By implementing a full closure, the overall duration needed to complete work within this intersection will be shortened and both utility and track work will be completed during this period.
The plan is to re-instate access through this intersection prior to schools recommencing in September
Work Details
- Planned construction activities include a new watermain installation, sanitary sewer connection, removal of old storm sewers, new storm sewer construction with added capacity, Enbridge gas main work, and TTC track installation.

- Queen streetcar service and traffic to be restored on Queen Street across Broadview intersection
- Drivers to divert around Eastern/Leslie via alternate north/south routes (Coxwell, Carlaw) and alternative east/west routes (i.e. Lake Shore, Queen)

- Access to businesses east and west of intersection maintained
- Access to Lake Shore plazas maintained

Pedestrian/Cyclist Access
- Pedestrian access to all properties on Leslie between Queen and Eastern will be maintained at all times
- Pedestrian crossings at Eastern and Leslie will be maintained, but relocated around the excavated area and work zone to ensure safety
- Due to limited space for crossings around the closure, cyclists will be temporarily asked to dismount and walk at the crossing.
TTC Service Changes
- Streetcar service will be restored on Queen Street.
- The 143 Beach Express bus will be temporarily re-routed. Routing details will be posted at www.ttc.ca (see “Route Diversions”)
