The UrbanHensTO pilot program began on March 2, 2018 and permits registered households in specific wards and areas of the City to have up to four hens on their property for the purposes of enjoyment and personal egg production (hens cannot be raised as livestock to eat). Staff undertook a comprehensive review of the pilot program in fall 2021, which included extensive stakeholder consultation and considered impacts on food security and sovereignty, access to veterinary care, animal health and welfare, public health and nuisance, and equity impacts. City staff brought a report to the Economic and Community Development Committee in March 2022 ( 2022.EC28.10 ) recommending city-wide expansion to create a safe and permanent hen keeping program with enhanced program requirements. In April 2022, City Council directed that the pilot program be extended until March 31, 2023 and that additional wards and areas be included in the pilot. Council also directed the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division (MLS) to conduct further consultation on staff's recommendations and to report back to the Economic and Community Development Committee. As a result of the Economic and Community Developmen…

I am submitting this administrative inquiry under Municipal Code Section 27-7.11 to seek information regarding the status of the Gardiner East “hybrid” construction project. A February 2016 Staff Report estimated the lifecycle cost of the Hybrid 3 option (which was ultimately chosen by Council) for the Gardiner East rebuild to be $1.053 billion in 2013 dollars ($1.31 billion in 2022 dollars). Question 1: What is the updated cost estimate for the Gardiner East Hybrid 3 option? An October 19, 2022 CP24 article included a statement from a City spokesperson confirming that only $500 million in contracts have been committed to the Gardiner East project. The spokesperson also confirmed that the design has not been finished, no contracts have been awarded for the easternmost portion of the project, and that construction is not scheduled to start until 2026. Question 2: Is the $500 million figure regarding contracts awarded for the Gardiner East rebuild cited in the CP24 article still accurate?

On September 15, 2022, the Etobicoke York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") approved an application for a minor variance to permit a bingo hall on the lands municipally known as 360 Evans Avenue (the "Application" or "A0332/22EYK"). The Committee's decision is included as Attachment 1. On October 4, 2022 the City Solicitor appealed the decision of the Committee on behalf of the City under the direction of City Council Item ED33.9, headed "Deputy Mayor's Manufacturing Roundtable Summary Report" adopted by City Council at its meeting on August 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2014. Recommendation 2 of ED33.9 provides the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff with standing direction to appeal any Committee of Adjustment decision that does not conform to the Official Plan's Employment Area policies. The subject property is designated Core Employment Areas in the City of Toronto Official Plan. The proposed use is not permitted under the applicable Zoning By-law and does not conform with certain Employment Area policies in the Official Plan. A hearing date of February 23, 2023 has been scheduled by the TLAB. This Motion will direct the City Solicitor to withdraw the appeal of…

Residents and Businesses throughout the City of Toronto living along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue have been enduring over 11 years of hardship due to construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. They have suffered incredible disruption and unmanageable traffic and safety issues as well as greatly reduced customer traffic, loss of revenue and in many cases business closure. Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metrolinx remains silent to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and now is incapable of even setting a new forecasted completion date. This Motion calls upon City Council to once again request Metrolinx and the Provincial Minster of Transportation to appear before the Executive Committee to publically report on the status of the project as well as funding various initiatives to compensate the residents and businesses from the negative impacts that they continue to experience with no end in sight.

Beginning with the 2003 election and in every election until 2021, City Council maintained the requirement that all participants in the Contribution Rebate Program submit copies of all campaign invoices. These invoices reside in the City Clerk’s Office and may be inspected by any individual. According to a 2002 staff report, Members of Council added the requirement to provide copies of invoices due to concern for the “lack of documentation of campaign expenses” that was otherwise available. On October 1, 2021, City Council adopted the recommendations of a report entitled, “Mail-In Voting and Contribution Rebate Programs in the 2022 General Municipal Election.” The recommendations regarding the Contribution Rebate Program eliminated the requirement for candidates to provide copies of all campaign invoices. While the requirement to submit copies of invoices was removed, candidates are still required by the Municipal Elections Act to maintain invoice records privately. It is not too late to amend Municipal Code Chapter 53, Elections, to include the requirement to submit copies of all invoices for the 2022 election cycle. As candidates are required by law…

The climate crisis and Toronto's TransformTO goals require that most local trips under 5 kilometers be made by active transportation, i.e. by walking, bike, wheelchair or similar means. This goal cannot be achieved if cyclists and wheelchair users must put their lives at risk to get around our City. The protected Bloor bike lanes are critical backbones of Toronto's active transportation infrastructure. However, this protection is frequently lost in areas close to construction projects. Instead, the City typically forces vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and users of motorized wheelchairs, into so-called "shared lanes" with cars and trucks, which puts their safety at risk, or onto sidewalks, which puts pedestrians at risk, especially seniors and those with disabilities. City Council and the public are entitled to know what options are available to provide cyclists and users of motorized wheelchairs with safe ways to pass construction sites that impinge on the Bloor Street bike lanes.
