The Public Works Building on York Road was a condemned building, causing health and safety concerns for city staff due to hydrocarbon contamination on the property. The first step in remediating the property and building the new City Operations Centre is to get rid of the buildings already on the property, and that means that the former Public Works Building has to go down.
Last week, PCL Construction set to work clearing the site and removing existing buildings, so that work can continue and the Public Works department can get closer to a new facility.
