Origin
Summary
Construction for Contract Number 21ECS-LU-01TT for the Fairbank Silverthorn Basement Flooding Protection Project is underway. Silverthorn Avenue and Scott Road are closed at Dunraven Drive for a long-term duration up to July 2024 due to the construction of deep shafts. The shafts are required to connect the future storm sewers to the storm tunnel that is currently under construction.
To improve traffic flow due to the full closure of Silverthorn Avenue and Scott Road at Dunraven Drive, Kane Avenue, which is one-way, requires temporary conversion to two-way between Dunraven Drive and Kersdale Avenue.
Due to this temporary change, two additional Stop Control Signs are required on the northbound Kane Avenue at Dunraven Drive and Aileen Avenue. This temporary change is requested during construction, which is estimated to be complete by July 30, 2024. The temporary change will improve traffic flow and prevent gridlock. Scott Road between the construction closure and Aileen Avenue will be temporarily converted from one-way northbound to two-way for local traffic only to allow the affected residents a route out of the closure.
Transportation Services is recommending the temporary installation of two northbound Stop Controls due to temporary two-way conversion of Kane Avenue.
