The Davisville Avenue Complete Street project is an opportunity to reimagine Davisville Avenue from Yonge Street to Mount Pleasant Road as a Complete Street.
The Complete Street approach considers the needs and safety of all road users including pedestrians, people cycling, driving and taking transit. Complete Streets improve safety and accessibility for people of all ages and abilities, expand transportation options, introduce greenery and beautification, and balance on-street parking and loading needs.
The project area is Davisville Avenue from Yonge Street to Mount Pleasant Road. Installation is expected to take place in 2025 with some work in 2026.
The project is seeking input in the early stages to hear ideas, issues, and priorities from the community about a Complete Street on Davisville Avenue.
The goal of Phase 1 Consultation is to collect feedback from the community on existing issues and ideas for shaping the future of a Complete Street on Davisville Avenue. For example, feedback can be about existing safety and accessibility concerns, streetscaping and greening opportunities, and loading needs.
All residents and road users are invited to use our interactive mapping tool to share ideas for this project and what improvements should be considered.

The City of Toronto is proposing changes as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. The Plan’s goal is to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads safer for everyone, especially for seniors, school children, pedestrians and people cycling. This project is coordinated with ongoing studies for crossing and safety improvements along Davisville Avenue.
The City Council-approved 2025-2027 Cycling Network Plan Near-Term Implementation Program identifies Davisville Avenue from Yonge Street to Mount Pleasant Road for cycling improvements to connect people to destinations and existing cycling routes. The Cycling Network Plan is a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the City’s planned investment in the cycling network. It aims to connect gaps in the current cycling network and create safer and more comfortable cycling options.
Midtown in Focus (Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan Study) was an inter-divisional study led by City Planning. The Ready, Set, Midtown: Public Realm Implementation Strategy identifies a long-term vision for Davisville Avenue as a generous pedestrian promenade with cycling lanes and large planting areas with wide-canopied trees and ample space for street furniture and other landscape elements.
