The City is planning to extend Woodfield Road, south of Eastern Avenue, to Lake Shore Boulevard East. The road extension also provides an opportunity to improve connectivity, safety and accessibility especially for people walking and cycling.
The City began engaging key stakeholders in fall/winter 2022, followed by the broader public from February 8 to 28, 2022. During the consultation period, members of the public and stakeholders were provided with opportunities to provide feedback on the proposed design options:
Overall, comments identified:
The City hosted a virtual public meeting on February 22, 2022, to introduce the project and show the proposed design options for consideration and comment. The meeting was attended by seven (7) participants.
In September 2017, The Port Lands and South of Eastern Transportation and Servicing Master Plan (TSMP) was completed to support the planned regeneration and renewal of the Port Lands and the continued job growth in the area south of Eastern Avenue over the next 30 to 50 years.
The TSMP identified the need for a new north-south roadway connection to Lake Shore Boulevard East to provide relief to Leslie Street and recommended the extension of Woodfield Road to Lake Shore Boulevard East over other options like Knox Avenue.
