As the city filed it
The lemonade stand located at the corner of Hallam Street and Bartlett Avenue has become a popular and beloved feature in Dovercourt Village. For over a decade, this stand has contirbuted to the vibrancy of the area and encouraged community connection among neighbours. At the start of the year, concerns were raised that the lemonade stand created a sightline obstruction for pedestrians and drivers. The property owner worked with Transportation Services staff to ensure the structure does not interfere with pedestrian visibility or safety at the nearby intersection.

A recent site visit confirmed improvements were completed by the property owner. The proposed recommendations will enable the City of Toronto to enter into an encroachment agreement with the property owner at 224 Hallam Street to keep the lemonade stand in place while ensuring it is safe for residents who are walking by.
