The municipal government, especially in a city as large as Toronto, plays an important role in delivering services and support to residents at a local level. The responsibility and commitments that Toronto City Council has to its residents are often matters that affect the daily lives of residents. By addressing the specific needs and concerns of their communities, municipal governments ensure that residents have access to safe neighborhoods, reliable public services, well-maintained roads, recreational opportunities, and a thriving local economy. As such, City Council should be empowered to enact policy changes and measures to effectively and efficiently execute the job for which they were duly elected. City Council continues to call on the Provincial and Federal governments to partner with Toronto to fund various needs of the City such as housing, transit, public safety often to no avail. The result from a lacking in funding and partnership with the other two levels of government is a lack in results for Torontonians and meaningful improvements to our city. We as Council have already seen first-hand the effects of reduced autonomy at the municipal level from the reduction of Cit…

CaféTO is one of the signature programs of the City. Its success is crucial to supporting small businesses and creating a vibrant streetscape, especially crucial as businesses continue to recover from the pandemic. After issues were identified by local businesses in May, I was pleased to see that staff elected to install all CaféTO locations that had been technically approved while the permits are still being reviewed. This is a temporary fix and I am hoping that a more thorough review of the program will ensure its smooth operation going forward. I know City Council is committed to making CaféTO work.

A recent sinkhole that occurred in the roadway at Queen and De Grassi is the latest in a number of large sinkholes along streetcar lines. Sewer maintenance and inspections by Toronto Water could help ensure that these are addressed in a preventative manner. A higher level of coordination between the Toronto Transit Commission and Toronto Water is required. Developing a plan that allows for Toronto Water to complete inspections along streetcar lines in a comprehensive manner will benefit transit riders and drivers by proactively preventing emergency sinkhole closures. This is more important than ever with the increased number of streetcar diversions and the construction of the Ontario Line. Preserving and protecting the existing streetcar routes should be the highest priority.

City Council approved modular supportive housing for 175 Cummer Avenue is awaiting an Ontario Land Tribunal hearing and the units sit in storage in Owen Sound. The seniors and surrounding community are anxious to bring finality to this matter sooner than later. This Motion addresses some of their main concerns and provides a way forward. Below are the primary concerns of the seniors which are being addressed by this motion. The greenspace is cherished by the seniors. In conversation with the seniors at Willowdale Manor they all describe the importance of the green space in the front of the building. Currently the site plan places the 59-unit building right in the middle of this green space. The seniors live in relatively small units, many of whom have mobility challenges. They cannot easily access other options for outdoor space. Given COVID restrictions, no in-person consultation was held. As a result the seniors felt their voices were not heard. Toronto Community Housing Corporation has also proposed AODA renovations to take away their stage (used regularly for programming) and front seating area which are also important amenities to them. The creation of a Community Liaison Com…

There are currently two buildings situated on 175 Cummer Avenue. The modular supportive housing would become the third building and is currently proposed to be added to the northern portion of the property nearest Cummer Avenue. The current buildings are Cummer Lodge - Long Term Care which cares for almost 400 seniors and Willowdale Manor, Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation which houses 256 elderly individuals, most of whom are low-income and ethnically diverse with limited English proficiency. Since this project was first proposed, two mistakes were made. Firstly, the seniors at Willowdale Manor who live on the property and a mere 20 metres from the potential new neighbours were never consulted in an accessible way. Due to the pandemic, consultations were held online which most seniors were not able to attend. Further, a majority of the seniors are not native English speakers and require language assistance in Mandarin, Farsi and Russian. This never happened. Although many of the consultations occurred during COVID lockdowns, outdoor multilingual engagement could have happened along the way. The second mistake was designing the site and ordering the units without zoning being fi…
