On the agenda

As the city filed it

The first phase of implementation of the High Park Movement Strategy began in August 2023. Interim and longer-term improvements to the travel network are being advanced to better serve park users and the surrounding community in ways that prioritize safety, accessibility, and the park's natural environment. Changes to visitor vehicle access into the park via Bloor Street West has enabled the removal of the westbound left-turn lane at the Bloor Street West and High Park Avenue intersection.

The road space previously allocated to the left-turn lane queue can be reallocated to accommodate a new, three-car passenger loading zone on the south side of Bloor Street West. The new passenger loading zone could be used by any motor vehicle to facilitate passenger pick-up and drop-off activities and responds directly to community requests for more loading space, and travel options for park users.
