Dedication as Public Highway of Starfire Drive Extension (25 Starfire Drive and 50 Scarboro Road) and Authority to Allocate Funds to Complete Road Works

As of this motion, the Starfire Drive extension has not been completed and the remaining work includes topcoat asphalt, top curb, sidewalks, right-of-way landscaping and repairs on the base curb and base asphalt. Authority from City Council is required to dedicate the Starfire Drive extension lands as public highway and to complete the remaining works for the Starfire Drive extension. The estimated cost to bring the Starfire Drive extension to a state of good repair is $600,000. Should the motion be adopted by City Council, Transportation Services' 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan will be increased by $94,000, which is an amount secured by the Consent Agreement in the form of a Letter of Credit provided by the former owner of the lands, and that amount will be expensed first to cover the costs of completing the outstanding works. The remaining funds for the Starfire Drive extension works will be temporarily accommodated from the Local Road Rehabilitation Program (CTP315-07) while City staff continue to pursue additional approaches to recovery in respect of the remaining costs for this work. Funding is available for this capital project categorized as a state of good repair in the 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.

Prior to the introduction of the necessary Bills to dedicate the Starfire Drive Extension Lands, City Council require the contractor retained to construct the Starfire Drive extension road works to provide a work schedule and require that the Starfire Drive extension road works be completed to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services. 4.
