The City of Toronto is inviting residents to learn more and provide feedback on proposed changes to Ingleton Boulevard. Ingleton is part of the Alton Towers Neighbourhood Connections project, which aims to create safer and more accessible neighbourhood streets, and better connect residents to local destinations.
In 2027, road work is planned on Ingleton Boulevard between Middlefield Road and Alton Towers Circle. Inspection of the road shows that it needs repaving, and damaged curb and sidewalk need to be replaced to bring them to a state of good repair. This planned roadwork provides an opportunity to make our roads safer for everyone, especially for seniors, school children, pedestrians and people cycling. From 2014 to 2023, there were 105 collisions on Ingleton Boulevard, with seven involving pedestrians or people cycling. No vehicle lanes will be removed through this project.
The project will have two phases.
The proposed changes to Ingleton Boulevard are presented in sections.
Section 1: Middlefield Road to Milliken Park Path
Section 2: Milliken Park Path to Shady Hollow Drive
Section 3: Shady Hollow Drive to Boxdene Avenue
Section 4: Boxdene Avenue to Alton Towers Circle
For all of the sections, the proposed changes aim to reduce motor vehicle speeds, improve crossings and enhance safety for all road users, especially pedestrians and people cycling to schools, libraries and local parks.
To achieve these goals, proposed changes include:
The existing number of vehicle lanes will be maintained.
For Sections 2-4, two options are provided: a neighbourhood greenway option and a dedicated bikeway option. Neighbourhood greenways are routes where people cycling can share the road with people driving by creating an environment with low motor vehicle volumes and speeds. Dedicated bikeways create a separate space for people cycling.
Both options aim to slow motor vehicle speeds, however, the neighbourhood greenway option includes more proposed traffic calming measures including speed humps and chicanes.
Proposed changes on Section 1 include:
Both Option 1 and Option 2 propose speed humps and no parking on Ingleton Boulevard.
Option 1: Neighbourhood Greenway
Option 2: Dedicated Bikeway
Both Option 1 and Option 2 retain parking on the north side of the street in front of Macklin Public School, propose a crossing improvement at Macklin Public School and would include speed humps.
Option 1: Neighbourhood Greenway
Option 2: Dedicated Bikeway
Both Option 1 and Option 2 retain parking on the east side of the street in front of The Divine Infant Catholic School. Both options would include speed humps.
Option 1: Neighbourhood Greenway
Option 2: Dedicated Bikeway
The Alton Towers Neighbourhood Connections project includes making the temporary safety improvement (paint and bollards) at Ingleton Boulevard and Alton Towers Circle permanent through construction.
In 2014, a collision resulted in a pedestrian being seriously injured at this location and a quick-build safety improvement was installed in 2023 to slow vehicle turning speeds and reduce pedestrian crossing distances.
Two design options are proposed to make safety improvements permanent at this intersection.
Detailed information including cross-sections of each option can be found below.
Option 1 improves the existing pedestrian crossover signal by shortening the crossing distance with curb extensions and raising the crossing. In Option 1 motor vehicles on Alton Towers Circ stop only when a pedestrian is crossing. Option 1 keeps the illumination of the crossing from the signals.
Option 2 replaces the pedestrian crossover signal with an all way stop control with crossings on all sides. Curb extensions are added to shorten the crossing distances, and the intersection is raised.
In Option 2, motor vehicles on Alton Towers Circle always stop.
Public opinion, along with technical and policy considerations, will be used to inform staff recommendations and decisions made by City Council.
The Alton Towers Neighbourhood Connections project will have two phases of consultation. Currently, the project is in Phase 1 consultation.
The Public Drop-In Event will provide an opportunity to view the project information panels and speak with members of the project team one-on-one.

In 2027, road work is planned on Ingleton Boulevard between Middlefield Road and Alton Towers Circle. Inspection of the road shows that it needs repaving, and damaged curb and sidewalk need to be replaced to bring them to a state-of-good-repair. The planned roadwork provides an opportunity to review the street for changes with the goal to improve safety for all road users.
This project is part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, which aims to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads safer for everyone, especially for seniors, school children, pedestrians and people cycling. From 2014 to 2023, there were 105 collisions on Ingleton Boulevard, with seven involving pedestrians or people cycling.
In 2024, City Council approved the 2025-2027 Cycling Network Plan Implementation Program which included the Alton Towers Neighbourhood Connections project to grow the network and make travel safer and more connected in the community.
