“By bringing all these datasets together in one tool, we’re making it easier than ever for residents to understand what’s happening around them, participate in local government, and hold us accountable.”
Key Features of phase two Include:
- Interactive mapping of all Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) permits, including construction and utility permits previously unavailable in phase one
- Real-time updates to track new and ongoing projects in a neighbourhood
- Integration with the Application Guidance webpage for detailed permit information and the Traffic Obstruction Map for up-to-date road and sidewalk closures.
“By bringing all these datasets together in one tool, we’re making it easier than ever for residents to understand what’s happening around them, participate in local government, and hold us accountable”
The Insights Tool was created through a cross-departmental collaboration between:
- Department of City Planning (DCP): supporting sustainable, equitable development
- Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI): managing safe, accessible public rights-of-way
- Permits, Licenses, and Inspections (PLI): enforcing safety and building standards
- Department of Public Works (DPW): maintaining a clean and environmentally responsible city.
