Horner Avenue Road Safety Improvements

Project Area

Public consultation and installation for the Horner Avenue Road Safety Improvements will take place over two phases described below. The project is currently in Phase 1.

• Phase 1 (2026): Horner Avenue between Westhead Road and Brown’s Line, and Foch Avenue between Horner Avenue and Edgeware Drive
• Phase 2 (2027+): Horner Avenue and Judson Street, from Brown’s Line to Royal York Road.
• Installation for both phases: 2028+

Public consultation for Phase 2 is anticipated as early as 2027, at which time further details about proposed design changes, reporting and implementation schedule will be available.

Phase 1A Proposed Changes: Horner Avenue from Westhead Road to Brown’s Line

• Install painted bike lanes and wayfinding signage on both sides of the street
• Narrow travel lanes to meet the City’s standard lane widths
• Reduce speed limit to 30 km/h
• Install speed humps
• Prohibit parking on both sides of the street at all times (observed parking demand is low)*
• No change to the number of motor vehicle lanes
• No change to City maintenance and operations
• Maintain driveway access to properties
• Maintain left turn lane at Brown’s Line

*Observed parking demand could be accommodated in existing parking lots and side streets.

Phase 1B Proposed Changes: Foch Avenue from Horner Avenue to Edgeware Drive

• Install shared lane markings (sharrows) and wayfinding signage on both sides of the street
• Install speed humps
• No change to parking
• No change to the number of motor vehicle lanes
• No change to City maintenance and operations

There would be no bike lanes, change to motor vehicle lanes or change to the existing parking rules. A potential Bike Share Station and bicycle lockers at Edgeware Drive by GO Station are under review.

Background

The City Council-approved Cycling Network Plan is a comprehensive roadmap and work plan that outlines the City’s planned investment in our cycling network. It includes a Long-Term Cycling Network Vision, the planned Major City-Wide Cycling Network Routes, and a three-year rolling Near-Term Implementation Program. 

The aim of the Cycling Network Plan is to connect gaps in Toronto’s current cycling network, grow the network into new parts of the city, and upgrade existing cycling routes to improve safety and comfort for all road users.

Horner Avenue is identified as a proposed cycling route in the Plan for study and design in the near-term.
