Bylaw No. 1759 – Road Closure Un Named Stub off of West Shore Parkway 
 
  
 
Background 
 
During the original subdivision of the Glenshire Industrial Park a small stub road access was provided from 
West Shore Parkway generally north/northwest to lands beyond. 
 
Commentary 
 
Subsequent to the completion  of the West Shore Parkway in 2017, the un named stub road was re-aligned 
slightly south of its current location and is now proposed in a new location. 
 
This bylaw is proposed to close the existing stub road to enable the new stub road to be dedicatd. 
 
Financial Implications 
 
There are no financial implications to closing this stub road. A new stub road will be dedicated of similar 
value to the existing stub road. 
 
Legal Implications 
 
Public notifications of the proposed road closure will be provided.
