Community Consultation

The City of Toronto’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan is focused on reducing traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads safer for everyone, especially vulnerable road users such as seniors, school children, and people walking and cycling.

State-of-good-repair work, including sewer and watermain replacements, road resurfacing, and road reconstruction, are scheduled in Kensington Market in 2022 and 2023. While the design work for 2022 has been finalized, the work in 2023 provides an opportunity to install additional safety improvements.

Project Goals

1. Improve safety and accessibility for everyone
2. Maintain access to all businesses, services and residences

We’ve paired with MPP Jessica Bell to find out what the market is most worried about as we approach the long winter months.

Please take our survey so we can better inform the official opposition on what the market needs to help us survive the pandemic this winter

MPP Jessica Bell Small Business Round Table

Tomorrow there will be a Small Business RoundTable, with guests MPP Catherine Fife, Official Opposition Critic for Economic Growth and Job Creation and John Kiru, Executive Director of TABIA (Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas).

We will be discussing the impact of the pandemic on local business, the governments’ response, and the ONDP’s Save Main Street plan.

We are losing our “Main Streets” which threatens our economy, our jobs, and the vibrancy of our neighbourhoods. That’s why the ONDP is calling for:

• A ban on all evictions, lockouts or eviction threats by commercial landlords until the pandemic ends
• A utility payment freeze for small and medium-sized businesses
• A stand-alone emergency 75 per cent commercial rent subsidy, up to $10,000 per month
• A fund for businesses that face historic barriers

The virtual gathering will be held on Thursday October 22^nd

If you would like to join in the conversation please register here.

If you have questions in advance of the Round Table, please submit them by email to jbell-co@ndp.on.ca.

• Plan includes a ban on all commercial evictions,
• a 75 per cent commercial rent subsidy,
• sick days for all,
• a fund to help businesses with safe-reopening costs or remote-work set-up costs,
• more non-profit and public child care spaces for working parents,
• and end to insurance gouging and insurance denials.
