Origin

(January 29, 2026) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry

Summary

This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 32 Curzon Street. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is to accommodate the construction of a new curb and driveway access and that the tree obstructs sightlines.

           

The sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum) measures 11 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. The Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the City's decision to deny a tree permit.
