Street Naming - South Side of Queen Elizabeth Way
West of Park Lawn Road
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends:
(1) that the newly created Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance from the Queen Elizabeth Way referred to therein be named Legion Road North; and
(2) that the future allocation of street numbers be continuous from those on the existing Legion Road.
The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (February 18, 1998) from the Commissioner of Urban Development, Etobicoke District:
Purpose:
To name a newly created Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance from the Queen Elizabeth Way.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
There are no funding sources or financial implications.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Toronto Council authorize the Solicitor to prepare and present a by-law designating AMystic Pointe Boulevard@ as the new street name for the newly constructed Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance from the Queen Elizabeth Way extending to the limit of the extended Manitoba Street.
Background:
On October 15, 1992, the Ontario Municipal Board conditionally approved the necessary amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning Code and granted conditional Site Plan Approval and consent to sever the former 6.05 ha (14.95 ac) McGuinness Distillery site to permit the construction of a phased development consisting of 1,469 residential dwelling units.
The Official Plan amendment outlined necessary transportation improvements including the provision of a north/south road through the site and the construction of an Aoff-ramp@ to be funded by the developer. As part of subsequent phases, funding arrangements will be secured for the construction of an underpass beneath the CNR which will link with the existing Legion Road to the south (Exhibit No. 1).
On July 14, 1995, and July 6, 1996, Etobicoke Council granted Site Plan Control Approval for the application by 153598 Canada Inc. for the Phase I lands subject to the Ontario Municipal Board endorsed conditions. The subject development is currently under construction and Condominium registration has occurred on a portion of said lands.
Comment:
The proposed Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance which are currently under construction will intersect with the Queen Elizabeth Way (Park Lawn Road Exit) at its northerly end and terminate within the subject development site at the extension of Manitoba Street. The Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance will be dedicated to the City. This development and future phases as well as the community to the west will gain direct benefit from this ramp.
The applicant has requested that the newly created Aoff-ramp@ and road allowance be named AMystic Pointe Boulevard@. The name has been found acceptable to the Planning Department for former Metropolitan Toronto who is responsible for administering the Metro Street Name Index.
