What is Happening?

Work on the installation of a 7-meter-high sound wall for the newly reconfigured Gertrude gate has been completed. The gate is now ready for use as an egress gate to support Pape SOE excavation, TTC Box underpinning, and future station works. 

Operations of the gate will begin as early as Monday, September 28.  To support reconfiguration, the sidewalks at Muriel Avenue and Gertrude Place have been fully restored to improve accessibility.
