As the city filed it

Recently community members were told that Metrolinx has applied for permits for different types of work on City land. However residents have been unable to get additional details from Metrolinx. This has caused concern in the community as there have been other instances where the community has been surprised by Metrolinx work in the local neighbourhood. City Staff identified this issue in TE 13.27 Metrolinx Ontario Line - Right-of-way Permit Process and Requirements.

I have heard from residents who are asking to be kept in the loop. I am hoping that you support my motion to ensure that the community is properly consulted. I believe this process is the only way to ensure that residents in Toronto - Danforth can be sure that they are fully informed about work in City Parks, on City Right of Way's or that otherwise impacts City resources
