Summary

An illuminated, decorative fence is being installed at 83 Alexander Street, the Church Street Junior Public School, funded through the investment of Section 45(9) community benefit funds. These funds have been allocated to improve and restore the fencing around the school grounds for many years to come. A community access agreement has been finalized as part of this work, which will provide the neighbourhood with improved access to this significant green space.

 

As the illuminated, artistic portion of this fence will exceed the height criteria of Chapter 743 of the Streets & Sidewalks Bylaw, an exemption is required.
