On the agenda

As the city filed it

In June 2021, Transportation Services was directed to examine traffic infiltration issues in the Brunswick Avenue/Dupont Street area including the possibility of converting Brunswick Avenue between Wells Street and Dupont Street to one-way for motor vehicle traffic. A review was conducted using best available traffic data which because of COVID-19 is approximately 3-5 years old. This illustrated little infiltration present along local roads and no collisions resulting in people killed or seriously injured.

In 2020, Transportation Services installed new contra-flow bike lanes on Brunswick Avenue between Lowther Avenue and College Street as part of the Brunswick-Borden Neighbourhood Cycling Connections project and acknowledged the desirability of continuing the route northward in a future phase. The requested Brunswick Avenue/Dupont Street study elements are aligned with the current approach to neighbourhood cycling connections projects and would serve as an extension to the 2020 Brunswick-Borden project. The most effective mechanism to pursue changes to Brunswick Avenue is to study, consult and implement them as a continuous project, programmed as part of the next Near-Term Cycling Implementation Program (2025-2027). This will allow for a holistic area study including traffic infiltration reduction strategies on Brunswick Avenue and adjacent streets tied directly to the most appropriate implementation mechanism.
