Knox Avenue Bikeway Connection

The City of Toronto has reconstructed the road and replaced the City-owned portion of substandard water services on Knox Avenue between Eastern Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard East. This roadwork provided an opportunity to improve safety for all road users and create a connection between the existing multi-use trail on Lake Shore Boulevard East and the existing Knox Avenue contra-flow bike lane north of Eastern Avenue.

The following improvements were completed:

  • The road was reconstructed on the west side of Knox Avenue to build new separated two-way cycle tracks connecting Eastern Avenue with the Lake Shore Boulevard multi-use trail.
  • The sidewalk was widened on the west side of Knox Avenue, south of Eastern Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard East.
  • The traffic signal was modified at the intersection of Knox Avenue and Eastern Avenue.

As part of the City’s Council-approved Cycling Network Plan, this project connects gaps in the existing cycling network, better connecting people to places.

The construction area, illustrated below is Knox Avenue from Easter Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard East.
