On the agenda
As the city filed it
Section 45(9) funds have been secured and received in the development at 1636 Dundas Street West to be allocated to conduct a traffic study for the surrounding neighborhood with any remaining funds to be directed to local parks improvements. Transportation Services staff advise that at the current moment a traffic study is not required. This Motion seeks to contribute $8,000 of these Section 45(9) funds to help Shirley Street Junior Public School meet their construction timelines and begin building a new playground.

The current playground is too small and is inadequate for the needs of the students at the school and in the wider community. In the absence of a City playground nearby, the Shirley Street Junior Public School grounds serve that purpose for the wider community. The Section 37 Implementation Guidelines (section 5.7) approved by Council in 2007 states: "Cash contributions toward the capital improvement of school board playgrounds are eligible S.37 community benefits where the playground serves as a local park, where the public will continue to have reasonable access for the foreseeable future, and where there is no local City-owned parkland performing a similar function in the same community that could otherwise benefit from the cash contribution." A Community Use Agreement will be executed between the City and the Toronto District School Board, drawn up in consultation with the Ward Councillor.
