The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and the City have been operating under an existing agreement which came into effect between the two parties on July 1, 2014, and expired on June 30, 2024. This existing agreement requires necessary revisions to recognize changing technology, articulating clearer expectations of both parties and adjustment to the term of the agreement. The term of the previous agreement was for ten (10) years. Under the renewed agreement the term would be for one (1) year from the date of its execution by both parties, with automatic yearly renewals. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by serving written notice on the other party.
