Since then, the developer determined that a larger space is required to proceed with construction and is now requesting to expend the work area and occupy a small portion of the public laneway to the north. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to temporarily close a 0.4 metre wide portion of the public laneway (south side) for a period of 21 months, from October 31, 2025 to August 1, 2027 to facilitate an expansion of the previously authorized construction staging area for the development. The proposed closure will not impede the existing traffic operations, and access will be maintained within the laneway at all times.
