Provide input for Malvern West Streets Plan using the interactive map before Tuesday, April 30.
In consultation with the local community, the City is developing a Neighbourhood Streets Plan for the Malvern West area that identifies, prioritizes and recommends short-term actions and long-term changes to traffic operations and road design to support safety for all modes of transportation.
The Malvern West Streets Plan aims to address four main areas of concern in the project area:
The Malvern West Streets Plan (MWSP) project area is located between Markham Road to the west, Finch Avenue East to the north, Neilson Road to the east, and Sheppard Avenue to the south.
The Malvern West neighbourhood was nominated for an NSP by the Ward 23 City Councillor in 2023. Issues identified in the nomination process can be found on the program web page. Issues identified in the nomination were:
Neighbourhood Streets Plans (NSPs) are a new service for neighbourhoods where traffic and travel patterns challenge the safety and mobility of people using the streets. Through the NSP process, a team of City staff will work with communities to identify local issues and opportunities, prioritize the greatest needs, and recommend changes to traffic operations and street designs.
NSPs consider the needs of all road users and emphasize the safety of vulnerable road users such as seniors, school children, and people walking and cycling.
Public consultation for the Malvern West Streets Plan project will take place in two phases. Dates are subject to change.
NSPs will result in short-term actions (one to two years) which can be made using temporary, flexible materials like signs, paint, and bollards, and will identify longer term changes which can be accomplished alongside future programmed road work.
The outcomes of each NSP will be different based on local conditions and the needs of each neighbourhood. Generally, NSPs will recommend actions related to motor vehicle speed and volume management, and traffic safety conflicts on local streets. NSP recommendations are informed by the City’s Traffic Calming Policy, Vision Zero Action Plan, and Complete Streets Guidelines.
The City of Toronto is inviting local residents, businesses and organizations to learn more and provide feedback on the Malvern West Streets Plan project. Public and community interest groups’ opinions, along with technical and policy considerations will be used to inform City staff recommendations and decisions to be made by City Council.
Public consultation will take place over two stages between 2024 and 2025:
Information, reference materials, and reports on public consultation activities will be posted on this web page.
