The recent Toronto Streetscape presentation to the Toronto Chamber of Commerce shared the following.
- Due to significant wet weather, the five fig tree removals planned for 5/6/16 has been postponed until Sunday 10 July. There’s still time to take your memorial fig & family happy snaps.
- Council crews are still anticipated to commence construction of new garden beds and footpaths 13th June, with work starting from the corner of Victory Parade and The Boulevarde.
- Work will be undertaken in 50m sections with a projected timeline of 58 weeks of dry weather.
- There will be 23 Weeping Lilly Pilly trees,(Waterhousea floribunda) that will replace the figs, they will be installed in Stratavaults, a system that allows for optimal root growth without impacting on infrastructure.
- The Streetscape project is currently only funded for works on the southern side of The Boulevarde. The Toronto Chamber of Commerce (TCC) successfully applied for a Stronger Communities grant that will enable cleaning of the pavement and matching infrastructure to be installed on the northern side of the street, working with the Toronto Men’s Shed and local work skills projects.
- Planned road works will follow on straight after the streetscaping project is completed.
- The TCC will be requesting a community consultation process to discuss parking or traffic issues.
- Local businesses will receive fortnightly updates and there will be a 1hr weekly drop in session at the library.
- The 100 year old Hunter Water main in the middle of the road is still in good condition and won’t need replacing for another 20 years.
