Transportation Services has led the installation of new sidewalks through the Missing Sidewalk Program since 2002. Transportation Services oversees the consultation and delivery of new sidewalks projects constructed as part of state-of-good repair roadway reconstruction, resurfacing projects and watermain construction being delivered by Engineering and Construction Services, or as standalone projects delivered by Transportation Services.
New sidewalk requests can be sent to newsidewalks@toronto.ca.
Local roads remain the largest gap in the walking network and generate the highest number of requests for new sidewalk installations. Nearly one quarter of all local roads in Toronto, or 800 kilometres, are without a sidewalk. Most local roads have residential land uses, and where sidewalks are missing, pedestrians have no alternative but to walk on the roadway or on unpaved road shoulders. In winter months when roads are icy, pavement width is narrowed by snow, and with daylight hours reduced, the walking conditions are less safe than roadways with sidewalks.
For details about upcoming public consultations and opportunities to provide feedback on new sidewalk installation projects, please see Cycling & Pedestrian Public Consultations.
