An original Zoning By-law Amendment application for 4195 and 4221 Dundas Street West, and 556 - 564 Prince Edward Drive North was submitted to the City in March, 2016, and was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal on May 13, 2022. A subsequent Official Plan Amendment application was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal on September 26. 2022, with both appeals citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the applications within the time period prescribed under the Planning Act. A three-week hearing is scheduled to comments on October 28, 2024. On April 21, 2023, with prejudice plans for a revised development proposal for a larger development of the site were submitted to the City for two mixed-use 14-storey towers on a six-storey base building, two nine-storey mid-rise residential buildings, and 19 townhouse units within three townhouse blocks (the "April 2023 Plans"). The April 2023 Plans were the subject of an Appeal Report at City Council at its meeting on October 11 and 12, 2023, and the City Solicitor and appropriate staff were directed by City Council to attend at the Ontario Land Tribunal to oppose the applications. The City Solicitor requires further directions on t…

On September 28, 2023, House of Compassion, a non-profit housing provider, submitted a minor variance application (A0862/23TEY) proposing to build a laneway suite as an expansion of a residential care home use for their property at 169, 171, and 171½ Shaw Street. On November 29, 2023, the Committee of Adjustment approved the application. On May 10, 2024, my office shared an inquiry from House of Compassion with City Planning, providing some suggestions following their above-noted Committee of Adjustment application. The inquiry requested that staff investigate the possibility of amending the Zoning By-law to provide as-of-right permissions for other residential uses in laneway suites and/or garden suites including multi-tenant houses, group homes/residential care homes, multiplexes and co-living.

The Housing Now Initiative is a signature affordable housing program in Toronto and across Canada. It is also a key housing supply program to support the City's HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, Housing Action Plan 2022-2026, and City of Toronto’s Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes report. Through the Housing Now Initiative, City-owned lands are leveraged for the purpose of creating new mixed-use, mixed-income communities with maximized affordable housing outcomes. To-date, the City has identified 22 sites and committed substantial land value, capital funding and financial incentives to the program, making it one of the most significant municipal financial investments in housing underway today. There are also 4 additional pipeline sites that have been identified for pr-development due-diligence. The site at 777 Victoria Park Avenue was among the original sites included in the program. Like many of the Housing Now Sites, 777 Victoria Park Avenue experienced project slow downs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented escalation in construction costs, changes to federal and provincial housing policy, a…

On June 16, 2024, a man fell from the Leaside Bridge and landed on an oncoming vehicle on the Don Valley Parkway resulting in a tragic accident, a passenger and the person who fell both succumbed to their injuries. The incident is currently under investigation by Toronto Police Service. Two lives were lost during this event that could have been mitigated by a protective barrier or railing along the bridge. Sadly, there are records of several similar suicide cases that have taken place at this bridge. In 2003, the City of Toronto originally erected barriers along the Bloor Viaduct, an unfortunately common site for suicide attempts. This action proved to be highly effective at discouraging and preventing people from jumping off the Bloor Viaduct. A study published in 2017 by Toronto Sunnybrook Hospital stated that between 2004 – 2014, only 1 person died after managing to circumvent the Bloor Viaduct barrier. In 2016, Toronto City Council adopted item MM18.4, which requested “the City Manager, in collaboration with the Medical Officer of Health, the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Toronto Police Services Board and mental health experts, to explore the effect…
