In addition, a temporary detour (diversion) roadway has been fully constructed within the existing northbound lanes, east boulevard on Cherry Street, and within the additional lands on the east side of Cherry Street (leased from City of Toronto Economic Development Corporation) to accommodate northbound and southbound traffic around the construction staging area. City Council, at its meeting on May 28, 2020, authorized the subject construction staging area on Cherry Street, from June 29, 2020 to February 28, 2022. At the time, Waterfront Toronto indicated they would require the construction staging area for a total of 34 months. At its meetings on February 2, 2022, City Council subsequently authorized extending the duration of the construction staging area until May 31, 2022.
