They’re definitely not widening Sherbourne anytime soon.

Will never understand why they would sacrifice the corner of a building which everyone wants for better natural light and views, just to install blank walls that add nothing to the design of the building. It doesn’t make the building better, makes it worse.

Maybe not this fall but it IS being widened/straightened. The work on Lower Sherbourne may be a City-run project though paid for by the developer. They have quite a bit of preparation to do first including relocating Hydro poles on west side of the street and moving the fire hydrant on QQE that is in the path of the wider street

Those large beams are for the span of the large residential loading dock. The 6.1m area is for the garbage trucks so @Diablo1983 won’t hear trucks backing up multiple times at 5:30 a.m.

Yeah but the fact that they've built the curb across the widened section tells me not to expect the widening to actually happen for a while - my guess is when the WELRT gets put in and they have to tear it all back up and do relos anyways.

Pinnacle doesn't bug me - it was the Ontario Line dump trucks that staged on Queens Quay East and idled for hours on end starting at like 5 am. The one "pro" to having the nightmare of barrels and lane alignments east of Sherbourne now is they can't use QQE as a staging site. My guess is they now idle on Lakeshore west of Cherry?

Maybe, but the City wants to get that block of Lower Sherbourne back to two-way traffic so I suspect it will be done - sooner than later.

The contractor has now put down the concrete base for the new street - note that they did not do this for the section that will be the wider part of Lower Sherbourne.
