A
We
also
acknowledge
that
Toronto's
covered
by
treaty,
thirteen
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit
for
the
benefit
of
those
who
are
connected
to
the
Internet,
the
city
clerk,
has
posted
all
of
the
agenda
materials
for
today
for
today's
meeting
at
Toronto,
CA
/
council
members,
we
have
a
presentation
this
morning
to
recognize
first
responders
for
the
2018
Yonge
Street
tragedy
in
the
downpour
tragedy.
I
would
like
to
call
camara
Tory
for
the
presentation.
B
They
were
traumatic
events
in
many
different
respects,
but
at
the
same
time
they
showed
us
the
very
best
of
the
city
in
terms
of
its
resilience
and
in
terms
of
its
coming
together,
but
also
showed
us
the
very
best
in
terms
of
the
professionalism
and
courage
of
and
compassion
of,
our
first
responders.
And
so
sometimes
while
these
things
seem
to
be
inadequate.
As
a
way
of
saying
thank
you,
we
did
think
it
was
important
to
bring
together
the
people
who
you
see
here
with
you
today
and
I
should
point
out.
B
They
represent
imparted
me
in
many
cases,
not
all
of
the
people
who
were
active
in
both
on
both
the
days
of
those
two
traumatic
events,
the
Yonge
Street
tragedy
and
the
Danforth
occurrence.
But
in
the
days
following
where
there
were
many
things
that
happened,
that
required
the
service
of
our
first
responders
and
we
thought
that
we
could
get
those
who
could
be
here
today
and
I'm
most
gratified
I'm
sure
on
your
behalf
as
well,
that
they
are
able
to
be
here
so
that
we
could
thank
you
to
them.
B
We
see
the
Chiefs,
often
in
the
course
of
our
duties
here,
but
we
don't
see
many
of
you
as
often
in
a
group
like
this,
representing
the
others
who
couldn't
be
here
with
us
today.
All
of
you
who
continuously
dedicate
yourselves
to
serving
our
city.
We
take
the
time
today
to
properly
honor
our
first
responders,
who
were
there
when
two
traumatic
incidents
took
place
in
our
city
last
year.
B
The
Yonge
Street
tragedy
on
April,
the
23rd,
took
away
ten
innocent
lives
and
seriously
injured,
16
more
and,
of
course,
the
impact
of
that
event
went
way
beyond
even
those
people
in
the
particular
tragedies
that
befell
them.
Shortly.
After
that,
the
Danforth
shooting
on
July
22nd
caused
two
deaths
and
13
injuries
and
again
caused
a
certain
additional
trauma
for
the
community
and
for
the
people
who
live
in
the
city
that
goes
beyond
those
very
tragic
losses
of
life
and
injuries.
B
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
those
two
things
impacted
our
city
and
in
a
very
significant
way,
and
it
wasn't
just
the
city,
it
impacted
the
residents
of
the
city,
the
communities
of
the
city,
but
also
the
first
responders.
You
yourselves
and
those
of
your
colleagues
who
will
forever
remember
those
who
lost
their
lives
on
those
dark
days
as
well
as
those
whose
lives
were
changed
forever.
B
So
it
is
my
honor
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
on
the
City
Council
and
on
behalf
of
all
the
people
of
the
City
of
Toronto,
to
recognize
the
women
and
men
of
the
Toronto
Police
Service
Toronto
Fire
Services
Toronto
paramedic
services,
who
responded
to
these
two
tragic
events,
exhibiting
courage
and
compassion
for
our
residents
during
what
can
only
be
described
as
challenging
and
devastating
circumstances.
And
we
also
recognize
those
members
of
the
TTC
Transit
Enforcement
Unit,
who
stepped
up
and
responded
during
the
Yonge
Street
tragedy.
B
And
of
course,
there
were
many
civilian
responders
and
corporate
security
of
people,
especially
in
North
York
itself.
Who
responded
to
both
tragedies.
You
were
also
all
there
in
the
days
and
weeks
after
these
tragedies
standing
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
residents,
as
we
came
together
to
mourn
and
determined
as
ever,
to
make
sure
that
these
attacks
did
not
change
our
city
or
the
way
of
life
that
we
have
in
the
city.
B
B
As
mayor
and
like
my
colleagues
I'm
sure,
because
all
of
us
have
either
just
been
out
in
our
communities
or
have
been
out
even
more
face
to
face
with
on
a
ride-along,
and
we
see
the
professionalism
and
the
hard
work
and
the
patience
and
the
compassion
that
is
displayed,
you
know
we
don't
read
about
things
that
are
de-escalated
and
things
that
are
dealt
with
and
and
things
successfully
time
after
time
after
time
every
day.
But
we're
aware
of
it
and
we're
aware
of
the
efforts
that
you
make
to
keep
safe.
B
The
people
who
live
here
on
that
tragic
day
in
April
and
again
on
the
tragic
night
in
July,
the
safety
of
the
city
and
the
security
of
the
city.
The
well-being
of
the
city
in
many
different
ways
were
threatened
and
you
all
work
extraordinarily
hard
to
protect
the
city
and
to
protect
its
residents
on
those
occasions
and
in
the
days
that
followed
and
to
care
for
those
who
were
directly
and
indirectly
affected
by
those
traumatic
events.
B
Just
read
what
it
says
on
here
that
says:
city
of
Toronto,
the
mayor
and
members
of
Toronto
City
Council,
gratefully
recognized
the
members
of
the
Toronto
Police
Service,
who
responded
to
the
tragic
events
on
Yonge
Street
and
the
Danforth
in
2018,
demonstrating
courage
and
compassion
in
extenuating
circumstances.
Your
exemplary
service
and
dedication
to
duty
is
greatly
appreciated,
which
I
think
you'll
indicate
now
to
the
chief
and
subsequent
Chiefs
that
come
up.
Indeed,
it
is.
B
B
B
B
B
Hope
you
all
realize
those
who
are
here
from
the
services
that
last
one
was
for
you:
the
Chiefs,
get
lots
of
applause
lots
of
times.
That
was
for
you
and
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
being
here
today
and
for
your
service,
and
we
will
look
forward
as
we
all
do,
seeing
you
out
in
the
community
doing
what
you
do
well
all
the
time.
Thank
you
very,
very
much
with
your
indulgence.
Speaker
I
wanted
to
say
a
word
about
about
our
beloved
Toronto,
Raptors
and
yesterday's
celebration.
B
This
is
the
first
time
we've
met
as
a
City
Council,
since
the
Toronto
Raptors
won
the
NBA
championship
and
so
I
think.
We
should
rightfully
recognize
this
incredible
achievement,
as
we
did
yesterday
and
I.
Think
all
of
us
were
part
of
that
in
some
way
or
other,
but
I
think
it
is
worthy
of
recognizing
that
just
out
of
the
park.
B
Yesterday
we
saw
millions
of
people
come
out
to
celebrate
our
team
and
this
championship
and
we
saw
the
best
of
our
city,
and
then
there
was
a
scary
moment
that
police
acted
immediately
to
deal
with
and
I
know
that
concern
and
I.
Think
probably
a
lot
of
you
are
like
me
that
you
feel
angry
and
that
that
anger
still
prevails
this
morning
arising
out
of
the
reckless
actions
of
those
who
brought
firearms
to
this
celebration.
B
Maple
Leaf,
Sports,
&
Entertainment,
with
the
help
of
our
city
staff
and
Toronto
Police
and
the
Transit
Authority
they
had
three
days
to
plan
this
parade
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
involved
in
this
effort
because
it
was
an
extraordinary
effort,
especially
our
city
staff,
in
countless
departments,
including,
but
not
limited
to
transportation.
Ttc
Solid
Waste
Management,
the
Emergency,
Operations
Center
and,
of
course,
the
city
manager's
office
and
many
others
that
he
and
others
could
name.
But
it
was
an
extraordinary
team
effort.
I
think.
B
And
it's
so
good
that
so
many
of
them
are
here
because
I'm
sure
every
one
of
them
yesterday
was
was
called
into
duty.
Yet
again,
I
want
to
thank
our
first
responders,
the
police,
the
Toronto
Fire
Service,
the
paramedics
they
kept
our
city
safe
throughout
this
massive
event,
and
of
course
we
I
was
talking
to
some
of
the
transit
officers
this
morning
and
they
had
some
very
special
challenges
to
deal
with,
as
well
as
the
people
arrived
and
left
the
the
downtown
of
the
city.
B
This
was
a
massive
event,
the
likes
of
which
our
city
has
never
seen
before.
On
reflection,
I
think
you
will
agree
with
me
that
yesterday
was
another
watershed
day
in
the
evolution
of
our
great
city,
as
the
smaller
stage
of
the
Jurassic
park's,
where
we
saw
an
incredible
coming
together
of
Torontonians
from
all
walks
of
life,
gave
way
to
a
huge
outpouring
of
joy
and
happiness.
B
B
We
had
lots
of
chance
to
do
that
yesterday
and
I
hope
you
feel
we
did
it
in
a
suitable
manner,
but
also
to
say
thank
you
to
our
city
staff,
to
the
management
of
the
city
and
to
our
first
responders,
because
they
helped
to
make
sure
that
the
day
aside
from
that
one
very
jarring
incident
that
the
day
was
overall
an
extremely
successful
day.
That
I
think
did
the
city
proud
in
many
different
respects.
Thank
You,
speaker.
C
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
and
not
to
take
away
anything
from
the
Raptors
win
and
the
celebration
yesterday.
One
of
our
colleagues
has,
since
our
last
meeting
had
a
rather
wondrous
celebration
of
their
own
and
I
wanted
to
just
extend
my
heartfelt
congratulations
as
I'm
sure
you
all
would
to
councillor
Kristyn
wong-tam
for
the
arrival
of
of
their
baby,
her
and
her
partner.
As
far
as
baby,
Keon
and
I
welcome
to
the
club
of
sleepless
nights
and
worried.
But
congratulations.
A
D
A
Those
in
favor
carried
members
of
council.
We
have
the
following
administrative
inquiry
from
councillor
Fletcher
before
us
today:
administrative
inquiry
8.1
regarding
Union
Station
rail
corridor
signals
system
improvements.
