This year from May to September, the City of
Toronto Technical Services and the Toronto
Transit Commission (TTC) will undertake major
construction work on King Street West from just
south/east of the Queen/King/Roncesvalles
intersection to Close Avenue.
The work will include; reconstruction of the
streetcar track, road reconstruction/resurfacing,
traffic signals, some curb and sidewalk work
and streetscape (e.g. construction of path
through the park, benches etc.).
Work is scheduled to begin just south/east of
the Queen/King/Roncesvalles intersection and
proceed south/east to Close Avenue.
Traffic and Parking Restrictions
During heavy construction, restrictions will be
imposed to turning, parking and driving lanes
within and slightly beyond the work area.
One eastbound lane will be maintained from
Queen Street West to Close Avenue during the
TTC track reconstruction phase; the westbound
lane will be reinstated as quickly as possible
thereafter.
No parking will be permitted in the active work
zones.
(see further details on reverse)
 King Street West from Close Avenue to Queen
Street West.
Continued Pedestrian Access
Pedestrian access to businesses and walkways will be maintained at all times during construction.
Work Hours
Work will generally run from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday to Friday, and from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on
Saturday. However, the TTC track reconstruction phase of this project will involve periods of late
evening and overnight work and extended weekend hours. The overnight rail work by TTC may
consist of moving rail into position, rail installation and rail welding / grinding. After-hours work by
TTC is required to support the daytime construction and complete the project as quickly as possible.
TTC Transit Service
During the construction, changes will be made to streetcar service on King Street West. Details of
the changes will be provided in a future notice to the community, and will be posted at transit stops
along the route in advance of the service changes.
Note: More detailed transit information will be provided prior to work beginning in May 2011.
