As the city filed it
Recently the Parents of Pape Avenue Junior Public School met with Metrolinx about the upcoming Ontario Line Early Works construction slated to happen around Pape School. At that meeting it was clear that the parents still have a lot of concerns and a lot of their questions remain unanswered. I've also received a letter, attached here, from the Toronto District School Board Trustee outlining the scope of the concerns. Although Metrolinx has the power to override the City's authority on Right of Way permits they have indicated that they will go through the City's application and review process for their construction permits for the Ontario Line.