The
answer
to
this
inquiry
was
distributed
with
your
supplementary
materials
yesterday
and
has
been
posted
on
the
city's
website.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
receive
the
inquiry
and
answer
for
information.
E
A
B
First
off
I
should
mention
a
speaker
that
we
had
the
meeting
at
the
North
York
Civic
Center,
and
this
is
something
that
we
initiated
in
the
last
term
and
we
had
a
meeting
a
very
successful
meeting
there
in
Scarborough.
We
had
this
meeting
in
North
York
and
it
is
something
that
I
would
hope
with
your
concurrence
that
we
would
continue
through
this
term
and
and
I
hope.
B
It
continues
for
many
years
to
come,
because
I
think
it
is
a
small
way
in
which
we
can
make
sure
that
the
functioning
of
government
is
more
easily
seen
by
some
people
who
live
in
different
parts
of
the
city
who
might
not
find
it
as
easy
to
get
to
City
Hall.
We
had
the
participation
of
some
of
the
members
of
the
community
council.
B
I
think
it
was
overall,
a
very
positive
experience
in
that
respect
alone,
and
so
it
is
something
that
we
will
do
again
later
this
year,
subject
to
it
being
a
convenient
time
and
place
to
do
so.
In
terms
of
the
substance
of
the
agenda
itself,
we
will
of
course
be
dealing
with
all
these
matters
as
we
go
forward
in
the
next
couple
of
days,
and
that
includes
bill
66.
B
It
includes
our
efforts
to
combat
firearms
in
the
city
and
a
plan
to
reimagine
the
Danforth
garage
into
a
an
incredible
multi-use
community
space,
which
I
think
is
something
very
exciting
for
the
city
and
also
included,
were
the
two
things
that
I've
designated
as
the
priority
items.
We
will
discuss
first
in
our
meeting
this
week,
which
are
the
discussions
with
the
province
concerning
transit,
which
are
important
discussions,
and
there
was
an
update
report.
B
Of
course,
that
was
in
front
of
us
and
now
in
front
of
you
to
discuss
and
federal
commitments
to
a
disaster
mitigation
in
the
city.
I
think
that
these
are
both
important
items
in
their
own
way,
the
transit
one
in
a
way,
more
obviously
than
the
disaster
mitigation,
but
I
think,
as
we
see
again
this
spring
and
you
sort
of
hate
to
say
that
it's
happened
again
the
spring.
But
you
see
flooding
problems.
B
B
In
light
of
the
fact
the
city
has
grown
and
in
light
of
the
evolution
of
the
weather
on
account
of
climate
change
and
I,
think
they
also
show
that,
when
there's
a
process
in
place
and
mutual
respect
and
a
willingness
to
work
together,
that
we
can
get
some
very
positive
things
done
for
the
people
of
the
City
of
Toronto,
working
with
the
other
governments
and
I
think
that's
an
important
illustration
for
us
all
as
well.
So
I'll
look
forward
to
debating
these
matters
in
the
in
the
coming
hours
and
days.
Madam
Speaker,
thank
you.
Thank.
A
F
Well,
thank
you
speaker
that
the
report
from
meeting
seven
of
the
Board
of
Health,
listed
on
the
agenda
of
council
be
presented
for
consideration
and
a
few
brief
comments
in
light
of
the
fact
that
it
has
been
a
very
busy
few
months
for
Public
Health
in
the
city
and
across
this
province,
and
it
was
indeed
a
busy
meeting
a
few
weeks
ago
here
at
the
Board
of
Health
and
as
many
in
this
chamber.
Well,
all
in
this
chamber,
I'm
sure
are
aware.
F
F
4,500
Canadians
died
of
overdoses
to
put
that
in
context
every
single
day
in
this
country,
11
people
are
dying
of
preventable
overdose
deaths
in
Ontario.
It
is
now
the
leading
cause
of
death
of
young
people
and
I
want
every
member
of
council
to
hear
this.
For
the
first
time
in
four
decades,
life
expectancy
in
Canada
is
going
down
not
up
for
the
first
time
in
four
decades,
life
expectancy
in
this
country
is
actually
going
down
because
of
overdose
deaths,
and
so
in
our
city
in
Toronto.
F
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
now
have
in
the
city
of
Toronto
one
of
the
most
comprehensive
overdose
Action
Plans
in
North
America.
We
developed
it
more
than
two
years
ago
and
every
single
day
our
city
of
Toronto
staff,
along
with
community
partners
and
other
frontline
health
providers
and
are
in
the
midst
of
what
is
truly
an
epidemic,
are
saving
lives.
We
have
one
site:
the
works,
it's
a
supervised
consumption
site
at
Victoria
and
Dundas.
F
In
18
months,
we've
had
50,000
people
use
that
site
in
845
overdoses
have
been
reversed,
City
of
Toronto
staff
have
reversed
on-site,
845
overdoses,
and
while
we
are
seeing
in
every
city
in
this
country
the
number
of
overdose
going
up
in
Toronto
last
year,
the
number
of
deaths
actually
went
down.
They
went
down
in
the
city.
Now
we
had
300
people
in
our
city
died
of
overdoses
last
year,
that
is
down
from
350.
The
year
before
so
has
the
crisis
abated?
F
It
is
not,
but
we
have
stemmed
the
time
while
paramedic
calls
are
going
up
for
overdoses.
The
number
of
people
dying
in
our
streets
is
going
down,
and
that
is
a
tribute
and
a
credit
not
just
to
our
staff
but
to
a
comprehensive
approach.
This
city
has
taken
on
treatment
and
prevention
and
on
harm
reduction.
In
fact,
we
now
have
mayors
and
city
councillors
from
Chicago
Philly,
Boston,
New
York
all
coming
to
Toronto
to
look
at
us.
We
have
become
a
world
leader
on
this
file
and
make
no
mistake.
F
Every
one
of
these
deaths
are
preventable
and
and
I
will
just
close
and
I'll
speak
very
frankly
with
members
of
council,
because
I've
been
speaking
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
about
the
overdose
crisis
since
I
got
elected
five
years
ago,
and
you
may
hear
it
in
my
voice.
I
am
so
exceptionally
tired
of
dealing
with
the
overdose
crisis.
I
am
so
exceptionally
tired
of
people.
I
know
dying.
I
was
at
a
memorial
last
week
for
somebody.
F
I
am
just
tired
of
the
fact
that
if
this
was
anything
other
than
illicit
drugs,
all
levels
of
government
would
have
put
an
end
to
this
health
epidemic
years
ago,
but
because
it's
drugs,
that
stigma
remains
until
I
encourage
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
read
the
report,
because
we
are
world
leaders
in
the
midst
of
what
has
become
a
North,
American
and
European
epidemic
in
this
city.
You
should
be
very
proud
of
the
work
that
we
collectively
are
doing
on.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
A
C
A
G
You
very
much
speaker
good
morning
that
the
report
from
meeting
father
of
economic
and
Community
Development
can
be
listed
on
the
agenda
for
council
be
presented
for
consideration.
I
would
just
like
to
highlight
speaker
a
two
specific
thing
and
picking
up
on
councillor
kreskis
comment
with
respect
to
paramedic
calls
going
up
and
so
on
through
the
overdose
crisis
that
the
city
is
facing,
I
want
to
draw
members
attention
to
EC
5.3,
which
is
the
Toronto
paramedic
service,
multiple
system
plan,
that's
presented
by
the
acting
chief.
G
This
is
an
important
document
because
it
really
highlights
the
fact
that,
as
you
know,
there
were
going
to
be
some
cuts
to
the
paramedic
service
and
that's
been
reverse.
It
would
have
had
a
dramatic
impact
with
respect
to
the
28
new
frontline
paramedic
FTEs.
That
worked
to
be
hired
speaker.
It's
really
important
in
terms
of
our
understanding
that
we've
seen
a
situation
where,
on
average,
the
increase
in
emergency
calls
to
paramedics
is
increasing
by
about
four
percent
annually.
G
The
other
fine
point
that
has
to
be
understood
as
well
is
that
the
men
and
women
who
are
working
in
our
paramedic
services
and
so
on
are
being
asked
to
work
extra
time
in
overtime.
That's
having
a
dramatic
impact
on
their
health
and
welfare.
Speaker,
we've
seen
a
situation
where
we
have
seen
an
increase
about
33
percent
in
terms
of
the
cost
of
the
hours,
and
so
on
that
they're
having
to
spend
higher
amount
of
time
working
and
about
55
percent.
We
saw
in
2017,
and
so
the
33
percent
was
over.
G
The
the
2017
numbers
and
I
think
this
is
extremely
important,
because
while
we
talk
about
not
having
enough
money
and
resources,
we
have
to
understand
what
the
impacts
will
be
to
our
community.
We
have
a
city
that
continues
to
expand,
continues
to
grow
demand
for
EMS
services
continues
to
to
increase,
and
we've
seen
that,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
take
really
seriously
and
we
have
to
find
the
resources
to
be
able
to
help
our
residents.
The
other
item
speaker
that
I'd
like
to
draw
two
members
attention
is
ec
5.1
three.
G
This
is
the
the
I
met
the
imagination,
manufacturing
innovation
and
technology
initiative
that
we
at
the
city
of
work
with
Oregon
companies.
In
terms
of
helping
to
create
the
tax
deferral
program,
the
economic
development
department
is
actually
introducing
a
new
point
system
that
will
assist
us.
This
is
designed
to
help
us
in
terms
of
creating
those
community
benefits
that
we
want,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
being
able
to
be
employed
with
respect
to
the
investment
that
we
put
into
these
organizations.
G
G
There
are
some
changes
that
have
been
made
with
staff
in
the
consideration
that
took
place
during
the
the
committee
I'm
happy
that
what
we
actually
have
in
front
of
us
speaker
will
help
bring
forward
more
community
benefits,
more
jobs
in
our
community,
more
families
will
benefit
and
I
think
that's
a
good
thing
for
our
community,
so
speaker,
I
present
the
Economic
Development
Report.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
H
H
If
you
read
closely
to
the
report
in
front
of
you,
if
I'm
reading
it
correctly
you're
looking
at
between
January
1st
and
December
31st
2020
city
staff
are
asking
for
24
million
dollars
to
run
this
program
now.
