Construction Staging Area - 83-97 River Street and 2-4 Labatt Avenue
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on River Street, City Council approval of this report is required. Broccolini is constructing a 34-storey residential condominium building at 83-97 River Street and 2-4 Labatt Avenue. The site is located at the north-east corner of River Street and Labatt Avenue. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the east side sidewalk, the northbound bike lane and the parking layby lane on River Street, between Labatt Avenue and a point 46.1 metres north, for a period of 40 months, from October 1, 2022 to January 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the east side of River Street will be maintained in a minimum 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. A northbound bike lane will be maintained at 1.3 metres in width, and will be adjacent to the walkway. Transportation Services is also requesting authorization to close the north side sidewalk and a 2.2 metre wide portion of the north side eastbound lane on Labatt Avenue, between River Street and a point 40.5 metres east, for the same period. Pedestrian movements on the north side of Labatt Avenue abutting the site will be restricted and will be directed to the south side sidewalk of Labatt Avenue. Temporary stop control will be installed for eastbound traffic on Labatt Avenue at Defries Street, to create a gap for north-south crossing pedestrians. In addition, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to fully close a portion of Carfrae Lane for a period of 23 months, from March 1, 2024 to January 31, 2026, from Labatt Avenue to a point 46.1 metres north. The developer has advised Transportation Services that they will be providing parking accommodations on private property for four vehicles. This is equivalent to the number of permit parking spaces that are being temporarily lost as a result of the installation of the staging area on the east side of River Street, north of Labatt Avenue. Residents in the area with a valid permit will be able to park overnight within the off-street parking facilities provided by the developer.
