On the agenda

As the city filed it

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on St. Clair Avenue West, City Council approval of this report is required. Scout Condos Limited Partnership is constructing a 12-storey residential development building with ground floor retail, at 1779-1791 St. Clair Avenue West. The site is located on St. Clair Avenue West and encompasses the entire block between Ford Street and Osler Street. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the east sidewalk and a 2.5-metre-wide portion of the northbound curb lane on Ford Street, between a point 11 metres south of St.

Clair Avenue West and a point 47 metres further south, for a period of 19 months (i.e., June 10, 2021 to December 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Ford Street will be maintained in a 1.7-metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. Not all construction deliveries can be accommodated within the proposed construction staging area on Ford Street, some of the deliveries will have to be completed on the south side of St. Clair Avenue West, via temporary street occupation permits. To ensure vehicles do not park and block this area when it is required, it is proposed that stopping be prohibited at all times on the south side of St. Clair Avenue West between Ford Street and Osler Street. Since this area is currently designated for on-street parking it will result in the loss of ten parking machine spaces.
