As the city filed it

Reconstruction of the laneway located on the east side of Jones Avenue, approximately 23 metres north of Queen Street East will commence in May. This laneway is the primary loading zone for many businesses on Queen Street East, east of Jones Avenue. The installation of a temporary loading zone on Queen Street East is important for businesses to continue their commercial activities during this construction period.
