A map by the city's public works department(external link) showcases the wide scope of ongoing roadwork in that part of the city.
Since July, York Boulevard has been under construction from Dundurn Street N., and Caroline Street, as part of a larger project including bike lanes and watermain installation, which is also affecting Cannon Street W., between Queen Street N., and James Street N.
When that project started, the city said it would end in December and resume in April.
On Wednesday local food delivery business Mrktbox shared a video on Instagram(external link) saying the road work has been hard on their business and on the Strathcona Market. They shared alternate directions people can use to get to the market this weekend, and said they'll be hosting a pizza party and holiday disco.
