1.         City Council permanently close the public lane abutting 11 to 31 Widmer Street and 299 and 303 Adelaide Street West, shown as Parts 1, 2 and 3 on Sketch No. PS-2010-024 (the “Lane”), attached to the report dated February 19, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, subject to compliance with the requirements of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 162, and subject to City Council authorizing the sale of  a stratified interest in the Lane to Daniels HR Corporation (the “Applicant”).

2.         City Council authorize Transportation Services staff to give notice to the public of a proposed by-law to close the Lane in accordance with the requirements of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 162, with the Toronto and East York Community Council to hear any member of the public who wishes to speak to the matter during consideration of the proposed by-law.

3.         City Council authorize Transportation Services staff to advise the public of the proposed closure of the Lane prior to implementation, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Schedule “A+” activities, by posting notice of the proposed closure on the notices page of the City’s Web site for at least five working days prior to the Toronto and East York Community Council meeting at which the proposed by-law to close the Lane will be considered.

Transportation Services requests that the public lane abutting 11 to 31 Widmer Street and 299 and 303 Adelaide Street West be permanently closed.

The subject closing and sale of the Lane will not result in any costs to the City as the Applicant is required to pay all costs associated with the closing of the Lane.  Financial compensation will be realized from the sale of the Lane, as presently structured by staff.

Transportation Services recommends that:

1.         City Council authorize the permanent closure of the northeast corner of Lower Sherbourne Street shown as Part 1 on Sketch No. PS-2010-008 (the “Highway”), attached to the revised report dated March 4, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, subject to:

a.         easement interests for the easements required by Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, Enbridge Gas and any other utility provider, if necessary, having been declared surplus in accordance with City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 213 and authority having been granted to convey the easements to Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, Enbridge Gas and any other utility provider, if necessary, in and over the closed Highway for nominal consideration; and

b.         compliance with the requirements of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 162.

2.         City Council authorize Transportation Services staff to give notice to the public, after authority has been granted to convey the required easements to Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, Enbridge Gas and any other utility provider, if necessary, of a proposed by-law to close the Highway in accordance with the requirements of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 162, with the Toronto and East York Community Council to hear any member of the public who wishes to speak to the matter during consideration of the draft by-law.

3.         City Council authorize Transportation Services staff to advise the public of the proposed closure of the Highway prior to implementation, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Schedule “A+” activities, by posting notice of the proposed closure on the notices page of the City’s website for at least five working days prior to the Toronto and East York Community Council meeting at which the proposed by-law to close the Highway will be considered.

The East Bayfront Class EA Master Plan contemplates that Lower Sherbourne Street will be realigned with Dockside Drive, south of Queens Quay East, in order to improve the road network and eliminate a skewed intersection.  This new road alignment will also permit the future buildout of Sherbourne Park North, which requires the closure of a section of roadway generally located in the southeast portion of Lower Sherbourne Street for incorporation into Sherbourne Park North.

Transportation Services recommends that the southeast portion of Lower Sherbourne Street be permanently closed.

There are no financial implications for the City from the adoption of this report, as Waterfront Toronto (WT) will be responsible for all costs associated with the closure of the Highway.

The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
