Don Mills Crossing is an initiative lead by the City of Toronto City Planning Division that will examine ways to focus and shape anticipated growth around the intersection of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East anchored by the transit infrastructure being constructed as part of the Crosstown LRT.
Building on the work of Eglinton Connects, Don Mills Crossing will look to improve connections to the surrounding areas, lay out a network of open space and identify community services necessary to support new growth. This a key city building moment for Don Mills & Eglinton.
Don Mills Crossing will result in a new planning framework, which will include implementation measures to support co-ordinated development of employment, residential and community uses.
Pop-ups
Over July, August and September the Don Mills Crossing team was out at various locations and community events to discuss the upcoming Don Mills Crossing study. Over the course of our four ‘pop-up’ events we spoke with over 200 residents learning about their favourite places in the area. Summaries of these events can be found on our website.
