What work is starting?
What: Crews will be removing and protecting trees.
Why: Trees will be removed to make way for utility relocation and the construction of various structures connected with the twin tunnels for the Eglinton Crosstown. The project has obtained all appropriate permissions and permits to remove selected trees which are in conflict with the tunnel construction. Tree protection will also be installed around selected trees that are near the various construction sites.
Where: One crew will be removing trees at selected locations along the Eglinton Crosstown route on City of Toronto right of ways and Metrolinx lands. In some circumstances, a limited temporary sidewalk closure may be required for public safety.
When: During March and April 2013, a crew will be removing and/or protecting trees at these specific locations from 9am to 5pm, along the corridor, subject to weather condition or unforeseen circumstances.
Ben Nobleman Park
Along the sidewalk edge of Ben Nobleman Park, six trees will be removed. Protection of trees adjacent to the construction zone, at the park edge, will be erected to the park. Particular attention and protection of the trees has been taken during the design process and now during construction to protect the park trees and the Community Orchard.
