This report outlines the analysis, consultation process, and recommended zoning amendments to advance the first phase of work to incorporate low-rise residential lands in Toronto and East York District into Zoning By-law 569-2013 (the "City-wide Zoning By-law). Staff recommend bringing low-rise residential lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law with zoning standards that are consistent with the applicable former municipal zoning by-law, consistent with recent city-wide zoning amendments, and in conformity with the Official Plan. These properties had active zoning by-law amendment or site plan control applications in 2012 and were excluded from the City-wide Zoning By-law through the transition protocol. This study is part of the on-going work to simplify and modernize the City-wide Zoning By-law, and to support consistent application of the City-wide Zoning By-law. Bringing these lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law will remove barriers, ease administration, and enable the creation of more housing as part of the Housing Action Plan. In addition, the recommended zoning by-law amendment will enable properties to take advantage of the removal of parking minimums and permissions for…

This report responds to MM5.3 – Place Names in the Port Lands and EX13.5 - New Island, New Beginnings: Furthering Reconciliation and an Indigenous Cultural Framework for the Port Lands. Over the last year, City staff, in collaboration with MinoKamik Collective and LURA Consulting, facilitated an Indigenous community engagement process to discover, reflect on, and determine Indigenous names for the new island in the Port Lands. The proposed names were lifted up by an Indigenous Advisory Circle (the Circle), comprised of Elders, Knowledge Keepers, language speakers, youth and community members. The process was rooted in Indigenous traditions, teachings and cultural protocols, involving ceremonies, site walks, and deep discussions. The Indigenous Advisory Circle met seven times between April and October 2024. In addition, broader Indigenous communities were engaged at community events, in a survey and in other ways. Circle discussions centered on the area’s history as former marshland, the cultural significance of the land and water, and long-term environmental restoration and stewardship, with a focus on water and native plants. The historical erasure of Indigenous langu…

My office has heard concerns from residents in the Beach Triangle neighborhood about the lack of safe pedestrian crossings along Kingston Road, a major arterial route. Following a successful community petition showing strong support, I am recommending the installation of traffic control signals at Kingston Road and Columbine Avenue. This measure will significantly improve pedestrian safety and ensure safer, more accessible travel for all.

On June 30, 2022 the Scarborough Community Council requested through item 2022.SC33.61 that the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation report on the feasibility of establishing a permanent memorial in Scarborough honouring Grant Faulkner’s memory, such as a parkette in his name. Economic Development and Culture and Parks, Forestry and Recreation worked with Strategic Partnerships, and the local Councillor to consult with the Faulkner Family to identify the proposed park at 320 Markham Road as an appropriate location to commemorate the life and lasting impact of Grant Faulkner. In accordance with the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy, Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff produced and posted a temporary sign at 320 Markham Road advising the local community and park users of the request to name the proposed park.

The City of Toronto has experienced an increase in violent crimes, with many incidents involving individuals released on bail under conditions that may not adequately prevent further offences. Ensuring the safety of Toronto’s residents is a key responsibility of City Council, and collaboration within the justice sector among all orders of government is crucial to maintain the integrity of the justice system. Recent concerns have been raised regarding the risks posed to public safety by repeat offenders and those involved in violent and gun-related crimes. The Criminal Code of Canada guarantees the right to reasonable bail unless just cause for detention is demonstrated, requiring the court to balance the presumption of innocence with the need to protect public safety. Toronto’s police services, along with many other stakeholders across the province, have identified significant challenges in the current bail system, particularly in cases where individuals accused of violent offences are released without adequate oversight or conditions to mitigate public risk. The Federal and Provincial governments have the authority to implement bail policy changes, including stricter…

The Premier of Ontario is proposing to tunnel under Highway 401, a major transportation route used by hundreds of thousands of Ontarians and Torontonians every day as they commute to work, visit family, and partake in other day to day tasks or events. The 401 is one of the busiest and widest highway corridors in the world with over 500,000 cars and trucks using it daily. This proposal for a tunnel is expected to be incredibly costly, with preliminary estimates ranging far above $50 billion. This massive cost does not include the expected impacts on hundreds of thousands of Toronto residents, businesses, and industrial spaces spread across 15 of the City’s wards and hundreds of residential neighbourhoods. A tunnel would be disruptive, costly, and is not guaranteed to fix the congestion woes we are currently facing. Instead, the City of Toronto and other municipalities in the region will be better served by a proven transit and congestion management solution used in over 30 countries for the last 60 years – a reliable high speed rail system. High speed rail will help Toronto and Ontario reach our environmental targets, significantly reduce the travel time between Ontario…
