Busy Toronto street braces for years of Ontario Line construction headaches Toronto OntarioLine Construction
to traffic for years, and interests representing Yonge Street and its surroundings are preparing for the extended disruptions with a plan to keep the area thriving through the traffic chaos.
Yonge Street will remain open as a north-south artery during the lengthy Ontario Line construction period, but Queen Street will be closed to traffic on either side for a period of over four years, creating messy conditions along the heart of Toronto's central north-south thoroughfare. Recognizing the challenging conditions ahead for businesses, residents and visitors to one of the city's most-travelled areas, the Downtown Yonge BIA has announced a multi-pronged plan to mitigate expected disruption to the shops, restaurants, offices, and residences that populate the densely-packed area.
"The Ontario Line is a welcome addition to Toronto's transit network and we look forward to it being built. While it is being built, we are taking steps to ease the impact of construction – to keep our community safe, clean and vibrant," says Cheryll Diego, Downtown Yonge's Public Realm Experience Director.
