Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. All
costs for reference plans and legal transfers are being borne by the Region of York and/or the
Region of Durham as co -proponents for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer project.
Discussion: The York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) conveys flows from York
Region through the City of Pickering to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant at the
bottom of Squires Beach Road, in the City of Pickering. The YDSS also conveys sewage from
urban areas of the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax, and as such, the YDSS and the Duffin
Creek Water Pollution Control Plant are co -owned by York and Durham.
The Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer project was recently constructed and commissioned by
York and Durham as co -proponents. This new trunk sanitary sewer resulted in a metering facility,
a reconfigured walkway, an open space parkette and a maintenance shaft for the new sewer at
the northwest corner of Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue, with an understanding that the lands
would be exchanged between the parties after completion. The City of Pickering will maintain the
new walkway and the open space parkette located within the lands being acquired.
Council should note that, when Plan of Subdivision M-1215 was developed (Barnwood Square,
Wheatsheaf Lane and part of Bushmill Street), Block 73, Plan M 1215 (now Parts 5, 6 and 7 on
Plan 40R-29193) was constructed as a walkway connecting Barnwood Square to Finch Avenue
and dedicated on Plan M-1215 as a public highway.
The construction of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer also resulted in the relocation of the
walkway originally constructed on Block 73, Plan M-1215, with the new walkway connecting
Barnwood Square to Liverpool Road. Accordingly, it is necessary to stop -up and close Block 73,
Plan M-1215 as a public highway in order for the conveyance of Parts 5 and 7, Plan 40R-29193
(as described in this Report) to be affected. Part 6, Plan 40R-29193, being the remnant portion of
the original walkway forms part of the newly relocated walkway, and while it will remain in the
ownership of the City, it is not necessary to have it established as a public highway. The road
closing by-law is attached. Appropriate notice regarding this public highway closure has been
given to the public.
Now that the works in the vicinity of Liverpool Road and Finch Avenue are complete, and land
requirements are known, it is appropriate to transfer land between the City of Pickering, the
Region of Durham, and the Region of York.
Reference Plan 40R-29193 was registered identifying the lands to be declared as surplus and
exchanged. The City will be transferring Part 5, Plan 40R-29193 with a total area of 61.9m2 to the
Region of York and Part 7, Plan 40R-29193 with a total area of 47.9m2 to the Region of Durham,
as shown on the location map attached (Attachment No. 1). The Region of Durham together with
the Region of York will be transferring Part 3, Plan 40R-29193 to the City of Pickering, and the
Region of York will be transferring Parts 11 and 13, Plan 40R-29193 to the City of Pickering with a

total area 630m2 as shown on the location map attached (Attachment No. 1). Once the lands have
been declared surplus, City staff will take the requisite steps needed to complete the transfers.
The Region of Durham has completed their necessary approval process through Report # 2018 -
COW -12 which was approved by Regional Council on February 14, 2018, and the Region of York
has completed their necessary approval process in accordance with By-law No. 2016-3.