Admittedly,
the
program
has
expanded
by
about
a
hundred
crossing
guards.
There's
no
doubt
that
this
program
saves
lives,
prevents
injuries
and
ensures
the
safe
offloading
and
pickup
of
students
at
our
various
schools.
H
Although
staff
insists
that
the
program
is
more
neighborhood
based
than
school,
based,
you'll
also
see
embedded
in
the
report,
the
emotion
to
ask
local
school
boards
to
contribute
to
this
program.
There's
many
cost
share
programs
between
the
city
and
the
school
board,
including
student
patrician,
swimming
pools
playgrounds.
So
a
request
of
this
nature
is
not
that
for
the
line,
but
I
think
we
should
take
a
closer
look
at
this
item,
looking
at
not
just
the
cost,
but
how
will
be
managed
in
the
future?
H
There
are
various
warrants
that
have
to
be
met
for
crossing
guards
and
I
can
see
this
program
in
the
coming
years,
jumping
up
to
about
fifty
million
dollars.
If
the
current
demand
for
crossing
guards
across
our
city
continues.
So
I
I
urge
you
to
read
the
report.
That
is,
that
is,
with
this
item,
to
look
closely
at
the
numbers
and
to
engage
in
the
debate.
I
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
that
the
report
from
meeting
six
of
the
planning
and
Housing
Committee
listed
on
the
agenda
of
council
be
presented
for
consideration
and
I.
Do
want
to
highlight
one
item
that
it
is
here
in
front
of
us
and
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
two
of
the
items
that
didn't
make
it
to
Council,
but
I
think
are
extremely
important
and
we
should
mention
it
in
here.
The
first
one
is
the
policies
to
address
the
loss
of
dwelling
rooms.
I
You've
seen
regulations
around
secondary
suite
to
increase
that
supply,
but
here
in
front
of
you
today
is
an
issue
that
is
facing
many
of
you
in
your
own
communities
with
which
is
the
loss
of
dwelling
rooms,
some
of
the
most
affordable
stocks
that
we
have
in
our
city
right
now
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
protect
that
stock,
because
otherwise,
there's
no
way
we're
gonna
be
able
to
build
quick
enough
just
to
replace
what
we're
losing
in
certain
parts
of
the
city.
So
we
have.
I
The
committee
have
made
a
very
conscious
decision
that
at
the
same
time
that
we
need
to
create
a
policy
and
that
were
creating
policies
to
increase
the
supply
and
the
affordability
of
housing.
We
also
need
to
protect
the
stock
that
we
have
and
to
maintain
it
in
the
city,
and
that
is
why,
in
this
this
month,
this
committee
also
created
a
subcommittee.
We
have
an
engaged
committee.
Fortunately,
everybody
really
rolled
up
their
sleeves
to
work
hard
and
we've
created
a
subcommittee
to
deal
with
renovations.
I
Lots
of
you
are
also
having
people
being
evicted
from
some
again
of
the
most
affordable
units
out
there
and
we
need.
We
know.
We
understand
that
a
lot
of
these
regulations
are
provincial,
but
we
think
we
need
to
move
towards
and
a
more
aggressive
and
more
supportive
role
in
terms
of
the
city
and
we're
gonna
be
working
into
this.
We
believe
well
by
conversations
that
we've
had
with
this
nonprofit
sector.
I
There
are
thousands
of
people
currently
in
the
city
of
Toronto,
presented
with
this
scenario,
they're
about
to
get
renovated
and
that
we
need
to
work
with
them
to
see
how
we
can
better
assist
them,
and
the
other
issue
is
also
the
inclusionary
zoning.
We
had
a
discussion
about
the
draft
by
a
law.
It
is
now
under
consultation.
Actually,
most
of
the
consultations
will
be
happening
throughout
this
week
in
the
in
the
evenings
across
the
city.
You
probably
have
watched
the
very
good,
video
and
promotional
materials
that
our
planning
staff
have
put
out.
I
I
We're
not
putting
our
hands
down
we're
continue
the
conversations
we
need
to
have
a
robust
draft
bylaw
that
we
we
can
present
to
the
province
and
let
them
know
that
we're
doing
our
work
and
we
need
that
implement
it
now
not
later,
so
that
that
is
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
at
Planning
and
Housing
and
I
put
that
I
bring
that
to
your
attention.
Thank
you.

767
residents
of
Leslie
ville
say
we.
The
undersigned
residents
have
learned
about
disturbing
changes
to
Toronto's
crossing
guard
program
on
August
1st
2019.
The
City
of
Toronto
will
hand
the
program
over
to
private
contractors.
None
of
the
current
crossing
guards
have
been
guaranteed
positions
for
the
September
2019
school
year.
We
are
concerned
about
the
safety
of
our
children
and
request
that
the
crossing
guards
employed
under
the
current
program
be
assured
of
the
option
of
holding
on
to
their
locations
and
their
jobs.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
members
I
will
not
review
the
order
paper.
The
mayor
has
designated
item
e^x
6.4,
headed
federal
disaster
mitigation
adaptation
fund,
update
an
item
E
X
6.5
headed
status,
update
Toronto
Ontario
Transit
responsibilities,
realignment
review
as
this
key
matters
for
this
meeting.
These
will
be
our
first
and
second
item
of
business.
Today
notices
emotions
are
scheduled
to
be
dealt
with
at
2:00
p.m.
tomorrow.
A
Only
if
the
mayor's
key
matters
are
completed,
I
propose
that
city
council
set
a
time
for
a
closed
session
if
required
later
in
the
meeting
members
before
I
review
member
holds
I
wish
to
make
a
ruling
on
item
T
6.6
1
regarding
Road
Safety
at
the
intersection
of
bleed
street
Bathurst
Street
and
lakeshore
Boulevard
West.
This
item
has
been
submitted
to
Council
without
recommendation
pending
a
report
from
the
general
manager
transportation
services.
This
matter
relates
to
permanent
road
closure.
A
permanent
road
closure
requires
notice
to
the
public
and
the
opportunity
to
be
heard.
A
A
committee
no
notice
was
provided
on
this
item.
As
a
result,
I
am
ruling
item
T
6.6
1
out
of
order.
The
item
will
be
resubmitted
to
the
Toronto
kneestr
Community
Council.
For
its
June
25th
meeting,
so
that
notice
can
be
given
the
general
manager
transportation
services
will
be
pork
to
the
Toronto
East
York
Community
Council.
On
this
matter.
A
The
city
clerk
has
noted
the
items
that
members
wish
to
hold
I
will
now
go
to
the
items
listed
on
the
order
paper
to
take
additional
holds.
I
will
recognize,
requests
to
make
matters
urgent
and
time
specific
after
I
go
through
the
items
for
additional
holds.
Once
your
the
paper
has
been
approved
by
council,
any
change,
we
need
a
two-thirds
vote
page
three.
D
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
just
want
to
raise
actually
a
point
of
order
on
e^x
six
point:
seven,
because
it's
a
reiteration
of
previous
council
decisions
on
it
and
it's
an
amalgam
of
several
different
policy
initiatives.
I
just
like
to
indicate
to
you
that
I
may
be
requesting
to
vote
separately
on
the
items
and
I'm
gonna
work
with
the
clerk's
to
sort
that
out.
But
my
votes
I
want
to
make
sure
that
my
current
vote
is
consistent
with
the
previous
ones.
Okay,.
L
C
C
C
F
D
A
C
G
Thank
you
very
much
speaker
EC,
five
point,
eight
and
five
point:
nine
I
simply
have
two
motions,
which
is
basically
asking
staff
to
review
these
grant
programs.
That's
the
intention
of
the
motions
and
staff
has
actually
concurred.
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
has
any
interest
in
holding
any
of
these.
Do
you
okay,
then
I'll
continue
holding
then
because
deputy
mayor
Holliday
has.
I
So
I'd
like
to
hold
II,
see
5.10
support
to
the
inaugural
Toronto
finale
20
Knights
move.

That's
okay,
it
just
did
there's
a
we've.
Come
up
with
kind
of
a
new
approach
to
deal
with
some
of
the
section
37
matters
I'll
get.
It
may
be
too
late
for
that
with
respect
to
affordable
housing
in
order
to
lump
money
together
so
that
we
can
actually
start
getting
in
the
business
building,
affordable
housing
with
that
section,
37
money,
hey.

Emotions
about
the
order
paper
carries
unanimously
26
in
favor.
Thank
you.
Members
of
council
I
want
to
stress
the
importance
of
preparing
emotions
in
advance.
The
clerk
staff
are
here
to
help
you
prepare
your
emotions
in
particular.
If
you
intend
to
move
emotion
during
the
release
of
holds,
I
would
insist
that
your
motion
be
prepared
in
advance
and
given
to
the
clerk.
If
you
do
not
have
your
motion
ready,
I
will
not
recognize.
You
I'm
also
reminding
members
that
you
must
state
your
motion.
First
before
you
speak
to
it.
A
Remember,
city
council
follows
a
routine
for
the
processing
and
adding
of
any
motions
without
notice
during
the
meeting.
Please
remember
that
emotion
without
notice
must
include
a
reason
for
urgency.
If
you
have
an
urgent
motion
without
notice,
you
wish
to
bring
forward
at
this
meeting.
Please
give
your
motions
to
the
City
Clerk's
down.
They
will
prepare
the
necessary
procedure.
Motion
for
my
review,
along
with
your
motion.
The
chair
must
agree.
The
motion
is
urgent.
A
Before
you
can
speak
leap
to
introduce
it
at
this
meeting,
it
will
require
18
votes
to
add
a
motion
without
notice
to
to
the
agenda.
During
this
meeting.
Motions
added
to
the
agenda
in
this
way
are
not
subject
to
a
vote.
To
waive
referral
to
a
committee
or
agency
I
will
be
reviewing
all
motions
carefully
and
will
vice
counsel
apt.
Each
recess,
which
motions
need
a
motion
to
add
to
the
agenda.
We
will
now
go
to
the
mayor's
key
item.
Ex6
a
6.4
as
the
first
item.
