Toronto and East York Committee Council, at its meeting on April 5, 2016, approved the subject construction staging areas on Alexander Street and Maitland Street, from April 13, 2017 to June 30, 2019. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Alexander Street and Maitland Street, in order to complete the construction of the development. Based on the information provided by the developer, the site has experienced a significant delay due to an extended amount of time coordinating underground restoration activities related to the TTC Line 1 Yonge-University. Therefore, Transportation Services is requesting approval to extend the duration of the construction staging areas for an additional 15 months on Maitland Street (i.e. from July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020) and an additional 25 months on Alexander Street (i.e. July 1, 2019 to June 31, 2021), in order to complete the construction of the development.
