are shown on Map 1 as Parcels 1, 2, 3 and an Unopened Road Allowance. The lands currently
owned by the Region are shown on Map 1 as Parcels 4 and 5. Township Staff is negotiating with the
Region regarding purchasing these lands.
All five parcels of land are located north and south of Victoria Glen Street, and north and south of an
unopened road allowance between Dunke Street and Snyder Avenue. The subject lands are
approximately 4 blocks from Elmira’s downtown core, and adjacent to an existing low density
residential neighbourhood defined by detached homes and a modified-grid road pattern. The subject
lands are used as passive open space and are not actively maintained by the Township, although
informal trails have been created through various parts of the area. There is an informal connection to
the Kissing Bridge Trail adjacent to the subject lands.
The Township-owned parcels considered for surplus total approximately 1.03 hectares (2.55 acres)
and are part of a larger Township-owned area, totalling approximately 5 hectares (12.35 acres). The
balance of the Township-owned lands, shown on Map 1 are not considered for development or
surplus.
