BIA Construction Toolkit: Lessons Learned from the Eglinton Crosstown
Major infrastructure projects can have substantial impacts on nearby small businesses. While some disruption is inevitable, early engagement and planning are essential, as opportunities to adjust diminish once construction is underway.
We encourage BIAs and local businesses to proactively participate in the early stages of project planning and to leverage available mitigation strategies. Experience from projects like Eglinton Crosstown project demonstrates that delayed involvement often results in avoidable challenges for the business community.
