City of Toronto Eglinton Connects Planning Study

October 7, 2013

The City of Toronto is hosting a series of meetings to present the results of the Eglinton Connects planning study. These meetings will be held on October 7^th, 8^th and 9^th at locations across the corridor.

Some of the recommendations to be presented include:

Four general traffic lanes for the majority of Eglinton, with on street parking similar to what exists today;
For Avenue Road to Mt. Pleasant, where the volume of traffic is lower, two general traffic lanes plus a left turn lane, with dedicated on-street parking in lay-by spaces;
A continuous protected bike lane along Eglinton, from Black Creek to Brentcliffe (standard bike lanes are already approved between Brentcliffe & Kennedy);
Wider sidewalks, plus room for big trees, benches and patios;
New public spaces, including parks, plazas and forecourts; and
Permitting mid-rise buildings along Eglinton, and taller than mid-rise in certain Focus Areas.

Drop in any time between 6:30 and 9:00pm. The presentation will begin at 7:00pm and staff will be on hand to answer any questions. We look forward to seeing you there.
