Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on February 16, 2022, approved the subject construction staging area on Dalhousie Street from April 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. At the time, the developer indicated they would require the staging area for a total of 26 months, from April 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024.
