Property expropriation underway for Hurontario LRT Drivers can now
Law firm offers free
consultation
for those who will
be impacted
RACHAEL WILLIAMS
RachaelWilliams@metroland.com
Metrolinx has begun quietly
issuing letters to residents and
businesses whose properties will
be impacted by the Hurontario
LRT.
Portions of residential lots
and commercial properties that
fall along the 20-kilometre
stretch from Port Credit to the
Gateway Terminal at Steeles
could be expropriated to make
way for light rail transit.
With no recourse to stop the
expropriation, a Mississauga-
based law firm, Pallett Valo LLP,
is offering support for residents
to ensure they are adequately
compensated.
"Theres a lot of anxiety and
concern for what it all means,"
said Geoff Janoscik, lawyer at
Pallett Valo LLP.
Residents and business own-
ers who received, or expect to re-
ceive, notice of expropriation at-
tended a meeting on Thursday at
the Pallett Valo LLP law office, 77
City Centre Dr., to learn about
their rights as the expropriation
process gets underway.
Concerned primarily with
property devaluation and com-
pensation, roughly 20 residents
attended the information ses-
sion.
Mike Nicholas, who owns a
130-foot lot on the northeast cor-
ner of Hurontario Street and
Mineola Road, received a hand-
delivered notice from City of Mis-
sissauga staff, on behalf of Metro-
linx, saying the company plans to
expropriate nearly 20 per cent of
his $1.2 million property.
"Ill be closer to the road and
all the traffic," he said, with Met-
rolinx expropriating part of his
front lawn. "But otherwise, Im
pretty happy about it," adding the
compensation will help with
household renovations.
Compensation is based on
market value, damages incurred
as a result of the expropriation
and relocation costs, if required.
Commercial litigation lawyer
John Russo warned residents to
make sure they get their home
appraised before taking an offer.
That way, if the negotiating party
tries to lowball the property own-
er, he or she can refute the offer
with hard evidence.
John Whittingstall, manager
of Turner & Porter Funeral
Home on Hurontario Street, just
north of the QEW, has been
through this process once before,
with the widening of Highway 10.
"The city was very good in
dealing with us," he said, adding
his compensation included the
construction of a new roadway --
which helped his business.
Metrolinx spokesperson
Vanessa Barrasa said since the
expropriation proceedings have
not formally begun it is not pos-
sible to tell how many properties
will be impacted. Preliminary re-
ports indicate 140 have been tar-
geted for potential expropriation.
"If it is necessary to commence
expropriation proceedings to
meet construction timelines, ne-
gotiations with the affected prop-
erty owners will continue con-
currently with the hope that mu-
City of Mississauga
tually agreeable settlements can
be reached."
Expropriation for the redevel-
opment of the Cooksville GO sta-
tion has begun and negotiations
for eight properties north of the
rail line are underway.
Russo also advised residents
and business owners that even if
their properties arent expropri-
ated, they could have a claim for a
possible reduction in property
value, loss of parking spaces,
highway access, trees, scenic
views, or loss of revenue.
Any legal fees or costs for
property appraisal should be re-
coverable as part of the expropri-
ation process.

apply for QEW
toll lane permits
and renewals
Applications
accepted until
May 31
The Ministry of Transporta-
tion is now accepting applications
and renewals for High Occupancy
Toll (HOT) lane permits on the
QEW.
Applications are being accept-
ed until May 31 to purchase or re-
new permits valid from July 1 to
Sept. 30.
Permit holders wishing to re-
new, but who have already re-
newed twice, will have to re-enter
the application draw.
The HOT lanes stretch 16.5 kilo-
metres in both directions of the
QEW from Trafalgar Road in Oak-
ville to Guelph Line in Burlington.
Vehicles with two or more oc-
cupants, or green licence plates,
can use the lanes for free, while
those with just a driver can take
advantage of the lanes by purchas-
ing a permit.
Permits cost $180 and are re-
newable for a maximum of two
terms before drivers have to re-en-
ter the application draw.
Applications are accepted each
February, May, August and No-
vember and can be submitted at
Ontario.ca/HOTLanes.
Up to 1,000 permits are made
available for each three-month
term.
This commuter pilot project,
which began last September, is ex-
pected to last two to four years.
The province is including HOT
lanes in Greater Toronto Hamil-
ton Area highway expansion pro-
jects, beginning with Highway 410
and 427.

City assessing damage to lakefront
property after massive rainstorm
RACHAEL WILLIAMS
RachaelWilliams@metroland.com

City staff is assessing

the damage to the lakefront
parks and trails after a
rainstorm roared through
Mississauga and much of
the GTHA.
Crews worked around
the clock to mitigate any
damage along the citys
lakeshore caused by severe
winds and heavy rain. The
downpour of rain, which
lasted from April 28 to May
6, resulted in significant
damage to St. Lawrence
Park, J.J. Plaus Park, Mari-
na Park, and Jack Darling
Park.
"This is part of our
brand, but its also a huge
economic driver," said
Coun. Jim Tovey, who ex-
pressed concern for the fu-
ture of the area, which is
slated to undergo rapid re-
development.
At Jack Darling Park,
high waves carried rocks
and debris from the beach
onto the trail, making it un-
recognizable. At St. Law-
rence Park, the waterfront
promenade walkway, stair
railings, and sitting areas
were damaged. Perimeter
fencing had to be installed
to restrict access to the ar-
ea.

Even after living in Canada
for close to 60 years, he still
hasnt laced up a pair of skates.
"Im from Malta and soccer is

"Nobody has seen a hockey rink

Despite never playing the

His son Reg played the game
in the 1970s, and Joe and a group

NOUMAN KHALIL

There will be very few
people on this planet who
have never played the his-
toric board games such as
chess or snakes and lad-
ders.
To give a different per-
spective to these board
games, this month Peel Art
Gallery Museum and Ar-
chives (PAMA) is showcas-
ing The Art of Kreeda,
which means the art of
playing, exhibition featur-
ing chess, snakes & ladders
and ludo along with some
fascinating pieces from the
Indus Valley civilization.
As part of the South
Asian Heritage Month,
The Art of Kreeda opened
for general public on May 3
and will conclude on May
28.
"Since I am from Ah-
madabad - the city of muse-
ums - I want to connect the
contributions of India to
the world during the South
Asian Heritage Month,"
said Raheel Patel, 37, guest
curator of the exhibition.
"I thought it would be a
good opportunity for me to
put these things together."
Patel is a curator and vi-
sual artist with a museum
background from back
home. He has been collect-
ing toys since his child-
hood.
Patels family also runs
a small homegrown muse-
um in Ahmadabad.
"Ahmadabad has tons

are world-class. But the

India is different than the

After migrating to Can-
ada in 2014, Patel settled in
Mississauga and decided
to take culture and heri-
tage site management
course at Centennial Col-
lege to learn about western
style of museums.
In January, he joined
PAMA as a co-op student.
Later, he opted to bring a
unique exhibition featur-
ing historic boards games.
To enhance the impact
of the exhibition, Patel also
re-created some other an-
cient pieces such as a
maze, a bird, whistle and
dice at the Living Art Gal-
lery in Mississauga.
He said history shows
that board games were dis-
covered in India (pre-par-
tition Bharat) in the 5th
and 6th centuries from
where it travelled across
the world to gain popular-
ity.
