BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
Etobicoke Creek Linear Park
Mr Cook expressed concern regarding a serious erosion problem directly opposite
the Queensway Hospital and that bank stabilization should take precedence over
park development. He requested that starf keep him informed regarding status
of this site, and report back to the next meeting of the Board.
Staff informed the Board that at a meeting of the Etobicoke/Mississauga Liaison
Committee and Authority representative T.E Farrell, it was agreed that the area
south of the Queensway was highest priority
Under Section 38 U.I.A. programme, the Authority constructed a pathway under
Lakeshore Boulevard bridge, joining the valley park to Marie Curtis Park, as
far south as the bridgQ built by the M T.R.C.A.
The Authority attempts to ensure that any remedial works wil~- accommodate a
pathway (e g. at Westney Crescent), but due to funding constraints, this is not
possible in all cases Option is available to municipalities to carry out
modifications to access pathways.
