The recommendations in this report build on work started in 2021 to review the parking standards in the City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013. These standards were originally adopted by City Council in 2013, based on a series of studies conducted between 2005 and 2007. The first phase of this review resulted in amendments to the standards for automobile and bicycle parking in 2022. The second phase resulted in amendments to accessible parking, bicycle parking, and minor amendments to visitor parking in 2025. City Council directed staff to continue the work to review visitor parking standards. This report does not recommend any changes to the visitor parking standards in Zoning By-law 569-2013. As a result of changes to the Planning Act in April 2024 through the Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 (Bill 185), municipalities are no longer able to require the provision or maintenance of parking (other than bicycle parking) in Major Transit Station Areas, which includes much of Parking Zone A. Additional analysis of visitor parking utilization through the parking monitoring program suggests the current visitor parking standards in Zoning By-law 569-2013 for Parking Zone B and Al…

Councillor Dianne Saxe, Ward 11, University–Rosedale, has submitted the following Administrative Inquiry: I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry under Toronto Municipal Code S27-7.11 to clarify the City’s response to the large amount of litter created by poor customer service from Circular Materials in the provincial takeover of Blue Bin collection. Since January 1, when Circular Materials became responsible for Toronto’s Blue Bin program, numerous residents have reported poor customer service, including late and missed collections and sloppy handling of bins. Much Blue Bin material has become litter during this sloppy handling or as the wind blows and bins are tipped over awaiting overdue pickups. This large amount of Blue Bin litter is a concern to my residents and will wastefully inflate litter collection costs for the city during a very tight budget year. I respectfully request the following information: 1. What are the City’s plans to collect all this Blue Bin litter, some of which is now mixed into snowbanks? 2. How many extra taxpayer dollars does the City expect to spend collecting this extra litter? 3. What steps will the City take to recover…

The City of Toronto has implemented a number of successful off-street multi-use trails alongside rail corridors, including the Beltline Rail Trail, the Don Mills Rail Trail, the West Toronto Rail Trail, and the Etobicoke Creek Trail. In Scarborough, the corridor between Warden Subway Station and Kennedy Subway Station has long been advanced as a means of connecting the Scarborough Junction area, and Scarborough more broadly, to other recreational trails in Toronto. To the north, the Rail Trail would eventually connect to the east-west Meadoway linking Rouge Park and the central city, while to the south, the Rail Trail would present options for connecting to Taylor Massey Creek Trail. In July 2022, City Council adopted a motion directing Transportation Services to report on implementation recommendations from the Warden Woods Community Secondary Plan for a West Scarborough Rail Trail along the former GN-GECO rail spur line. City Council considered these recommendations in June 2024, with a subsequent feasibility study presented in quarter three of 2026. To advance the feasibility of the West Scarborough Rail Trail, this motion requests Transportation Services initiate a study to ad…

In Toronto, transit users are accustomed to delays and unreliable service extending the length of their trip. Many customers budget an extra 20 or 30 minutes on their trip to allow for these regular disruptions. This kind of service performance is unacceptable. Riders are willing to pay for good service, but they should not be expected to bear the costs of arriving late to work, appointments and important events. Implementing a refund system would demonstrate that both the Toronto Transit Commission and City Council respect customers’ time and money. This accountability is critically needed now, as evidenced by the delays and slow service on the new Line 6 Finch West LRT. To encourage transit use, the system must be fast, convenient, and reliable, not slower than the alternatives. By adopting a money-back refund model that is successfully used in London, Singapore, Washington D.C., and here in Ontario by GO Transit, the City can win back riders by demonstrating that it values their time and money. This approach would incentivize the Toronto Transit Commission to improve performance standards and ensure transit becomes a fast, reliable alternative that is the preferred option…

Riding E-Bikes and E-Scooters on city sidewalks is not only illegal, but also extremely dangerous to pedestrians and especially to those with disabilities. At City Council on October 8 and 9, 2025, direction was provided for a public education campaign and enforcement blitzes. Sadly, more enforcement power (seizing of items) is needed to reinforce the messaging as the number of injuries is increasing.

We must seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine North York’s stretch of Yonge Street and ensure provincial policies do not stall the long-overdue addition of safe, protected bike lanes. In December 2020, City Council adopted the REimagining Yonge Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study, outlining road-safety improvements, cycle tracks, and public-realm upgrades between Sheppard Avenue and Finch Avenue, a vision years in the making that must now be realized. Yonge Street between Sheppard and Finch is the backbone of North York’s downtown, home to the highest concentration of office towers outside Toronto’s core and a critical route for drivers, pedestrians, transit riders, businesses, cyclists, and micromobility users. Transform Yonge represents one of North York’s most significant public-realm upgrades. Delaying it now would jeopardize community health and safety. This reconstruction offers a rare chance to widen sidewalks, add greenery and amenities, improve crossings, and deliver protected bike lanes that meet the needs of a modern urban centre. While the 2020 plan proposed removing a lane in each direction, since then the Province…
