Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Gary Crawford be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
11 Macey Avenue - Consideration of City-Owned Properties in areas surrounding Modular Housing Initiative
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent given the accelerated process surrounding the Modular Housing Initiative at 11 Macey Avenue and the Housing Now project planned for 777 Victoria Park Avenue. At this time, this area is under-serviced, and in consideration for the current neighbourhood challenges, anticipated density and loss of green space, the community is in dire need of community benefits.
