Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Wallace Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
In June 2020, Graham Commuter Rail Solutions (GCRS), Metrolinx's contractor for the Davenport Diamond Grade Separation Project, temporarily relocated a rail signal bungalow and gate arm from Metrolinx lands to the City's right-of-way on Wallace Avenue east and west of the GO Barrie Rail Corridor tracks, respectively. With the street occupancy in place, all traffic and pedestrian movements on Wallace Avenue are maintained.
A time extension of the existing street occupancy permit on Wallace Avenue is required from June 29, 2021 to June 29, 2022 to complete the required works.
