Motorists are asked to have continued patience as the TTC reconstruct the streetcar tracks on Lake Shore Blvd. W, from Louisa Street to Mimico Avenue.
The City and TTC workers will also be replacing the street car tracks at the intersection of Kipling Avenue and Lake Shore Blvd. W., including work at the Kipling Loop and road resurfaced north of the Kipling and Lake Shore intersection, officials said.
The horn-blowing and slowdowns from motorists will continue until early September, when the work is scheduled to be completed.
“This work is required to bring the track infrastructure to a state of good repair and is part of the Council-approved 2022 Capital Works Program,” City officials said.
The TTC said the construction work on Lake Shore Blvd. W. will be completed in three phases.

Phase 1 is from Louisa Street to Mimico Avenue. Phase 2 will be at Kipling Avenue at Lake Shore Bld. W. intersection. Phase 3 will be at the Kipling Loop and 100 meters north on Kipling Ave.
The TTC warned that after Phase 3 is completed, a watermain replacement project will start on Seventeenth Street in September so more road closures or detours in the area can be expected.
There will also be parking restrictions at several work zone sites on both sides of Lake Shore Blvd. W.
