On the agenda

As the city filed it

The purpose of this motion is to establish a Construction Hub on Danforth Avenue, between Westlake Avenue and Dawes Road. Already, demolition and construction activities are underway for four high-rise developments, with an additional five applications currently under review. Altogether, ~7,000 new homes are expected to be constructed within this area in the years ahead. In response to the rapid pace of development within the area and the need to ensure public safely, it is critical that the City take a proactive and coordinated approach to construction management.

This includes proactive logistical planning of the right-of-way, holistic review of Construction Management Plans, and collaboration with enforcement officers. The Construction Hub will also help to minimize impacts on this community and ensure that residents and businesses are provided with real-time information. This includes both the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 and the Main Square Day Care Centre, which are both continuing operations in close proximity to ongoing construction activities.
