Stretch of Bloor Street West gets $6-million power back-up system

Toronto Hydro is improving the reliability of a stretch of Bloor from Montrose to Clinton and up to Dupont in order to safeguard the area against large-scale power outages.

Part of a multi-phase project focused on the downtown core, the project is meant to build in redundancies to the system in the area between two transformer stations at Dufferin and Bridgman, according to spokeswoman Denise Atallah, "in the event of a large-scale outage, the project is intended to re-route power to a different station."

The project, which has been on the go since April and is set to be completed in December, will cost about $6 million.
