Origin

(March 31, 2022) Report from the Director, Transportation Planning and Capital Program, Transportation Services

Summary

As this report proposes to permanently close a portion of the public highway, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services recommends that portions of Inez Court, designated as Part 10 and Part 20 on Plan 66R-32549 and shown in Attachment 1 (the "Highway"), be permanently closed.

 

Once closed, it is intended that Part 10 on the Plan will be sold to the adjacent property owner of 20-28 Inez Court (the "Adjacent Owner") for incorporation into a proposed development, on terms and conditions acceptable to the City, including a requirement that Parts 1-6, 8, 9, 13-19 and 21 on the Plan (the "New City Lands") be transferred to the City as a precondition to the conveyance of Part 10. Part 20 on the Plan will be retained by the City with jurisdiction and operational management of the public highway transferred to Parks, Forestry & Recreation in the future, once the Beecroft Extension has been constructed and opened to the public. Part 7 on the Plan will be retained as public highway for the future Beecroft Extension/access road to the proposed development.
