This a big month for laneway (housing) advocates in Toronto. Last week, City Council voted in favor of expanding the policy provisions for laneway suites to all Neighbourhoods within the city. (Neighbourhood is a defined term in the city's Official Plan.)

Previously, the policies -- which allow laneway suites to be built as-of-right -- only applied to the Toronto & East York Districts. Here's a copy of the recent staff report in case you would like more information.

On Monday, my friend Alex Sharpe (of Lanescape) was on BNN Bloomberg talking about why this is a good thing for the city. Alex and the rest of the team at Lanescape have been instrumental in these policy changes.
