Ombudsman Report on Flood Claims Open to Public Comment Last year, I put forward a motion at City Council to direct the Ombudsman to look into how the City of Toronto handles basement flood claims made by residents.

The next GGL...C meeting is on January 4 at 9:30 AM, and the Ombudsman's report is on the agenda as Item GL20.1. To request to speak to this Item, click http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do and select 'Request to speak' at the top of the page as shown in the photo example below.

Black Creek Drainage Improvement Study Complete The City has completed a Municipal Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Black Creek Sanitary drainage area, which stretches from north of Finch Avenue down to the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood. The key recommendations from the study include a major sewer upgrade in the Rockcliffe Court area that will significantly reduce basement flooding. The purpose of this major City infrastructure project is to achieve the followi...ng: - reduce surcharge levels the Black Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer (STS) during wet weather events - reduce combined sewer overflows (CSO) discharge to the Black Creek watercourse - reduce stormwater infiltration and inflow into trunk sewers The following are key recommendations from the study: - install two new sanitary trunk sewers and a new combined storage tank and tunnel in the vicinity of Rockcliffe Court complete sewer upgrades along Keele Street between Eglinton Avenue West and Donald Avenue - implement Wet Weather Flow reduction measures along the existing Black Creek STS The study has been completed and is now open to public comment until February 5, 2020 to the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. For more information on this study, including a map that highlights the key recommendations, please go to toronto.ca/blackcreekstudy. If you have any questions, would like to receive a high resolution copy of the latest materials or require assistance in reading these files, please email or call Mae Lee from the City's Public Consultation Unit at [email protected] or 416-392-8210. I am very pleased to see the positive impact of this project on the Rockcliffe-Smythe area. This Drainage Improvement Study is independent of the planned TRCA/City of Toronto flood mitigation projects for Rockcliffe and will bring additional protection from basement flooding in the area with the installation of a new combined storage tank and tunnel at Rockcliffe Court.

On June 11, 2019 I held an open house to update the community on the status of efforts to address flooding in the Rockcliffe area. At this open house, it was explained that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) had completed new modeling of the area with advanced technology and determined that the flood remediation solutions proposed in the Environmental Assessment that was completed in 2014 would not protect vulnerable houses from flooding, particularly houses... on Hilldale Road. It was further explained that the TRCA was going to have to conduct a new study, in concert with the City, and that the study was to be completed by mid-2020. The Black Creek at Rockcliffe Special Policy Area Flood Remediation and Transportation Feasibility Study has since been completed, with the results to be presented to the Board of Directors of the TRCA at their meeting being held tomorrow, June 26, 2020. You can view the report (Item 7.1) online at: https://pub-trca.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx The Environmental Assessment process includes public consultation. I will be working with City and TRCA staff to ensure meaningful consultation with the community and all stakeholders.
