Scott street is being widened to accommodate an exclusive eastbound transit lane between Lanark Avenue and Island Park Drive. ➢ Additionally, the MUP on the north side of Scott Street will be increased in width to four metres. During the Transitway detour, the Westboro Station platforms will be relocated to Scott Street. Detours along Scott street to facilitate this work will be in place starting in the fall. ➢ West of Churchill Avenue, Scott Street will be extended as a temporary transitway roadway to Dominion Station. This transit-only roadway will be on the south side of the existing Transitway until a point just east of Roosevelt Avenue, at which point it will cross to the north side of the existing Transitway (south of Workman Avenue) until it meets the Sir John A MacDonald Parkway in the vicinity of existing Dominion Station. Prior to the start of the Transitway detour, noise mitigation will be installed along the south side of Workman avenue. Aspects of the design of this noise mitigation are still being worked on and more information will be available prior to the start of the detour next April. 6 SCOTT ST. DETOUR - ROOSEVELT PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT DOMINION AVE. ➢ Utilities relocation work is currently ongoing prior to bridge removal later this spring ➢ Summer installation of temporary new bridge for buses to cross over Transitway ➢ Sound buffering echo barriers will be installed near residential area at Workman/Dominion ➢ This is to allow construction of the station and guideway in Transitway trench while maintaining bus routes 7 SCOTT STREET DETOUR ➢During the detour, the new roadway will cross the transitway trench on a new temporary transit-only bridge which will be installed this summer. ➢ In order to build this bridge, the existing Roosevelt pedestrian bridge must be removed. ➢This removal will occur in May, the date has yet to be finalized. Utility relocation and other prepatory works for the pedestrian bridge removal and bus bridge installation are underway. ➢Pedestrians will be detoured to the east or the west (to cross the Transitway at either Churchill Avenue or at the Sir John A MacDonald Parkway) for the duration of this work and the Scott street Transitway detour. The pedestrian detour signage will be posted two weeks in advance of the detour starting. ➢Post construction, following the removal of the Transitway detours, the Roosevelt pedestrian Bridge will be reinstated in its original alignment. 8 NEW BRIDGE AT ROOSEVELT & DOMINION - WORKMAN AVENUES Graphic depiction only 9 KÌCHÌ SÌBÌ STATION SITE (DOMINION STATION) 10 KITCHISSIPPI LOOKOUT AND SJAM ➢ Utilities relocation between Atlantis Ave and SJAM, to Kitchissippi Lookout: May to July ➢ Work at Atlantis Avenue requires a temporary road closure May-June 2021 ➢ Boreholes to determine locations of rock underway through May 11 KITCHISSIPPI LOOKOUT AND SJAM ➢North of the Kìchì Sìbì station area, utilities relocation work between Atlantis avenue, SJAM and Kitchissipi Lookout is advancing. ➢This work will require a closure of Atlantis avenue between Lanark and Selby.

  • Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1
    Document 2 Bells Corners Community Improvement Plan 1. Background Bells Corners has been identified as needing economic development activity, particularly, measures are needed to incent urban revitalization. Over the last several decades, the quality and vibrancy of the Robertson Road corridor, between the CN Railway bridge on the east and the City-owned railway bridge (now a multi-purpose pathway) on the west, has declined significantly, resulting in a lack of business investment; declining levels of property maintenance; and the closure, downsizing, and/or relocation of many existing businesses. Some 468 business have closed or moved away from Bells Corners in this period, and well-known brands like Staples, IKEA, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's, 2nd Cup, Alexanian Carpet, Burger King, Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, and Pizza Hut are all long gone. Hurley’s, a former thriving restaurant, was replaced by Local Heroes, but now it too has downsized and moved across the street, leaving a large vacant building. The restaurant that initially opened as Corkscrew Restaurant at 3795 Richmond Road (now 1961 Robertson Road) has housed a long list of businesses since Corkscrew’s failure, including Buffet Palace, Vox Lounge, Houston's Restaurant, and Miss Saigon, but now all have failed, and the building has been torn down and the land sits vacant. The purpose of this Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is to encourage and facilitate rehabilitation, redevelopment, and revitalization of the existing built environment while providing enhanced employment opportunities, all of which are important for the health and liveability of this section of Bells Corners. The CIP benefits private landowners undertaking redevelopment projects on private property; however, the eligibility and reporting criteria require that the tenants creating the jobs are made aware of the CIP incentives so they can negotiate appropriate lease terms with complete information.
