On June 26, 2023 the City of Toronto held a Mayoral By-Election. The ballot contained 102 candidate names listed onto a single page in three columns. I have heard from numerous residents who have expressed concerns over the number of candidates on the ballot and the confusion and voter frustration that it caused. Some have raised questions about the proportionality of the entry requirements for mayoral candidates in a large city, and have argued that this process may have contributed to voting errors, or caused some citizens not to vote at all. Some candidates resorted to advertising their number as listed on the ballot as a means to reduce voter confusion because of the number of names. According to media, one candidate registered along with a dog to run for Mayor. While it is important to ensure that barriers to participation in the democratic process are minimized, paradoxically the ease of registering so many candidates with very few minimum qualifications itself could ultimately reduce participation by countless voters in the process. Maintaining public confidence in the electoral system is critical to democracy and this balance should be examined. The refundable $200 nominat…

On the evening of Tuesday, June 20th, an entire stretch of Highway 401 near Pickering was closed after a tanker truck crashed sparking a massive fireball that killed two drivers. An eastbound transport truck hauling fuel lost control and hit the concrete divider that separates the eastbound and westbound lanes of highway traffic, rolled over, ruptured and caught fire. Two other vehicles, a truck and a passenger car, had been travelling westbound when they drove through the flames and caught fire. Both drivers were found without vital signs and pronounced dead at the scene. Given that Highway 401 travels through 15 of Toronto's 25 wards and hosts a monumental and growing number of transport trucks, it poses a significant risk to the safety of other drivers and millions of residents and so I am moving the following motion. This Motion is urgent because it relates to a significant health and safety matter concerning the ongoing risk of tanker trucks hauling toxic and flammable contents through heavily populated areas of Toronto immediately adjacent to Highway 401.

In Item 2023.IE4.3, City Council approved the Bloor Street West Complete Street Extension and certain by-laws associated with this project, in addition to authorizing the General Manager to directly submit to Council certain by-laws related operational and safety issues. However, some safety improvements at Bloor Street West at the intersections of South Kingsway/Mossom Road (Ward 4), and The Kingsway (Ward 3) were not included in the delegated authority. These safety improvements were developed and informed through the stakeholder and public consultation for this project. Mossom Road and South Kingsway at Bloor Street West In association with the Bloor Street West Complete Street Extension, the east leg entrance to Mossom Road at Bloor Street West would be closed. Mossom Road would remain one-way southbound for approximately 50 metres south of Bloor Street West and converted to two-way from that point to Riverside Drive. Northbound left turns from South Kingsway to Mossom Road would be prohibited to reduce conflict points at the intersection. A new westbound left-turn lane will be provided at Riverside Drive and Bloor Street West. The Kingsway In association with the Bloor Street…

Metrolinx’s Ontario Line will be approximately 15.6 kilometres in length and will include 15 stations along its route. The Ontario Line will connect to other higher-order transit options, including the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, Line 1, Line 2, and the GO network, in addition to numerous TTC streetcar and bus routes. Coordinated and integrated action across all orders of government as part of the Ontario Line construction is critical to the project’s success and to ensuring and protecting the interests of residents and businesses impacted in Toronto. The Ontario Line continues to provide a unique opportunity for the Government of Ontario, in collaboration with the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto, to work together in optimizing public investments to meet their respective mobility, housing, and economic growth targets and, most importantly, to provide the type of transit needed for Toronto’s current and future residents. City staff have provided updates to City Council on Metrolinx’s Ontario Line construction within the Toronto and East York District through the first report to the Ontario Line Subcommittee (Subcommittee), TE4.70 - Update on Metroli…

This application proposes to amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the property at 2801 Jane Street. The proposed zoning would permit an 11-storey apartment building (35.4 metres, plus 5.5-metre high mechanical penthouse and amenity floor) with a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 19,230 square metres, containing 224 dwelling units, and a one-level underground garage with 119 vehicular parking spaces. The existing 17-storey apartment building will be retained on the site. The proposal is a compatible and sensitive infill development in the Apartment Neighbourhoods designation with appropriate height, articulation, frontage, and setbacks in relation to the existing apartment building and surrounding urban environment. Furthermore, this proposal will include improvements to the existing rental apartment building, as well as provide landscape improvements that will contribute high quality amenities for residents.
