As the city filed it

This Motion seeks approval to release Section 37 funds in the amount of $210,000 to Transportation Services Neighbourhood Projects Unit for the purpose of funding laneway construction on Lane S Eglinton W Glen Cedar - an unnamed section of public laneway bounded by Toronto Parking Authority Car Park 155 (995 Eglinton West) to the north, Glen Cedar Road to the east and Menin Road to the west. In partnership with the local Councillor and Transportation Services staff, the Cedarvale and Upper Village Community Group has identified an opportunity to transform the laneway at the rear of Toronto Parking Authority property into a safe, vibrant and inviting public space for the local community.

In addition to enhanced aesthetic appeal through replacement of an aging retaining wall and installation of decorative fencing, the project will also incorporate green infrastructure in the form of planting and permeable surfaces. As this laneway is located within the boundaries of the Upper Village Business Improvement Area, the local Business Improvement Area has been engaged and will assist with ongoing maintenance of laneway elements once constructed.
