Construction of the development will be undertaken in several phases. During Phase 1a, a portion of the north sidewalk and a 2 metre wide portion of the westbound curb lane on Strathmore Boulevard from a point 13 metres west of Donlands Avenue and a point 24 metres further west, are currently closed for the construction staging operations. Toronto City Council at its meeting on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2020 authorized the subject construction staging area on Strathmore Boulevard from October 2, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The Toronto Transit Commission has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Strathmore Boulevard, as the site has experienced a number of construction delays. The Toronto Transit Commission is requesting to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Strathmore Boulevard for an additional four months (i.e. from January 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021), to allow for the construction of Phase 1a to be completed. Transportation Services has been consulted and have no objections to the proposal.
