TE8.51referred
182-184 Spadina Avenue - Construction Staging Area
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Spadina Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required. Magna Hotels is constructing a 15-storey hotel with a total of 250 units with three levels of underground parking for approximately 55 cars and one loading door. The site is located on the west side of Spadina Avenue north of Queen Street West. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the west sidewalk and a portion of the parking lay-by on Spadina Avenue and the east sidewalk and a portion of the road on Cameron Street for a period of 36 months, from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian movements on the west side of Spadina Avenue abutting the site will be maintained. Pedestrian movements on the east side of Cameron Street abutting the site will be maintained. Cameron Street between Queen Street West and a point 100 metres north will be designated as one-way for southbound traffic only. The construction staging area will result in the loss of six on-street parking machine spaces on the east side of Cameron Street and three parking machines spaces on the west side of Spadina Avenue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council referred Item TE8.51 back to the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services for further consideration.
