This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Marlin Spring Developments has undertaken the construction of a 26-storey residential building at 316-336 Campbell Avenue. The site is located on the west side of Campbell Avenue, north of Dupont Street.

By way of background, Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on January 14, 2025 adopted Item 2025.TE19.37 and in doing so, authorized a closure of a 1.5 metre wide portion of the north-south laneway, between a point 35 metres north of Dupont Street and a point 56 metres further north, from March 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, to accommodate site mobilization and commencement of shoring and excavation activities for Phase 1 of the project.

At a subsequent meeting held on November 27, 2025, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted item 2025.TE27.47, and in so doing authorized closure of the west sidewalk on Campbell Avenue, the closure of a 1 metre wide portion of the east-west public laneway, and an extension of the existing closure of the 1.5 metre wide portion of the north-south public laneway abutting the site. These temporary closures were approved until December 31, 2027 to accommodate the continuation of shoring and excavation activities for Phase 2 of the project.

The developer is now preparing to begin Phase 3 of the project and has advised that additional construction staging space will be required, necessitating a full closure of the east-west public laneway abutting the site to accommodate below grade formwork and above grade formwork activities.

In view of the above, Transportation Services is requesting authorization for the full closure of the east-west public laneway, between Campbell Avenue and a point 45 metres west, for a period of 18 months, from June 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 to allow for the construction project to be completed.
