Background:

Glencairn Baptist Church has applied for Site Plan Control Application No. UDSP-98-035, for the construction of a new church at 713 Glencairn Avenue. A condition of Site Plan approval includes the construction of a sidewalk on the east side of Shermount Avenue from Glencairn Avenue to the south limit of the site. Councillor Moscoe has requested that the sidewalk be extended to Hillmount Avenue to complete the sidewalk for that particular City block.

City staff have reviewed Councillor Moscoe's request to extend the sidewalk on Shermount Avenue and have determined that a sidewalk can be constructed on the east side of Shermount Avenue from the south limit of the development at 713 Glencairn Avenue for a length of 50m to Hillmount Avenue. As there is a row of mature trees on the boulevard, it is proposed to construct the sidewalk behind the trees. The estimated cost of construction for the sidewalk extension is $7,000.00 which can be funded from the 1998 Capital Budget item for new sidewalk construction (North York).
