SUBJECT:Disposition of City-owned Lands in relation to the Graywood Applications
On September 22, 1998, Community Council considered a staff report concerning the Ontario Hydro Corridor Lands -
Ontario Municipal Board Hearings. In the conclusions to that report, the possibility of a land exchange with Graywood
was explored. One opportunity might involve part of the former Scarborough Transportation Corridor (STC) lands which
are the subject of a Public Meeting on this agenda under file W96052.
In addition to amending and adopting the report, Community Council resolved to request that staff "investigate ways and
means by which negotiations can take place with the developer on the opportunities for land transfer of the former
Scarborough Transportation Corridor lands that will be the subject of a report to be provided to Scarborough Community
Council on October 14, 1998."
The only section of the STC which may be considered for any land exchange lies between Midland Avenue and Brimley
Road. This area is being recommended for redesignation to residential uses. Staff remain committed to the recommended
land use changes in the STC report, which provide for a significant area of land for open space and park purposes in
addition to the lands identified for residential use.
