Bloor Street Construction Update

Yonge Street to Church Street:  With the completion of the tree planting, on the east portion of Bloor St., the full impact of the project is being noted.  Installation of metal tree pit grates is still pending, but should begin in later December.  Some outstanding granite work, on the north side at Church and Bloor, and on the south side at 33 Bloor St. East and 81 Bloor St. East is due to the work required on the hydro vaults.  This work needs to be carried out by Toronto Hydro and will likely take place in the New Year.  Toronto Hydro has not provided any anticipated dates for the start of this work.

Yonge Street to Avenue Road:  Boulevard and road construction on the western portion of Bloor Street is expected to begin early to mid January 2010.  For the balance of 2009, Toronto Hydro will continue to work in isolated locations between Yonge St. and Avenue Rd.  Their work includes relocating power lines, in order to lower vault lids for road resurfacing, as well as upgrading antiquated lines.  Toronto Hydro will not allow the City contractor to work in this area, at the same time, as their crews.  Pedestrian access to businesses and properties, between Yonge St. and Avenue Road will NOT be interrupted. No major work will be occurring on the boulevards for the month of December.

***Please Note – These construction schedules have been provided to us by the City contractor.  Given the extent and complexity of the project, changes to the schedule may occur***
