T3 Sterling Rd

We are aware that there is quite a bit of dust, vibrations and noise currently. We are mitigating wherever possible and tracking where necessary. To mitigate dust, we are applying water to the soil when the ground is dry. To track vibrations, we have installed monitors which send constant notifications, and alert us when measurements exceed the allowable levels. The bulk of the work causing dust and vibrations will be taking place throughout the remainder of June, July and part of August, so it is likely the current conditions will persist throughout that time period.

Sterling Subdivision Improvements

Work on the Subdivision Improvement, specifically the realignment of Perth and the creation of the new West Toronto Rail Path connection, will begin in earnest in the coming weeks. In preparation for that work, the trees immediately south of Perth Avenue were removed.

The first phase of construction will be the remediation of soils south of Perth Avenue. This excavation, removal of soil, and backfill will ensure the future West Toronto Railpath connection and Perth Avenue will be free from contamination.

Because of this work, the temporary WTRP connection that was created just south of the new townhomes on Perth Avenue will be temporarily closed for up to 3 months. Access to the WTRP will still be available via Bloor Street and Dundas Street. The temporary signage installed directing people to this access point will be removed to avoid any confusion with residents.

T3 Sterling Road Buildings

Additional temporary hoarding (fencing/walls) have been installed onsite for safety reasons to secure the site. A process is underway to procure and install graphics/artwork on the hoarding to make it more attractive during construction.

We have recently received our permit to begin excavation. As such, drilling of caissons will commence in the coming weeks to facilitate excavation for the buildings and the future parking garage.

Thanks

The first stage of construction is mobilization, hoarding/fencing to secure the site, and the installation of site trailers in preparation to start excavation. There will not be a significant number of workers onsite during this first stage of construction, and parking will be accommodated within the site’s boundaries. Trades have been told that under no circumstances may they park on the street within the community – if anyone is not abiding by these rules please contact us directly (brett.noiles@hines.com) so we can resolve.

Completing this milestone puts us one step closer to turning this underutilized land into beautiful timber buildings that will complement the neighbourhood aesthetic and positively add to the fabric of this community. We look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Thanks,

Brett

Signage has been installed to inform WTRP users of the temporary access path which will remain open until works on the permanent path begin in Spring 2021.

Signage also informs users/community of the closing of the interim WTRP access at 150 Sterling. This closure is necessary to ensure public and worker safety while Rio Tinto carries out work related to the Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) along the southern property line of the Hines development on Sterling Road. 

Rio Tinto contractors will be on site for roughly 8 weeks starting January 11, 2021. All Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MOECP), City of Toronto and Toronto Public Health regulations and COVID guidelines will be adhered to while on site.

Thanks
