On the agenda

As the city filed it

Both the Black Creek and Woodview Park Libraries are currently located within privately owned commercial spaces. Relocating these spaces to City owned would allow for modernized and larger library branches for these communities. This Motion is urgent because the libraries are in rented space and the costs are increasing.

Staff recommended

Councillor Anthony Perruzza, seconded by Councillor Gary Crawford, recommends that: 1. City Council request the Board of Directors, CreateTO and the Toronto Public Library Board, and direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to explore the feasibility of relocating the Black Creek Library to the City owned property known as Downsview Arena, and the Woodview Park Library to the City owned property known as Habitant Arena.
