Summary

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

MOD Developments (Charles) Limited Partnership is constructing a 48-storey residential building at 55-61 Charles Street East. The site is located on the south-west corner of Charles Street East and Macy DuBois Lane (east intersection).

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the south sidewalk and a 2.7 metre-wide portion of the westbound south-side curb lane on Charles Street East, between Macy DuBois Lane (east intersection) and a point 45.8 metres west for a period of 33 months (i.e. October 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024) to accommodate a construction staging area. The number of westbound lanes will not be reduced on Charles Street East and westbound traffic will be maintained by a 4.6 metre-wide lane.

Pedestrian operations on the south side of Charles Street East will be maintained in a 1.7 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane.

The installation of the construction staging area will result in the loss of approximately six parking machine spaces on the north side of Charles Street East.
