Construction Staging Area - Sudbury Street (1181 Queen Street West)

As a result of the subject sidewalk closure, pedestrians will be redirected to the south side of the Sudbury Street. In order to facilitate pedestrian movements and enhance the safety of north-south pedestrian movements at the sidewalk closure, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to install a temporary pedestrian crossover on Sudbury Street, approximately 66 metres southeast of Queen Street West. Parking amendments have also been proposed on the south side of Queen Street West, in order to facilitate safe and efficient inbound and outbound manoeuvres of heavy vehicles at the site access and egress points. However, this matter is dealt through a companion report "Parking Amendments - Queen Street West (1181 Queen Street West)" requiring City Council approval.
