Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub
This item has attachments. 

1.Appendix A, CN Halton Region Report No. LPS78-19.pdf

Whereas CN is proposing a logistics truck and rail hub, consisting of approximately 160 ha (400 acres) of the 486 ha (1200 acres) of land it owns around its existing mainline rail, east of Tremaine Road and south of Britannia Road, in the Town of Milton. CN has not disclosed its plans for the remaining lands on this site; and

Whereas The hub will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and result in 1,600 truck trips to and from the site each day. This congestion poses a risk to the safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and families in the area; and

Whereas the proposed site is immediately adjacent to existing and future residential areas. Approximately 34,000 current and future residents, twelve schools, two long-term care homes and one hospital are located within one kilometer of the site. The site will generate increased levels of noise, air pollution and lighting, and significantly impact the community’s health and safety; and

Whereas efforts to protect the environment will be impacted by the effect of emissions, storm water discharge, water takings and watercourse alterations; and

Whereas the project will result in less serviceable employment lands and potentially fewer jobs for Halton. The site and the surrounding area currently plan for 1,500 jobs and this project will only result in 130 jobs; and

Whereas the project is currently being assessed by a Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency Joint Review Panel Process; and

Whereas the Halton Municipalities have identified significant non-rail aspects of the project that raise concerns for residents and the community and have brought forward these concerns to the Panel.

Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Burlington supports the May 29, 2019 submissions of the Halton Municipalities to the review panel established under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (“CEAA”) including, in particular, the findings that the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub Project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, as further outlined in Report No. LPS78-19 re: “CEAA Panel Review of the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub”, attached as Appendix A – Halton Region Report No. LPS78-19; and

That the City supports the May 29, 2019 submissions for setting out the “interests of the localities” relevant to CEAA and section 98 of the Canada Transportation Act (“CTA”), as further outlined in Report No. LPS78-19 re: “CEAA Panel Review of the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub”; and

That the City supports the future submission to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Review Panel for the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub by the Halton Municipalities of such further information, including oral and written presentations and remarks, as advances the May 29, 2019 submissions and matters relevant to the CEAA and section 98 of the CTA, as further outlined in Report No. LPS78-19 re: “CEAA Panel Review of the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub”; and

That the City Clerk forward a copy this resolution to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Review Panel for the Proposed CN Milton Logistics Hub; and

That the City Clerk forward a copy of this resolution to the Town of Halton Hills, the Town of Milton, the Town of Oakville and Conservation Halton, Halton’s MPs and MPPs, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the City of Mississauga, the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

14.4
Regional Governance Review
 

Whereas the Regional Governance Review Terms of Reference for Special Advisors Michael Fenn and Ken Seiling states that all materials produced by the Special Advisors, including research, analysis, reports and recommendations, are the exclusive property of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and may be released publicly at the discretion of the Ministry; and

Whereas the Regional Governance Review must be transparent in the interest of accountability and in consideration of the potential impacts to local and regional municipal governments and the communities they serve; and

Whereas the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) has requested that the report of the Special Advisors to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, containing the findings and recommendations be made public; and

Now therefore be it resolved that Burlington City Council endorse AMCTO’s position that the report prepared by the Special Advisors, regarding the Regional Governance Review, be publicly released upon its completion and presentation to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; and

That the City Clerk circulate a copy of this resolution to Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Jane McKenna, M.P.P., Effie Triantafilopoulos, M.P.P., Parm Gill, M.P.P., Special Advisors Michael Fenn and Ken Seiling, AMCTO, AMO and all GTA municipalities.
