The development of the City’s 2026 budget is currently underway. The budget process includes addressing an opening operating budget pressure of $1.072 billion, while also ensuring funding is available for the delivery of valued City services. Building on the $680 million and further $620 million in reductions and offsets identified in the 2025 and 2024 budgets respectively, it is imperative that the City continue to identify opportunities to streamline processes and operations within City divisions and agencies to ensure efficient delivery of services. Toronto Parking Authority is a mid-sized City agency with a 2025 budget that includes over $144 million in operating expenses and a 10-year Capital Plan of just under $400 million. The Toronto Parking Authority incurs expenses for management, technology and external supports that duplicate resources and expertise that reside in City divisions. There are also opportunities to examine how capital expenses are financed that both considers asset types and life; and current infrastructure requirements, consistent with other program areas in the City. This motion directs the City Manager to conduct a thorough operational review and…

Toronto’s Parks are among the City’s most important Public spaces. They are places where families gather, kids play, and neighbours connect. When encampments take over playgrounds, set up next to daycares, and impact other community spaces, they become unsafe for the people they’re meant to serve. The City of Toronto needs to ensure safe access to all parks, especially those near schools, daycares and playgrounds. That is why this motion calls for removing encampments in these locations within 48 hours of being reported. In Ward 19, an encampment was established at Stanley G. Grizzle Park, immediately adjacent to a daycare and on a route used by families and residents of all ages. Residents have endured unacceptable impacts from this encampment, including observing the use of crack pipes, littered needles, increased garbage, screaming at three o’clock in the morning, human waste left in residents’ backyards, the illicit sale of drugs to minors, porch package theft, and assaults. Despite escalating this situation repeatedly to City officials, the encampment and its negative impacts have remained. Encampments are not a healthy or sustainable solution fo…

This motion is to express support for the provincial government’s proposal to ministerially zone the lands known as 1875 Steeles Ave West to limit building heights in order to safeguard the continued operational viability of Sanofi Pasteur Limited’s biomanufacturing campus at 1755 Steeles Avenue West. The Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade has requested the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for the Minister’s Zoning Order which would limit all buildings and structures on the Subject Lands to a maximum height of 33 metres. Currently the Subject Lands is occupied with an existing 4-storey, 120 unit rental apartment building. An application for a zoning by-law amendment and rental housing demolition to permit a 39- and 33-storey tower connected by a 14-storey podium was refused by City Council at its Meeting of July 2, and 25, 2024. The owner of the Subject Lands appealed the refusal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. One Case Management Conference was convened by the Ontario Land Tribunal. No hearing dates were set. The Sanofi facility is located within a Provincially Protected Employment Zone on a 21 hectare parcel comprising over forty bu…

A survey conducted by the Toronto Region Board of Trade highlights that the biggest challenge that workers in the Pearson Economic Zone face is getting to their workplace. The Pearson Economic Zone employs 400,000 workers and contributes $53 billion to Ontario’s economy. Extending the Finch West Light Rail Transit to the Pearson Economic Zone will spur further economic growth in the region, support tourism into the City of Toronto, and bring much-needed higher-order transit to Etobicoke. This is a significant opportunity to improve mobility for residents, workers, and visitors. This motion requests the Province of Ontario/Metrolinx provide an update on the plans to advance the extension of the Finch West Light Rail Transit to Woodbine and beyond to Pearson International Airport. This motion also request Metrolinx provide a work plan for the completion of an emergency access lane across the Finch West Light Rail Transit guideway for access to and from Division 23 Station along Finch Avenue west of Kipling Avenue. Reason for Urgency: To ensure that the plan for the Finch West Light Rail Transit aligns with City Council’s vision and the provincial government’s publi…

Speed continues to be a leading cause of fatal and serious collisions in Ontario, contributing to approximately 21 percent of traffic-related fatalities. Automated Speed Enforcement is a key component of the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan and a proven tool for reducing speeding and improving safety, particularly in School and Community Safety Zones. Toronto's Automated Speed Enforcement program launched in January 2020 with 50 mobile Automated Speed Enforcement cameras enforcing posted speed limits in Community Safety Zones across the City. As directed by City Council, the program was expanded to 75 cameras in 2023 and further expanded to 150 in early 2025. Recently, City Council has made several requests to adapt the current operation of the Automated Speed Enforcement program including considering modifying the hours of operation, limiting the number of tickets a driver receives within a specific time period, and enhancing signage that alerts drivers to the presence of speed cameras. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the changes that will be made to the Automated Speed Enforcement program, subject to legislation being in effect that permits municipalitie…
