Oakwood Village Streets Plan

Installation of painted sharrows, contra-flow bikeway and moving on-street parking to be fixed to one side is expected to take place from the week of July 27, 2026, to the week of August 10, 2026, on several streets in Oakwood Village. Details on what to expect during installation are available in the notice.

In June 2026, City Council approved the Oakwood Village Streets Plan – Non-Delegated Road Safety Improvements with amendments including the east-west connection, new signals on Oakwood Avenue and Vaughan Road, and other infrastructure improvements (TE33.53). For more information, refer to the Vaughan Road Safety Improvements project.

In May 2026, Toronto and East York Council adopted the Oakwood Village Streets Plan with amendments (TE33.52).

The project area is located between Dufferin Street to the west, St. Clair Avenue West to the south, Eglinton Avenue West to the north, and to the east from Arlington Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West to Vaughan Road to Winnett Avenue at Eglinton Avenue.

The Oakwood Village neighbourhood was nominated for a Neigbourhood Streets Plan in 2023 by the Ward 9 City Councillor on behalf of concerned residents. Issues identified in the nomination were:

• Pedestrian safety and desire for improved pedestrian crossings
• Frequent collisions or near-misses including several recent serious collisions
• Excessive speeding & non-local traffic
• Vulnerable road user safety concerns in school zones.

What is a Neighbourhood Streets Plan?

Neighbourhood Streets Plans (NSPs) serve 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.

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

• Step 1: Public consultation on local issues & ideas
• 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 *we are here*
• Step 6: Monitor, evaluate, and update community on future changes

All previous consultation materials are available under the Public Consultation tab.

The City of Toronto invited local residents, businesses and organizations to learn more and provide feedback. Consultation took place in two phases conducted between spring 2024 and fall 2025:

• Phase 1: The City invited residents and interest groups to identify issues and suggestions for changes to respond to transportation safety and mobility concerns.
• Phase 2: The City asked for feedback from the community on proposed actions and changes to respond to identified in Phase 1

Information, reference materials and reports on public consultation activities are posted below.

Toronto and East York Council adopted the Oakwood Village Streets Plan with amendments (TE33.52), and City Council adopted the components of the Streets Plan that required City Council approval (TE33.53). Following that decision, staff will proceed with implementing these changes:

• Speed humps on 14 streets including Keywest Avenue and Winona Drive (locations shown on map and in Table 2 of the Streets Plan report)
• Speed limit reduction to 30km/h on Glenholme Avenue and Northcliffe Boulevard
• In-road flexible speeds signs on Rogers Road and Vaughan Road
• A new turning restriction at Oakwood Avenue and Earnscliffe Road
• A new traffic signal at Oakwood Avenue and Holland Park Avenue in coordination with the East-West Cycling Connections
• Crosswalk markings along Oakwood Avenue, Rogers Road, Vaughan Road and near schools and City-operated community facilities
• Pedestrian signal to replace the existing pedestrian crossover at Oakwood Avenue and Clovelly Avenue
• Intersection and mid-block safety improvements at various locations (shown on map and in Table 3 of the Streets Plan report)

Most changes will proceed over the short-term (6 months to 2 years). Pedestrian signal replacement and intersection safety improvements will proceed over the medium-term (2 to 5 years). Other changes to be considered in the long-term (5+ years), is subject to programming, feasibility study, public consultation, detailed design, and/or Council approval. For more information, refer to the Implementation and Monitoring section of the Streets Plan report.

This map shows approved changes that will be implemented in the short to medium term. The map also shows additional changes proposed by the Streets Plan that require further coordination, study, consultation or City Council approval to be implemented through related projects.

Installation of some sections of the east-west cycling connections on neighbourhood streets are expected to take place from the week of July 27, 2026, to the week of August 10, 2026. Details on what to expect during installation are available in the notice.

The Streets Plan proposed to install:

• A new traffic signal at Oakwood Avenue and Holland Park Avenue. The new signal would provide a protected crossing for pedestrians and people cycling across Oakwood Avenue
• Cycling connections on the following streets:
  • Contra-flow bike lane on Earlsdale Avenue between Winona Drive and Oakwood Avenue
  • Short section of northbound cycle tracks on Oakwood Avenue between Earlsdale Avenue and Holland Park Avenue
  • Holland Park Avenue, east of Oakwood Avenue:
    • Short section of contra-flow bike lanes between Oakwood Avenue to 30m east of Green P
    • Conversion to one-way eastbound for motor vehicles from Oakwood Avenue to 30m east to Green P lot to reduce conflicts at Oakwood Avenue and mitigate non-local traffic
    • Eastbound shared lane between Robina Avenue and Winona Drive
  • Contra-flow bike lanes on Holland Park Avenue between Oakwood Avenue and Glenholme Avenue

The new traffic signal at Holland Park Avenue would have an impact to on-street parking and would require the removal of 11 spaces.

See map on page 36 of the information panels, and proposed cross-sections on pages 38 to 41.

Refer to the cycling roll plan for details.

More details about the need for East-West Connections and New Signal are shown on pages 35 to 41 of the information panels.
