The City of Toronto is proposing a new cycle track on the south side of Trethewey Drive between Jane Street and Clearview Heights, intersection safety improvements along Trethewey Drive, and shared lane markings and connections along Clearview Heights, through Coronation Park and along Municipal Drive to connect to Eglinton Avenue West. There will be no reduction in vehicle lanes or parking.

 

The project includes three segments:

  1. Trethewey Drive, between Jane Street and Clearview Heights (west of Paulson Road)
  2. Clearview Heights, through Coronation Park along the existing multi-use trail and Municipal Drive to connect to Eglinton Avenue West
  3. Clearview Heights from the existing multi-use trail at Coronation Park to Freeman Road (Optional Connection)

Trethewey Drive’s existing lane widths are wider than they should be. When the City undertakes road work, the design must follow current guidelines. Implementing narrower lane widths encourages drivers to respect the speed limit, results in reduced impact speeds and impacts in the event of a collision and provides space to accommodate dedicated separated cycling facilities.

Proposed changes include:

  • New on-street bi-directional cycle track on the south side of the street, separated from vehicle lanes with poured-in place concrete barriers with gaps at driveways
  • Reduced speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h west of Black Creek Drive
  • Intersection safety improvements to support road safety:
    • Jane Street: bikeway crossing, concrete island and traffic signal adjustments such as separate signals for left-turning vehicles and no right-turn on red restrictions for eastbound right, northbound right and southbound right
    • Black Creek Drive: stop control, raised pedestrian crossings and no right-turn on red restrictions for eastbound right
    • Arena Street, Tedder Street, Platinum Drive, Chiswick Avenue, Millenium Drive, Brookhaven Drive, Todd Baylis Boulevard, Greenbrook Drive, Clearview Heights (west of Paulson Road): curb extensions, and curb radii reductions
  • Raised bus platforms for accessible loading
  • New plantings and trees, including replacement of any trees removed

There will be no reduction in vehicle lanes or parking.

People cycling will be guided to Eglinton Avenue West through signage and pavement markings on Clearview Heights, through Coronation Park and Municipal Drive. The vehicle volumes on Clearview Heights and Municipal Drive are low and do not require dedicated space for people cycling. There will be no reduction in vehicle lanes, parking and loading.

Proposed changes include:

  • On-street shared lane pavement markings to indicate a shared environment for bicycles and motor vehicles on Clearview Heights and Municipal Drive
  • Enhanced signage and pavement markings for the existing multi-use trail
  • New curb cut to improve accessibility for people cycling on the road to access the multi-use trail

We heard from some local residents that they want safer cycling facilities on Clearview Heights to connect to the Greenbrook Neighbourhood.

An optional connection is being proposed and could be installed as part of this project or at a later date. Feedback will be considered for each segment.

Proposed changes include:

  • West of Trethewey Drive: Shared lane pavement markings to indicate a shared environment for bicycles and vehicles
  • East of Trethewey Drive: Contra-flow eastbound bicycle lane on the southside of Clearview Heights for people cycling to safely connect to/from the proposed bi-directional cycle track on Trethewey Drive. Contra-flow bicycle lanes allow cyclists to travel in two directions on a street that is one-way for all other vehicles. Clearview Heights east of Trethewey is one-way street westbound for vehicles, this would remain the same

There will be no reduction in vehicle lanes and parking.

    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 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.

    Trethewey Drive is identified in the 2025-2027 Near-Term Implementation Plan as a New and Major upgrade.

    The City of Toronto is proposing changes on Trethewey Drive as part of planned road resurfacing in support 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, especially for seniors, school children, and pedestrians and people cycling. In the past 10 years, there have been 1,330 vehicle collisions on Trethewey Drive, 11 of which resulted in serious injuries. Proposed changes are focused on reducing future collisions.

    The City has several guiding policy documents and objectives that inform road safety projects:
