Seconded by Councillor Pietrangelo
WHEREAS on February 22, 2010, Niagara Falls City Council held a public meeting to receive input
on Fernwood Phase 3 Draft Plan of Subdivision; and
WHEREAS a significant portion of the lands in the Phase 3 area are affected by a Provincial Order -
in- Council from 1978, which protects a right -of -way for a future extension of Highway 420; and
WHEREAS the portion of the lands not covered by the Provincial Order are affected because access
to these lands cannot be achieved without crossing the 420 extension; and
WHEREAS at the public meeting in February 2010, Niagara Falls City Council resolved that the
Mayor and appropriate senior staff engage the Minister of Transportation and the Minister of Municipal
Affairs in discussions to examine the need for the Highway 420 extension; and
WHEREAS the development of Fernwood Phase 3 would help the City meet residential targets in the
municipality; and
WHEREAS the alignment of the proposed Highway 420 extension goes through a Provincially
significant woodlot; and
WHEREAS since the Order -in- Council, there has been no apparent demand for this proposed highway
extension; and
WHEREAS on December 13, 2010, the zoning by -law amendment for Fernwood Phase 3 Draft Plan
of Subdivision will be before Niagara Falls City Council; and
WHEREAS it would be prudent for Niagara Falls City Council to reiterate the position that the
Highway 420 extension is not needed or appropriate.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Niagara Falls City Council petition the Minister of
Transportation indicating that the proposed extension of Highway 420 is not needed or desired in the
municipality.
Carried Unanimously
