Report FSD-004-22
Report Overview
The Farewell Creek Trail project previously approved by Council included approximately
$120,100 from the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling grant, the realignment of the trail
made this project ineligible for that funding and a new source is required.
1. Background
1.1 Report PWD-017-21 provided an update to Council on the Farewell Creek Trail Phase
2B Status Update. Within the report it identified that Ontario Municipal Commuter
Cycling (OMCC) Grant Funding would be utilized.
1.2 Because of the change of alignment this trail changed from a commuter trail to a
recreational trail and was no longer eligible for that funding. The funding was then
utilized for the Bloor Street Path, which was completed in December 2021.
2. Funding Reallocation
2.1 The project is eligible for development charges. Staff recommend that these sources be
used as they do not impact the tax levy.
2.2 Staff recommended that 10 per cent be funded from the Municipal Capital Works
Reserve Fund, and the eligible 90 per cent be funded from the appropriate Development
Charges Reserve Fund.
3. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that Council approves the new funding source, which do
not impact the tax levy or tax supported reserve funds, to complete the Farewell Creek
Project.
