Motions (City Council)

Motion to Introduce Motion without Notice moved by Councillor Ana Bailão (Carried)

That Councillor Ana Bailão be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without notice concerning:

 

Metrolinx Davenport Community Rail Overpass

 

Reason for Urgency:

 

This matter is urgent as Metrolinx is planning on filing a Notice of Commencement for the Transit Project Assessment Process in early September 2015.  Once that process commences, it follows a formal six month schedule and it will be too late to consider this Motion prior to the next City Council meeting.
