Origin
Summary
This report seeks authority to commence expropriation proceedings for the property municipally known as 1230-1234 Weston Road, being a site required for a new child care centre needed in the area to replace the existing Hollis Early Learning and Child Care Centre (ELCCC) directly operated by the City and located at 1 Hollis Street ("1 Hollis Street"). 1 Hollis Street is to be purchased by Metrolinx based on their need to expand the Eglington Crosstown LRT. The fee simple acquisition of 1230-1234 Weston Road is required for the construction and development of new replacement child care centre in Ward 11 – South Weston, as demand for child care continues to exist in the community.