F
F
F
R
R
F
R
N
F
C
F
Then
a
final
question:
I
guess
to
the
city
manager's
office,
if
Council,
given
that
we
will
not
have
council
considering
mitigation
measures
long
term
for
the
island
until
this
fall
and
given
that
the
application
process
forth
to
federal
funding
may
also
be
this
fall.
How
do
we
provide
some
direction
to
ensure
that
we
prioritize
flooding
along
the
waterfront
in
the
islands
for
the
next
round.
R
R
F
R
H
R
R
J
Who
you
met?
Madam
speaker,
the
two
reports
in
front
of
you
are
strong
water,
specific
projects
of
which
we
had
planned
to
fully
financed
through
our
Toronto
water
capital
reserve.
So
it
does
give
us
the
opportunity
to
reallocate
that
money
back
into
the
basement.
Flooding
program
and
staff
are
looking
at
whether
we
can
accelerate
other
projects
now
so.
H
J
Very
honest
because
that's
that's
correct,
and
these
in
this
specific
number
and
in
these
two
cases
is
about
a
hundred
million
dollars
of
federal
funding
which
will
be
returned
back
to
us.
We'll
have
to
look
at
the
timing
of
that
when
we
will
be
able
to
free
up
that
cash
flow.
It
will
give
us
the
opportunity,
then
perhaps
move
some
projects
forward
that
right
now
we're
sitting
a
bit
later
in
our
basement
flooding
program.
So
that
is
the
way
that
we
are
looking
at
the
analysis
right
now.
So.
H
J
My
speaker,
you
could
potentially
add
to
the
mix
if
the
projects
have
moved
to
a
sufficient
stage
that
they
meet
the
eligibility
criteria.
Those
two
particular
projects
that
you
mentioned
that
were
unsuccessful
in
this
round.
We
believe
from
a
criteria
basis
are
still
solid
projects
and
we
would
put
them
back
into
the
process.
It
was
a
timing
issue
of
when
construction
would
start.
That
was
the
only
issue
that
we
had
with
with
the
application
process,
so.
H
J
Through
three,
you
speaker,
the
total
amount
that
was
approved
is
a
hundred
million
dollars.
We
know
that
number.
That's
those
two
report
reports
that
are
in
front
of
you
today
they
Medrano
and
at
fairbanks
Silverthorne.
If
you're
asking
what
would
have
been
potentially
the
total
ask,
we
could
give
you
that
number.
It
is
in
a
confidential
attachment.
Someone
can
add
up
the
six
projects
and
we
can
tell
you
what
we
asked
for,
but
we
only
received
the
hundred
million
right
now.
Okay,.
A
M
Carol,
yes,
just
a
quick
question:
I
apologize
if
it's
already
been
asked,
because
I
had
a
little
bit
of
business
with
staff
before
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
can
separate
out
for
me
the
basement,
flooding
program
from
the
wet
weather
flow.
Now
that
we
have
a
fund,
that's
federal
that
really
we
can
put
both
of
those
projects
and
are
you
still
reporting
to
Infrastructure
Committee
separately
on
those
two
programs
very.
J
Much
speaker
yes,
we
are.
We
still
distinguish
the
difference
between
those
two
programs.
In
fact,
the
Fairbanks
Silverthorne
project
actually
gives
you
benefits
on
both
programs.
So
the
way
we've
allocated
the
funding
in
the
Toronto
water
capital
program,
there
is
a
significant
contribution
from
basement
flooding,
but
there's
also
the
ability
for
us
to
address
some
of
the
combined
sewer
overflows.
A
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
there's
a
couple
of
combined
sewer
overflows
on
the
Black
Creek
area
of
our
city,
of
which
we're
going
to
address
with
this
project
as
well.
J
M
M
J
Very
speaker,
yes,
we
did
bring
an
update
report
to
our
committee.
I
believe
it
was
back
in
May
of
2017,
where
we
did
give
an
update
to
the
program.
How
much
money
was
spent
where
we're
at
with
our
objectives.
Fact
we
do
have
a
council
request
to
report
back
on
where
we're
at
with
some
of
our
larger
projects
and
an
opportunity
to
accelerate
some
of
the
benefits
for
the
combined
sewer
project.
So
you,
you
will
be
seeing
a
staff
report
coming
through
committee
and
council.
O
J
J
O
J
Don't
know
right
offhand,
but
it
was.
It
was
designed
for
a
much
smaller
storm
event:
we've
remodeled
it
based
on
council's
upgrading
to
a
hundred
year
storm
event,
which
means
we
have
to
more
than
double
the
size
of
the
existing
tank
that
we
have
there.
So
that's
going
to
be
the
big
piece
of
construction,
along
with
the
the
construction
of
the
sewer,
which
will
go
up
through
some
local
neighborhoods,
so.
O
J
That's
correct:
they
worked
hand-in-hand
because
one
will
flow
into
the
other,
but
when
you
look
at
it
from
an
infrastructure
standpoint
and
and
where
we
will
be
doing
the
work,
there's
going
to
be
one
large
area,
that'll
be
fenced
in
that'll,
be
the
sports
field,
we'll
have
to
take
it
out
of
service
for
a
couple
years.
While
we
build
a
tank
and
then
replace
the
sports
field
back
on
top
of
it,
and
then
there
will
be
the
construction
of
the
sewer
that
will
go
up
into
the
local
community
and
go
on
some
local
roads.
So.
O
J
This
one
is
tied
specifically
to
the
rain
events
that
we've
been
seeing
and
where
that
rain
goes
within
that
community
it
it
is
located
in
the
part
of
the
city
that
does
not
have
a
direct
outlet
to
a
nearby
river
and
so
in.
In
many
other
other
communities.
The
storm
sewer
systems
quickly
bring
that
storm
water
to
a
creek
or
a
river
in
Midtown
Toronto
that
was
never
built,
and
so
what
we're
doing
is
building
infrastructure
that
will
help
us
channel
that,
through
sewers,
take
that
storm
water
to
the
Don
River
and.
O
J
It's
tied
to
basement
flooding
the
biggest
concern
that
we
have
with
with
these
types
of
projects.
As
soon
as
we
overload
the
storm
sewer
system,
we
overload
the
sanitary
sewer
system
right
behind
it.
That
causes
then
the
flooding
in
basements,
so
people
get
sewage
backing
up
in
basements
because
we've
overwhelmed
all
of
the
system,
and
then
you
all
have
the
overland
flow
issue
on
top,
where
many
of
the
homes,
if
they
have
reverse
loke
driveways
or
if
they
built
a
basement
access
doorways,
the
overland
flow
will
go
right
into
the
basement.
J
O
J
Is
correct
in
the
long
term
there's
an
accumulative
effect
if
you
don't
address
these
issues,
so
that's
why
we've
been
tackling
them
local
community
by
local
community,
because
if
we
just
allowed
it
to
continue
to
happen,
we
will
we
will
continue
to
see
degradation
of
the
environment
and
discharging
into
our
creeks
and
rivers.
This
will
lessen
some
of
that.
Okay.
Thank
you.
M
Yes,
councillor
Pasternak
is
preparing
his
motion
and
says
counselor,
Pasternak
and
I
have
are
both
very
familiar
with
basements
life.
He
asked
me:
it
spend
some
time.
I
read
this
report:
I'm,
not
a
member
of
the
Infrastructure
Committee
but
and
I
read
this
report
to
check
on
some
things,
I'm
forever
concerned,
because,
as
people
arrive
at
the
game
of
helping
us
with
that
app
tation
a
mitigation
of
climate
change,
events
federal
governments
now
come
to
help
us
on
the
things
that
have
been
costing
us
so
much
money.
M
There
again
I,
look
in
every
report
on
this
to
make
sure
that
we're
still
following
the
criteria
that
we
consider
them
all
and
we
prioritize
them
all
based
on
bang
for
our
buck
and
how
we
get
bang
for
our
buck
is
every
once
in
a
while
checking
in
on
all
of
the
areas
where
we
need
to
do
this
work
and
the
criteria
is
the
line
itself.
If
it's
a
trunk
line
project,
is
it
about
to
fail,
but
mostly
how
many?
M
How
many
homes
in
this
area
are
gonna,
be
impacted
positively
and
no
longer
have
to
worry
about
basement
flooding.
So
we
prioritize
it
in
such
a
way
that
sometimes
your
neighborhoods
will
move
up
and
down
the
list,
because
suddenly
you
are
no
longer
the
priority
and
extreme
storm
comes
along
and
our
infrastructure
is
tested
and
some
project
further
up
on
the
line
has
improved
your
neighborhood,
even
though
we
haven't
done
the
project
in
your
neighborhood,
and
so
the
priority
has
to
be
checked
in
on
from
time
to
time.
It's
great
to
have
the
federal
funds.
M
It
means
that
all
of
the
projects
being
considered
can
be
done
in
a
more
timely
fashion,
perhaps
not
perfect,
but
more
timely,
and
we
finally
have
the
help
we
should
be
getting
from
another
order
of
government,
but
we
still
have
the
work
to
do
ourselves
to
look
at
our
own
data
to
to
debrief
from
every
extreme
event
so
that
we
know
that
we're
prioritizing
to
get
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
and
that's
what
I
see
happening
in
the
analysis
of
where
to
spend
the
federal
funds
and
so
support
the
staff
recommendations.
Thank
you.
H
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
Speaker
I
have
a
have
a
motion
just
for
the
city
manager
to
give
some
consideration
to
the
great
problems
we're
having
in
the
Downs
food
catchment
area
and
also
related
to
the
Humber
River
Hospital
stormwater
pond
system
and
surrounding
neighborhoods,
and
just
asking
the
city
manager
to
give
some
consideration
to
that
major
project
for
federal
funding
and
we've
been
working,
I
guess.
H
Since
I
inherited
this
area,
we've
been
working
with
local
residents
to
bring
attention
to
the
enormous
problem
we
have
in
extreme
weather
situations
around
the
Humber
River
Hospital
and
the
stormwater
pond
that
was
built
in
the
area.
The
pond
itself
has
not
been
able
to
handle
major
rainfalls.
It
subsequently
overflows
into
an
unbuilt
culvert
along
the
401
and
then
spills
over
into
local
neighborhoods.
