On the agenda

As the city filed it

The construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT has had many impacts on communities across the City of Toronto. One of the most negative and damaging impacts has been on our road infrastructure. As a result of Crosslinx/Metrolinx construction, much of Eglinton Avenue is in horrible condition with potholes, abrupt changes in road grade, and temporary patchwork that have made the road a messy obstacle course. Driving across these surfaces is difficult and even dangerous, and the immediate surroundings look terrible.

City Staff informed the Infrastructure and Environment Committee that Crosslinx/Metrolinx may leave this mess for the City of Toronto to clean up and pay for once the project is completed. If Crosslinx/Metrolinx damages City roads they should repair them. They should leave them in the same, or better, shape than when they started construction. If they broke it, they fix it. This Motion without Notice is urgent because staff are currently in negotiations with Crosslinx on the matter.
