Summary

As a part of the King / Queen / Queensway / Roncesvalles (KQQR) road reconstruction work, St. Joseph's Health Centre (SJHC) has requested that emergency service vehicles have full access to the SJHC Melynk driveway, located on The Queensway between Glendale Ave and Sunnyside Ave. Engineering & Construction Services (ECS), in consultation with TTC and Transportation Services Traffic Operations, have reviewed and agree with installing curb depressions on The Queensway to accommodate emergency service vehicles. To deter regular vehicular traffic from entering the TTC track allowance, the curb depressions will be offset with the south side curb depression located further west.
