In our respective wards, Wards 4 (Parkdale-High Park), 9 (Davenport), 11 (University-Rosedale), 12 (Toronto-St. Paul’s), 13 (Toronto Centre) and 14 (Toronto-Danforth), there are sections of arterial roads that are already 40 km/h due to the proximity to schools or because of the 2016 Council approval of the Road Safety Plan to reduce the number of road fatalities and serious injuries. However, there are still arterial roads that are 50 km/h. With staff support, we are looking to have all arterial roads, except Lake Shore Blvd, in our wards, be reduced to 40 km/h. The intent of this motion is to improve safety and provide consistency.

This application proposes to amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former City of North York By-law 7625 for the lands at 4500 Jane Street. The proposed zoning would permit two six-storey mid-rise buildings fronting onto Gosford Boulevard and retain the existing 14-storey rental apartment building. The proposal is a positive example of compatible and sensitive infill development in Apartment Neighbourhoods. At the ground level the proposed building is well articulated and massed along Gosford Boulevard. Generous setbacks allow for a double row of trees on Gosford Boulevard and Milo Park Gate, offering a greener setting for existing and future residents. The recommended building heights of 20 metres respond to the right-of-way width of Gosford Boulevard and is reflective of a mid-rise built form typology that has appropriate regard for the Avenues and Mid-rise Buildings Study and Performance Standards ("Mid-rise Guidelines"). The infill development proposal also offers improvements to the existing apartment building and site conditions. These improvements will help to extend the life of the existing rental apartment building, promote environmental sustainability, and contribut…

On September 21, 2021, the City received Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications (the "Application") for 15, 19, 21 and 23 Toryork Drive (the "Site") to permit the construction of four buildings resulting in a total gross floor area of 97,000 square metres, containing 1,177 residential units and 870 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, an onsite park and a POPS. The applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on the Application (the "Appeal") to the Ontario Land Tribunal on March 16, 2022. The City Solicitor requires further directions for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing scheduled for 15 days commencing on July 24, 2023. This matter is urgent as the City Solicitor is required by the Procedural Order to meet certain exchange dates in advance of the scheduled hearing and a With Prejudice Settlement Offer has been received by the City Solicitor which expires at the end of the May 10, 2023 City Council meeting.

On March 29 2023, City Council considered Item 2023.EX3.2 which contained a report outlining unprecedented financial pressures faced by the City of Toronto government totalling $46.5 Billion over ten years. This staggering shortfall will have significant consequences in the near future affecting the cost of living for citizens, and for anyone who relies on City services. It is crucial that the City government demonstrate to the public that we will make a genuine effort to reduce financial pressures before we ask citizens to pay more, or accept less service. It is also important to the City's credibility to first look inward at opportunities before accepting financial relief from other orders of government. Sponsorships, naming rights and advertising are not new concepts for the City of Toronto. There are many examples of successful projects, such as the naming of Meridian Hall and the Meridian Arts Centre. These have produced considerable benefit to citizens while maintaining reasonable boundaries around the commercialization of public assets, and maintaining the confidence and support of the public. Given the fiscal context, it is now more crucial than ever to express a willingne…

I request reduction of the speed limit on Avenue Road, between Bloor Street and St. Clair Avenue West from 50km/h to 40km/h. This proposed measure responds to six years of respectful and urgent requests from the Avenue Road Safety Coalition, in consultation with residents and Transportation Services. Excessive speed, street racing and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger pedestrians are chronic features of this particular stretch of roadway, which has been the site of a multiple collisions causing death or serious injury. While this 2.1 km segment of Avenue Road is designated a Community Safety Zone, it does not conform with the safe design objectives of Toronto’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. Instead, it is a high-speed roadway that is unsafe, intimidating, and hostile to vulnerable road users and incompatible with the residential nature of the area. In the entire length of Avenue Road from Bloor Street to the 401, this is the only section with a speed limit in excess of 40 km/h. A major contributing factor to reckless driver behaviour is that, while the rest of Avenue Road has four lanes, this section has six. As a result, most drivers travel over the spee…