H
The
residents
in
the
area
of
had
their
properties
severely
damaged,
they've
run
out
of
opportunities
to
until
fire
insurance
claims
and,
of
course,
we've
been
trying
to
bring
infrastructure,
Ontario
and
the
provincial
government
to
the
table.
We
had
a
very
successful
Town
Hall
recently
with
the
local
MPP
is
Roman
barber,
who
is
also
very
determined
to
get
this
fixed
infrastructure
Ontario
seems
very
open
to
redesigning
the
stormwater
ponds
and
upgrading
them.
I.
H
The
sits
at
the
northern
part
of
the
city
to
the
wet
east
of
the
boundary
lands.
Hundreds
of
homes
were
were
severely
damaged
in
rainfalls
in
2013,
2014
and,
of
course,
in
August
of
2018
and
I.
Think.
The
only
way
that
this
can
be
solved
is
almost
on
the
American
model,
which
I
guess
originally
originated
with
the
New
Deal,
where
Washington
was
very
involved
in
infrastructure
projects
in
municipalities,
which
has
not
really
been
the
Canadian
Canadian
tradition,
where
municipalities
are
quite
divided
from
the
other
levels
of
government.
H
But
that
being
said,
a
fund
that
that
is
available
to
us
provided
there's
continuity
with
this
funding
and
is
not
cut
off
with
the
election
of
a
new
government
in
the
fall.
We
would
hope
that
any
any
change
in
government
in
Ottawa
will
continue
to
keep
these
commitments
and
help
municipalities
upgrade
the
infrastructure
that
will
protect
the
homes
and
neighborhoods
across
the
city
and
across
other
cities
in
Ontario.
Thank
you.
F
A
O
Thank
You
speaker
I,
certainly
concur
with
my
northern
colleague
councillor
Pasternak,
who
shares
some
of
the
same
concerns.
As
you
have
I
remember.
When
you
were
the
mayor
of
York,
where
you
had
serious
issues
with
the
combined
sewers,
the
flooding,
it
was
probably
the
most
common
complaint.
The
citizens
had,
besides
the
front
yard
parking
complaints.
O
This
was
number
two,
but
I
would
just
still
like
to
commend
staff
and
support
this
report,
because
this
is
a
bit
of
a
new
approach
to
funding
infrastructure
and
I'd
like
to
commend
the
federal
government
for
undertaking
this
new
approach
whereby,
if
they
can't
get
cooperation
from
a
provincial
government
and
helping
the
fund
this
infrastructure,
they
are
partnering.
With
the
municipalities
like
Toronto
in
building
sewers,
I
know
it
make
front-page
news.
The
media
is
not
interested
in
sewers,
but
I'll
tell
you.
O
The
people
in
the
City
of
Toronto
have
flooded
basements
on
a
regular
basis,
more
and
more
frequent
because
of
the
extreme
weather
events.
They
do
care
about
their
sewers,
because
when
you
get
flooding,
it's
not
a
matter
of
just
eliminating
the
sewage
and
the
waste.
That's
in
your
house,
but
it's
a
major
cost,
because
the
overflow
causes
huge
impacts
on
the
creation
of
mildew
and
fungus
in
your
basement.
O
So
the
building
of
these
water
retention,
tanks,
which
is
happening
here
with
the
Midtown
sewer,
is
also
ensuring
that
that
sewage,
overflow,
the
overflow
of
our
sewage
system,
doesn't
end
up
in
our
drinking
water.
So
it
is
a
critical
investment
in
the
water
we
drink
in
the
protection
of
the
homes
of
our
residents,
and
it
is
something
that
we
need
to
do
more
of
and
again
and
I.
Guess
it's
the
thousands
of
homes
in
Midtown
which
will
now
be
protected
from
the
these
reoccurring.
O
Events,
they're
very
thankful,
but
I
think
we
all
have
to
be
thankful
because
we
all
drink
water
from
Lake
Ontario.
So
we
don't
need
more
runoff
of
sewage
into
Lake
Ontario,
which
is
occurring
when
these
extreme
weather
events
occur.
So
again,
I
fully
support
this
staff
for
putting
their
money
where
their
mouth
is,
and
the
thanks
to
the
partnership
from
the
federal
government
and
putting
huge
amounts
of
130
million
dollars
it
takes
just.
O
This
is
just
in
one
part
of
Midtown
and,
as
you
know,
the
fair
bank
investment
you
were
interested
in
is
critically
needed
there.
So
it's
not
just
one
part
of
the
city,
so
sewers
do
matter,
and
you
know
we
all
love
to
see
the
playgrounds
and
the
beautiful
parks
and
streets
and
all
in
the
wonderful
buildings.
But
we've
got
to
pay
more
attention.
As
we
are
with
this
initiative,
we've
got
to
pay
more
attention
to
what's
under
the
ground.
O
What's
in
our
sewers,
because
that
is
an
essential
infrastructure
that
doesn't
get
the
attention
we
deserve
and
I
think
as
much
as
we
spend
so
much
attention
and
capital
dollars
on
transit.
It's
about
time.
We
start
to
pay
more
attention
to
our
sewers
and
roads
and
not
spend
11
billion
dollars
on
a
mystery
project,
so
called
the
mystery
Ontario
relief
line.
There.
E
Think
we
may
have
slowed
down
on
that
in
that
idea
that
individual
citizens
at
their
home
not
only
can
help
by
using
looking
at
reducing
their
amount
of
heat.
They
use
the
amount
of
cooling
they
use,
have
a
tree
outside
the
house,
insulate
your
home,
so
you're,
not
creating
so
many
GHGs,
but
an
individual
homeowner,
an
individual
business,
an
individual
business
park
or
or
employment
area.
E
Can
look
at
how
to
manage
and
treat
water
prior
to
it,
making
it
into
the
sewer
and
I
think
that
there's
less
of
us
now
in
this
council
chamber
and
many
people
did
have
that
as
a
real
passion
in
trying
to
keep
that
on
the
front
burner.
So
the
torch
has
been
passed
to
this
City
Council
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
have
programs
that
keep
water
out
of
the
sewer,
because
we
next
time
we
can't
be
building
the
next
big
Tunnel,
the
next
big
tunnel.
We
have
to
do
that.
E
So
it's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
know
councillor
perks,
myself,
councillor
Leighton
and
others.
We
just
don't
support
paving
over
your
front
lawn
in
order
to
be
able
to
park
there,
the
city's
already
paved
to
that
Street.
It's
there.
It's
not
getting
torn
up
park
on
that
street,
not
on
your
front
lawn
and
therefore
turn
down
application
after
application,
because
what
happens
is
that
those
parts
of
the
city
that
are
particularly
prone
to
flooding
end
up
with
simply
nowhere
for
any
of
that
rainwater
to
go
nowhere
for
it
to
go.
E
It
goes
on
the
street.
It
goes
in
the
sewer
it
overflows
take
CSO
into
the
lake
and
I
support
this
approach,
but
it
also
supports
that
non
structural
approach
that
Dan
Leckie
and
Cora
councillor
Corwin
Kachinsky,
put
together
1996
and
went
through
Metro,
wet
weather
flow
master
plan.
We
need
to
go
back
to
those
principles
and
apply
them
everywhere,
so
constituents
aren't
happy
when
they
hear
well.
I'm.
Sorry,
I,
don't
support
you
paving
your
front
yard,
but
it'll
be
green,
but
it'll.
Be
this
but
it'll.
E
A
B
Madam
Speaker,
thank
you.
I'll
just
speak
briefly
and
I
want
to
associate
myself
with
the
remarks
of
both
councillors,
Cole
and
Fletcher,
without
getting
into
the
kind
of
ward
by
Ward
aspect
of
this,
but
I
think
both
some
of
the
kinds
of
changes
in
personal
behavior.
If
I
can
call
it
that
that
councillor
Fletcher
was
referring
to
are,
are
called
for
here
and
I.
Think
sometimes
it
looks
like
we
take
our
eye
off
the
ball
in
terms
of
things.
We
could
do
not
government
but
individuals
to
try
and
make
a
difference
on
this.
B
I
made
this
a
priority
item,
because
I
really
feel
that,
while
it
really
is
just
giving
us
the
authorization
to
to
advocate
and
to
accept
funding
that
will
come
from
the
federal
government
and
I'll
come
back
to
that.
It's
also
important
to
keep
the
awareness
on
this
issue.
It
was
something
that
I
felt
sufficiently
strongly
about
in
another
slightly
different,
but
very
much
related
aspect.
That's
been
referred
to
by
I
think
by
councillor
Cole.
That
I
have
taken
the
initiative
to
ask
our
very
capable
staff,
led
by
mr.
B
G
Geronimo,
to
try
and
speed
up
our
efforts
to
invest,
as
we
had
planned
on
doing
as
a
city
council
in
ten
years,
instead
of
in
20
years
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
stage
in
ten
years.
In
2028,
where
we
can
say
we
no
longer
even
in
the
worst
of
department
stores
is
brought
about
by
climate
change,
are
dumping
raw
sewage
into
the
lake.
There
really
is
no
excuse
for
that
in
2019,
let
alone
2028,
and
you
know
we
can
make
the
investments
we
had.
B
B
Who
said
well
the
real
problem-
and
it
was
being
explained
to
me
by
the
people
who
are
doing
the
work
on
some
of
the
basement-
flooding
sewer
projects
at
that
time
in
Midtown.
That
part
of
the
problem
was
we
allowed
over
and
over
and
over
again
for
infill
housing
to
be
built
and
much
bigger
housing
than
it
was
replacing
and
had
failed
to
make
any
changes
or
even
take
into
account
our
responsibility
to
oversee
changes
in
the
course
of
that
time,
and
so
it
stood
to
reason.
B
These
houses
that
had
a
lot
more
bathrooms
had
a
lot
more
solid
surfaces
were
just
bigger
in
nature,
we're
going
to
contribute
to
a
dramatically
increased
runoff
and
that
the
sewer
system
in
those
neighborhoods
just
couldn't,
handle
it.
And
then
you
ended
up
with
the
sewers
backing
up,
and
you
know
you
only
have
to
talk
to
somebody
once
and
hear
them
talk
about
how
the
fact
they've
made
three
or
for
insurance
claims
and
then
been
told
by
the
insurance
companies.
