Parking Disruption
The Hanson Memorial Parking Structure Restoration project is now underway. The work will take place throughout all levels of the building and will include efforts such as routine structural maintenance, repainting, replacement of waterproofing materials and upgrades to the building mechanical/electrical systems. The work is planned to conclude in late December 2024.
The work will be completed in phases to allow the building to remain open to public parking for the duration of the project. It is anticipated that no more than 50% of the available 271 parking spaces will be closed at any time. There is also parking availability at the Chown Memorial and Robert Bruce Memorial parking garages in the two adjacent blocks to the west.
Other Delays
- Queen St. – Montreal St. to Sydenham St. – expect an eastbound lane closure until May 15. Detours will be in place for the duration of the lane closure.
