Item - 2025.TE20.4

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the permanent closure of the public laneway shown as Part 5 on Plan 66R-32512 attached as Attachment 1 to the report (February 3, 2025) from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services.

2. City Council enact a By-law substantially in the form of the draft By-law attached as Attachment 2 to the report (February 3, 2025) from the Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services.

As this report recommends the permanent closure of a public laneway, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services recommends that the public laneway known as Ln W Gilead Pl N Eastern Ave and between 10A Eastern Avenue and 16 Eastern Avenue, shown as Part 5 on the registered plan of survey attached as Attachment 1 of this report, be permanently stopped up and closed.

Once closed, it is intended that the former public laneway will be sold to an adjacent property owner to improve short-term access to 10A and 16 Eastern Avenue and to facilitate future re-development of the broader site. The transaction is approved pursuant to the delegated authority set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 213.
