As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Davenport Road, City Council approval of this report is required. 321 Davenport Road Limited is constructing a 9-storey residential condominium building at 321 Davenport Road. The site is located on the south side Davenport Road between Dupont Street and Bedford Road. Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the south sidewalk, south side parking lane, south side bicycle lane, and the south side eastbound lane on Davenport Road for a period of 8 months, from December 14, 2023 to July 31, 2024 inclusive to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian movements on the south side of Davenport Road, abutting the site, will be maintained in a minimum 1.8 metre-wide covered and protected walkway. The eastbound bicycle lane will be temporarily closed, and cyclists will be redirected to a 1.8-metre-wide exclusive bicycle lane within the existing eastbound lane. The construction staging area will result in the loss of five on-street parking machine spaces on the south side of Davenport Road. To accommodate the required staging area, Transportation Services is also requesting the authority for the General Manager of Transportation Services to issue Temporary Street Occupation permits for the developer on Davenport Road, notwithstanding that not all the criteria within the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, for so doing would be met.
