Labatt Avenue - Pedestrian Way Designation and Streetscape Improvements

These planned improvements will extend the parkland into the adjacent dead-end portion of Labatt Avenue. Transportation Services is requesting approval to designate the section of Labatt Avenue between a point 17.0 metres east of Defries Street to a point 23.8 metres further east (dead-end) as a Pedestrian Way. Labatt Avenue is currently classified as a local roadway. The proposed designation as a Pedestrian Way would prohibit access to motor vehicle traffic, while continuing to allow access to pedestrians and people cycling, emergency and maintenance vehicles. This change would establish a seamless, pedestrian-oriented connection between the new parkland and the adjacent portion of Labatt Avenue.

Toronto and East York Community Council amend Schedule B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 886, Footpaths, Pedestrian Ways, Bicycle Paths, Bicycle Lanes and Cycle Tracks, by inserting the Drawing in Attachment 2 to the Report (March 16, 2026) from the Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services to show the Pedestrian Way on Labatt Avenue as proposed; 3. Toronto East York Community Council authorize the amendments to traffic and parking regulations on Labatt Avenue as generally described in Attachment 2 to the Report (March 16, 2026) from the Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services. 4. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize and direct the appropriate City officials to take the necessary action to give effect to the recommendations above, including the introduction of any Bills that may be required.
