The roads surrounding the Trump Tower in the city’s financial district have reopened after officials determined that an unstable antenna on top of the high-rise poses no risk to public safety.

Yesterday morning, the city shut down Bay Street, between King and Richmond streets, and Adelaide Street eastbound from York Street, after receiving calls about a swaying antenna atop the 65-storey building. The road closures then remained in effect throughout Monday and most for most of Tuesday as engineers inspected the antenna.

Police then reopened the roads at around 4:30 p.m.

It is not immediately clear whether or not any repairs were conducted to the platform but police told reporters at the scene that they have been assured that there is “absolutely no public safety threat” going forward.

“The decision to close the roads was taken out of appropriate concerns for public safety. On Monday morning workers on the roof of the Trump Tower identified a potential concern with the platform beneath the spire and reported it to Toronto Police who, in turn, reported it to the City,” a statement issued by Mayor John Tory’s office on Tuesday afternoon reads. “The roads could not be re-opened until engineers had declared the structure sound and city building officials had confirmed that independently.”

The developer of Trump Tower, Talon International Development, has not yet commented on what measures were taken to address the issue with the platform.

In a statement issued Monday night, however, the company did note that any structural concerns were determined to be unsubstantiated.

“During routine preventative maintenance on the roof top, Trump Hotel management was apprised by the crew that a portion of the spire may need further inspection,” the statement read. “Talon’s technical specialist was quickly dispatched to the area, and found that the concerns were unsubstantiated. Talon is continuing its due diligence and is now awaiting a final report from its technical team.”

Tory says developer should be held accountable

The closure of two busy streets for close to two days required a significant police presence and will certainly come with a financial cost.

Speaking with reporters earlier on Tuesday, Tory said he intends to look to Talon International Development to cover some of that cost.

"There was a considerable cost and a considerable disruption to the city that resulted from what went on in the last 24 hours," he said. "I would like to make sure there is accountability for that, both in terms of people who did or didn’t do things they should do but also in terms of financial accountability because there is a big cost to this as well."
