Review of Water Pressure -

Area Bounded by Highway 401 on the South,

Steeles Avenue on the North, Keele Street on the West

and Bathurst Street on the East - North York Spadina

The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following Resolution from Councillor Moscoe, North York Spadina:

WHEREAS residents in the Wilson Heights and Dufferin Street area (north of Highway 401) have been complaining about water pressure problems in this area for many years; and

WHEREAS a recent T.T.C. report dated November 18, 1998, indicates that the T.T.C. must spend an additional $110,299.64 due to the fact that the "low static pressure of the water supply to the [Wilson yard] carhouse cannot adequately supply fire protection at a level required by the Commission's Underwriters; and

WHEREAS the proposed developments on the Downsview Lands will put additional stress on the same water system;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

(1)the City commission a review of the water pressure within the area bounded by Highway 401 on the south, Steeles Avenue on the north, Keele Street on the west, and Bathurst Street on the east, to determine the cause of low water pressure in this area and make recommendations in that regard; and

(2)a review be undertaken to ensure that the Destination Technodome rezoning proposal is developed in a manner that does not further impact on water pressure in the area.

Councillor Li Preti declared his interest in the foregoing matter in that he lives in the vicinity of the subject lands.
