The Cycling Network Plan, most recently updated and endorsed by Toronto City Council in December 2021, seeks to build on the existing network of cycling routes to Connect gaps in the current network, Grow the network into new parts of the city, and Renew existing parts of the network to improve safety. This report provides a status update for the 2022 - 2024 Near-Term Implementation Program and seeks City Council endorsement of the 2025 - 2027 Near-Term Implementation Program as a roadmap for the delivery of new and renewed cycling infrastructure in Toronto for the next three years. The Cycling Network Plan consists of three components: - a Vision for the Long-Term Cycling Network; - a Network of Major City-Wide Cycling Routes; and, - a Three Year Near-Term Implementation Program. The Plan components, objectives and indicators align with and support other City policies and initiatives including the Official Plan, TransformTO Net Zero Strategy, Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, RapidTO Surface Transit Network Plan, and the Congestion Management Plan. A successful city requires a transportation system that is safe for people of all ages and abilities. Research and experience across Nort…

Last year, the Provincial Government announced their intention to move the Ontario Science Centre to a much smaller location at Ontario Place. This announcement was done without consultation with residents of Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park who rely on the Centre for employment and education opportunities. The Science Centre is also part of a burgeoning cultural district that includes the Aga Khan Museum. The cultural attraction is an important economic driver for the local community as it brings visitors from across the city and around the world to Don Mills and Eglinton. It would be a real blow to this community to lose the Science Centre just as the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown’s “Science Centre” station is about to make the attraction more accessible to the entire city. So far, over 21,500 letters regarding the importance of the Science Centre have been sent to Premier Ford through the Save Ontario Science Centre campaign. The City of Toronto has an obligation to explore all possible means to keep the Science Centre at its current location. In July 2023, MM8.4 requested City Staff to explore avenues to have the Province continue operating the site Don Mi…

The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the Modular Housing Initiative Phase 2, and to request Council authority to enable City Divisions to restart and complete the projects at 175 Cummer Ave., and 39 Dundalk Dr., respectively, by approving Purchase Order Amendments for both projects to ensure funding is in place to complete required work. In April 2020, as an urgent response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its disproportionate impact on people experiencing homelessness, the City launched the Modular Housing Initiative to rapidly create at least 250 new rent-geared-to-income and supportive homes using modular construction. Four of five projects have since been tenanted, providing a safe, affordable place to call home for over 200 residents formerly experiencing homelessness, with wrap-around support services to help them maintain their housing and improve their health and well-being. The project at 175 Cummer Avenue was announced in Spring 2021 as part of Phase Two of the Modular Housing Initiative, along with 540 Cedarvale Ave. and 39 Dundalk Dr. While Cedarvale is complete and Dundalk is nearing completion with only landscaping and a review of costs escalations remai…

In February 2024, Estella Wheeler, a teacher at the Africentric Alternative School tragically fell victim to domestic violence. Mrs. Wheeler was beloved by her family, students, colleagues, and the local community. She had an excellent relationship with students keeping their interests at heart, inspiring them, and always being available to support them with their studies. Since immigrating to Canada in 2008, Mrs. Wheeler taught at several Toronto District School Board schools including Brookview Middle School, Smithfield Middle School, Rockford Public School, Downsview Public School, and a 7-year tenure at the Africentric Alternative School. An initiative was undertaken by the students and teachers at the Africentric Alternative School to request that an existing or planned community garden be named after Estella Wheeler in honour of her legacy and passion for gardening and plants. A petition on their behalf with over 800 signatures has been presented to Councillor Pasternak. A community garden could feasibly be developed in Brockwell Park behind the Africentric Alternative School. There are two naming suggestions where a community garden is already located, which are the Well Wa…

There has been a troubling increase in gun violence in Toronto and it is deeply impacting neighbourhoods in Ward 1 and other communities around the city. The City, through the SafeTO Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan, is undertaking several initiatives aimed at bringing together institutional partners, community organizations and residents to collectively address these issues. Gun violence reduction requires leveraging investments, tools and mandates across sectors and governments and working with communities to enhance violence prevention, intervention, response and recovery. The City of Toronto is working with community partners and other levels of government to steward integration of actions and services across sectors using a trauma informed public health approach. There is more work to be done to ensure we address this challenge. In the upcoming SafeTO update report, City staff should include an update on youth violence prevention and intervention efforts in addition to exploring improved outreach mechanisms.

In 2021, City Council adopted a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions community-wide by 2040, and an interim target for 2030, through the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy. The Independent Electricity System Operator is developing an Integrated Regional Resource Plan for the electricity system in the Toronto Area. The City has identified the need for all levels of government and utilities to work toward developing an aligned, low-carbon electricity system to enable the City of Toronto to meet its climate goals. The City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro continue to actively engage with the Independent Electricity System Operator as part of the Integrated Regional Resource Plan development process. The City of Toronto’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy indicates that meeting our climate goals and reaping the benefits to health, equity, prosperity and resilience, is heavily dependent on the availability of affordable, reliable low-carbon electricity ( 2021.IE26.16 ). The City identified the need for all parties to work together to transition Ontario’s electricity system away from natural gas to a resilient system focused on low-carbon energy sources, distributed local renewabl…
