Corner Rounding at 155 St. Clair Avenue West - by Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

To achieve this objective, the City must acquire a small parcel of land (0.77 square metres) at the corner of St. Clair Avenue West and Avenue Road, shown as Part 1 on the draft plan of reference set out in Appendix A (the "Property"). To be authorized by delegated authority, this transaction must satisfy all General Conditions set out in Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 213, Real Property, Appendix B, including General Condition (H) which states: "Authority to acquire property is conditional upon provision being made to bring the property into compliance with applicable Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (or any successor Ministry) or other requirements such that it will be fit for its intended municipal purpose, except for property acquisitions of 50 square metres or less for transit shelter purposes." City staff have advised that is not feasible to conduct an environmental site assessment on the Property, given its small size. City staff have advised, however, that the potential risk of acquiring the Property without carrying out any environmental due diligence is minimal, again given the small size of the Property, as well as its location being adjacent to existing City-owned property already used as a public highway.
