In consultation with the local community, the City is developing a Neighbourhood Streets Plan for the Mount Olive neighbourhood. The Streets Plan will recommend changes to traffic operations and road design to support safety and mobility for everyone using the streets.

The Mount Olive Streets Plan will investigate five main areas of improvement:

  1. Road safety for vulnerable road users (e.g. pedestrians, children, older adults and people cycling)
  2. Motor vehicle speeding
  3. Through traffic on local streets
  4. Supporting transportation options (e.g. transit, walking and cycling)
  5. Curbside activity (e.g. parking, bus stops, loading zones)

The Mount Olive Streets Plan project area is located between Steeles Avenue West, Kipling Avenue, Albion Road and the Etobicoke Hydro Corridor. The City invites residents to learn more about the project and participate in identifying issues, opportunities, and ideas for the neighbourhood.

The Mount Olive neighbourhood was nominated for the Neighbourhood Streets Plan program by the City Councillor’s Office (Ward 1 – Etobicoke North) and residents. Issues identified in the nomination were:

  • Excessive speeding & aggressive driving
  • Frequent crashes or near-misses
  • Motor vehicle non-compliance
  • School zone safety concerns
  • Limited enforcement of road regulation and impact on driver behaviour

What is a Neighbourhood Streets Plan?

Neighbourhood Streets Plans (NSPs) service 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 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.

Each year dozens of nominations are received and five neighbourhoods are prioritized to participate in the program.

Street Plans follow several steps outlined below, and public consultation takes place in two stages.

  • Step 1: Public consultation on local issues & ideas *we are here*
  • Step 2: Develop actions & changes to address issues
  • Step 3: Public consultation on proposed actions & changes
  • Step 4: Finalize plan for approval by Community Council
  • Step 5: Implement short-term actions
  • Step 6: Monitor, evaluate, and update community on future changes

Street Plans result in short-term actions which can be made using temporary, flexible materials like signs, asphalt, paint, and bollards, and identify longer term changes which can be accomplished alongside future programmed road work.

The outcomes of each Streets Plans are different based on local conditions and the needs of each neighbourhood. Generally, Street Plans recommend actions related to motor vehicle speed and volume management, and traffic safety conflicts on local streets. Street Plan recommendations are informed by the City’s Traffic Calming Guide, 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. Consultation will take place in two phases.

  • Phase 1: will consult the community on issues commonly experienced in the neighbourhood and ideas for actions and changes
  • Phase 2: will consult the community on proposed short-term actions (1 to 2 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

Information, reference materials, and reports on public consultation activities will be posted here. Public and interest group opinions, along with technical and policy considerations, are used to inform City staff recommendations and decisions to be made by City Council.
