The city’s fourth McDonald’s Restaurant is coming to Wallbridge Loyalist Road.

City council unanimously approved the execution of an Access and Utilities Easement allowing an opportunity for the restaurant to share existing municipal water and sanitary sewer laterals with a neighbouring hotel.

The property at 840 Wallbridge Loyalist Road received site plan approval for the construction of a new restaurant on June 27 of last year.

The approved drawings included independent service laterals through an easement over the hotel property at 784 Bell Boulevard that would connect to the mains on Bell Boulevard.

A staff report noted that the site owners chose this approach to significantly minimize disruption to the hotel property, and also reduce construction and reinstatement costs since the hotel driveway would not need to be excavated in order to install new laterals.

Staff stated shared services are typically not permitted, however in this case the property at 840 Wallbridge Loyalist Road cannot connect directly since there is no municipal water or sewer on Wallbridge Loyalist Road.
