Construction Staging Area Time Extension - Grosvenor Street and St. Luke Lane (480-494 Yonge Street)

Toronto and East York Committee Council, at its meeting on May 2, 2018, approved the subject construction staging areas on St. Luke Lane from October 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020; and Grosvenor Street, from October 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Grosvenor Street and St. Luke Lane, as the site has experienced a number of construction delays due to an extended amount of time coordinating the heritage clock tower relocation, dewatering activities, and underground construction activities related to the Toronto Transit Commission Line 1 Yonge-University. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on St. Luke Lane for an additional 25 months (i.e. from August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2022). Additionally, the remaining construction activities on Grosvenor Street are anticipated to extend beyond the original end date of June 30, 2021. Therefore, authorization is also being requested extend the duration of the construction staging area on Grosvenor Street for an additional 14 months (i.e. from July 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022), in order to complete the construction of the development.
