On the agenda

As the city filed it

The St. Lawrence Neighbourhood has seen significant growth, along with necessary investments to replace aging infrastructure. This has made it challenging to coordinate projects, instigated by public and private parties that often need to occupy the same right-of-way. There are currently two active projects and a number of potential future projects within the small geographic area between Yonge Street, King Street East, Church Street and Wellington Street East.

These projects require the coordination of multiple City divisions, private development, local stakeholders and residents to ensure timely delivery while creating minimal disruption. Those projects include: a. the coordination of streetscape work on Wellington Street East, as set out in TE20.44, "Road Alterations - Wellington Street East, Church Street, and Front Street Intersection" as approved by City Council in December 13, 2016 . This project, strongly advocated for by St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood Business Improvement Area, has involved significant coordination with Toronto Hydro, Enbridge Gas and the Toronto Transit Commission to ensure construction can begin in Summer 2020; b. the coordination of Carttera Private Equities Inc.'s project at 65 King Street East , which requires coordination with the Toronto Transit Commission's track replacement work on Church Street and planned elevator installations at Yonge Street and Colborne Street to ensure the movement of trucks in and out of the Carttera's Colborne Street staging area; and c. proposed future streetscape improvements on Colborne Street and other roads, as well as a new potential PATH connection between 65 King Street East and existing PATH connections on Yonge Street. Limited coordination work has already been taking place within existing divisions, developers and agencies to deliver the above work, but a broader remit and membership through this working group will allow for more timely coordination and potentially permit innovative solutions to address stakeholder needs while minimizing the impact on residents, businesses and traffic.
