On the agenda

As the city filed it

Queen Street West will be undergoing a significant amount of construction and transit modifications due to the Ontario Line project, including hosting potential public transit diversions, over the next several years. As a result, businesses that may be eligible for a curb lane café in 2023 may not be able to install that café in future years.
