Accessibility Improvements Underway at 803–815 St. Clair Avenue West

The Hillcrest Village BIA is pleased to announce that the Capital Cost Share Accessibility Project at 803–815 St. Clair Avenue West is now underway. The project has commenced on schedule, beginning with the removal of existing railings, which are set to be reinstalled later this spring, weather permitting. Crews are carefully demolishing the existing cement planters one at a time, using protective measures to minimize dust and disruption. We’re happy to report that the work site has been maintained exceptionally well, with a strong focus on cleanliness and organization throughout the process.

To ensure smooth coordination, the BIA Board of Management will be meeting bi-weekly with the Construction Manager, Architect, and City of Toronto Streetscape team from early April through the first week of June. These meetings will take place virtually and, at times, on-site to monitor progress and address any updates.

Informational posters will be installed along the construction fencing and within participating businesses, showcasing before-and-after visuals and keeping the community informed.

All businesses within the project area remain open and fully operational during this initial phase, continuing to provide the same high level of service to customers.

We look forward to the transformation ahead and are excited to bring a more accessible, welcoming streetscape to the community.

For any questions or concerns regarding the project, please don’t hesitate to contact the Hillcrest Village BIA team, we’re happy to assist.