Plural.
B
They
can't
get
any
more
insurance
to
understand
that
when
it
costs
thousands
of
dollars
on
each
of
these
claims
that
they
no
longer
can
have
insured
and
ruins
their
stuff
and
causes
them
dislocation
that
something
is
seriously
wrong.
The
second
instance,
which
the
speaker
will
know
very
well,
is
when
I
went
out
to
her
area
after
the
flooding
of
I.
B
Guess
was
just
last
summer,
and
you
know
it
was
inconceivable
to
me
that
you
could
see
this
big,
a
spillway
there
that
was
built
in
the
60s
I
suppose
in
the
aftermath
of
Hurricane
Kazon,
all
the
investment
that
was
made
at
that
time,
and
there
we
look
down.
Probably
10
or
12
feet
from
the
top
of
it
and
the
morning
after
two
morning's
after
the
storm,
it
was
empty,
a
little
trickle
of
water.
B
B
That
can
be
the
case
here
and
we've
got
to
create
awareness
of
the
fact
that
personal
behavior,
some
of
the
rules
we
have
in
place,
are
there
for
a
very
good
reason.
Finally,
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
a
great
example,
as
I
said
in
my
remarks
introducing
the
executive
committee
report
of
governments
working
together.
This
is
a
good
program
brought
in
by
the
federal
government
we've
applied.
We've
received
money.
B
B
shear
I
will
be
seeking
their
assurances
as
I
did
at
the
time
the
last
federal
election
that
these
are
the
kinds
of
programs
they
will
be
maintaining
in
place,
if
not
extending
and
expanding,
because
they're
good
programs
for
the
City
of
Toronto
and
they're
good
programs
for
addressing
the
real
effects
of
climate
change,
which
are
something
that
are
staring
us
in
the
face
every
single
day
and
that
we
have
to
deal
with
Thank
You.
Speaker.
Thank.
E
A
C
A
D
Madam
Speaker,
it
was,
it
was
recently
reported
in
the
in
the
Toronto
Star
that
the
city
had
approached
the
province
about
a
potential.
Fourth
subway
stop
as
part
of
the
the
Bloor
extension,
the
proposed
blur
extension
and
I'm
curious
to
understand
under
under
whose
authority
was
that
approved,
because
my
understanding
and
again
this
is
without
a
tutorial
about
my
position
on
it.
It's
well
known.
The
fact
is:
is
that
councils
position
is
that
it
is
a
one-stop
subway.
So
under
whose
authority
did
the
city
approach
the
province?
K
Through
the
chair
as
part
of
the
information
exchange
with
the
province,
the
city
and
the
TTC
have
been
working
with
them
to
share
previous
information
on
the
different
projects.
That
includes,
in
the
case
of
the
line
to
extension
potential
station
and
in
Brimley.
This
is
part
of
the
information
we're
exchanging
with
them
and
then
evaluating
through
a
network
and
a
ridership
lens,
and
that's
how
that
one
came
about
and.
R
K
R
D
R
D
Would
I
stood
understand,
though,
is
when
those
of
us
who
still
wished
for
the
LRT
to
be
considered
that
there
be
a
cost-benefit
analysis
to
be
considered
it
was.
It
was
told
to
us
by
city
staff
that
they
had
been
specifically
directed
by
counsel,
that
they
could
not
consider
anything
other
than
what
counsel
directed
them
to
do,
which
is
to
go
and
build
a
one-stop
subway.
With
that
understanding,
how
is
it
that
that
staff
city
staff
even
approached
the
consideration
of
anything
other
than
a
one-stop
subway,
so.
R
D
R
D
R
R
A
R
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
would
not
be
able
to
councillor
Matt
Lowe,
give
you
chapter
and
verse
question
1
question
5
question
6.
What
we
are
doing
is
working
through
an
information
exchange
on
the
very
the
two
lines.
In
particular.
The
provinces
proposed
Ontario
line,
and
the
line
to
East
extension
is.
R
D
R
A
R
N
Through
the
speaker,
MTO
Ministry
of
Transportation
has
made
a
series
of
information
requests
for
baseline
documents
about
the
TTC
existing
subway
infrastructure.
That
does
include
things
like
operating.
Manuals
has
been
requested,
including
background
information
on
the
existing
projects,
and
the
other
piece
to
that
is
the
asset
condition
inspection
that
they
have
also
requested
to
undertake,
and
that's
something
that
is
being
organized
right
now.
Callister
call
questions.
O
O
What
is
the
name
or
the
technology
in
the
mystery
line,
the
relief?
What
does
the
they
release
that
secret
information
to
us?
What's
the
technology?
Is
that
maglev?
Is
it
submarines?
What
is
it?
That's
gonna
be
in
the
relief
line
through
you,
madam
chair.
The
specific
technology
has
not
been
identified,
but
I
can
give
you
some
characteristics
that
are
very
similar
to
that
of
which
the
TTC
was
proposing.
We
know
that
this
system
has
automatic.
Train
control
would
have
platform
edge
doors
as
well
as
looking
at
automation.
O
So
there's
a
lot
of
similarities
other
than
their
system
appears
to
be
a
little
smaller,
but
the
specifics
on
technology.
We
do
not
have
that
at
this
time.
No,
but
I
mean
they've,
got
to
I,
can't
believe
it
they
they
haven't
told
you
is
that
maglev
is
that
the
the
new
cars
that
they're
using
in
Vancouver?
O
K
The
chair,
Metrolinx
has
not
specifically
told
us
what
type
of
technology,
but
we
do
know
that
they
are
talking
about
a
automated
light.
Rail
or
an
advanced
light.
Rail
operation
with
Rail
trains
or
running,
is
similar
to
what
we
have
today,
perhaps
somewhat
narrower
and
perhaps
so
much
shorter,
but
fundamentally
a
rail
transit
service
as
we
we
would
have
conceived
of
ourselves.
Yeah.
O
K
Had
through
the
chair,
they
have
been
pretty
clear
that
they
have
not
decided
on
the
specific
manufacturer
or
the
specific
model
of
Trane.
We
presume
that
they
would
leave
that
up
to
the
proponent
of
the
of
the
line
to
develop.
They
want
to
keep
it
apparently
fairly
open
to
meet
a
general
performance
specifications.
It
would
be
a
rail
system,
the
exact
details
of
which
I
don't
think
they
know,
and
we
do
not
know
now.
O
O
Interlocking
with
these
the
mystery
line
that
you
know
how
much
more
time
are
we
going
to
lose
because
they
won't
tell
you
what
we
have
to
basically
interface
with
on
the
blurred
and
forth
line
and
the
University
line.
If
this
is
going
to
be
the
so-called
relief
line,
have
you
told
them
that,
through.
K
O
O
With
the
delay,
that's
obviously
occurring
because
of
the
refusal
to
give
the
type
of
technology
and
how
it's
going
to
face
with
our
lines.
What
do
I
tell
the
people
that
are
waiting
for
six
subway
cars
in
the
morning
to
get
on
the
subway,
Yonge
and
Eglinton?
What
do
I
tell
the
people
in
Yonge
and
Eglinton
who
have
to
go
north
to
go
south
in
the
morning?
How
much
long
do
they
have
to
wait?
K
The
chair
that
remains
the
TTC's,
singular
most
important
concern
about
this
whole
process
that
the
possibility
of
overcrowding
on
line
one
is
very,
very
significant
to
us.
We
are
carrying
out
a
capacity
enhancement
program
right
now
on
line,
one
which
is
separate
from
the
Ontario
line
proposal
that
work
has
to
continue,
and
we
have
certainly
emphasized
what
the
province
are
very
big
concerns
about
needing
to
deal
with
relief
to
capacity
on
line
one.
So
thank.
G
T
Through
the
speaker,
there's
three
avenues
of
discussion.
The
first,
where
we
started,
was
the
whole
notion
of
a
subway
upload
and,
of
course,
that's
speaking
to
an
existing
system.
The
second,
of
course,
is
the
expansion
program
which
legislation
has
been,
has
been
filed
and
has
been
adopted,
and
then
the
third,
of
course
deals
with
the
the
future
of
the
transit
system,
looking
at
it
from
a
regional
standpoint
from
a
funding
standpoint,
so
discussion
on
all
three
fronts
continue.
T
But
you
know
it's
as
my
experience,
not
just
as
a
city
manager,
but
having
worked
in
an
infrastructure,
myself
I
think
it's
always
important
to
be
at
the
table
when
we're
talking
about
building
new
things
because
we're
the
ones
that
end
up
having
to
operate
and
oftentimes
men
maintain
it.
So
we
have
an
ability
to
affect
the
the
design.
If
you
will
at
the
stage
that
we're
at
right
now,
which
I
think
is
important
and
that's
not
just
in
terms
of
the
transit
itself,
I
mean.
T
Certainly,
development
of
stations
is
going
to
be
important
because
once
the
station
is
built
typically
the
development
that
goes
with
it,
we
end
up
having
to
service
it
so
again
better
to
be
at
the
table
so
and
then
on
the
third
point,
there
is
a
committee
that
is
reporting
to
me.
We
report
it
last
time
that
is
looking
at
this
notion
of
Regional
Transit
and
the
funding
for
and
how
is
it
governed
and
so
we'll
have
that
information.
So
you
know
to
this
point
in
time.
T
G
Thank
you
for
that
answer,
I'm,
not
sure
speaker
through
you
who
will
answer
this
next
question,
but
I
Komets
been
made
with
respect
to
the
Scarborough
the
expansion
of
line
Chu,
as
it
relates
to
the
ongoing
discussion
around
a
stop
at
the
Scarborough
town
centre,
Civic
Center
area.
The
proposed
changes
that
the
province
is
actually
speaking
to,
which
is
to
add
additional
stops
to
that
line.
Expansion
I'm
just
wondering
as
part
of
the
process.
G
The
changes
that
are
being
suggested.
Is
it
possible
that
we
will
see
a
tandem
approach
where
the
ongoing
work,
that's
being
done
with
respect
to
the
extension
of
the
current
one
stop
and
the
proposal
of
having
the
additional
stops.
