Marked up the Neighbourhood Retail major streets map to try and track the carve-outs from yesterday's Toronto Council vote (secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...).
It's the green highlighted areas with underlying yellow which represents current residential zoning. I don't vouch for it's accuracy.

In light of Ford nixing speed cameras by municipalities in Ontario, this new item at tomorrow's meeting of Toronto's Infrastructure and Environment Committee seems grimly coincidental:

Anyone care to guess what species this nest might belong to?
I'm located in Toronto, this had fallen from a higher location onto paving stones with little visible damage, and it's as clean and seemingly unused as it looks in the pic. Constructed of twigs, and grass set in mud.
No occupants around.
