The transition back to two-way vehicular traffic operations on Queens Quay will commence on Monday June 1, 2015. From that day until June 10, eight Queens Quay intersections with the new traffic controllers and associated signal lights will be commissioned. The transition will commence from the east at Bay St. and work west to Lower Spadina Ave. and Yo-Yo Ma Lane. By June 10, it is anticipated that two-way traffic operations will be fully commissioned for the entire Queens Quay Revitalization project site.

“I look at this and I think, ‘there is no way you’re going to be done in 84 days,’” said CityNews' Cynthia Mulligan in an April 17 interview with our Chief Operating Officer, David Kusturin.
