Bull Lane’s Access Denied for Searle Street Residents
A resident of Searle Street delegated to Council last year to grant access to his garage onto Bull’s Lane.
Bull’s Lane is a municipally maintained private road created to replace Claremont Drive when the Claremont Access was built.
After much research, City staff concluded the agreement creating Bull’s Lane limited access to the roadway to those who lost access during the construction of the Access.
Staff are now reporting back that the City cannot add a statement to the property titles on Searle Street that access will not be permitted or considered in the future.
