Origin
Summary
We are writing to request for an assessment to be conducted on expanding the existing Construction Hub coverage in Ward 11 (University-Rosedale), Ward 13 (Toronto Centre), and Ward 14 (Toronto-Danforth), as well as establishing a Construction Hub in Ward 12 (Toronto-St. Paul's).
This request to expand the Construction Hub coverage is in view of the rapid pace of developments as is evidenced by the large number of active and planned developments in our wards.
It is crucial that we begin taking steps to proactively envisage logistical planning of the right-of-way, review Construction Management Plans, connect travelers with real-time information, collaborate with enforcement officers and communicate impacts and changes to businesses and communities in our neighbourhoods. The additional hub coverage should be set up replicating the Yonge and Eglinton Construction Hub model that was instituted in 2019, and the existing Downtown Hub, which have by-and-large been a success.
At the numerous community consultation meetings that we have had, residents and community stakeholders alike have consistently called for coordinating truck movements, improving accessibility, signage and road markings, and undertaking temporary road design changes, on a case-by-case basis.
