Sentinel Road Safety Improvements

In 2024 and 2025, road reconstruction is planned on Sentinel Road from Lamberton Boulevard to Sheppard Avenue West due to the poor condition of the road. This is an opportunity to implement changes to improve safety for pedestrians and people cycling as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.

Changes on Sentinel Road include raised cycle tracks, integrated bike/bus platforms, widened sidewalks and improved pedestrian crossings.

The City of Toronto is planning changes on Sentinel Road as part of the road reconstruction to fulfill the City’s commitment 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 people walking and cycling. From 2016 to 2020, there were 114 vehicle collisions on Sentinel Road between Lamberton Boulevard and Sheppard Avenue West. All planned changes are focused on reducing future collisions.

Installation of the Sentinel Road Safety Improvements project was authorized by City Council on April 7, 2022 (Item IE28.7).
