework to guide any future development. Staff are reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. It is recommended that staff proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.

  • Bus Lane Implementation Plan
    Attachment 1 EX15.1a For Action Bus Lane Implementation Plan Date: July 14, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Strategy & Customer Officer Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the TTC is a vital service in Toronto providing transportation to essential destinations including employment, healthcare, groceries and pharmacies. Although TTC ridership may be down to 22% of pre-pandemic levels, the TTC continues to serve hundreds of thousands of customer-trips on a daily basis. We also have learned through this pandemic, that bus customers have relied on our services the most - 36% of the customers that used buses prior to COVID-19 are still using the system as compared to 19% of subway customers, as of the week ending June 26. As the city and GTHA re-opens and recovery begins, it is expected that people who have the resources and option to, will return to private vehicles, taxis or private transportation companies (PTCs) more quickly than to transit in order to maintain physical distance from others. The TTC’s surface transit network plays a critical role in moving people around Toronto and we must enhance its attractiveness to ensure it continues to provide a viable alternative to the automobile. A key initiative to achieve this is the implementation of bus transit lanes, which will provide customers with a safe, reliable and fast service. The TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook identified a 20-point action plan including Action 4.1 Explore Bus Transit Lanes. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop the following prioritization and implementation plan for the five corridors identified in the Plan.
