I am writing to formally propose renaming Rosebank Park (located at 1051 Progress Avenue) to Cynthia Lai Park in honour of the late Toronto City Councillor Cynthia Lai. Councillor Lai was a dedicated public servant who left a legacy in our community. She signified the spirit of service and inclusion that we strive to uphold in our City and was committed to improving the lives of residents in our Ward and throughout our City. Renaming Rosebank Park is a meaningful way to ensure her memory and contributions inspires future generations. My office has actively engaged the community to gather support for this proposal. With the permission and support of her family, a petition to rename the park in her honour was circulated and received overwhelming positive feedback from residents and local organizations. Community meetings and social media outreach have further demonstrated the broad consensus around commemorating Councillor Lai's legacy in this way. We have not encountered any opposition from park users or community stakeholders. As the first immigrant woman of Asian descent elected to City Council in Scarborough, Councillor Lai broke barriers.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on McCowan Road, Lawrence Avenue East, and Eglinton Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required. Construction of the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) Kennedy Station Connection, Emergency Exit Building-1 (EEB-1) and Lawrence East Station will require long-term temporary road closures and associated traffic by-law amendments. Additionally, certain road segments on Eglinton Avenue East, Midland Avenue, McCowan Road and Lawrence Avenue East will require temporary realignment to create sufficient space for construction activities while maintaining traffic flow and access for vehicles and pedestrians. These temporary diverted sections of the roadways, located on Metrolinx-owned or privately-owned lands, will need to be designated as public highways to ensure compliance with municipal standards and facilitate enforcement of traffic by-laws. The public highway dedication will become effective upon the transfer of the required land interest to the City and the registration of the highway designation bylaw on those lands. This staff report seeks City Council approval for the long-term temporary road closur…

As part of the City’s application to the federal Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF), City Council directed staff to report back by the second quarter of 2024 on opportunities to enable as-of-right zoning for residential buildings with up to six units and four storeys city-wide. This would build on the recent adoption of permissions for multiplexes with up to four units and the Ward 23 (Scarborough North) Multiplex study exploring six-unit buildings that is currently underway. This report provides an overview of the current policy context and ongoing work to permit six-unit buildings city-wide; summarizes emerging trends and best practices in other jurisdictions for multi-unit residential buildings; identifies potential barriers; and sets out a proposed workplan to identify opportunities to expand permissions for six-unit and four-storey residential buildings city-wide. Should Planning and Housing Committee endorse this workplan, staff will undertake further analysis and stakeholder consultation and will report back in Q4 2025 with a proposals report outlining proposed amendments to advance for broader public consultation and implementation.
