Pedestrian and Cycling Safety, Congestion Management, and Traffic Safety Improvements related to the proposed Ontario Place (955 Lakeshore Boulevard West) Redevelopment

This report provides an update on the proposed safety and congestion management improvements in the Ontario Place area, including: - proposed safety improvements for pedestrians, people cycling, and people driving at three (3) key intersections on Lake Shore Boulevard West, fronting the Ontario Place redevelopment; - a description of the ongoing work to address congestion management and improve traffic safety on Lakeshore Boulevard West, in the vicinity of the Ontario Place redevelopment; and - potential options to improve north/south pedestrian access between the Ontario Place redevelopment and Exhibition Place, nearby transit stops, and other off-site improvements to be considered in coordination with further design and implementation work. Designs related to the Ontario Place redevelopment are in progress, including designs for work that will be undertaken by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports, and work that will be undertaken by the site's tenants. Given that this design work is ongoing and given the need for coordination of designs for the development site and the public right-of-way, it is proposed that staff report back with an update in Q1 of 2027.
