Comments:
The former Toronto City Council, at its meeting of October 6 and 7, 1997, gave final approval for the installation of a precast concrete island, as shown on the attached print of Drawing No. 421F-4945, on the east side of Hudson Drive, north of Heath Street East (Clause 7 in City of Toronto Executive Committee Report No. 23).
During the installation of this device by City Works staff, residents of Hudson Drive contacted former Councillor Howard Joy and requested that this device be relocated to the west side of the street as shown on the attached print of Drawing No. 421F-5058. The request to relocate could be accommodated and the island was installed on the west side of the street. A technical amendment to By-law No. 602-89, to authorize relocating the concrete island from the east side to the west side of Hudson Drive, is now required.
