    New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 Contents Introduction 1 The Case for Change 4 Investment Option 12 Strategic Case 18 Economic Case 31 Financial Case 37 Deliverability and Operations Case 41 Business Case Summary 45 iv Executive Summary Introduction The Town of Milton in association with a landowner’s group (the Proponent) approached Metrolinx to assess the opportunity to develop a new GO rail station on the south side of the Milton Corridor, west of Trafalgar Road. This market-driven initiative assumes the proposed station would be planned and paid for by the private sector. Once built, the station would be transferred to Metrolinx who would own and operate it. The proposed station location is on undeveloped land, at the heart of both the Trafalgar Corridor and Agerton Employment Secondary Plan Areas studied by the Town of Milton in 2017. As such, the project offers the Town of Milton the opportunity to realize an attractive and vibrant transit-oriented community that has the potential to benefit the entire region. Option for Analysis This Initial Business Case (IBC) assesses a single option for the proposed station. The opening-day concept plan includes one new side platform to the north of the corridor, with protection for a future second platform to the south. The site includes 1,000 parking spots, a passenger pick-up/drop-off area (40 wait spaces, 10 load spaces), bicycle parking (128 covered spaces, 64 secured spaces) and a bus loop including 11 sawtooth bus bays.

The Complaint was based on an incident that took place on August 4, 2020, when Mayor Brown attended at the Earnscliffe Recreation Centre ice hockey arena (the “Arena”). The Complaint alleged that Mayor Brown was there to play hockey and that he was not wearing a mask. The Complaint alleged that Mayor Brown had violated Rule 4 (Use of City Property, Services, and Other Resources), Rule 7 (Improper use of Influence), Rule 15 (Discreditable Conduct), and Rule 18 (Failure to Adhere to Council Policies and Procedures) of the City of Brampton’s Code of Conduct for Members of Council (the “Code”). The Complaint also alleged that Mayor Brown had violated the City of Brampton’s Mandatory Face Coverings By-law 135-2020 (the “Mask By-law”), and implied that he had violated the provincial re-opening guidelines passed under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (the “Emergency Orders”) and was involved in changing the City of Brampton’s “Facility Rental” website to cover his actions. Background and Summary I received the Complaint from Aaron Rosenberg, a lawyer representing the Rebel News Network Ltd. (“Rebel News”) and one of its reporters, David Menzies (“Mr. Menzies”).
