Improving Traffic Flow on College Street, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue

Currently, parking is permitted at all times along this section. At the same time, the westbound 506 streetcar stops traffic during pick-up and drop-off on College Street, just east of Dufferin Street. Resulting in parked vehicles blocking westbound motorists in the curb lane, especially those turning right northbound onto Dufferin Street. Together, this conflict increases congestion and traffic delays in the area as westbound motorists can be backed up to Havelock Street and Rusholme Road. Transportation Services reviewed the conditions and supports the proposed amendments that would establish a no-stopping prohibition on the north side of College Street, east of Dufferin Street. Nearby on-street and off-street parking options remain available for residents and visitors to the area. These improvements will help reduce congestion and support more efficient transit and traffic operations in this active corridor.
