The City of Toronto has completed the Broadview Avenue Extension Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study for the following planned new streets: Broadview Avenue Extension, between Eastern Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard East; and, the New East-West Street, between Don Roadway and Booth Avenue.

These two streets were previously identified as Schedule C projects in the Port Lands and South of Eastern Transportation & Servicing Master Plan (TSMP), completed in 2017, which satisfied Phases 1 and 2 of the MCEA process.

The Broadview Avenue Extension MCEA Study satisfies Phases 3 and 4 of the MCEA process and was closely co-ordinated with the East Harbour Transit-Oriented Community development, the East Harbour Transit Hub, the Broadview and Eastern Flood Protection project, and several other ongoing studies and initiatives underway in the area.

The Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been posted online for public review on the City’s project website, below.  See the Notice of Completion for further details.

The EA recommends the following preferred designs to continue into further detailed design and construction:

Extension of Broadview Avenue (Eastern Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard East)

  • Generally, a 37.5 metre right-of-way with featuring:
  • One traffic lane in each direction
  • Dedicated streetcar lane in centre of street
  • Raised and separated cycle tracks
  • Wide sidewalks
  • Street trees and some bio-swales
  • Some vehicle lay-bys on both sides

Extension of Broadview Avenue (Eastern Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard East)

  • 24 to 27 metre right-of-way
  • One traffic lane in each direction
  • Raised and separated cycle tracks
  • Wide sidewalks
  • Street trees
  • Some vehicle lay-by spaces

The above recommended preferred designs will improve connectivity; prioritize space for surface transit, pedestrians, and cyclists; allow auto access; create green streets; and provide space for vehicle lay-bys.

The City held an in-person drop-in event and virtual public meeting in June 2022 to gather feedback on the proposed changes. View information below.
