Building Toronto
I got a great example for you. During construction of Humber River Hospital, before the parking garage was opening, there were 1300 workers (at peak) on site. The general contractor provided zero parking, as they have no obligation to do so, and there are no parking spaces in the neighborhood for public use. I believe that the nearest public pay lot was at Wilson station, which fills up quickly, especially as the Yorkdale lot closed at around the same time. Some of the subcontractors did arrange agreements with a couple local apartment buildings, and people did rent out driveways, but there simply was not enough parking spaces in that neighborhood to accommodate such an influx.I don't disagree with any of that. But the contractor should arrange for the necessary off-street parking and/or facilities for such equipment. .
Generally downtown, this is not as much of an issue, as there are plenty of parking garages, but there are certain pockets where it can be a problem. Bridgepoint Hospital was also a pain, from what I remember.
The problem that was photographed in the first thread, is also mostly confined to road/utility construction (IMO) and is not as common on ICI or residential sites.
