Changes to Front St. at Union Station: Results of Toronto's Final Public Consultation

This is an update to my previous blog Changes to Front St. at Union Station: Final Public Consultation Nov. 3, 2011.

Jason Diceman,  City of Toronto’s  Senior Public Consultation Coordinator, announced that:

  • “The Changes to Front Street at Union Station study has been completed
  • The City of Toronto’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee (PWIC) will be considering the outcome of this study at its  February 15, 2012 meeting, item PW12.5
    • This just came to my attention on February 10, 2012: “The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee has rescheduled the meeting previously scheduled for Wednesday, February 15, 2012 to Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. in Committee Room 2, Toronto City Hall.

       This rescheduling is required in order to accommodate a special meeting of City Council on February 15, to consider a report on Collective Bargaining Negotiations with Toronto Civic Employees’ Union Local 416 (CUPE).

      Our apologies for any inconvenience this rescheduling may caused you.”

    • Members of the public are welcome to attend the PWIC meeting and address the Committee by making a deputation or submitting written comments. See City web page: Have Your Say!

It is interesting to note the following next steps:

  • should Council approve the recommended design
    • upon its review by Public Works and Infrastructure Committee (February 15, 2012 – is changed to February 16, 2012 as explained above) and
    • subsequent Council meeting on March 5, 2012
  • then staff would proceed to file a Notice of Completion for the mandatory 30 day period for public review
  • assuming any concerns raised are resolved, the City may proceed
  • the City would work with TTC to coordinate schedules such that the basic infrastructure would be in place by mid-2014.
  • some surface enhancements may follow, depending on funding
