The Public Gallery wrote no story on this item. What follows is the city’s own record of what happened to it, as filed: nothing on this page is summarised or scored by us.

The decision

2021-11-09 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on November 9, 10 and 12, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee in April 2022, on Item IE14.16 , headed "Increasing the Oversight in the Utility Cut Process".

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Utility companies undertake contracts, and in many cases, the process leads to incomplete and substandard restoration work, as is the case in Snowood Drive (pictures attached). Through motions and my communication with City staff, I have asked to review temporary stream utility permits. The City of Toronto has no capacity to fully supervise or fully inspect these job sites, and because these jobs are not finished to a satisfactory level, they are causing the deterioration of the City's capital assets.

Staff recommended

Councillor Anthony Perruzza recommends that: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back in April of 2022 to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on Item IE14.16 , Increasing the Oversight in the Utility Cut Process.
