In 2020, the Etobicoke York Community Council directed City staff to work with the Maple Leaf and Rustic communities to develop a comprehensive plan to address community concerns. City staff will use a Neighbourhood Streets Plan process to develop this plan.
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 planning process, a team of City staff 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.
NSPs 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 Guide, Vision Zero Action Plan, and Complete Streets Guidelines. Some examples of actions that may be considered include:
Public consultation on the Neighbourhood Streets Plan will take place in two phases. The participation of local residents and stakeholders is essential to identifying appropriate actions and effective changes for the Maple Leaf and Rustic neighbourhoods.
Public feedback, along with technical and policy considerations will be used to inform City staff recommendations and decisions to be made by City Council.
Consultation will take place over two stages between fall/winter 2023 and spring/summer 2024:
Information, reference materials, and reports on public consultation activities will be posted here.
A public drop-in event was held on December 4, 2023. It included a presentation and question & answer period, as well as opportunity to speak with project staff and view display panels. View the display panels below.
