Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Wellesley Street East for an additional 12 months (i.e. from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021.) in order to complete the construction of the development. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Wellesley Street East, as the site has experienced a number of construction delays due to winter weather conditions, discovery of soil contaminants and delayed construction of a cantilevered and elevated platform.
