Summary
This report provides a summary of the activities undertaken by Toronto Public Health (TPH) with other City Divisions, and the Ministry of the Environment (Ministry) to address community concerns related to the ML Ready Mix located at 29 Judson Street. Since 2012, in collaboration with other City Divisions and the Ministry, TPH has responded to potential environmental and health impacts associated with the concrete batching activities at the site. The most commonly reported concerns related to noise, air quality impacts, dust, and vehicular traffic. Additional concerns raised by the community related to hours of operations, planning and construction, and esthetic issues. Due to the complexity of regulatory oversight and jurisdiction issues, responses have entailed a multi-divisional and multi-agency approach. This collaborative approach has addressed many of the concerns related to impacts of dust, noise, and vehicular traffic. Toronto Public Health is committed to continue this collaborative work with its City and provincial partners to respond to ongoing and future community concerns.
