Summertime Construction on Victoria Street has begun & Survey on Pedestrian Zone

Two construction projects will be taking place on Victoria St. beginning the week of June 20.

From June 23 to August 20, the northbound lane will be closed as water main work occurs between Dundas and Gerrard. For two weeks during this time, traffic entering and exiting the parking garage will be re-routed on Victoria and Gould to Yonge St. Pedestrians should exercise caution as vehicles will be travelling in both directions on Gould between Victoria and Yonge. No water interruptions are anticipated.

Renovations are also planned for the Victoria St. parking garage. Entrance and exit lanes will be angled for smoother traffic flow. If necessary, permit holders may be relocated to the Pitman Hall garage during renovations.
