Station Contractor Begins Work for York University Station November 2013

November 1, 2013

Work will soon begin on the next phase of station construction with the mobilization by the York University Subway Station contractor EllisDon. EllisDon will begin bringing equipment and forces onto the York University Station construction site as they gear up for full mobilization and the next number of years of subway station construction. The site is located between York Boulevard and the Kaneff Tower/Archives Building and Ian Macdonald Boulevard near the Seymour Schulich Building. Work will take place in the Contractor Work Zones and Station construction areas on the map below.

Early mobilization work includes:

• Starting on November 2, 2013, water will be pumped out of the station box. There will be some construction related noise related to the pumping.
• Contractor site preparation which includes extending the construction site fencing on Ian Macdonald Boulevard across from the Archives of Ontario.
• Mobilization of heavy equipment on to the site.
• The erection of two (2) tower cranes on the east and west ends of the construction site (red circles on map).

Pedestrian Access

• Pedestrians are reminded to be alert and use designated walkways and crosswalks.

Work Hours

• Construction activities will normally run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

The City of Toronto normal working hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. However, the City of Toronto has approved a noise by-law amendment for major transit projects which allows contractors to perform overnight and weekend work for the duration of the project, when required. Extended work hours are expected to occur within the hoarded construction site at York University. When extended hours are scheduled at the York University Station Site, construction related notices will be issued.
