Caveats worth knowing A permit is not a finished building — active permits may stall or be abandoned, and cleared permits are the only ones confirmed complete. Permits whose address can't be matched to an address point are counted in the ward totals but can't be drawn as points. Unit counts are gross, not net.

Nobody shows their working, because there usually isn't any. Meanwhile the City of Toronto has published a detailed record of over 200,000 building permits, including what each applicant declared their project would cost. It has sat there in a data portal, in a format nobody outside city planning was going to open. That gap is the whole reason for this site. The numbers already existed. They just needed someone to match the work types, strip the typos, and draw the distribution. <h2>How we make money, stated plainly</h2> One way, and you should know it before you trust a number here. If you ask for quotes, we pass your details to <em>one</em> vetted contractor and they pay us a flat fee for the introduction. Not three, not five. You will not be buried in calls.

It lets people report the issues they find when trying to park their bikes in the city. We believe that cycling — and its benefits for convenience, health, and the climate — should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, a lack of secure, easy-to-access bicycle parking and the fear of bike theft are significant barriers for cyclists. Research has found that a lack of bicycle parking is a particularly significant barrier for women who want to cycle. E-bikes and cargo bikes are excellent alternatives to driving, but are most in need of secure bicycle parking due to their higher value as well as their space and charging needs. By helping to improve bicycle parking across the city, we hope that even more people will have the option to use a bicycle to get around.[{"dataset_title": "Street Furniture - Bicycle Parking - Bicycle Locking Ring", "dataset_slug": "street-furniture-bicycle-parking", "show_dataset": true}, {"dataset_title": "Bicycle Parking - High Capacity (Outdoor)", "dataset_slug": "bicycle-parking-high-capacity-outdoor", "show_dataset": true}, {"dataset_title": "Bicycle Parking Racks", "dataset_slug": "bicycle-parking-racks", "show_dataset": true}, {"dataset_title": "Bicycle Parking - Bike Stations (Indoor)", "dataset_slug": "bicycle-parking-bike-stations-indoor", "show_dataset": true}, {"dataset_title": "Cycling Network", "dataset_slug": "cycling-network", "show_dataset": true}] https://open.toronto.ca/gallery-item/2890/Discover Toronto's Short-Term Rentals Using a Map Mason Yekta["independent developer"][{"platform": "website", "link": "https://short-term-rentals.torontoinsights.com/"}][{"dataset_title": "Short Term Rentals Registration", "dataset_slug": "short-term-rentals-registration", "show_dataset": true}] https://open.toronto.ca/gallery-item/toronto-city-councillors/Learn more about Toronto City Councillors!
