Construction projects are plentiful across the City of Toronto and these sites change how Torontonians are able to get around.
As a result, the City of Toronto is now working to make construction sites more accessible for all pedestrians, including mobility device users and people with invisible disabilities and will make it clear what it and isn’t acceptable at a site.
The city said uneven sidewalks, temporary boards and mazes forcing pedestrians onto street level is not acceptable.
The Infrastructure and Environment Committee adopted a motion Wednesday requesting the General Manager of Transportation Services to work with construction companies to ensure each site is safe for all pedestrians.
