City Council Decision

City Council on June 29 and 30, 2020, adopted the following:

 

1.  City Council request Tennis Canada to agree to partially surrender its lease for the closed portion of Murray Ross Parkway shown shaded yellow and labelled 'Access Area' on the attached Plan, to enable the City to establish a shared driveway entrance on the City's lands that provides access to both the Tennis Canada site and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority property at 5 Shoreham Drive.

 
2.  If Tennis Canada refuses City Council's request, City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in collaboration with Tennis Canada and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, to investigate the feasibility of reconfiguring the intersection at Shoreham Drive and Murray Ross Parkway to create a new shared driveway entrance on the City lands west of the existing private driveway (being the unopened portion of the Murray Ross Parkway road allowance) that provides access to both the Tennis Canada site and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority property at 5 Shoreham Drive.
