Managing congestion is a top priority for the City of Toronto (the “City”). Like many large and thriving urban centres, Toronto experiences congestion as demand for road space exceeds available capacity. In Toronto, this challenge has been exacerbated by a history of car-oriented land use planning; transit expansion that has not kept pace with growth; extensive state-of-good-repair and growth-related capital work; rapid population growth; and a substantial increase in development activity. Since 2013, the City has maintained a Congestion Management Plan, under which it has advanced measures to reduce and manage congestion. In 2025 City Council approved the creation of Toronto’s first Chief Congestion Officer. This new senior role has a mandate to reduce and mitigate congestion in the city by providing strategic advice and guidance to the City’s senior leadership, Mayor and City Council, working across divisions to coordinate city actions, and engaging as the primary liaison with external partners on congestion-related matters. The Chief Congestion Officer commenced duties on January 5, 2026. This report provides the initial observations of the Chief Congest…

The City of Toronto is committed to ensuring fair and accessible services for all residents, regardless of race, ancestry, place of origin, disability, citizenship, creed, gender identity, sexual orientation, family or marital status, socioeconomic status, or other protected grounds. Despite these commitments, many equity-deserving communities continue to identify gaps in access and outcomes. These gaps may be addressed, in part, through increased awareness of existing City programs and services, improved coordination and targeted investments. Strengthening the City’s capacity to assess inequities and enahnce inclusive program delivery are important steps towards eliminating discrimination and ensuring all Torontonians benefit from City initiatives.

The Provincial Government has introduced legislation to take City of Toronto land on Toronto Island and at Bathurst and Queen’s Quay. At the March Council Meeting, City Council overwhelmingly voted to oppose any unilateral expropriation of City land by the Government of Ontario. Further, we voted to include Toronto residents and their democratically elected municipal government in all significant decisions impacting Toronto, including decisions about the uses and future of the Toronto waterfront. Through their legislation today, the Government of Ontario has chosen to ignore the decisions of Toronto’s government. Worse, the Provincial Government is going to take parkland and pave it at Little Norway Park, in a neighbourhood that needs more precious green space and public space, not less. We need to send a clear message to the Provincial Government that this is not acceptable to us as a municipal government. Nor is it acceptable to the residents of waterfront neighbourhoods, or any resident of Toronto, as they learn there is nothing stopping the Provincial Government from taking parks, roads, public spaces or anything they decide they want. To date, no one has seen conc…

Barbara Hall Park is a critical urban green space in the Church-Wellesley Village, home to two memorials of profound importance: the AIDS Memorial and the Trans Memorial. The park has experienced persistent health and safety concerns, significantly intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and a rise in opioid-related incidents. These issues, particularly pronounced during overnight hours, include vandalism, violence and lateral violence, and maintenance challenges – especially around the Memorials which are in secluded areas in the park. These memorials are central to the 2SLGBTQ+ community and are located in sections of the park that make them particularly vulnerable to damage and misuse. In response to ongoing issues, the City of Toronto established the Barbara Hall Park Response Team, comprised of municipal staff, local agencies, and community partners, to pursue sustainable solutions. This work aligns with the Downtown East Action Plan (adopted July 24, 2024, 2024.EC14.8), which emphasizes the need to balance public safety with support for community members and businesses. Current mitigation measures include: a. Routine Maintenance: is serviced for litter and maintenance thr…

Work on the Yonge North Subway Extension is now underway, with key design and alignment decisions actively advancing. At the same time, the City of Toronto is progressing the North York Centre Secondary Plan (Phase 3), which contemplates the addition of 100,000 new residents in the area. This growth builds on the significant intensification already planned under the Yonge North Secondary Plan. Together, these plans confirm that the Yonge Street corridor between Finch and Steeles is one of the most rapidly intensifying urban areas in the Greater Toronto Area. This motion is informed by previous City of Toronto staff analysis and Council direction, including the December 2023 “ Cummer Station – Supplemental Report ” (Background File 241560), which assessed the inclusion of Cummer Station within the Yonge North Subway Extension and confirmed the technical and planning implications of the current alignment. The current alignment of the Yonge North Subway Extension excludes a station at Cummer Avenue. This omission results in a notably long station spacing of approximately 2 km between Finch and Steeles, which is atypical for a high-density urban context and inconsist…
