What changed?
A transparent register of reporting changes, unresolved discrepancies, freshness, and known unknowns.
In plain termsThis page is this site's own corrections log — places where two City documents disagree with each other, goals that stopped being mentioned, and open questions nobody has answered yet. It's here so this project's own track record is as checkable as the City's.
Goals no longer reported
Three goals went silent in 2025: TR-GAS-G1, FO-G1, and CI-G1 appeared in both earlier annual reports but not the 2025 report.
Inspect these goalsFunding changes
TR-D-G1’s funding classification was corrected after five external primary grant records established a defensible link. The interface marks this as externally verified rather than City-reported funding.
Contradictions register
40% greenhouse-gas threshold
The 2024 report’s prose says the threshold was reached in 2023; its own table shows 2023 at −39.31% and 2024 at −42.13%. This project follows the table for charting and preserves the discrepancy. A corrected City report would resolve it. At the Community Sustainability Council's July 2026 meeting, OSR restated the 40% target as met without specifying a year or referencing the updated GHG inventory that was due that same month — the ambiguity remains open.
Countywide Extreme Temperature Action Plan status
The 2025 Progress Report says an interlocal taskforce "completed" a countywide extreme temperatures action plan. OSR's July 2026 CSC presentation instead described "a draft" of the same plan as having been created. This may reflect a real status change (a completed plan reopened for revision) or imprecise wording in one of the two sources — this project flags the discrepancy rather than picking one.
2025 accomplishments cited at the July 2026 CSC meeting
OSR's presentation also cited figures not found in either Progress Report: 19,801 lbs of household hazardous waste collected across two 2025 Recycle Rodeo events (a narrower, different metric than the annual facility-wide HHW tonnage series tracked elsewhere on this site), and roughly $400,000 in energy savings identified during 2025, with no project-level breakdown given. Both are recorded as single-source, meeting-level figures — not yet corroborated in a published report.

Live evidence added
Six live public data sources now cross-check specific claims in real time: GTA's own transit schedule/vehicle data, City Council's Legistar voting record, Census ACS tract-level poverty data, USAspending.gov federal award drawdown status, EPA air-quality readings, and the City's own building-permit system. See About for the full list and each source's verified status.
This update also adds the Community Sustainability Council's public monthly meeting minutes as a dated, citable source — used here for the first time to note a July 2026 update on streetlight LED conversion, a coverage gap in the fleet telematics pilot, and the two discrepancies above. Minutes are archived on the City's CSC page.
Known unknowns
- Fifteen goals have no goal-specific 2025 update.
- Absence from reporting cannot establish that implementation stopped.
- The updated official 2022–2024 greenhouse-gas inventory was contracted but not present in this data snapshot.
- Some funding may exist without a defensible published goal-level link.