Could
that
be
done
simultaneously
so
that
the
work
that's
being
done
continues
and
the
additional
work
that
needs
to
be
done
can
also
continues,
and
it
would
apparel
le
parallely
come
to
a
decision
in
order
to
allow
that
there
isn't
a
delay.
S
Through
the
speaker,
that's
one
of
the
options,
but
actually
we
cannot
just
no
to
see
what
we
can
do
and
when
we
can
actually
do
that,
we
haven't
actually
came
down
in
any
solution
at
this
point
in
time.
But
it's
one
of
the
things
we
are
looking
at,
how
much
of
the
existing
work
can
be
carried
forward
into
the
new
design
and
how
that
and
how
you
overall
shared.
You
was
affected
by
that
right.
G
And
so,
just
as
an
additional
question
speaker
through
you,
I
have
not
been
made
aware,
having
being
the
counselor
in
the
Bramley
Eglinton
area,
that
there
was
a
proposal
for
a
stop
at
that
location.
At
any
point
in
time
we
had
talked
years
ago
about
potentially
roughing,
something
in
but
I'm
new
information,
I
guess
from
the
Toronto
Star
that
there
is
a
proposed
or
a
plan.
Could
you
help
us
to
understand,
or
could
you
clarify
that
situation
or
for
us
please,
through.
K
The
chair
in
the
work
that
was
done
in
2014-2015
at
a
staff
level,
there
was
a
number
of
investigations
into
different
stop
locations
yeah
one
of
those
included
Brimley
and
Eglinton,
because
it
was
an
obvious
place
where
there's
lots
of
transit
lots
of
transit
connections.
It
was
worth
looking
at
from
a
staff
level
and
that's
the
information
that
we
have
shared
with
the
province
since
they've
announced
their
project.
L
L
The
Ontario
Line
primarily
okay,
in
terms
of
that,
would
you
characterize
it
as
Toronto
City
staff
go
in
and
say
what
do
you
mean
in
terms
of
the
Ontario
and
we
get
a
whole
lot
of
information?
Or
would
you
characterize
it
as
the
provincial
staff
say
we
have
a
notion.
We
would
like
Toronto
city
staff
to
tell
us
how
to
develop
that
notion.
R
So
through
you,
madam
Speaker,
certainly
the
expertise
of
the
TTC
in
the
city
comes
to
bear
in
these
workshops
and
the
the
depth
of
information
that
they
have
in
the
work
that
they've
done
is
shared
from
the
provincial
side.
We've
seen
high
level
consultation
sultans
work.
So
it's
it's
a
sharing
of
information,
but
certainly
the
the
expertise
and
the
experience
lies
with
the
TTC
in
the
city.
So.
L
R
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
would
characterize
it
as
a
sharing
of
information
across
multiple
agencies,
all
with
the
best
interest
of
ensuring
that
the
public
is
served
to
our
best
ability
with
transit.
As
we
drive
down
to
what
those
potential
alignments
and
the
projects
look
like
going
forward,
we
will
come
to
bear
and
answering
the
technical
questions
that
were
asked.
I.
L
Feel,
like
I've,
been
taken
for
a
walk
in
the
woods
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
these
various
conversations
and
I,
don't
know
who
should
answer
it.
I
recall
that
there
was
a
document
the
province
sent
to
us,
saying
that
Toronto
City
staff
participating
in
conversations
where
information
that
would
fall
under
the
requirements
of
secrecy,
because
it
was
advice
to
cabinet,
would
not
be
shared
publicly.
Does
that
principle
apply
to
any
of
these
conversations
that
are
going
on
now?
R
R
R
Are
you,
madam
Speaker,
just
to
be
clear,
so
the
workshops
we've
been
engaged
in
has
been
very
focused
around
the
technical
aspects
of
potential
alignments
like
I,
say
primarily
for
the
Ontario
line,
that's
included,
modeling
work,
etc.
I
would
submit.
I
would
have
to
confer
with
my
colleagues
to
determine
any
quantum
of
anything
that
we've
received.
I
certainly
am
not
aware
of
anything
that
we
subject
to
any
secrecy.
Okay,.
L
L
K
K
L
I
K
The
chair
of
the
the
province
in
its
own
budget
announcement
said
that
the
line
one
extension
would
not
open
until
after
the
Ontario
line.
City
Council,
of
course
gave
clear
direction
to
that.
All
of
the
early
modelling
work
that
has
taken
place
suggest
that
it
must
happen
that
way.
We
cannot
have
the
line,
one
extension
open
before
sufficient
relief
has
been
provided,
and
so
we
believe
that
still
remains
a
very,
very
important
concern
and
is
being
considered.
Thank.
I
K
The
chair,
we
do
not
know
the
exact
answer
to
that,
because
we
have
not
seen
the
full
proposal,
nor
do
we
have
a
full
understanding
of
the
size
of
train
they're.
Talking
about
the
modeling
work
that
is
going
on
between
the
city
and
Metro
links.
Em'ly
TTC
is
intended
to
identify
how
many
people
would
ride
on
the
relief
line,
the
Ontario
line
and
how
much
relief
that
would
provide
to
line
one,
and
so,
in
the
end,
we
will
come
to
an
agreement
with
them
or
come
to
an
understanding
with
them.
K
I
What
about
the
phasing
options?
I
understand?
It's
central,
northern
and
western
and
I
had
moved
motions
on
making
sure
our
piece
of
it
was
prioritized
and
built
first,
given
that
we've
done
15
percent
or
more
of
the
design
work,
it's
not
still
in
the
discussions
about
the
phasing
of
the
relief
line.
I'll
call
it
through.
I
On
my
understanding
is
we've
done
at
least
50%
as
I
just
mentioned
of
our
design
work.
We
announced
a
few
months
back
that
we
are
going
to
accelerate
it
by
two
to
three
years
when
we
were
actually
building
the
relief
line.
What
stage
of
design
would
you
say
the
provinces
at
or
Metrolinx
we're
at
15
they're
at
they.
O
I
I
S
S
I
S
E
A
H
S
Through
the
chair,
what
that
the
current
team
is
doing
is
what
that
won't
be
wasted.
We've
basically
looked
at
the
amount
of
what
we're
actually
going
to
be
doing
looking
at
the
station's,
the
placement
of
our
stations
and
the
placement
of
the
interior
line,
so
we've
actually
scaled
back
the
what
we're
actually
doing
at
this
point
in
time
to
ensure,
but
not
wasting
money
at
this
point
in
time.
Well,.
A
S
Respect
to
the
design,
what
what
actually
can't
you
notice?
No
that's
what
that
will
not
be
wasted
going
forward,
so
they
can't
the
information
it
can
be
used
on
both
the
relief
line
and
the
interior
line.
You
talk
about
geotechnical
reports
where
you
actually
look
at
the
soil
condition
the
depth
of
it.
That's
gonna,
ask
continuing,
but
only
in
the
same
areas
that
the
potential
for
the
interior
line
may
go
so.
H
That's
a
yes.
We
currently
have
staff
working
on
the
relief
line.
Yes,
we
do
and
has
there
been
any
talk
about
the
condiments
of
transferring
those
staff
protecting
their
their
rights
and
their
their
agreements
with
the
City
of
Toronto
to
Metrolinx,
because
this
is
no
longer
our
project
and
this
keeps
coming
up
and
we
continue
to
work
on
a
project.
It's
no
longer
a
municipal
project
through.
O
H
H
K
Through
the
chair,
the
ridership
forecasting
is
generally
done
to
a
reference
year
which,
for
the
city
and
Metrolinx
right
now,
is
twenty
forty
one
when
we
look
at
a
longer
term
project
in
order
to
size
the
station's
correctly
and
have
a
sense
of
how
how
much
capacity
must
be
provided.
We
also
then
expand
that
out
several
decades
beyond
that,
so
we
have
looked
taking
the
2041
ridership
projections
that
we
have
and
will
with
the
final
ones
and
will
project
them
out
to
twenty
sixty
one
and
twenty
eighty
one.
H
When
we
look
at
at
the
Pape
station
and
have
we
done
significant
studies
into
where,
where
people
will
be
going
when
they
transfer
to
the
relief
line,
it
seems
to
me
most
of
those
people
are
heading
west
and
will
get
off
of
the
University
line
to
to
work
at
the
government
offices,
the
provincial
government
offices,
the
insurance
companies,
the
hospitals
and,
of
course,
other
private
sector
businesses.
Can
we
be
assured
that
people
will
be
getting
off
of
Pape
and
wanting
to
take
this
long
loop
down
to
Oscar,
Queen
Street.
K
K
The
early
numbers
that
have
been
done
suggest
that
a
considerable
number
of
people
would
leave
line
to
West
to
Pape
they
would
get
on
to
the
relief
line,
but
also
so
that
the
trains
arriving
into
Pape
from
the
east
would
be
more
crowded
than
today,
which
indicates
that
the
transfer
to
the
relief
line
are
the
entire
line
at
Pape
would
be
attractive
to
people
traveling
from
farther
east.
Now.
H
I
know
the
council
has
directed
staff
and
I
guess
it
sent
a
message
to
the
province
that
we're
not
going
to
extend
the
the
young
line
until
the
Ontario
line
or
the
relief
line
is
is
built.
Is
there
any
any
thing,
stopping
us
from
at
least
going
from
Finch
to
Steele's
and
would
that
create
any
kind
of
surge?
Wouldn't
the
same?
K
Through
through
the
chair,
there's
been
a
considerable
amount
of
work
done
on
the
line,
one
extension
to
the
north,
but
it
has
not
been
done
with
an
eye
to
phasing
it
only
to
steels.
The
work
has
always
assumed
that
the
line
would
be
built
and
opened
as
one
segment
all
the
way
to
Richmond
Hill
from
a
ridership
point
of
view
in
Toronto.
Absolutely
there
are
considerable
numbers
of
customers
who
have
benefit
from
a
subway
that
has
a
stop
at
comer
and
a
stop
at
Steel's.
But
that
is
not
how
the
project
work
has
been
structured.
K
A
M
There
are
lots
of
notes
in
the
report
that
speak
to
conversations
with
the
federal
government
about
what's
being
done
with
peat.
