As the city filed it

The direction from City Council at its July 2024 meeting on PH14.13 has generated much interest and attention. City Planning were initially directed to report to the October 24th meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. However after the community consultation meeting on September 19th a number of important issues were raised that require additional consideration in the report. Reporting to the October 24th meeting of TEYCC will simply not allow for an in-depth analysis of all the information that has been raised in the short time since that meeting.
