Pedestrian walkway and traffic restrictions near Harry W. Arthurs Common

Due to construction activities related to underground utilities, the colonnade and sidewalk between the Burton Auditorium and the Centre for Film & Theatre will be closed during all hours from Tuesday, Oct. 13, to Tuesday, Nov. 17.

A new temporary crosswalk and a pedestrian detour route will be constructed around the site (see map below). Community members can also choose to take the weather-protected accessible route through the Accolade West Building, behind the Burton Auditorium and through the Centre for Film & Theatre.
