Proposed temporary easement for transit construction access found fair, sound, and reasonably necessary.
Metrolinx applied for approval to expropriate portions of the subject properties for a temporary easement to provide construction access for track work related to the SmartTrack Program and GO Expansion.
Following discussions, the parties agreed to a revised, non-exclusive temporary easement with a reduced area.
The Tribunal found the proposed revised taking to be fair, sound, and reasonably necessary to achieve Metrolinx's objectives of expanding and improving public transit services, and recommended approval of the expropriation.
