666 Spadina Avenue - Encroachment Appeal - Walkway Platform and Bollards

The property owner is seeking authorization from the Toronto and East York Community Council to construct and maintain a walkway platform and two bollards within the public right-of-way at 666 Spadina Avenue, despite this proposal being in contravention of the Toronto Municipal Code. The proposed installation would maintain a minimum pedestrian clearway of 2.10 to 4.68 metres on the adjacent sidewalk, meeting the required minimum of 2.10 metres for permitted encroachments.

indemnify the City from and against all actions, suits, claims or demands and from all loss, costs, damages, and expenses that may result from such permission granted; b. maintain the walkway platform and bollards at their own expense in good repair and a condition satisfactory to the General Manager of Transportation Services and will not make any additions or modifications to the encroachment beyond what is allowed under the terms of the Agreement; c. accept such additional conditions as the City Solicitor or the General Manager of Transportation Services may deem necessary in the interest of the City; d. remove the walkway platform and bollards upon receiving written notice from the General Manager of Transportation Services to do so; e. the property owner will enter into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto, at the applicant's expense, and assume all liability and damages related to the encroachment; f. the property owner shall agree that the City and/or utility companies may remove the encroachment at any time in order to install or maintain services or infrastructure within the affected public right of way with no obligation to replace them; and g. the property owner shall obtain all necessary permits for the encroachment from Toronto Building, if required.
