Construction Update: TTC Intersection Renewal Starting this weekend + City Road Resurfacing

The City of Toronto and Toronto Transit Commission will be renewing aging streetcar tracks at the intersection of Lansdowne Avenue and Dundas Street West starting this weekend.

The City will also resurface Dufferin Street from Bloor Street West to Dundas Street West starting September 10, 2018 to November 30, 2018. Our inspection of the road shows that it needs repaving and sections of damaged curb and sidewalk need to be replaced to bring them to a state of good repair.

Motorists are reminded to abide by traffic/construction signs posted in local areas to ensure the safe travel of all local road users, pedestrians and cyclists. This work is required to bring the track infrastructure and City's road to a state of good repair. These projects are part of the Council- approved 2018 Capital Works Program.
