responsible development

In less than 2 years, Rachel has focused on responsible development by:

  • Attending resident association meetings and AGMs and met regularly with every resident association in Ward 15

  • Meeting with associations and community members and developers regarding specific projects to ensure meaningful community advocacy and input throughout the planning process

  • Working to strengthen the City’s response to developments under active litigation and advocated for stronger enforcement tools to address irresponsible development practices

  • Protecting the urban tree canopy by supporting stronger tree projections through the development process and improvements to the City’s tree by-law.

  • Leading the charge for more transparency and understanding about the impacts to AI data centres and their growing energy and infrastructure demands

  • Working with residents and City staff on the Thorncliffe Park TOC process, resulting in recommendations to ensure strong connectivity and resident concerns addressed as part of the TOC planning process

  • Collaborating with staff to ensure multiplex implementation reflected the experiences of Ward 15 residents, leading to additional parameters around multiplex developments

  • Strengthened protections for tenants including the implementation of a new colour-coded system to hold landlords accountable for building upkeep

  • Supporting advancement of an indoor maximum temperature by-law as well as opposition to Provincial Bill 60 which sought to weaken tenant rights

  • Partnering with local tenant organizations and RentSafeTO on property maintenance concerns when not addressed in timely manner by landlords
