Please be advised of essential rail repair work at Dundas Street West and Sterling Road, scheduled from December 5 to December 19, 2024. TTC crews will replace switches, repair expansion joints, and install new concrete as part of ongoing efforts to maintain safe and reliable streetcar infrastructure.
Work will begin at 11 p.m. on December 5 and will continue around the clock until completion. Excavation activities, including heavy breaking, will occur at various times of the day, with the majority of noise concentrated between 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Overnight rail work is also required to ensure quality installation.
Traffic will be maintained in curb lanes through the work zone, with cyclists and vehicles sharing lanes. Temporary adjustments to the 505/305 Dundas and 506/306 Carlton streetcar routes, including replacement buses, will be in effect.

Jane Station On-Grade Paving Rehabilitation
As part of the State of Good Repair Program, from July 2024 to early December 2024, the TTC improved the Jane Station bus loop by installing new concrete to replace sections of damaged asphalt. The work was required to preserve the bus loop's structure. The work has been safely completed earlier than expected, allowing the bus loop to resume service for customer drop-off on December 9, 2024. Customer pick-up will remain on-street until February 16, 2025, to allow the TTC to accommodate final commissioning works at the bus loop and ongoing adjustments to scheduled bus service. Beyond that date, regular service will resume at the bus loop.

*NEW DATE* Committee of Adjustment Application, 1375 Queen St W
Date changed due to Canada Post strike
The applicant received site plan approval for a 7-storey mixed-use building having a residential gross floor area of 3312 square metres, and a non-residential gross floor area of 268 square metres. 47 rental dwelling units were proposed.
The applicant has now filed an application to increase the height to 8-storeys, reduce the rear building step-back above the fifth storey, reduce the outdoor amenity space, and eliminating on-site parking.
This proposal for an additional storey requires a Committee of Adjustment Minor variance. The site also requires Site Plan application approval.
The Committee of Adjustment Minor Variance request will be heard on January 8 2025.
As Councillor Perks appoints citizens to the Committee of Adjustment to make decisions on minor variances and, on the advice of the Integrity Commissioner, Councillor Perks cannot attempt to influence a member's decision on an application. He does not communicate with the panel members at committee or through written comment about the application.
The Committee of Adjustment process does offer an opportunity for the public to participate in the process. Community members have an opportunity to comment on the application at the virtual Committee of Adjustment hearing.
