In recent months, there has been a growing number of protests and rallies on 401 overpass bridges around the Greater Toronto Area. These groups vary in size from a few people to dozens. The events include the waving of flags, the affixing of posters to the bridge overhang, and using noise amplification. At times, there are also counter protests. A 401 overpass is perhaps one of the most dangerous locations for protests and rallies. The intention of the protests is to deliberately distract drivers to bring attention to their cause, on one of the busiest highways in North America. It is only a matter of time before there is a catastrophic accident with fatalities, injuries and property damage. Because the overpass is municipal responsibility and the highway below is provincial, various issues have emerged about what enforcement measures the City of Toronto can take to keep the roadway free of protests and safe for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. There are also questions about how jurisdictional and enforcement measures are handled and divided between city staff (such as Municipal Licensing) and which are handled by Toronto Police Services. There is an urgency to see jurisdictio…

Fossil fuel subsidies are bad for consumers, bad for air pollution, bad for climate pollution, and bad for human health. This motion is to support a decision by the Ontario Energy Board (“OEB”) to stop forcing existing customers to subsidize construction of new methane gas pipelines, effective 2025. The Ford government is contemplating overriding this very sensible decision, and forcing Toronto customers to keep subsidizing new fossil fuel pipelines. The total subsidy exceeds $250 million each year. It breaches Canadas repeated international commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. It causes higher energy bills for both existing gas customers and new homebuyers. It encourages developers to install gas equipment, which locks in fossil fuel dependence and adverse health effects. And it undermines municipal climate progress. Toronto cannot achieve net zero without eliminating the use of fossil gas for building heating. Gas pipelines generally have a 60-year lifetime. With climate damage accelerating so quickly, it is financially and environmentally irresponsible to subsidize new pipelines and to install gas equipment in new units. Many fast-growing jurisdictions, i…

Toronto Island home owners enjoy a beautiful setting, low crime rates, full municipal services and a year-round ferry. Additionally, this exclusive enclave has some of the lowest residential property tax bills in the City. Home ownership on Toronto Island is different from the rest of the City. Residents own the house but not the land it sits on, which is leased from the City. Consequently, residential property taxes are extremely low as they are based solely on the house value, not the land and house value like the rest of the Toronto. Due to these unique circumstances, Toronto Island residents pay significantly lower residential property taxes than everyone else. For example, the average Toronto Island home owner pays approximately $1,530 per year, whereas the average Flemingdon Park tenant pays $4,320 of property tax annually in their rent. However, given the island setting the cost of providing municipal services there is approximately three times the cost for the rest of the City. With the current residential property tax rate, Toronto Island residents are not paying their fair share. In fact, the provision of their municipal services is heavily subsidized by taxpayers across…

The Midtown Zoning Review is one of three initiatives collectively known as "Ready, Set, Midtown", to implement Official Plan Amendment 405, the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan ("the Plan"), The other two initiatives are the Midtown Infrastructure Implementation Strategy and the Midtown Public Realm Implementation Strategy. The Midtown Zoning Review is intended to implement the policies of the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan via permissions in zoning. City Council has adopted by-laws for this purpose in phases, including those for the 'Villages' Character Areas and select low-rise Neighbourhoods. The purpose of this report is to bring forward recommended zoning by-law amendments to implement Secondary Plan policies for select lands designated Apartment Neighbourhoods, and certain Parks and Open Space Areas - Parks. Most of these lands fall within a Council-adopted Major Transit Station Area, which sets a minimum floor space index for the lands. The recommended zoning by-law amendments permit, housing in mid-rise and tall building forms on lands planned for mid-rise to high-rise intensification, along with small scale arts, cultural, retail and service uses. The recommended changes com…

This report presents the real estate strategy and recommendations to implement the new Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy. The Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy was approved by City Council in November 2023 and recommended a long-term, proactive approach for Toronto Shelter and Support Services to improve the stability and recovery of the shelter system and address the unprecedented demand for shelter beds. The Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy focuses on developing purpose-built shelters, and a gradual transition out of COVID-19 shelter hotels. This real estate strategy was developed in collaboration with Corporate Real Estate Management, and is a companion report to the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy that seeks authorities from City Council required for the real estate and construction activities to implement the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy. The report also reports back on City Council direction to assess opportunities for property acquisition of currently leased sites, including motels that form part of the family and refugee shelter program, and to leverage sites for the…
