As the city filed it
At the April 2025 Infrastructure and Environment Committee meeting, city staff will bring forward a report with an update on the Congestion Management Plan (2023-2026). This report will highlight the many actions the city is taking to manage congestion and demonstrate our commitment to taking the issue seriously. Recently the Toronto Region Board of Trade released a report, Breaking Gridlock: A Congestion Action Plan for Toronto, which proposes five actions to get Toronto moving in the near-term: - Reduce lane closures by pricing lane closures to incentivize faster, better construction and making off-peak construction on major arterials the norm.

- Enforce the rules of the road with enhanced automated enforcement. - Unclog the arteries with a variety of actions including limiting curb lane cafés, moving parking off-street on select roads, and incentivizing off-peak deliveries. - Clear the bottlenecks by re-engineering traffic flow at the Gardiner-Harbour nexus, piloting ramp metering and promoting zipper merging. - Implement accountability mechanisms including the creation of an intergovernmental table, and monitoring and publishing of KPIs for traffic flow. I recommend we request city staff provide a response to the eleven recommendations identified in the report and how they might be included in the city's congestion management toolbox going forward.
