The City of Toronto hopes to keep designated roads clear in an effort to reduce traffic congestion due to the construction of the Ontario Line.
As of May 1, no non-emergency utility work will take place on “Priority Travel Routes.” On-street parking will be restricted and CafeTO installations will be prohibited.
The route was designated in response to a major closure on a busy portion of Queen Street. Traffic between Bay and Yonge streets will be diverted for an estimated four-and-a-half years, provincial transit agency Metrolix has predicted.“The TTC will continue to provide continuous east-west streetcar service on the 501 streetcar using an alternate route,” Metrolinx said.
The city is also looking at other ways to prepare for the construction of the Ontario Line, including modifying traffic signals to allow for flow of traffic, deploying pair police officers and traffic agents to direct vehicles, and work on a plan to “promote the safety of people travelling in the area.”
