Deauville Intersection Improvements

The City of Toronto recently completed reconstruction work at the intersection of Deauville Lane and Grenoble Drive as part of planned intersection safety improvements in the Flemingdon Park Area.

Starting in October 2026, the City is planning to reconstruct the intersection at Deauville Lane and St. Dennis Drive. As part of the upcoming work, the City will be making changes to the design of the intersection to increase safety and accessibility. There are no changes to the design of the intersection to increase safety and accessibility. There are no changes to the number of vehicle lanes. Intersection safety changes include:

  • Widening sidewalks and increasing green space with trees, plantings and places to sit
  • Reducing crossing distances for pedestrians
  • Removing the right-turn channel on the corner in front of the Dennis R. Timbrell Resource Centre to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians
  • Upgrading and extending the existing painted bike lanes to raised cycle tracks into the intersection
  • Adding pedestrian and bike head start, and No Right Turn on Red signage to improve safety for vulnerable road users

The work is part of the Council-approved 2026 Capital Works Program to renew aging city roads and sidewalks for current and future needs. The most cost-effective time to make safety improvements is when we are already renewing aging needs.

Vision Zero improvements have been designed for two intersections in Flemingdon Park, along Deauville Lane at St. Dennis Drive and Grenoble Drive. The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan calls for engineering improvements where they are most needed to protect vulnerable users of our transportation system – people walking, children, seniors and people cycling.

 

September 2026

August 2025

June 2025

Starting early June the City’s contractor will be moving forward with planned road reconstruction at the intersection of Deauville Lane and Grenoble Drive.

December 2024: Construction Update

In August 2024, the City of Toronto notified residents of planned road reconstruction at the intersection of Deauville Lane and Grenoble Drive, including making changes to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity for all road users.

Due to delays encountered with the electrical design, this work will be deferred until spring 2025.

An update notice will be provided before work is to take place again.

    Deauville Lane and Grenoble Drive Intersection

    At the Deauville Lane and Grenoble Drive intersection, the following changes will be implemented as part of the 2024 construction:

    • Shorten pedestrian crossings
    • Make people walking and cycling more visible
    • Maintain bus stops and driveways
    • Replace right-turn channel with a standard T-intersection to slow turning vehicles
    • Widen sidewalks and increase green space
    • Refresh pavement markings, including for turn lanes and bicycle lanes

    Deauville Lane and St. Dennis Drive

    At the Deauville Lane and St. Dennis Drive intersection, the following changes will be implemented as part of the 2025 construction:

    • Shorten pedestrian crossing of vehicle lanes and adding a safety island
    • Create waiting areas to make people walking and cycling more visible
    • Keep existing lanes and add dedicated right-turn lane
    • Maintain bus stops and driveways
    • Replace right-turn channel with safety islands at corners to slow turning vehicles, widen sidewalks and increase green space
    • Separate people cycling from motor vehicles and pedestrians with cycle tracks and safety islands.

People walking and cycling will have shorter distances to cross the street.

    Public Consultation

    A Public Drop-In Event was held on June 12, 2019, and included an opportunity to speak with project staff and view display boards.

     

    This project will address recent City Council decisions including:

    • 2018: City Council, as part of its Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, authorized the development of 10 intersection improvements across the city that can model the Complete Streets approach (EX35.26).
    • 2016: The City of Toronto released the Complete Streets Guidelines. They state that streets should safely accommodate all users, pedestrians, people cycling, transit services and motor vehicles, while also enhance local neighbourhood character.
    • 2013: The St. Dennis Drive and Deauville Lane intersection was identified as one of the top three most dangerous in Toronto (PW23.12).
