On the agenda

As the city filed it

As part of the TTC Easier Access Project, King Station is being equipped with three below grade elevators which will provide accessibility from the existing TTC platforms to the concourse level. The project is scheduled from January 2023 to June 2026. Construction is being undertaken in several phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and lane closures taking place on Melinda Street, Yonge Street and Colborne Street. These closures have reduced the number of loading/unloading spaces in the area which many businesses rely on for their day-to-day operations.

As the downtown continues to recover from the pandemic, ensuring access to loading spaces will help support local business. This motion would authorize the installation of a temporary commercial loading zone on the east side of Jordan Street, north of Melinda Street, in order to accommodate local business needs for the duration of the remaining construction project.
