North Newtonbrook West Streets Plan

Attend the public drop-in event on June 10 and leave comments on the interactive map by June 30. View meeting materials in the Public Consultation tab below.

In consultation with the local community, the City of Toronto is developing a Neighbourhood Streets Plan for the northern portion of the Newtonbrook West neighbourhood that will address five main areas of concern:

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

The North Newtonbrook West Streets Plan project area is located between Bathurst Street, Steeles Avenue West, Yonge Street and Drewry Avenue.

Map of a residential neighbourhood bounded by Steeles Avenue West (north), Bathurst Street (west), Yonge Street (east), and Drewry Avenue (south). The map shows a grid of local streets including Moore Park Avenue, Patricia Avenue, Peckham Avenue, and Goulding Avenue. Several green spaces are highlighted, including a long park along King David Drive, a park near Donnalyn Drive, and another near Laverne Road. Surrounding areas are shown in greyed-out shading.

The North Newtonbrook West neighbourhood was nominated for a Neighbourhood Streets Plan (NSP) by the local Councillor’s Office.

Each year, dozens of nominations are received, and several neighbourhoods are selected to participate in the program. More information on the nomination and selection process can be found at toronto.ca/NSP.

What is a Neighbourhood Streets Plan?

NSPs are a 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 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 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

NSPs 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 NSP are different based on local conditions and the needs of each neighbourhood. Generally, NSPs 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.

The City is inviting local residents, businesses and organizations to learn more and provide feedback. Consultation will take place over two stages between spring 2026 and spring 2027:

  • 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.
