So, I repeat that the City should go ahead with this project now as the chances of them losing an appeal is extremely small--and it seems that there are no legal reasons stopping them from proceding.
Also, I doubt that the Supreme Court would be interested in a question of interpretation of a provision of the Ontario Municipal Act that has been unanimously decided by the Ontario CA. They won't get leave.
