Jennifer Keesmaat has resigned her position as Chief Planner with the City of Toronto and will leave the office officially on Friday, September 29 Her departure, as set out in the linked news release, gives no hint of where she will go, why she is leaving or who will replace her. CP24 writer Sandie Benitah writes Monday that Keesmaat “notably clashed” with Tory over the future of the Gardiner Expressway when she spoke out in favour of removing the eastern portion of the aging roadway. The mayor wanted a “hybrid” solution that would see only the elevated portion, east of the Don River, removed. Keesmaat was said to have received a “talking to” from Tory. City of Toronto
