Clair Avenue West and a point 65 metres north, for a period of 12 months (i.e., February 25, 2021 to February 28, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. The construction staging area on Alberta Avenue will require the northbound and southbound traffic lanes, abutting the site, to be realigned to maintain two 3.35-metre-wide lanes, one lane each for northbound and southbound traffic, within the existing southbound lanes. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Alberta Avenue will be maintained in a covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing northbound lane. The installation of the construction staging area will result in the loss of approximately 12 parking machine spaces on Alberta Avenue, abutting and opposite the site. Vehicle operations, including the existing parking on St. Clair Avenue West, will be maintained in their current configuration. Pedestrian operations on the north side of St. Clair Avenue West, abutting the site, will be maintained on the existing sidewalk, in a covered and protected walkway.
