Tips for Businesses on CurbTO and Curbside Pickup Changes

written by

Municipal Team

Over the last week, the City of Toronto completed 21 installations as part of the new CurbTO program in order to reduce crowding on sidewalks and facilitate expedited pick-ups in support of essential businesses and pedestrians. Now, as the Government of Ontario has authorized all retail stores with street entrances to provide curbside pickup starting Monday May 11, the CurbTO program is preparing to expand its supports to more businesses. Businesses of all kinds will be able to request a Curb Lane Pedestrian Zone or a Temporary Parking Pick-Up Zone should they encounter crowding through the new webpage available here or by emailing curbTO@toronto.ca.

Because it may not be possible for all new CurbTO facilities to be set-up immediately, businesses are being encouraged to use strategies such as scheduled pick-up appointments and pre-payment to help mitigate crowding in the short-term. As highlighted previously, businesses in BIA areas that require CurbTO facilities are strongly encouraged to coordinate through their BIA office to ensure that there is minimal conflict with neighbours and to facilitate shared facilities where appropriate. Presently, the City has set a target of investigating requests within one week, subject to demand, and will roll-out installations shortly thereafter.

The City of Toronto is also providing the following advice for businesses intending to operate curbside pick-up:

The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.

Not all nuclear is created equal

Traditional large-scale nuclear plants have long demonstrated that it is possible to produce dependable electricity at scale without direct greenhouse gas emissions. They provide steady, around-the-clock power that supports modern economies while helping jurisdictions meet climate goals.
