Summary

On July 14, 15 and 16, 2021, City Council adopted Item IE23.9, entitled "Award of Contract Number 21ECS-LU-01TT to EBC Bessac Canada (FSPSTT) Joint Venture for the Construction of the Fairbank Silverthorn Storm Trunk Tunnel and Micro-Tunneled Storm Collectors for Basement Flooding Protection Program Study Area 3".

 

My office has been notified by City staff that the above referenced construction project requires a temporary closure to vehicular traffic on Silverthorn Avenue, between Dunraven Drive and Aileen Avenue, which will block driveway access to a number of residents. One resident impacted by the closure has requested their existing designated on-street accessible parking space be relocated to a nearby street for the duration of the temporary closure.

 

City staff have advised the resident that designated on-street accessible parking space is not for the exclusive use of any one resident. Any person with a valid Accessible Parking Permit issued by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation may park in any designated on-street accessible parking space.

 

This motion seeks to accommodate the resident's request for temporary relocation of the existing designated on-street accessible parking space.
