The Upper Jarvis neighbourhood is a dynamic community with numerous highrise condominiums and apartment buildings with select heritage properties. There are many new residents to Toronto with passionate members looking to improve their neighbourhood. There are volunteer community members who make up the Upper Jarvis Neighbourhood Association who advocate for the needs of the community.
Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
Toronto now has a new Encampment Protocol with a multi-divisional approach to respond to the complex needs of those living outdoors.
There are several improvement and beautification projects underway.
In 2023, over 50% of rental units approved for demolition and replacement across the city were in Toronto Centre.
A common complaint is that City bylaws are not sufficiently responsive to climate change and encourage landlords to keep the heat on unnecessarily.
Since the end of the pandemic, residents have had real concerns about the condition of our Downtown East, including public drug use, encampments, homelessness, unclean laneways and sidewalks, graffiti, broken windows, break-ins, public intoxication, used needles, and a noticeable lack of visible enforcement.
