On the agenda
As the city filed it
As part of the annual state-of-good-repair program, sidewalks are often added where they were not previously present as part of a road reconstruction project. Transportation Services has delegated authority to construct sidewalks on local roadways as part of road reconstruction, in accordance with the Missing Sidewalk Installation Policy. In July 2019, Council directed that sidewalk proposals not otherwise delegated to the General Manager, Transportation Services, or those requested by a Member of Council, be subject to decision by City Council.

For the following two local roadway locations programmed for reconstruction, an overwhelming majority of residents living on the street have raised opposition to the installation of a new sidewalk: Coldstream Avenue, between Chicoutimi Avenue and Mona Drive, in Ward 8 Eglinton-Lawrence South Kingslea Drive, between Kingslea Court and Ivy Lea Crescent, in Ward 3 Etobicoke-Lakeshore Residents on these streets have expressed strong opposition to the proposed sidewalk installations, voicing concerns such as impacts on mature trees and neighbourhood character. In light of this feedback from local residents, as well as the fact that these are both low-volume roadways generally used by local traffic, the local Councillors formally request that City Council direct that Transportation Services not proceed with the installation of new sidewalks at these locations.
