This development site is within the Construction Hub Coordination Pilot program and has been reviewed by staff to ensure compliance with the pilot program. This entails a coordinated review that includes construction coordination, community support, business support and communication and engagement with area residents to address safety, equity, vibrancy, innovation and engagement--the five guiding principles of the Construction Hub pilot. City Council, at its meeting on February 26, 2019, approved an extension of the subject construction staging area on Yonge Street, from March 1, 2019 until February 1, 2020. A time extension of the construction staging area on Yonge Street for an additional 15 months (i.e. from February 2, 2020 to April 30, 2021), has been requested in order to complete the construction of the development. This report is submitted to Infrastructure and Environment Committee as Yonge Street forms a shared boundary between the Toronto and East York Community Council and the North York Community Council.
