Summary from the report and attachment 1 (October 30, 2023) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services on 1404-1428 Yonge Street - Construction Staging Area

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Yonge Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

YSC Development Corp is constructing a 50-storey condominium building at 1404-1428 Yonge Street. The site is located on the west side of Yonge Street between St Clair Avenue West and Farnham Avenue.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the west sidewalk, the southbound bike lane, a portion of the southbound lane, and the northbound bike lane on Yonge Street for a period of 35 months, from November 30, 2023 to October 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian movements on the west side of Yonge Street, abutting the site, will be maintained in a minimum 1.8 metre-wide covered and protected walkway. The southbound and northbound bike lanes will be closed, and signage will be posted informing cyclists the bike lane ends in advance of the construction staging area and shared lane pavement markings will be installed advising cyclists and motorists to merge into a single traffic lane in the vicinity of the work zone.

The construction staging area will result in the loss of four parking machine on-street spaces on the west side of Yonge Street.
