(East Toronto)

The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (May 20, 1998) from Director, Infrastructure Planning and Transportation, City Works Services:

Purpose:

To authorize the lay-out and dedication for public lane purposes of a 0.3 metre wide City-owned reserve strip abutting the east limit of the north-south portion of the lane system south of Danforth Avenue, east of Luttrell Avenue, in order that these lands can be incorporated in an improved lane to provide rear access to the properties on the east side of Luttrell Avenue.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendations:

(1) That the 0.3 metre wide City-owned reserve strip abutting the east limit of the north-south portion of the lane system located south of Danforth Avenue and east of Luttrell Avenue, shown as Part 2 on Plan 64R- 15887, be laid out and dedicated for public lane purposes; and

(2) That the appropriate City Officials be authorized to take whatever action is necessary to give effect thereto, including the introduction in Council of any bills that might be necessary.

Comments:

There is a 0.3 metre wide City-owned reserve strip adjacent to the east limit of the north-south portion of the public lane, located south of Danforth Avenue and east of Luttrell Avenue. This reserve strip is identified as Part 2 on Plan 64R-15887, a print of which has been deposited with the City Clerk.

For many years the above-mentioned reserve strip served as a buffer between the City lane lands, which are currently unimproved and the private shopping mall lands to the east. In connection with the redevelopment of the mall, the layout and dedication of the reserve strip, Part 2 on Plan 64R-15887, and widening of the lane secured as a condition of the development approval will permit the improvement of the lane to provide rear access to the properties on the east side of Luttrell Avenue.

This undertaking is pre-approved in accordance with Schedule A of the Class Environmental

Assessment for Municipal Road Projects.
