Don Mills Regeneration Area Study - Final Report
This report recommends the approval of two Official Plan Amendments to establish a renewed vision for the Don Mills Regeneration Areas which will guide the evolution of the Leslie Site (1121 and 1123 Leslie Street) and the Wynford-Gervais Site (15 Gervais Drive, 39 Wynford Drive and 1200 Eglinton Avenue East), from employment uses to new mixed-use communities. These recommended policy frameworks will support the development of transit-oriented communities that leverage the recently opened Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit while responding to their individual contexts. For the Leslie Site, this includes protecting the portion of the City's Natural Heritage System that traverses the northern end of the site, identifying new streets to connect with the existing and planned street network and providing linkages to the Don Mills Trail. For the Wynford-Gervais Site, it is important to identify the new street and active transportation connections to support movement through the site including to nearby transit, and respond to the adjacent Aga Khan Park and Museum and Ismaili Centre through built form transition and recommended Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Spaces and mid-block connection locations. For both sites, the recommended policies also direct the establishment of a consolidated, centrally located park; ensure that development supports and enhances the existing heritage buildings and their landscape settings; require an appropriate mix of residential and non-residential uses that responds to each site's locational characteristics; and support a diversity of housing opportunities and a high quality public realm. The Don Mills Regeneration Area Study was initiated in the summer of 2025 by a multi-disciplinary staff and consultant team. It was informed by a series of background studies and a robust public engagement program which included meetings with various stakeholders and with Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1.

This report provides an overview of Metrolinx's planned construction activities for the Yonge North Subway Extension Steeles Station at the intersection of Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue. The report outlines the key construction stages, anticipated timelines, and associated long-term temporary lane closures, turning restrictions, pedestrian and cycling impacts, transit adjustments, and access considerations required to facilitate construction. Construction of Steeles Station requires excavation of a large underground station box within the existing Yonge Street right-of-way. Due to the scale and location of the work, it is not feasible to maintain traffic operations within the existing roadway during key stages of construction. To maintain north-south connectivity, Yonge Street will be temporarily realigned onto a newly constructed diversion road west of its existing alignment. Following implementation of the diversion road, Yonge Street, between Steeles Avenue and Madawaska Avenue, will be fully closed to vehicular traffic during the main construction phase. This report seeks City Council approval for the temporary full closure of Yonge Street, the temporary designation of the diversion road as a public highway and associated temporary traffic and pedestrian by-law amendments required to support construction of Steeles Station. In addition, this report seeks to extend the delegated authority of the General Manager, Transportation Services, to implement long-term temporary road closures and associated traffic modifications to December 31, 2030, to allow flexibility to respond to refinements in construction staging and scheduling without the need for subsequent reports to Council. Approval of the recommendations in this report will enable Metrolinx to proceed with critical construction activities while ensuring that impacts to the transportation network, local communities, and road users are effectively managed through coordinated traffic control, access management, and construction mitigation measures.
North York Community Council: 1. Deferred the consideration of Item NY33.27 to the July 7, 2026 meeting of North York Community Council, to allow Metrolinx additional time to undertake community consultation and engagement, in collaboration with the local Councillor's office, regarding the proposed construction staging, traffic impacts, pedestrian and business access, and associated mitigation measures related to the Yonge North Subway Extension Steeles Station construction works.
