The developer is now requesting to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Alberta Avenue. The time extension is required due to delays from challenging site conditions encountered during demolition, excavation and shoring phases, which severely impacted the project and extended the project timelines. In view of the above, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Alberta Avenue for an additional 12 months, from January 4, 2026 to January 1, 2027, to allow for the construction of the development to be completed. It should be noted that since January 3, 2026, the site has been operating under a monthly Street Occupation Permit.
