UPDATE: Shoring Work and Temporary Laydown Area

OAKWOOD STATION

What work is taking place?

Shoring operations at the secondary entrance for the future Oakwood Station will begin in late December 2016. Activities will be similar to what has been seen to date at the main entrance. In order for crews to safely complete the shoring process an additional laydown area is required to accommodate construction materials and equipment. A portion of the Green P parking lot, at 1607 Eglinton Ave W, will be used temporarily to accommodate these requirements.

Timing

• Laydown area will be set up as soon as Monday, December 12. The area will be used from December 2016 to April 2017.
•  Shoring related operations will begin as early as Monday, December 19 and continue for approximately four months.

What to expect

• Construction staging has been designed to reduce impacts to the neighbourhood as best as possible while allowing crews to complete the work safely.
•  Pedestrians, businesses and residents near the work site can expect to hear trucks, excavators, backhoes, a pile drill and other construction equipment.
• There will be heavy truck traffic at times entering and exiting the station entrances.
• In addition to the construction activities, residents can expect to see material storage and equipment movement in the designated work zone.

Traffic and Pedestrian Details

•  A minimum of 1.5 metres will be maintained for pedestrian.
• Access to the Green P off of Eglinton Ave will be closed. Please use access on Lanark Ave.
• As always, please take care when travelling near work sites
