Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for a series of traffic amendments, including the temporary long-term closures of selected roadways and sidewalks, as required for the purpose of construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) project.
Specifically, this report recommends the temporary long-term closure (up to twenty (20) months) of the following portions of Eglinton Avenue East to support the construction of the at-grade section of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT):
- One eastbound and two westbound traffic lanes between Leslie Street and Don Mills Road; and
- The south sidewalk of Eglinton Avenue East between Brentcliffe Road and Don Mills Road.
This report also recommends the continuation of several side-street closures that will allow local residents only to allow station construction during the next stages of this evolving design-build project:
- Cedarville Station - Extension of four (4) years to December 31, 2022 required to support station construction scheduling:
- Strathearn Road, at the south limit of Eglinton Avenue West right-of-way. Access will continue for local residents only.
- Everden Road, at the south limit of Eglinton Avenue West right-of-way. Access will continue for local residents only.
- Eglinton (Yonge) Station- Extension of one (1) year required to support station construction scheduling:
- Cowbell Lane, from Eglinton Avenue East to a point 100m south thereof. Traffic will continue for local residents only.
Lastly, this report recommends a series of further traffic regulations, including temporary traffic control signals and changes to turn restriction changes, to support local traffic access near Leaside, and Cedervale Stations.
