Construction Staging Area (Phase 2) - Bathurst Street (Mirvish Village) - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks

The development has completed excavation and shoring activities and requires a construction staging area within the road allowance on the west side of Bathurst Street. In order to enable Phase 2 of construction, a closure of the west sidewalk and a 3.5 metre wide portion of the southbound curb lane on Bathurst Street, between Bloor Street West and a point 72.5 metres south and between a point 85.5 metres south of Bloor Street West and Lennox Street is required for a period of 17 months (April 3, 2019 to August 31, 2020). Pedestrians will be directed to a protected 1.7 metre covered walkway within the closed portion of the southbound lane. With the proposed closure in place, Bathurst Street, in the immediate vicinity of the site, will operate as one southbound and two northbound lanes. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Bathurst Street will remain unchanged. In order to facilitate loading operations at 758 Bathurst Street, a designated commercial loading zone will be established on the west side of Bathurst Street, between a point 72.5 metres south of Bloor Street West and a point 13 metres further south. To enhance traffic flow around the construction staging area, stopping will be prohibited at all times on the west side of Bathurst Street, between Bloor Street West and a point 72.5 metres south; and between a point 85.5 metres south of Bloor Street West and Lennox Street The southbound near-side Toronto Transit Commission streetcar stop on Bathurst Street at Lennox Street will be relocated to accommodate the subject construction staging area.
