The City of Toronto is proposing safety improvements on Millwood Road as part of the planned state-of-good-repair work as part of the City’s commitment to the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. The Plan’s goal is to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by making our roads safer for everyone. Separately, Metrolinx is planning roadway work at the Millwood Road and Overlea Boulevard intersection.
From 2016 to 2020, there were 418 collisions and four (4) people killed or seriously injured on Millwood Road, between Overlea Boulevard and Pape Avenue & Donlands Avenue. All proposed changes are focused on reducing future collisions.
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, and the Millwood Road Safety Improvements project, is to connect gaps in Toronto’s current cycling network by growing existing and future cycling opportunities with safer and more comfortable cycling route options where quality can be improved.
