In November 2024, City Council approved Item 2024.CC23.1, Respecting Local Democracy and Cities, which included the following direction regarding the Ontario Government’s Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, which is now law: 1. City Council express its opposition to the proposed amendments to Part XII of the Highway Traffic Act contained in Bill 212, and any related proposed regulations, both of which contradict the stated purpose of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, to allow the City to determine what is in the public interest of the City. 2. City Council request the Province to work collaboratively with cities to address congestion and road safety, and accordingly withdraw the proposed amendments to Part XII of the Highway Traffic Act contained in Bill 212. This motion reiterates the importance of local decision making and municipal authority over local road design, and expresses the concern over the Ontario Government’s intention to intervene in decisions that can impact the safety and wellbeing of all road users. Reason for Urgency: Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025 is currently at Second Reading at the Ontario Legislature, and the Onta…

In response to challenges experienced with winter maintenance operations during the February 2025 major snow events, City Council directed the City Manager to review the City’s Winter Maintenance Program, identify opportunities for improvement, and undertake a forensic audit of the procurement for the existing winter maintenance contracts. Municipal VU Consulting Inc. (MVU) was engaged to conduct the winter maintenance program review, and the Internal Audit Division was tasked with the procurement review. The interim results of both reviews were reported to City Council at its July 23 and 24, 2025 meeting, where Council directed the City Manager to continue working with MVU to develop a Major Snow Event Response Plan with a city-wide all hands on deck emergency approach, refine other opportunities for improvement, and to engage a third party to conduct a forensic audit on the winter maintenance procurement given the fraud risk identified by the Internal Audit Division. MVU’s 2025 Winter Storm Response and Winter Maintenance Program Review identified 32 opportunities for improvement, which have since been refined into 11 recommendations for immediate, mid-term and long-…

On October 23, 2025, the provincial government introduced Bill 60: Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, which includes concerning changes to tenancy rights and eviction protections. This legislation has sweeping consequences for Toronto renters and threatens to deepen the homelessness crisis in our city. It is a good sign that the province has backed away from their initial proposal to also look at changing or ending “security of tenure” after outcries and organizing from tenants across the province. For the sake of Torontonians, we need to make sure this isn’t contemplated again in the future. Earlier this year, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario reported that over 80,000 people are experiencing homelessness across our province in 2024. In Toronto, the 2024 Street Needs Assessment showed significant increases in the number of people experiencing homelessness since 2018, with demand for City shelter and housing services at a record high. Critically, 42% of people surveyed in the Street Needs Assessment said that information about their legal rights as tenants could have prevented their loss of housing. If the provincial government’s proposals to…

In Toronto Public Health's Our Health, Our City: A Mental Health, Substance Use, Harm Reduction and Treatment Strategy for Toronto, improving access to housing and other social determinants of health is identified as one of seven strategic goals for improving mental health and well-being in our city. Recently tabled provincial legislation, Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, includes significant changes to tenant protections and the rights of renters in Ontario. The proposed provincial changes could lead to more evictions and housing instability for renters. Toronto Public Health has previously identified housing as a key social determinant of health, and less stability for renters could threaten our progress on improving key health indicators. The province has said they are stepping back from earlier proposals to change security of tenure and rent control, because "now is not the time". It is important we understand the potential health impacts of those proposals, so that we can ensure that it is never the time for those changes. This letter asks the Medical Officer of Health to review Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, and provincial proposals to c…

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Birchmount Road, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Birchmount Road and Rolark Drive/Private Access to 1845 Birchmount Road. The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken. As a result of the intersection geometry and proposed signal phasing, it will be necessary to amend various traffic regulations. The traffic control signals will be partially funded by the proponent of the adjacent development.
