The changes will also “provide visitors (with) more space for physical distancing, and to support economic recovery,” said Deputy Mayor Jesse Helmer.

Temporary loading zones in the area will also be adjusted.

The intersections on Dundas Street at both Clarence and Richmond streets will remain open for traffic travelling north and south.
