A Safer Kingston Road

Phase 2 information materials and public consultation details will be published in October 2025. Sign-up to receive email updates.

The City of Toronto is proposing changes to approximately six kilometres of Kingston Road, from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road. These changes would make the street a safer, more attractive place to be and to travel.

The area for this project has changed since Phase 1. In late 2024 the Ontario Government passed Bill 212, which restricts the removal of motor vehicle lanes for the provision of new bikeways. The City of Toronto is deferring further work on Danforth Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and Kennedy Road, and on Birchmount Road, for further analysis.

This project will now only focus on Kingston Road from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road. The updated proposal for this segment does not require motor vehicle lane removal to add bikeways.

The new proposed road design includes the following features:

  • The number of vehicle travel lanes would remain the same as today, in most cases this is three lanes per direction.
  • The addition of physically protected cycle tracks where space permits, and buffered bike lanes in some areas.
  • Motor vehicles would operate in conditions similar to today, with lane widths narrowed to align with City Guidelines.
  • Parking on Kingston Road has been maintained near local business areas and other key areas along the corridor. The total number of parking spots provided has been significantly increased since Phase One consultations. 
  • Traffic signal timing would be updated to improve vehicle flow and turning safety.
  • Improved crossings at intersections to increase safety for pedestrians.

Further details will be published for public consultation in October 2025. Sign-up to receive email updates.

The Public Consultation will take place in two phases.

Phase 1, which took place in June 2024, invited feedback on existing conditions and design options. The City received input from over 1,800 individuals online and at in-person events.

Phase 2 of public consultation will be in October 2025. Sign-up to receive email updates.

Next Steps

Following Phase 2 of consultation and consideration of public feedback, City staff will finalize the recommendations for designs and implementation, which is expected be presented to City Council for consideration in December 2025. If approved installation would be targeted for Spring 2027 to Fall 2027.
