Summary

EllisDon is constructing a 57-story non-residential development at 30 Bay Street and 60 Harbour Street. The existing heritage building is known as the Toronto Harbour Commission Building.  The site is bound by an existing mixed-use building to the west, Harbour Street to the south, Bay Street to the east, and Lake Shore Boulevard West/Gardiner Expressway to the north.

 

As part of the site plan application of this development, a lay-by is scheduled to be constructed in front of the property on Harbour Street to meet the market needs of Harbour Sixty, which allows for valet service.  The lay-by will help facilitate pick-up/ drop-off demands, without impacting traffic flow on Harbour Street.  The on-street parking regulation within the lay-by will need to be amended to a “No Standing Anytime” regulation.  This will deter parking in this area but allow for the pick-up/drop-off of passengers only.
