The site is located on the former Milton Hydro lands at the south-east corner of Main Street and Thompson Road South. The site abuts the Milton Leisure Centre to the east, and Milton Memorial arena followed by the Milton Lions Park to the south. The Town of Milton Official Plan (consolidated August 2008) designates Main Street East (between Bronte Street and James Snow Parkway) as a 35.0 metre multi-purpose arterial road. Currently, the Main Street East right-of-way width on the Main Street East side of the Town owned property located at 55 Thompson Road South is 33.0 m. In order to comply with the Official Plan, a 2.0 metre road widening is required in this location. These lands will change from “institutional” to be conveyed as a road allowance. This change is necessary even though the Town owns the road and is in essence dedicating the road widening to itself.

Milton Sports Centre Expansion – 605 Santa Maria Boulevard

The existing Milton Sports Centre is located at the south-east intersection of Derry Road and Santa Maria Boulevard. The building expansion will be located along the east and south elevations of the existing building. The parking expansion will be constructed to the south of the building addition.
