    The Esplanade closed to vehicular traffic Dec 6 evening between Yonge Street and Scott Street.

    December 6, 2012 by Leave a comment

    Please note that The Esplanade will be closed to vehicular traffic tonight — December 6, 2012 – between Yonge Street and Scott Street.

    City of Toronto subcontractor OJCR Construction was not able to complete their key task today. This is due to the Hydro One service being too close to the water main. OJCR has to tunnel under hydro.

    The City of Toronto has been notified about the street closure and it has been approved.

    We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Recap on Dec 5 Long Reach Back-hoe delivery

    December 5, 2012 by Leave a comment

    UPDATE: The Long Reach Back-hoe that was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, December 5, under police escort between 6:20 am and 7:00 am. It actually arrived at 5:30 am as the City of Toronto permit stipulated that the semi-trailer float (truck) had to be out of the downtown core prior to 6:00 am. Unfortunately we did not receive accurate information on the timing of the delivery.

    On December 4 we were advised by subcontractor GFL Excavating that the back-hoe was coming early in the morning, instead of the originally and preferred plan to deliver it at midday. GFL could not get a permit for midday because City of Toronto staff considered the impact on daytime traffic would be too onerous. The permit was issued for 5 am to 6 am delivery and GFL was instructed by the City and the Police to have their large delivery truck off the site an out of the downtown by 6:00 am.

    In this case the regulations for large deliveries trumped the regulations for construction noise; the regulating bodies determined that the traffic regulations trumped the standard construction noise regulations.
