City Council direct the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Transportation Services, to proceed with the new sidewalk construction project on the north side of Taber Road between Kipling Avenue and 140 metres west of Kipling Avenue as part of contract 26ECS-RD-04LR.
On the agenda
As the city filed it
In March 2024 City Council adopted Item 2024.IE12.4 , which included details on Transportation Services' plans to install delegated sidewalks in the near term (2024-2026), including a new sidewalk on the north side of Taber Road. Taber Road is classified as a Collector roadway between Racine Road and Kipling Avenue and currently has a sidewalk on the south side. The City's Missing Sidewalk Installation Policy calls for sidewalks to be installed where they are missing on both sides of Arterial and Collector roadways during road reconstruction or as a standalone capital project based on identified needs and budget availability.

A new sidewalk on the north side of Taber Road between Brydon Drive and Kipling Avenue is scheduled to be tendered this spring and installed in 2026. Adjacent properties on the north side of Taber Road between Brydon Drive and Kipling Avenue were recently notified of the planned sidewalk and some businesses have shared concerns related to the potential loss of parking. Currently, these properties use space within the City-owned right-of-way for private parking. This motion proposes to amend the west limit of the new sidewalk construction to terminate at the Rexdale Community Health Centre on Taber Road. This revised limit would allow sidewalk construction to proceed while providing an accessible and safe pedestrian connection where there is the greatest need.
Staff recommended
Councillor Vincent Crisanti, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the General Manager, Transportation Services, to proceed with the new sidewalk construction project on the north side of Taber Road between Kipling Avenue and 140 metres west of Kipling Avenue as part of contract 26ECS-RD-04LR.
