The PEDs are approved scope, added by Council.
But they were added after the broad strokes budget.
The budget number is still very, very preliminary, and the cost of the PEDs is well less than the project contingency. Not to worry.

Anyone else read PED as "performance-enhancing drugs" every time?

Over on The One thread, I was lamenting the never-ending construction at Yonge & Bloor and that once The One is finished, we still have this Station Capacity enhancement project. By the time this is done, it will have been 20+ years of non stop construction at this intersection.
Do we know the scope of the work above ground? Are they going to open up the road and sidewalks for this or will the work happen underground?
P.S. I found it funny that the Firkin's London Underground sign was there as if predicting that this very spot would become a subway entrance
Yorkville has gone downhill because of the amount of non-stop construction. This intersection in particular has been an exhaustingly persistent construction zone for over a decade. One Bloor East, then The One, then the Lululemon at 1 Bloor West and soon The Bay redevelopment and the Bloor subway platform expansion. It'll be 20+ years before you can walk through Yonge-Bloor without going under hoardings and getting muddy shoes.
It. Just. Never. Ends.

Hydro and sewer has already been relocated on Bloor East. Construction access points will presumably be on the demolished properties at 40/42 Hayden, 81 Bloor E, and 830 Church.
Major construction probably won’t ramp up until the implementation phase, best case Q1 2027.

Thank you. So no more need to open up the road and sidewalk? The area in blue will be dug out from an access point?
As a neighbourhood resident, I'm just so exhausted by the construction. A couple working on pile driving One Bloor East and taking inspiration from their occupation title would have a fully grown 20 year old adult son by the time all this construction at Yonge-Bloor is over.
(I worked too hard at this joke, please clap)
From July 2011:
The One Bloor East site is just begging to get drilled (just like 'jo mama).

Sorry.
It will be coming back up again. Not sure how long it will be open, but it will be a bit. Streetscape restoration......maybe 2029?
Lots of details still to iron out.
Ya never know someone might think of something innovative. But.....yeah.

TTC awards contract for next phase of Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvement project
April 3, 2025
The TTC has awarded the Progressive Design-Build contract for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvement (BYCI) project to Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture (KMJV). The BYCI project will significantly expand and rehabilitate the existing subway station to improve efficiency and capacity and reduce overcrowding during rush hours. The decision to award the contract to KMJV was approved by the TTC Board at their February 24, 2025, meeting.
KMJV will work collaboratively with the TTC to advance the design of the BYCI project to approximately 70 per cent and develop a schedule and target pricing for implementation. This phase is expected to take approximately two years.
“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, Ontario is making historic investments in public transit and carrying out the largest subway expansion in Canadian history to combat gridlock and connect Ontarians to housing and jobs,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation. “Our government is proud to support this critical project which will increase capacity at Bloor-Yonge Station and help tens of thousands of daily riders get to their destinations quickly, making their commute easier and more convenient.”
“Toronto is a rapidly growing city, and we have to make sure that public transit infrastructure keeps up with the pace of growth,” said Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “I am pleased to see that the Bloor-Yonge station expansion continues to advance, and am grateful to all levels of government for their continued support of transit in our city.”
“Bloor-Yonge Station is one of the TTC’s busiest stations, and this project is essential to ensuring that the station can continue to handle the high volume of commuters safely for years to come,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “Congratulations to Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture on winning this contract, and we look forward to the next steps in this project.”
The Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvement project is being completed under a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) procurement model, which has three phases: Procurement, Development and Implementation. Once the development phase is completed, TTC Board approval will be required to move to the implementation phase, where station design will be completed and construction will begin.
The total cost for the Bloor-Yonge Station Capacity Improvement project is currently estimated at $1.5 billion, to be funded jointly by the City of Toronto, the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada. Work will include the construction of a second platform on Line 2 for eastbound service, an expansion of the Line 1 northbound and southbound platforms, new elevators, escalators and stairs, and the construction of a new accessible entrance and exit on the south side of Bloor Street East.
Once complete, this project will increase the station’s capacity and accessibility. More information is available at www.ttc.ca/blooryonge.

What happened here? @Northern Light mentioned them being within the budget before I think?
