Item - 2026.SC29.6

The Scarborough Community Council:

1. Deferred consideration of the item until the April 30, 2026 meeting of the Scarborough Community Council and directed the Director, Congestion and Network Management, Transportation Services to report back on the feasibility of alternative options for the proposed northbound curb lane closure on Victoria Park Avenue, working in consultation with the local Councillor, and considering options which mitigate adverse impacts on traffic flow and take the safety all users of the road and adjoining sidewalks into account.

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

Ontario Limited is constructing a 36-storey rental tower and a 12-storey affordable housing tower at 777 Victoria Park Avenue. The site is located on the northeast corner of Victoria Park Avenue and Denton Avenue.

Transportation Services is requesting authorization to temporarily close the east sidewalk and a portion of the northbound lane in Victoria Park Avenue; and the north sidewalk and a portion of the westbound lane on Denton Avenue for a period of 40 months, from March 26, 2026 to June 30, 2029, in order to enable construction staging operations for the development.

Pedestrians will be redirected into a 1.8 metre wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the northbound lane on Victoria Park Avenue. As a result of the sidewalk closure on the north side of Denton Avenue, pedestrians will be redirected to the south side of the roadway, at the all-way stop control at the intersection of Denton Avenue and Macey Avenue.
