1.         City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission to have the Eglinton Crosstown LRT connection from Martin Grove Road to Pearson International Airport and the Etobicoke-Finch West LRT connection from Humber College to Pearson International Airport evaluated together as a single project of the Transit City Light Rail Network, and that evaluations of options include maintenance and operating costs from a network perspective as evaluation criteria.

3.         The deferral of the construction of any stops shall not occur without the Toronto Transit Commission seeking approval of City Council.
