On the agenda

As the city filed it

University Health Network is building a 15-story surgical tower at Toronto Western Hospital located at 399 Bathurst Street. As a result, the parking lot and entrance to Toronto Western Hospital at the corner of Bathurst Street and Nassau Street will be closed. In the interim, the hospital's main entrance and the majority of traffic volume will be redirected to the entrance on Leonard Avenue. At the request of University Health Network, in consultation with Transportation Services and Councillor Saxe, a pedestrian crossover will be installed on Leonard Avenue, to provide pedestrian crossing protection connecting the hospital's Leonard Avenue entrance and the parking garage accessible walkway located on the east side of the street.

In addition, the existing parking prohibition will be bumped up to standing prohibition at the vehicular entrance of the parking garage on the east side of Leonard Avenue, south of Nassau Street. This no standing anytime zone will deter parking in the vicinity of the garage entrance and improve sight lines for motorists exiting the garage.
