On the agenda

As the city filed it

Queens Quay East between Yonge Street and Parliament Street is classified as a minor arterial with a speed limit of 50 km/h. This rapidly developing waterfront precinct has numerous residential, institutional, commercial, and office uses already opened, in addition to new parks and public spaces. The street is planned to be revitalized through a Waterfront Toronto project. A number of traffic regulation updates and interim traffic control measures are being implemented at this time to bridge the period before the street is rebuilt, to allow safe use for the new community and its many visitors.
