The Finch West Light Rail Transit is an 11-kilometre light rail transit line that will run along the surface of Finch Avenue West between the existing Finch West Subway Station and the new Humber College Station, with 18 stops that will link to Line 1 (Yonge-University line), Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses, as well as GO Transit, MiWay, Viva, and Zum transit services. The Province, through their agency Metrolinx, has ownership of the Finch West Light Rail Transit and is funding the construction and delivery of the project, as established by the 2012 Light Rail Transit Master Agreement.[1] As per the Master Agreement, the City is responsible for funding operations and day-to-day maintenance (i.e., non-lifecycle maintenance) of the Finch West Light Rail Transit and the TTC is responsible for operating the Finch West Light Rail Transit. The City will be reimbursed for annual operating funding over three years beginning in 2024 for the Finch West Light Rail Transit through the Ontario-Toronto New Deal. At this time, Metrolinx anticipates that the Finch West Light Rail Transit will achieve Substantial Completion and be ready for revenue service operation by the end of 2024. A c…

As part of the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan considered in September 2023, City Council directed staff to report back with an implementation plan to introduce a new land transfer tax on foreign buyers of residential property in the City. This report recommends introduction of a new Municipal Non-Resident Speculation Tax on foreign buyers of certain residential property, effective January 1, 2025. The primarily objective of the Municipal Non-Resident Speculation Tax is to safeguard and enhance the availability of residential housing supply and to maintain a level of affordability in the residential real estate market by discouraging international buyers from purchasing property in the City of Toronto, particularly those buyers who do not intend to live in the property, or where the purchase is for purely speculative motives. Staff are recommending introduction of a 10% rate on the residential purchase price, which, when coupled with other land transfer tax related impacts, is expected to effectively deter real estate speculation. The Province of Ontario currently levies its own Non-Resident Speculation Tax of 25% of the purchase price on the purchase or acquisition of an interes…

As City Councillors, we often find ourselves overwhelmed with agenda items and supporting documents. Although the Clerk’s Meeting Portal - which is an incredible software - and devices have been provided to us, navigating the numerous documents online has been challenging and we know that a technology-only approach does not work for everyone. Our past process of providing printed materials was understandibly discontinued, during the pandemic, however the practice continued post-pandemic without consulting members. This has resulted in decentralizing the practice and staff from the Mayor’s office as well as several Councillor’s offices have had to take hours of time to print, collate, and prepare binders for Boards, Committees, and City Council. We need a more balanced approach that is considerate of the impacts on accessibility, vision health, and reducing screen time. Instead of eliminating this service outright, while recognizing our commitment to environmental responsibility, we are proposing that City Council revisit the method of distributing materials for decision making bodies supported by the City Clerk’s office as optional and on a by-request basis…

As the Advocate for Technology and Innovation for the City of Toronto, I attended, with my Chief of Staff, the Cities Forum 2023 in Torino, Italy. The conference was held in March, 2023. Additional meetings were also arranged with other Torino government officials. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the return flight to Toronto was missed which required the booking of an additional flight and an extra night's accommodation in Italy. This resulted in the overall cost of the trip for both myself and my Chief of Staff to exceed $7.0 thousand. Pursuant to the Constituency Services and Office Budget Policy, travel expenses over $7.0 thousand must be approved by City Council. The expenses will be paid out of my Constituency Services and Office Budget.

While the majority of transit planning efforts in the City of Toronto are focused on higher-order transit initiatives, bus and streetcar routes provide transit services across most parts of the city as complements to, and extensions of, the higher-order transit network. Currently, 70 percent of all Toronto Transit Commission journeys include a surface transit trip. Improving the reliability of bus and streetcar transit supports the City's priority of keeping Toronto moving. A reliable surface transit network is essential to enable people to move around the city and access employment, business/retail, education and recreational/cultural facilities, particularly for Neighbourhood Improvement Areas and equity-deserving communities. Improving transit services in the inner suburbs is a key recommendation of the City of Toronto’s Poverty Reduction Strategy. Supporting transit reliability is critical for meeting the City’s TransformTO Climate Action Strategy’s goal of 75 percent of trips under a 5 kilometres area walked, biked, or by transit by 2030. The Official Plan identifies that “recognizing their importance, the network of bus and streetcar routes will be en…
