Since its establishment in 2001, Yonge-Dundas Square has established itself as a prominent destination in our downtown core. Over time, significant improvements have been made to the surrounding vicinity, resulting in a substantial increase in pedestrian activity, with millions of visitors passing through each year. Public spaces and squares in Toronto play a pivotal role in our city, bringing communities together for various occasions of joy, celebration, solidarity, sorrow, and reflection. These events and gatherings take place across the city, encompassing locations like Nathan Phillips Square, Mel Lastman Square, and Albert Campbell Square. Yonge-Dundas Square, as the vibrant heart of our downtown, is no exception to this phenomenon. Given that Yonge-Dundas Square has maintained its current form for over two decades and in light of our city's ongoing recovery efforts from the impacts of COVID-19, it is essential for our public spaces to adapt to the evolving needs of our communities, stimulate economic development, and facilitate Toronto's future growth. Consequently, conducting a thorough review of the governance and operations of Yonge-Dundas Square is a critical step toward…

Temporary signs are signs that are not permanently installed or affixed to the ground or any structure or building, and are regulated by Article III of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 693, Signs (“Temporary Signs By-law”). This report proposes amendments to modernize the By-law to improve enforcement, respond to the use of new sign types in Toronto, and increase the By-law's overall readability. Election Signs, Third-Party Signs, Posters, Designation Signage on Public Highways, Neighbourhood and Business Area Identification Signs, and signs regulated under the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 694, Signs, General were not part of this review. This report recommends improving the pedestrian clearway by updating placement requirements for A-frame and Portable signs. It is proposed that these signs be placed curb-side and in-line with other street furniture, where possible. The existing 2.1 metre pedestrian clearway requirement would be maintained and expanded to 2.5 metres on specified Downtown Toronto streets to align with Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafes, Parklets and Marketing Displays. These changes are intended to improve the line-of-travel for pedestr…

City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 694, Signs, General, the "Sign By-law" is a harmonized, City-wide set of regulations governing signs which was adopted in 2010. The Sign By-law contains a process for any member of the public to apply to City Council to amend the Sign By-law to implement significant changes to the sign regulations for a specific property or area. Under the provisions of the Sign By-law, applications may be made requesting amendments to the Sign By-law to change the sign district designation for a specific premises or area. In addition to the nine Sign Districts across the city, the Sign By-law currently contains seven “Special Sign Districts” which are areas of the city where the style, number, and/or type of signs are contributing factors to the character of that area. All premises in the city are designated as belonging to one of these sixteen sign districts or special sign district designations. Upon initially being adopted in 2010, the Sign By-law contained six Special Sign Districts. In response to new development and redevelopment in specific areas of the city, Council has since amended the Sign By-law to add the Entertainment District Spec…

The SmartTrack Stations Program (the "Program") represents a significant investment to improve transportation choices within Toronto, leveraging existing transit infrastructure to serve more people. Combined with Metrolinx's GO Expansion Program, SmartTrack will transform heavy rail infrastructure in Toronto from a regional commuter service into an urban rapid transit network. At its March 29, 2023, meeting, City Council adopted EX3.9 SmartTrack Stations Program - Update, directing the City Manager to negotiate with the Province of Ontario for the Province to commit to paying all amounts above the original Program Budget of $1.463 billion, which as of the date of the report, were estimated at $234 million. Negotiations with the Province of Ontario began in earnest post City Council direction on March 29, 2023 and are currently ongoing. City staff anticipate that negotiations will conclude imminently. As such, the purpose of this report is to note that City staff will provide a supplementary report with the details on the outcome of negotiations as soon as possible.
