Construction and Road Closures
The Waterfront BIA has worked to aggregate current and upcoming construction notices from various sources, including The City of Toronto, Waterfront Toronto, and Toronto Hydro.
As a representative of the business community through the area, the Waterfront BIA seeks to advocate to ensure that these projects are completed quickly and on time, and with a limited impact on people’s enjoyment of the waterfront.
