The residents of Liberty Village had their voices heard and, as a result, hundreds of Ontario Line construction dump trucks are no longer set to clog their main road.

In last Wednesday’s Construction Liaison Committee meeting, Metrolinx brought forward changes to that plan that would mainly keep these trucks off their main roads. “I think the community is very happy, we’re very happy,” Kurien told CTV News Toronto in an interview on Thursday. “We felt that actually helped make Metrolinx rethink the whole project.”
“We need more transit options across the City and the Ontario Line will serve hundreds of thousands of residents including those in Liberty Village. As this important infrastructure gets built, Metrolinx must minimize disruptions and impacts to residents and businesses while it is constructed.
“Strachan Avenue will only be used as a backup route when absolutely necessary – for example, when we need to deliver machines to the site. The majority of the hauling will take place using the new route that will connect to Dufferin Street.”
