On the agenda

As the city filed it

The future Western North York Community Centre will be located on City-owned lands at 60 Starview Lane, adjacent to the Toronto Catholic District School Board property, St. Basil-the-Great College School, at 20 Starview Lane. The new community centre will serve area residents and the adjacent St. Basil-the-Great College School community. The award-winning Community Centre design includes the shared use of a driveway with the neighbouring school to access the main drive aisle into the new Community Centre in a way that maximizes community use and recreation opportunities on the site and eliminates the redundancy and environmental impacts a second driveway adjacent to the school.

To satisfy the City's site plan approval process, an ongoing right of access is required for the City's shared use of the driveway. It is important that the City secure rights of use for the driveway in a timely manner, to avoid any potential construction delays. This Motion is urgent as there have been delays to the construction timeline of the community centre and the motion is intended to provide direction to expedite the process and prevent further delays.
