The eglintonTOday project team has been working closely with the local Councillors, Business Improvement Associations (BIAs) and community groups in refining Phase 1 of the eglintonTOday Complete Street plan from Bicknell Avenue (west of Keele Street) to Mount Pleasant Road.

Project installation between Chaplin and Avenue will begin this summer with the rest of Phase One scheduled for 2025. This includes:

• Resurfacing of the sections of roadway that have not been recently resurfaced by Metrolinx
• Ongoing sidewalk repairs
• Connecting the existing Metrolinx-built Complete Street segment with elements including protected bikeways
• Development of public realm improvement projects in collaboration with the five BIAs along the corridor, such as added seating and artistic curb extensions

Stakeholder Advisory Group

Staff continue to actively engage local business, community and resident groups through the eglintonToday Stakeholder Advisory Group. Transportation Services has received key feedback on congestion at Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road since the new signal and road configuration was activated by Metrolinx as part of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT delivery. While not initially within the scope of the City’s eglintonTOday project, Transportation Services accelerated the handover of the intersection to the City in order to implement operational improvements at these signals. This has helped to address congestion at the Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road intersection while coordinating implementation dates with Metrolinx and Crosslinx.
