Summary

By 2025.TE27.50, Toronto and East York Community Council authorized a construction management zone for the construction of the new multi unit residential building at one Roxborough Street West. Section 23 of that motion required the developer to install a pedestrian crossing to provide a safe access to Yonge Street for pedestrians on the south side of Roxborough, given that the sidewalk has been blocked by the developer.

 

Since that time, Transportation Services has decided that it will take responsibility for installing the pedestrian crossing and will pay for it out of the existing charge is paid by the developer.
