Today at City Council we voted to crack down on bad landlords and put landlords with repeated, multiple infractions on notice. We’re forcing bad landlords to fix what’s broken and if they don’t, we’ll fix it for them and send them the bill.

It’s not news to anybody that Toronto’s garbage bins are badly designed. They’re kind of ugly and they’re always broken. For something that we see and use everyday, we have to do better. That’s why I’m happy that fixing them is finally on the agenda ✅

I’ve heard from riders of the 47 Lansdowne bus that there have been some significant delays along the route, so I’ve been working with the TTC to make some adjustments to make the ride much smoother. Service is expected to improve by the end of this month.

My statement on Bondi Beach massacre in Australia
Teal background graphic with white text. The statement reads: “Yesterday evening I joined my Jewish neighbours at a beautiful lighting of Hanukkah candles and vigil for the victims of the horrific Bondi Beach massacre in Australia. Tonight, I will do the same at another community vigil on a neighbourhood street in Davenport. During this Jewish festival celebrating light coming out of darkness, I want to acknowledge and stand with Davenport residents expressing our solidarity and love, and recommitment to fighting antisemitism and hate.” The message is signed “Councillor Alejandra Bravo.”

It was great to join Mayor Olivia Chow to announce fare capping in 2026. After 47 rides, the rest of the month is free! This win for transit riders reflects years of community advocacy for a fairer system. I will continue to support and work to lower the cap so that transit remains accessible.

At the November Toronto and East York Community Council meeting, I introduced resident-supported motions for new traffic-calming on Davenport streets. These measures will help slow drivers and improve safety, especially after the Province removed Ontario’s speed cameras.

Listed streets include Via Italia, Bloem Avenue, Boon Avenue, Eversfield Road, Hatherley Road, Morrison Avenue, Peterborough Avenue, Sellers Avenue, Gladstone Avenue, and Salem Avenue.

I checked in with some neighbours who phoned my office because plows still haven’t come. Even with a big storm, we should be able to count on snow getting cleared—instead, people are doing it themselves. 🚜 Let me know if your street is still waiting: alejandrabravo.ca/snow

Good news for arts in Davenport: the City has acquired the 20 affordable homes for artists at 38 Abell St. which were at risk because of the Artscape receivership. We also announced our investment of $180k to Propeller Gallery, to bring their space into community ownership.

I appreciate the care and concern shown by so many Torontonians with requests to review the warming centre opening policy. I advocated for change to this policy under the last administration, which now has centres opening at -5° instead of -15°.

A coffee shop in a residential neighbourhood is TOO WILD for Toronto City Council. Thanks for trying @alejandrabravo.bsky.social. I'd shake my head but City Council banned that too. I yearn for the day when disruptive coffee buyers won't destroy neighbourhoods.

We've heard from people across Ontario that real solutions to homelessness start with housing. This announcement from the Province once again fails to meet the depth of need, and shows a lack of understanding of our housing and shelter crisis.
