This motion will give the City Solicitor the authority to appeal the Committee of Adjustment’s decision approving the minor variance application at 42 Donalda Crescent (Application No. A0109/25SC) (the “Application”); to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body to oppose the development of the Application; to retain outside consultants as necessary; and to negotiate a settlement of the appeal. The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment, Scarborough District (the “Committee”) requesting variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 relating to the height and lot coverage of an ancillary building containing a garden suite in order to construct a new one-storey rear yard garden suite. In a report from the Director of Community Planning, Scarborough District dated July 2, 2025, Community Planning staff recommended approval of the Application subject to conditions (the Staff Report is attached as Attachment 1). Urban Forestry provided a report dated July 2, 2025 with one condition (the Urban Forestry Memorandum is attached as Attachment 2). On July 15, 2025, the Committee approved the Application (the “Decision”) subject to conditions.…

Road safety is of vital importance to the City of Toronto. Our Vision Zero strategy includes a number of measures to achieve the goal of reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries. One such tool is Automated Speed Enforcement technology. When Automated Speed Enforcement works well, it encourages drivers to be conscious of their speed. At the same time a driver must have the right to due process when appealing a ticket. The appeal process must be efficient and easy to navigate. However, many barriers can be faced during the process of appealing an Automated Speed Enforcement ticket. Residents have reported numerous issues: the website does not recognize their ticket number; tickets were sent out with outdated email addresses, the unstable phone line repeatedly dropped calls after 2 hours on hold. This is an overall lack of communication on the status of the ticket once the appeal form was submitted. This collection of experienced failures of the appeals process for Automated Speed Enforcement tickets undermines the legitimacy of the entire program. Therefore, I am requesting a full and thorough review of the appeals process for Automated Speed Enforcement tickets.

Rapid, frequent, reliable transit is essential to a livable, affordable, prosperous city. 60 percent of all transit trips in Toronto include surface transit (buses and streetcars). The Toronto Transit Commission Strategic Plan identifies traffic congestion as one of the key obstacles to improving the speed and reliability of surface transit. This includes parked cars. The Toronto Board of Trade has recommended that the price of parking be used to redirect parking away from arterial roads as a key measure to reduce congestion that hampers the movement of people and goods, including transit vehicles (See Breaking Gridlock). Recent consultations on parking and transit on Bathurst have highlighted how parked cars slow surface transit. This impact is exacerbated when on-street parking fees do not fairly represent the value of the public right of way or promote short term parking. Parking fees on arterial roads in Ward 11 with busy surface transit, such as Bathurst Street, should be reviewed. Local traffic rules, such as parking times and turn permissions, should also be reviewed on Bathurst between Bloor and Dupont, to identify local opportunities to make the afternoon northbound Bathu…

In 2018, the City submitted a bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2026. Toronto, along with 15 other cities across the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico, will host the international football (referred to as soccer in North America) tournament. Hosting this Mega Event involves significant funding and involvement from multiple levels of government. The purpose of this project was to examine the City’s governance and cost control measures leading up to and during the execution of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Agreement. It also identifies opportunities for improvement for City Council and management on future Mega and large international events, as well as other City Council decisions requiring significant funding with financial support from multiple levels of government. This report aims to reinforce best practices for City Council and staff to help strengthen governance and guidelines for future Mega Events, as well as to address areas for improvement in hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Toronto.
