Origin
Summary
As part of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project, new Cherry Street will include sidewalks, multi-use trail, a dedicated transit lane and two lanes of vehicular traffic. It will be built approximately 50 metres west of the existing Cherry Street to preserve the heritage structures located on either side of the existing street, and the intersection of Cherry Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East will be re-aligned as a result.
The following recommendations will introduce various traffic by-laws that are required at this new intersection prior to opening.
