On the agenda

As the city filed it

Starting as early as March 1, 2026, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission will begin critical state of good repair work on streetcar tracks at the intersection of College Street and Bay Street, requiring the 506 Carlton streetcar and 19 Bay bus services to divert. To increase service coverage, the 506 Carlton streetcar will be supplemented with a 506 Carlton bus replacement service which will provide transit coverage closer to the original 506 Carlton streetcar route.

For the Toronto Transit Commission to operate the diversions legally and effectively, two Toronto Transit Commission vehicle exemptions to existing left-turn restrictions along the 506 Carlton bus replacement routing are required. The existing and proposed restrictions are as follows: Intersection Direction Turn Prohibited Existing Times and/or Days Proposed Times and/or Days Gerrard Street East / Gerrard Street West and Yonge Street Eastbound Left 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat. 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Mon. to Sat. (Toronto Transit Commission vehicles excepted) Carlton Street and Jarvis Street Northbound Left 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Mon. to Sat. 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Mon. to Sat. (Toronto Transit Commission vehicles excepted) These diversions will last approximately six weeks, but a long term turning exemption for Toronto Transit Commission vehicles at this intersection will provide operational flexibility.
