Lake Shore Blvd West and Kipling - Track Renewal 2022
Timeline: July 20 to 22, 2022
*Content / timeline accurate at time of printing – subject to change
What we are doing and why
The City and TTC are in the process of replacing the streetcar tracks at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Kipling Avenue. Preliminary prep work at the intersection has already begun. To complete this portion of the project, there will be a full intersection closure of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Kipling Avenue starting Monday, July 25 until Monday, August 1.
TTC rail delivery and storage
As part of track renewal projects, equipment and materials are stored close to the site. Rail panels will be delivered to the area on flatbed trailers starting July 20, 2022. For a short period of time prior to being installed, TTC will store rail panels in the centre lanes at the following locations:
- two flatbed trailers on Lake Shore east of Kipling
- two on Lake Shore west of Kipling
- three to four on Kipling north of Lake Shore
The flat bed trailers will be removed from site as the track work and new rail installation progresses over the course of the project.
Work hours – some night activity
Periods of around-the-clock work during rail installation by TTC is required to preserve the integrity and quality of new rail and concrete and support the daytime work. Overnight rail work by TTC may consist of moving new rail into position, rail installation and rail welding/grinding.
Further details on the project can be found on the City of Toronto’s website: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructureprojects/lake-shore-west-construction
Thank you for your patience as the TTC undertakes critical work to improve transit infrastructure in Toronto.
