Toronto's newest public realm project – the Toronto Book Garden - honours books and offers a glimpse into the city’s literary history. In 2014, Toronto City Council decided to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the City of Toronto Book Awards through the establishment of the Toronto Book Garden.
The Toronto Book Garden includes paving stones engraved with the names of all recipients of the City of Toronto Book Award back to 1974 when the award was first made. New stones will be added each year for future recipients of the Toronto Book Award.
City of Toronto partners for this project, overseen by Transportation Services, Public Realm Section were Harbourfront Centre, which provided the location, Waterfront Toronto, responsible for design and installation, the International Festival of Authors, The Word On The Street Toronto, the City of Toronto Book Awards, Brookfield, and the Ward 20 (Trinity-Spadina) office.

Notice of Upcoming Work
Queen’s Park Reconstruction Project
What is happening?
Several stone panels will be removed from the exterior walls of the Macdonald Block Complex as part of an ongoing building condition assessment. The stones will be reinstated once they have been examined. The Macdonald Block Complex includes the Macdonald Block Podium, Hearst, Hepburn, Mowat and Ferguson Towers.
When?
This assessment will begin on September 5, 2017 and will continue through November 2017. Work will occur during regular business hours, however, there will be some activities after business hours and on Saturdays. All work will be conducted in compliance with the City of Toronto Noise by-law.
How will this affect me?
A mast climber (i.e., metal scaffolding with a moveable work platform) will be erected on one façade of each tower and in select locations on the ground-level of the Macdonald Block Complex podium in order to remove the stone panels. In most cases, the access equipment will be installed behind the safety fencing already in place. If required, additional safety fencing will be installed. Barrier-free paths of travel to all main building entrances of the Macdonald Block Complex will be maintained.
Intermittent construction noise will be heard when workers are removing and reinstating the stone. These activities – including any after-hours work – will be conducted in compliance with the City of Toronto Noise by-law.
We thank you for your patience and cooperation as this work is being completed.

Queen’s Park Reconstruction Project
What is happening?
A geotechnical investigation is underway to test soil conditions in a variety of locations on the Macdonald Block Complex property (900 Bay Street). Drill rigs began digging boreholes (deep holes approximately 15cm wide) at identified locations around the complex in December. In order to complete the investigation of 900 Bay Street, short-term traffic lane closures will be required in June and potentially July 2017.
When?
Early June to July 2017 between approximately 9am and 4pm (weekdays only)
How will this affect me?
The remaining boreholes are located along the outer perimeter of the Macdonald Block Complex property line. In order to access these locations, a drill rig will be positioned within the curb lane, and in some cases, the bicycle lane, resulting in short-term traffic restrictions at:
· Bay Street just north of 880 Bay Street
· Wellesley Street just west of Bay Street
The curb lane closures will occur during daytime hours only – the outside traffic lane will remain open at all times. The curb lane and bicycle lane will re-open to traffic once work is completed each day. Sidewalks will remain open however minor pedestrian diversions may be required. All traffic and pedestrian restrictions have been coordinated with the City of Toronto. Appropriate signage and personnel will be in place while the work is underway.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
