Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in Toronto. Its courts are in high demand, with hundreds now across our city. In 2023, City Council directed a report back as part of the reassessment of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan a review of the need for pickleball provision across the City, this work is underway. Since this direction, other groups, including the City of Ottawa and British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association have developed their own pickleball strategies which have included noise mitigation efforts, due to the loud and frequent sound of the hard plastic ball hitting a solid paddle. As pickleball popularity grows, City Councillors offices are receiving more frequent complaints related to noise from these courts. To address these concerns holistically, implementation of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan’s recommendations on Pickleball should include considerations for noise impacts generated by this activity.

This report recommends that City Council refuse the proposal to erect a structure on and adjacent to the property at 2 Whitney Avenue under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject site is a B-rated property located in the North Rosedale Heritage Conservation District. The applicant is seeking retro-active approval for the retention and completion of a partially constructed masonry wall, a structure that was erected without a heritage permit. All public and private lands within the boundaries of a heritage conservation district are designated under Part 5 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proposed wall, a substantial portion of which was built prior to the owner of 2 Whitney Avenue stopping work at the City's request, does not comply with the North Rosedale Heritage Conservation District Plan, the Official Plan or the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. As such, staff recommend that this application be refused.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bathurst Street, City Council approval of this report is required. The focus of this report is Bathurst Street, from Eglinton Avenue West to Bathurst Station North Exit. The recommended changes, which consist of extensions to No Stopping restrictions on the east side of Bathurst Street in the afternoon and weekend, as well as changes to some No Left-Turn restrictions, are intended to clear parking in the curb lane and prohibit turning vehicles from blocking buses and general traffic at intersections, for periods where the 7 Bathurst service is significantly impacted by congestion. An analysis of the TTC's 7 Bathurst operations supports the recommendations in this report. The proposed extended traffic regulations are intended to improve the reliability of the afternoon bus route and reduce traffic congestion in the afternoon outside of peak hours. Conditions will be monitored following implementation, to determine whether the changes have the intended effect, and whether any further adjustments are required. In addition, the TTC is currently undertaking a Bunching and Gapping study to improve the service reliabil…

Environment, Climate and Forestry is committed to the continued implementation of tree maintenance service improvements as recommended by the Auditor General in their report entitled "Getting to the Root of the Issues: A Follow Up to the 2019 Tree Maintenance Services Audit". Improvements have been focused on strengthening processes and increasing productivity and service quality to drive a more effective and efficient tree maintenance operation. Progress to date includes improved contract language and management practices, increased oversight of Urban Forestry Operations, and timely responses to complaints. In line with these improvements, Environment, Climate and Forestry continues to focus on the quality of its tree maintenance services through a multi-faceted review of operational practices. As reported to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee in the Tree Maintenance Review Update (2024), an external review was conducted in 2023 by Ernst and Young with a focus on service quality enhancements. Ernst and Young recommended a pilot project to evaluate service quality improvements and cost reductions achievable through insourcing of tree maintenance services. In response to…

Electric micromobility options have become more prevalent as they offer affordable, sustainable alternatives to personal vehicles, help to address first- and last-mile gaps, reduce congestion, and improve accessibility. While micromobility presents scalable solutions to urban challenges such as climate change, air quality and traffic congestion, its growing use also introduces safety risks, particularly for vulnerable road users including the rider and pedestrians such as seniors, children and people living with disabilities. Coordinated efforts in public awareness, infrastructure review and policy development are needed to ensure safe and equitable integration. In 2024, Transportation Services released Toronto’s Micromobility Strategy, establishing key policy goals and evaluation criteria to guide the integration of emerging micromobility options. This report provides an update as requested by Council (2024.IE13.1) on actions taken to enhance safety for micromobility users and pedestrians, including progress on a public education campaign, the formation of a dedicated working group and next steps to understand the impact of current behaviours and to support behaviour change…
