Information and updates contained in this report includes: - An update regarding the communication strategy developed and undertaken by Waterfront Toronto related to closures and reduced traffic capacity on Lake Shore Boulevard East, between the Don Roadway and Carlaw Avenue - A description of traffic impacts and mitigation measures, particularly as they affect businesses and truck movement within the Port Lands and South of Eastern areas, as well as information regarding planned cycling infrastructure along Carlaw Avenue and Commissioners Street - Further details on the planned cycling infrastructure on Commissioners Street and Carlaw Avenue approved by Council on July 14, 2021 as part of the plan to install temporary cycling infrastructure on Cherry Street, Villiers Street, Saulter Street and Commissioners Street to support Lake Shore Boulevard East Trail and Lower Don Trail Construction Closures and Detour Routes. The full road closure on Don Roadway, between Lake Shore Boulevard East and Villiers Street will restrict access to Northbound Don Valley Parkway from the Don Roadway. As a result, outbound heavy truck movements in the Port Lands will divert to the adjacent signalized intersections. The truck traffic patterns, impact analysis and traffic mitigation plan for heavy trucks in the Port Lands is detailed in the staff report entitled "Port Lands Flood Protection - Don Roadway - Construction Staging Area" to be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting on September 9, 2021. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2021.TE27.28
