Summary

Over the past couple of months we have experienced unprecedented impacts of

COVID-19 pandemic in our City.

 

Something needs to be done in order to ensure appropriate framework is in place in response to these unprecedented changes due to COVID-19 pandemic to Infrastructure projects all across our City, meeting the newly set protocols and demands. 

 

Therefore, I would like to request that a report is produced to ensure that all future City of Toronto Infrastructure projects take into account impacts of potential ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
