Transit Information For the safety of transit riders, TTC bus stops in the affected area may be relocated. If required, additional signage directing pedestrians will also be installed.

Pedestrian and Traffic Details During construction, lane reduction is required. We do not anticipate full road closures. Driveways will remain accessible to residents.

Please take care when travelling near construction areas. Pedestrian walkways will remain open. Please watch for additional signs directing pedestrians, as detours may be required.

Due to the current volume of traffic in this area, traffic delays are expected during construction. Signage will be posted in affected and surrounding areas to indicate partial lane closures and traffic delays.

We appreciate the patience of our neighbours and others within the community. We will endeavour to minimize the impact of the partial lane closure and noise from construction.

Work Hours The work will be carried out between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., 6 days a week in accordance with City of bylaws. There is a possibility that some of this work will be done overnight (24 hours).
