Since its establishment in 2001, Yonge-Dundas Square has established itself as a prominent destination in our downtown core. Over time, significant improvements have been made to the surrounding vicinity, resulting in a substantial increase in pedestrian activity, with millions of visitors passing through each year. Public spaces and squares in Toronto play a pivotal role in our city, bringing communities together for various occasions of joy, celebration, solidarity, sorrow, and reflection. These events and gatherings take place across the city, encompassing locations like Nathan Phillips Square, Mel Lastman Square, and Albert Campbell Square. Yonge-Dundas Square, as the vibrant heart of our downtown, is no exception to this phenomenon. Given that Yonge-Dundas Square has maintained its current form for over two decades and in light of our city's ongoing recovery efforts from the impacts of COVID-19, it is essential for our public spaces to adapt to the evolving needs of our communities, stimulate economic development, and facilitate Toronto's future growth. Consequently, conducting a thorough review of the governance and operations of Yonge-Dundas Square is a critical step toward…

In 1984, the owner of 276 Lauder Avenue (the "Property"), believing that they had the full ownership of a municipally-owned parcel of land to the rear of the Property (the “Municipal Lands”), proceeded to build a double car garage on the Municipal Lands with the knowledge and approval of the then Borough of York. Borough Officials did not notify the owner that the Municipal Lands were acquired by The Corporation of the Borough of York through a municipal tax sale in 1974. The garage has been in place for the last 38 years and was not identified as having been erected on City-owned lands until the owner listed 276 Lauder Avenue for sale on the open market and learned that the Municipal Lands were not a part of the Property. In accordance with the City’s Real Estate Disposal By-law 814-2007, the Municipal Lands were declared surplus on October 5, 2022 by DAF 2022-221 with the intended manner of disposal, to invite an offer to purchase from the owner of the Property. Terms of the agreement have been finalized. The major terms and conditions of the transaction are considered to be fair, reasonable, and reflective of market value. The sale of the Municipal Lands to th…

The policy led planning system under which municipalities within the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) Area have operated since 2006 has experienced numerous changes over the last 5 years requiring the City to continuously review, examine and adapt our planning policies and practices. On April 6, 2023 as part of Bill 97, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing introduced a draft Provincial Planning Statement that is intended to replace the current Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Some policies of the Growth Plan are intended to be incorporated into the new Provincial Planning Statement and the Growth Plan is proposed to be repealed. The proposed repeal of the Growth Plan now treats the region generally the same as any other part of the Province despite it being home to 70% of Ontarians. While some Growth Plan policies are found in the proposed Provincial Planning Statement, virtually all the foundational ones have been eliminated and the overall policy intent of establishing a regional plan to lay out and coordinate planning, resource and infrastructure management efforts has been abandoned. Absent a comprehensive and coordinated…

Temporary signs are signs that are not permanently installed or affixed to the ground or any structure or building, and are regulated by Article III of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 693, Signs (“Temporary Signs By-law”). This report proposes amendments to modernize the By-law to improve enforcement, respond to the use of new sign types in Toronto, and increase the By-law's overall readability. Election Signs, Third-Party Signs, Posters, Designation Signage on Public Highways, Neighbourhood and Business Area Identification Signs, and signs regulated under the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 694, Signs, General were not part of this review. This report recommends improving the pedestrian clearway by updating placement requirements for A-frame and Portable signs. It is proposed that these signs be placed curb-side and in-line with other street furniture, where possible. The existing 2.1 metre pedestrian clearway requirement would be maintained and expanded to 2.5 metres on specified Downtown Toronto streets to align with Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafes, Parklets and Marketing Displays. These changes are intended to improve the line-of-travel for pedestr…

Many Toronto residents are protesting being forced to view graphic anti-abortion images, in their homes, and in public spaces, without their consent. Activists have been putting open flyers with such images into residents’ mail boxes in communities across Canada. These flyers cause significant harm and distress, especially to young children and to people who have had miscarriages or abortions. Being forced to view these flyers in their homes violates their rights to privacy and to conscience. To protect residents from these harms, while protecting freedom of expression, municipalities such as London, Ontario, and Calgary have adopted by-laws requiring that graphic flyers showing fetuses be enclosed in envelopes with a warning and identifying information. St. Catharines’ Council has instructed staff to prepare such a by-law. London, Ontario was the first city in Canada to adopt such a by-law, and it has successfully reduced the number of abusive graphic flyers. Toronto has authority to pass a similar by-law here. The City should also regulate graphic, disturbing images in public spaces and the public right of way. Such regulation is a longstanding request of City Counci…
