The closures are expected to run for several months during 2026.

Why is this story here?

ContainedA temporary mitigation measure for a known construction period. The loading zones are reversible at the end of the project and bounded to two streets. No permanent institutional change; future councils can adjust or remove them. This passes the Stakes 1 test: something happens, but a future council could undo it without a serious fight.Touches a narrow groupA recognizable but specific group, businesses and residents on Wood and Grenville Streets, benefits from access during the closure. Commuters using College Street feel the TTC closure directly, but the loading zones themselves are a narrow mitigation. Most residents do not experience this week-to-week unless they are in the affected area. Satisfies Salience 1: one remove from daily life or a small specific group.
