The City of Toronto is studying Avenue Road, between Bloor Street West and St. Clair Avenue West, to find opportunities to improve the street with emphasis on safety, mobility choices, and enhancing streetscape. Streets are places where everyone should feel safe, comfortable and connected.
The Avenue Road Study will look at options for using the space available to best serve all road users. The study will take into consideration the impact of potential changes on the city-wide road network and adjacent local streets.
Throughout the study and in consultation with the community, the City will determine what changes can be implemented in the short to medium term, in advance of full reconstruction of the road.
With full reconstruction of Avenue Road currently forecasted to take place more than ten years from now, implementing short to medium term improvements will allow the City to monitor change and help inform a future study to determine major, permanent design changes.
The study area is Avenue Road from Bloor Street on the south to St. Clair Avenue West on the north.

A range of options will be considered to improve safety, mobility choices and streetscape on Avenue Road. Changes could include:
