This report provides a response to City Council’s direction to report on improved active transportation access to Toronto Island, including possibilities for a fixed link across the Eastern Gap. This report also responds to other directives related to moving visitors to and from Toronto Island Park, including opportunities to maximize the service of private water taxi operators and the exploration of a relief ferry vessel. The Toronto Island Park is a signature destination for residents and tourists, with over 1.5 million visitors taking the City’s ferries every year and approximately 485,000 trips taken by water taxi. On peak weekends and holidays in July and August, Toronto Island Park sees almost 18,000 visitors per day. In July 2024, Council approved the Toronto Island Master Plan (TIMP) which identified improved access to Toronto Island as a priority, and discussed opportunities for reducing economic barriers for accessing the island and expanding affordable programming and rentals park-wide. Since the TIMP was adopted, Council has provided staff with a number of directions related to access. Staff have been directed to undertake discussions with private water tax…

City Council has considered the issue of two-stroke engine use periodically over the past 25 years. Most recently, in July 2023 (2023.IE5.1), City staff brought forward a report that identified the potential negative impacts of two-stroke engine equipment on climate, health and noise and found that individually these impacts did not provide sufficient rationale for action to be taken to ban the use of two-stroke engines. Staff identified two potential options to proceed and City Council chose to express its support for a ban on the use of gas-powered two-stroke engine equipment, such as leaf blowers and hedge trimmers, as a precaution against the cumulative adverse impacts to human health and climate from noise and air pollution. Staff were directed to identify the resources required to develop and implement a ban on use of two-stroke engine equipment and report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee. This report responds to Council's direction and also incorporates information on actions that need to be undertaken by the City to show leadership in the transition towards zero-emission outdoor power equipment. The approach to implementing a ban and next steps outlined…

In December 2021, City Council allocated $2.912 million from the Toronto Water Capital Reserve (Resolution EX28.6) to the Scarborough Bluffs West (SBW) Project. The SBW study (the Project) will explore the enhancement and protection of sensitive shoreline and natural areas and opportunities for improved waterfront experience and access between the Eastern Beaches (Silver Birch Avenue) and Bluffer’s Park along Lake Ontario. City Council also requested Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to include the Project as part of the 2022 Budget process and directed the City Manager to enter into an agreement with TRCA to complete the Project. The Project commenced on November 2, 2023 and following completion of several rounds of consultation through 2024, the Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) was released for public comment and agency review in July 2024. In fall 2024, after reviewing the Draft ToR, the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) contacted the Project team to confirm whether all future design options would meet the recently updated 2024 Environmental Assessment regulations. These new rules require at least 1 km of altered shoreline and 4 hectares…

As TTC operates transit service on Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) and Ellesmere Road, City Council approval of this report is required. At the direction of City Council, following the implementation of Transit Priority Measures to Support Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Bus Replacement in 2023, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has continued to advance the design for the conversion of the former SRT right-of-way (ROW) between Kennedy Station and Ellesmere Station, into a Scarborough Busway. To support the implementation of the future Busway, Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the TTC, to implement changes to various roadways in proximity to the proposed Busway. The proposal includes: - The installation of a traffic signal at the new intersection of Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) and the future Scarborough Busway; - A road alteration to widen the section of Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) in the immediate proximity of the existing TTC Line 2 Kennedy Station, in order to provide priority bus lanes between Kennedy Station and the future Scarborough Busway; and - The extension of the existing Ellesmere Road bus lanes further we…

In December 2022, City Council directed staff to develop a post-secondary housing strategy in partnership with post-secondary institutions aimed at increasing the availability of student housing. The proposed Academic Housing Strategy (Strategy) provides a snapshot of housing needs of post-secondary students in Toronto and outlines a framework for action by the City, other orders of government, and academic institutions to address their immediate and longer-term housing needs. The delivery of this Strategy is also a City commitment through the federal Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). Toronto’s post-secondary institutions are leading contributors to the City’s economy and important sources of job creation, skills training, and research and innovation. They are critical in maintaining a talent pipeline that supports the economic growth of the city and advancing student success and well-being is a key part of maintaining that pipeline. This is at the core of their missions, as academic institutions continue to advance educational priorities for students within their regulatory and financial capacity. In Toronto, it is estimated that over 350,000 students are enrolled in pu…
