On the agenda
As the city filed it
This motion seeks to amend the plans for construction project 25ECS-LU-02SU - Watermain Replacement and Sidewalk Construction on York Downs Drive from Bathurst Street to Sandringham Drive. In late June 2025, the City is planning to undertake sidewalk construction and watermain replacements on York Downs Drive from Raeburn Avenue to Armour Boulevard. Notices of this project were distributed to those who are impacted. The sidewalk portion of this project is divided into two components with planned installations on the north side of York Downs Drive between Armour Boulevard and Elderberry Court, and another sidewalk being installed along the south side of the street between Elderberry Court and the cul-de-sac.

After some objections, we distributed surveys to gauge feedback from residents, and most expressed that they are against the plans for the sidewalk installation component.19 out of 20 residents stated their strong opposition towards having sidewalks installed on these streets. Therefore, we request that this project be revised to discard the proposed sidewalk component but continue with the remainder of the construction plan.
