Every Mayor and City Council has Trusted Paul by appointing him to a number of City Committees as Chair, where he has successfully brought proven cost saving measures to residents while showing his leadership in ensuring his committee responsibilities and contributions are held to a high standard.
 
PUBLIC TRANSIT FOR ALL: Paul has delivered in introducing new Public Transit Improvements to his residents along with infrastructure projects to Scarborough!
  • 175 Bluffers Park – Delivered – Paul brought this matter to the forefront and advocated the TTC as residents needed to access the park through public transit. The route has proven to be a success
  • 902 Markham Road Express – Delivered - The route will operate along Markham Road providing a faster route option.
  • Seamless Kingston Road 12D – Delivered – continuous bus Route along Kingston Road!  Paul work with residents and got it done!
  • TTC Bus Route for Brimorton Drive – approved and being implemented.  Our petition for a TTC bus route along Brimorton Drive is submitted and underway.
  • LRT along Kingston Road and Morningside Avenue: Paul has secured the City Funding and is working diligently towards a commitment from the Province and Federal Governments for their share of the funding. This route remains a priority for the City! Over 40,000 residents would have access along this route.  The plans for the Scarborough Subway to the Scarborough Town Centre are underway, residents I know have expressed disappointment in the reduction to only one stop.  We need to address responsible planning to ensure our tax dollars are spent to serve us best.
EMPLOYMENT: Toronto City Council has authorized a land exchange with the Toronto District School Board (the "TDSB") for the exchange of the TDSB owned property located at 200 Poplar Road, formally known as Sir Robert L. Borden Business and Technical School (“Borden”), in exchange for a portion of the future City of Toronto (the "City") development site located at 770 Don Mills Road as part of the City’s Housing Now Initiative.  This transaction will see the City become owner of the Borden site once this new school is built at 770 Don Mills Road, which is anticipated to happen in the next couple of years.  In the interim, the City and TDSB will explore opportunities for the City and community to get access to Borden before the finalization of the land exchange, acknowledging the significant opportunity this site represents for the community.  It is anticipated that the City and the TDSB will finalize the agreement by the end of 2022, and will at that time have a clear timeline as to the availability of Borden for broader community use.

Paul has been working diligently to build a Jobs Skills Centre in Scarborough at the former site of Sir Robert Borden BTI located at 200 Poplar Road since the TDSB announced its closure.  Paul understand we need to have people trained for long term good paying jobs here in our community.  
​
