This report is submitted to Infrastructure and Environment Committee as Broadway Avenue forms a shared boundary between the Toronto and East York Community Council and the North York Community Council. Hazelview Investments is constructing one 38-storey residential rental tower at 73 Broadway Avenue that will be connected to the remaining portion of 75 Broadway Avenue through the common first-floor and underground parking. The site is located on the south side of Broadway Avenue, mid-block between Yonge Street and Redpath Avenue. The south sidewalk and a 2.7 metre-wide portion of the westbound south-side curb lane on Broadway Avenue are currently closed for construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the south side of Broadway Avenue are maintained in a 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. City Council, at its meeting on November 9, 10 and 12, 2021, approved the subject construction staging area, between a point 71.5 metres west of Redpath Avenue and a point 40.5 metres further west, from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023. At the time, the developer indicated they would require the staging area for a total of 42 months, from March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. As the previous permit was only approved for a 12-month period, and as the developer has had experienced delays due to labour issues, the developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Broadway Avenue in order to complete the construction of the development. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area from March 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025 to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.
