Freedom of Information Request – City of Toronto & Metrolinx - March 2024

In September 2023, the CUVCG submitted a Freedom of Information Request (FOI) to both the City and Metrolinx asking for all documents submitted for approvals and all approved final documents pertaining to the design and reinstatement of the Eglinton & Allen Road intersection as part of the Crosstown project. The request included all planning and implementation reports, drawings, and documents between 2016-2021.

City of Toronto - After months of delays and extensions, the City finally released information.  Only one single document!!  We have formally complained to the Access Unit Manager claiming that the City showed disingenuity and a lack of transparency in what should be public information.  The Manager of the Access Unit has agreed to go back to our city divisions to ask again if there are other responsive records.  You can access the one City-released document HERE.  

Metrolinx – After months of delays and extensions, Metrolinx came back requesting a fee of over $700 to retrieve the relevant documents.  We appealed the fee and have proceeded to mediation to see if we can narrow the scope of the request to reduce or eliminate the fees.