If
and
and
does
it
now
go
to
a
provincial
project
or
does
it
go,
does
it
go
to
projects
already
studied
and
underway
at
the
city
level,
and
so
we
know
P,
tip
and
P
tip
to
those
types
of
discussions?
My
question
is
in
terms
of
setting
what
is
the
way
forward
under
under
whatever
is
the
new,
either
guiding
principles
or
full-on
ownership?
M
Is
there
a
conversation
that
includes
the
federal
government
so
that
we
will
know
going
forward
state
of
good
repair?
It's
all
very
well.
Does
we
need
some
funds
for
state
of
good
repair,
but
we're
used
to
for
decades
and
decades
and
decades
in
terms
of
purchases
of
vehicles
for
the
base
system,
not
for
new
lines
but
replacement
vehicles
where
we've
been
accustomed
to
having
replacement
vehicle
programs
with
both
orders
of
government?
So
when
we
get
to
that
part
of
the
conversation,
is
the
federal
government
then
involved
in
setting
new
terms.
N
Through
the
speaker,
the
the
need
for
ongoing
funding
for
the
existing
TTC
state
of
good
repair
is
something
that
is
the
subject
of
the
conversation
with
both
the
province
through
the
terms
of
reference
table.
But
it's
also
something
that
we
actively
have
conversation
with
the
federal
government
through
a
number
of
different
channels,
and
they
are
certainly
well
aware
of
our
desire
to
see
a
permanent,
sustainable
funding
model
for
transit,
state
of
good
repair.
M
N
The
federal
government
is
aware
of
the
the
table
between
the
city
and
the
province
regarding
the
existing
system
and
the
potential
upload,
and
we've
also
been
having
conversations
with
them
about
the
application
of
the
public
transit
infrastructure
funds,
phase
2,
which
is
focused
on
expansion
projects.
Okay,.
M
So,
for
instance,
in
the
at
the
provincial
table
when
we're
having
those
conversations
when
we're
in
a
workshop
for
it
at
a
workshop,
we
we
know,
for
instance,
in
the
the
15
year
capital
outlook
that
we
did
where
we
asked
the
for
for
the
the
most
exhaustive
all-in
set
of
projects
so
that
we
would
know
over
the
next
15
years-
and
that
includes
a
tremendous
number
of
just
replacement
vehicles,
we're
all
in
love
with
our
brand-new
streetcar.
But
it's
there
they're
all
wearing
down
every
minute.
M
They
leave
the
barn
in
the
morning,
and
so
is
that
a
part
of
the
conversation
that
that
not
only
state
of
good
repair.
This
is
how
much
track
replacement
cost
blah
blah
blah,
but
just
to
keep
the
base
system
running,
we
need
new
streetcars.
Actually
right
now
we
need
more
than
we
have
on
the
system.
Right
now
we
talked
about
ordering
another.
N
M
T
Quoting
it
through
the
speaker
were
quoting
it
in
fact,
Michael
Lindsey
himself,
as
has
been
communicating
this
at
our
meetings
as
well
with
the
federal
government
recognizing
that,
even
though
we're
talking
to
them
about
expansion,
he
himself
is
also
an
you
know.
As
a
representative,
the
province
making
clear
that
we,
our
challenger,
is
far
greater
than
just
the
expansion.
Our
challenge
as
it
stands
right
now
is
the
33
and
a
half
billion
dollar
challenge.
That
is,
is
still
something
that
we
cannot
expect
as
the
City
of
Toronto
to
pay
for.
T
P
K
P
K
So
through
the
chair,
we
do
know
the
the
rough
alignment
that
they're
speaking
about
that.
That
is
the
map,
that's
reproduced
in
your
report,
and
that
also
indicates
the
station
locations.
The
station
locations
between
Pape
and
downtown
are
generally
the
same
as
we
had
all
been
planning
for
the
relief
line.
As
for
other
information,
we
don't
know,
we
don't
know
cost
and
we
don't
know
timing
for
their
project.
So.
P
K
K
K
The
chair,
we
are
working
to
understand
their
proposal
better
and
we
are
working
to
evaluate
what
they're
suggesting
and
that
work
going
on
between
the
city
and
and
TTC
staff
will
continue
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
months
and
at
some
point
later
in
the
summer
or
early
in
the
fall,
we
should
be
able
to
come
back
to
Council
and
give
a
a
recommendation
or
an
opinion
on
on
their
proposals
in
detail.
That's
the
best
we
can
do
at
this
point
and.
K
P
S
N
P
Thank
you
at
a
question
of
the
city
manager
and
I,
see
I,
don't
have
much
time
left,
but
you're
well
aware
of
our
concern
that
it
would
appear
that
the
Theriault
line
may
get
seriously
bogged
down
and
whereas
the
line
one
north
may
not,
which
could
lead
to
if
we
don't
take
any
action,
the
despite
all
assurances
line,
one
being
open
first
and
causing
a
very
significant
problem
for
the
city.
What
can
we
do
about
that?.
T
Through
the
speaker,
I
think
you'll
call
councilor
that
you
you
had
asked
us
whether
or
not
we
had
a
in
effect
a
plan
B.
What
would
we
do
in
the
event
that
someone
you
know
in
this
case?
The
province
goes
fundamentally
against
the
direction
of
council,
fundamentally
against
their
own
language
in
their
own
budget.
So
that's
something.
T
I
have
certainly
am
working
with
our
city
solicitor
on
there's
a
host
of
things
that
we
can
certainly
do
as
we
can
with
development
that
you
know
will
certainly
frustrate
any
activity
that
the
province
would
want
to
engage
in.
Should
they
want
to
build
that
ahead
of
and
open
it
up
ahead
of
other
relief
that
we
need
in
the
system.
So
just
those
were
dead
clear
if
they
were
to
do
that,
it
exacerbates
the
health
and
safety
problem
which
we've
already
identified.
They
would
be
adding
more
more
congestion
to
an
already
congested
system.
Thank.
E
E
E
Great
okay,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
go
over
this,
because
this
is
what
I've
heard
today
there
we
go
and
something
said
there
we
go.
Thank
you.
I've
got
relief
line
in
Ontario
line
and
if
I
could
just
get
understand
on
those
two
things,
so
I've
heard
that
the
relief
line
is
that
15
plus
percent
ready
to
go
drawn,
etc
and
that
the
Ontario
line
is
at
two
percent.
If
that
could
somebody
corroborate
that
please
once
death?
Yes,.

35
millimeter
gauge
that's
being
shut
down,
the
subway
will
be
run
out
of
1495
and
then
for
property
takings,
of
which
we
know
something
about
for
the
relief
line.
The
property
takings
have
been
determined
as
to
really
fly
it
south
anyway,
whose
property
is
going
to
be
impacted,
encroachments,
actually
taking
the
entire
property.
That's
been
determined,
and
everybody
knows
that
through
the
environmental
assessment.
That's
your
last
question.
C
F
S
G
O
K
F
K
Through
the
chair,
we
are
doing
work
to
determine
whether
line
three
Scarborough
can
be
left
can
be
kept
running
longer
so
that
it
matches
up
with
the
opening
of
the
new
sub.
If
it
does
not,
we
have
a
plan
for
extensive
express
bus
services
between
Scarborough
Center
station
and
Kennedy
Station
back
on
the
bus.
F
S
S
F
F
Q
T
Q
Q
S
Q
Let's
talk
about
the
design
the
report
outlines.
The
central
section
of
the
proposed
Ontario
line
from
Queen
to
Pape
is
mostly
the
same
as
the
original
relief
line
proposal.
Have
there
been
any
discussions
to
plan
the
Ontario
line
in
a
way
that
would
allow
construction
on
this
portion
to
actually
move
forward
so
that
not
everything
is
sequential,
but
we're
actually
overlapping
the
work
wherever
possible
through.
Q
K
Q
C
Through
the
speaker,
the
the
province
is
looking
at
in
these
new
lines,
a
market
driven
approach
as
well,
similar
to
what
they're
doing
around
the
go
station
areas.
We
don't
have
details
on
the
the
sorts
of
developments
that
they're
considering,
and
certainly
we
are
thinking
through
or
aware
of,
the
changes
in
the
planning
regime
coming
under
bill
108
and
what
that
will
mean
in
terms
of
are
the
opportunities
for
the
city
to
influence
those.
C
C
Q
And
it
appears
from
the
way
that
the
province
is
sort
of
bring
is
forward
that
these
discussions,
it's
it's
almost
a
line-by-line
negotiation,
so
when
they
lit
the
way,
though
legislations
actually
written,
the
lieutenant
governor
in
Council
or
the
minister
have
the
authority
to
designate
lines
as
sole
responsibility
projects.
So
is
there
any
indication
that
the
province
is
taking
a
coordinated
approach
to
the
city's
transit
planning
needs,
or
they
very
much
sort
of
taking
control
of
this
and
laying
it
out
from
a
provincial
perspective,.
C
Q
Glad
you
landed
on
the
the
word
Network
because,
as
a
city,
we've
always
had
a
transit
network
plan
and
we
were
thinking
about
the
system
as
a
whole
demand
and
eat
across
the
entire
city.
So
how
are
these
negotiations
feeding
into
the
plan
that
we
have
as
a
whole
for
the
city?
That's
that's.
My
big
concern
right.
C
Through
the
through
the
speaker,
we
have
been
asked
by
council
when
we
came
in
in
April
to
to
come
back
with
an
assessment
of
the
provincial
plan,
not
just
the
individual
lines,
but
about
how
the
the
provincial
plan
relates
to
the
the
the
transit
network
plan
that
the
city
has
and
its
impact
on
other
projects.
That
aren't
part
of
the
four
that
the
province
has
identified
as
priorities.
Yeah.
Q
Time
for
one
last
question,
have
we
received
any
legal
advice
on
whether
the
province
has
a
legal
authority
to
transfer
TTC
assets
in
the
way
that
the
legislation
is
written,
meaning
that
it
states
that
a
deemed
transfer
is
not
a
breach
of
legislation?
Has
there
been
any
challenge
to
this
perspective?
That
was
your
last
question.
Q
N
A
A
C
I
guess
madam
Speaker
I
want
to
thank
you.

do
have

of
