The Canadian Tamil community has been working tirelessly to advance the construction of a new community centre that will serve communities in northeast Scarborough. There is a longstanding need for increased community and social services in this area which is lacking city owned and operated community centres. Building on more than a decade of foundational work done by long-standing community organizations and business leaders, a Steering Committee was established by the Canadian Tamil community to oversee the feasibility process for the design, construction and operation of a Tamil Community Centre. The non-profit Tamil Community Centre will provide an inclusive, safe space where community organizations can offer programming and services to help address the evolving needs of the Tamil community and other racialized communities. The space will include cultural facilities, such as a library, museum and auditorium, multi-purpose spaces to facilitate educational programming and mental health services, and recreation facilities, including a gym and outdoor playing fields. In October 2020, Toronto City Council voted unanimously in support of 311 Staines Road as the future site of the Ta…

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Evans Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services has reviewed the need for prohibiting heavy trucks at all times on Evans Avenue, between Islington Avenue and Royal York Road. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services does not recommend prohibiting heavy trucks at all times.

Like many Torontonians, I am frustrated with the City of Toronto’s response to the recent snow storms. All Toronto residents, including seniors, people with mobility issues and parents with strollers, were left to contend with an inadequate and slow city response. It can’t continue like this. We know these storms happen every couple of years and yet each time our city is paralyzed by a big snowfall. Last week, I had the opportunity to tour snow removal operations. It is painstaking work and the people who do it deserve to have the proper equipment and logistical plans to succeed. I am confident that through my recommendations in this letter, we will improve Toronto’s winter maintenance program both for the residents who rely on it and the people who deliver it. In addition to my recommendations, I have also asked City Manager Paul Johnson to immediately review options to deploy additional City staff from other departments to clear and remove snow, as well as support flood prevention efforts, while also ensuring other essential City services continue their operations. I look forward to our discussion on winter maintenance at our next Executive Committee meeting, i…

Thriving main streets are the hearts of our communities and neighborhoods. Strong retail strips promote small businesses and local economic growth, and provide spaces for essential services that residents rely on. With the looming specter of US tariffs, it is more critical than ever to protect Toronto’s main streets. Unfortunately, due to Toronto’s challenging real estate market and rising cost of development, storefronts are remaining vacant for longer periods as developers are sitting on approvals. These vacant storefronts create several issues – an uglier, less vibrant streetscape, more crime and public safety issues, and reduced economic activity in our city. Staff have previously been directed through 2020.MM16.9 to explore the feasibility of implementing a vacant storefront tax. Building on this previous direction, this motion includes a wider request for staff to explore policy levers to address vacant commercial spaces in Toronto, and to beautify and improving existing vacant main street storefronts.

The by-law regulating vehicles-for-hire in the City of Toronto mandates maximum allowable ages for vehicles used as a taxicab, limousine or for a private transportation company. I have heard from the vehicle-for-hire industry that a significant proportion of vehicles are due to expire as of March 31st, 2025. Of particular concern is that 45 wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs), or approximately 10 percent of the existing fleet, are due to expire this year, and a further 203 are set to expire next year. Without a change to the by-law, there is a significant risk of losing these vehicles from the fleet, which would further reduce accessible service in the City. In addition, according to staff about 1,300 sedan taxicabs (representing 37 percent of all current active taxicabs) reach their vehicle age limit on March 31, 2025. Many of those who have ordered their replacement vehicle are affected by severe delays in vehicle delivery and taxi outfitting (including installation of bylaw-required equipment). That is why I am proposing to take two actions to help the vehicle-for-hire industry: first I am asking that Council permanently extend the maximum vehicle age limit from seven to ten…
