As the city filed it

The City of Toronto leases approximately 485 hectares (1200 acres) of Hydro One corridors from Infrastructure Ontario for recreation purposes across the city. Under the Master Licence Agreement, as managed by the Parks and Recreation division, these lands support a network of multi-use trails and a variety of recreational uses as well as meadow re-naturalization projects. Parks and Recreation were directed by City Council in December 2024 to explore opportunities to improve a 7.3 ha Hydro One corridor in Ward 3 between Islington Avenue and Royal York Road, which is currently informally used by the neighbourhood, and add these lands to the Master License Agreement.
