The popularity of street festivals shows that there’s enormous public support for pedestrianized streets in Toronto. That’s why I’m bringing forward a motion to the next city council meeting, seconded by Councillor Chris Moise, who launched the Church Street pedestrianization pilot, to create a Pedestrian Streets Program for Toronto. Pedestrian streets are proven to contribute to the success of local businesses and residents’ quality of life. I’m asking city staff to identify the right streets for festivals, seasonal and permanent initiatives, and report on resource requirements, and where it works considering safety and functionality, to create pedestrianized streets across Toronto. Many global cities including Paris and Copenhagen, and as close to home as Montreal, have successful pedestrian streets - and it’s time that Toronto become the world class city we aspire to be.

NEW: Federal Transport Minister Steve MacKinnon today announced that the federal government is launching consultations about the future of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport - which Prime Minister Carney last week said would happen. #onpoli #cdnpoli Details:

Everyone has a role to play to keep our roadways safe. Please watch Chief @TPSMyronDemkiw’s message.

Yesterday, Russia launched one of its largest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine in four years. Canada unequivocally condemns these indiscriminate attacks. I express my deepest condolences to those injured and everyone mourning their loved ones. Canada stands with Ukraine as it defends itself against this unconscionable aggression and we will work with allies to sustain pressure on Russia to bring this conflict to an end.
