Does GO Transit have to close any roads to complete the Georgetown South Project?
GO Transit is committed to reducing the impact on the community as much as possible. Our priority is community safety and that is why we are working with the City of Toronto, elected officials and community members to ensure that we come up with the best possible solution. In order to create a safe underpass at Denison Road. in Weston, we need to cul-de-sac Sam Frustaglio Drive. If the road were to remain open, it would create a very steep, unsafe intersection at Denison Road. Also, several homes along Sam Frustaglio Drive would have to be purchased and the residents displaced. The safest option is to cul-de-sac the street which offers new green space and reduces through traffic in the neighbourhood. A new stop light will be installed at Wright Avenue to allow motorists to safely turn northbound on Jane Street. There will also be temporary road closures along the corridor for periods of time to accommodate construction.
