As the city filed it

The Ontario Place Redevelopment would bring significant changes in traffic movement on Lake Shore Boulevard West and area. As a busy transportation corridor, Lake Shore Blvd experiences large amounts of traffic. The site is also close to Exhibition Place which in addition to its trade shows and conventions hosts sporting events and signature events such as the Canadian National Exhibition, Honda Indy, and Toronto Caribbean Festival that generate enormous peak levels of traffic that affect Lake Shore Blvd West.

A staff analysis of traffic impacts related to Ontario Place redevelopment is needed to update work that began with the formal development application for Ontario Place that included a proposed relocation of a reduced Ontario Science Centre. This motion is urgent as site servicing work at the Ontario Place site has begun and the Province has recently announced the immediate closure of the current Ontario Science Centre.
