As the city filed it
In 2015, Metrolinx and the City of Toronto executed a Memorandum of Understanding that established a commitment to deliver a Dog Off-Leash Area and future park area over those portions of the Weston Tunnel Roof that are not being used by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. This is a long-awaited improvement, and the community has communicated the increased need for such space in this area. City staff have been engaging with Metrolinx's Third Party Review team with the aim of securing a permit from Metrolinx staff to proceed with outstanding construction works to deliver the Dog Off-Leash Area.

These efforts have been challenged by a lack of timely sharing of information regarding site restrictions and newly identified technical issues. Metrolinx is requested to make all efforts to prioritize and expedite this project to ensure the City and Metrolinx can deliver this much-needed park space for the community. This Motion is urgent in order to complete the Memorandum of Understanding for this much-needed park space by January.
