Safety Improvements on Davenport Road, Cottingham Road, Poplar Plains Road, and Macpherson Avenue
This report seeks Community Council approval for several traffic operations changes and bylaw amendments to improve safety along Davenport Road, Cottingham Road, Poplar Plains Road, and Macpherson Avenue. The proposed design includes safety improvements to two intersections and one mid-block change as listed below: - Poplar Plains Road between Cottingham Road and Boulton Drive: several proposed amendments to facilitate a new parking lane along the west side of Poplar Plains Road between Cottingham Road and Boulton Drive. - Davenport Road and Glen Edyth Drive and Cottingham Road: installation of a compulsory stop control southbound on Glen Edyth Drive at Cottingham Road to facilitate the realignment of this intersection. - Davenport Road and Poplar Plains Road and Macpherson Avenue: installation of traffic control signals and rescinding the existing westbound compulsory right-turn only limitation to create a normalized four-leg intersection with most movements (left-turn, right-turn and through) permitted. The existing southbound left-turn prohibition would remain due to geometric constraints. Together, the proposed changes would improve safety though clear direction for people driving through intersections and would support new safe connections and crossings for pedestrians and people cycling.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Collier Street, between Church Street and a point 28 metres east of Church Street, is scheduled for reconstruction, in conjunction with the addition of a City Council approved 27-storey condominium building at 717 Church Street, 85-89 Collier Street, and 93-97 Collier Street. Transportation Services is recommending approval to redesignate the section of Collier Street between Church Street and a point 28 metres east of Church Street as a Pedestrian Way. Collier Street is currently designated as a Collector 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 and would provide additional public open space between Church Street and Park Road. Motor vehicle traffic on Collier Street is currently restricted between Church Street and a point 28 metres east of Church Street (the west entry drive at 66 Collier Street), due to construction staging. This Council approved restriction is in effect until January 31, 2027.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Designated the portion of Collier Street between Church Street and a point 28 metres east as a Pedestrian Way as shown in Attachment 1 to the report (January 29, 2026) from the Acting Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services, upon completion of the redevelopment project at 717 Church Street or expiration of the construction staging area, whichever comes first. 2. Amended Schedule B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 886, Footpaths, Pedestrian Ways, Bicycle Paths, Bicycle Lanes and Cycle Tracks, by inserting the Drawing dated December 2025 in Attachment 1 to the report (February 2, 2026) from the Acting Deputy General Manager, Transportation Services to show the Pedestrian Way on Collier Street as proposed. 3. Amended the existing standing prohibition in effect at all times on both sides of Collier Street, between Park Road and Church Street, to be in effect between Park Road and a point 51 metres west only. 4. Amended the existing 30 kilometres per hour speed limit on Collier Street, between Church Street and Park Road, to be in effect between Park Road and a point 51 metres west only. 5. Amended the existing heavy vehicle prohibition in effect at all times on Collier Street between Yonge Street and the east end of Collier Street, to be in effect between Yonge Street and Church and to be in effect between a point 51 metres west of Park Road and the east end of Collier Street only. 6.

Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue West Action Plan
The intersection of Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue West is a transit hub located at the heart of a vibrant community connecting residents to transit, students and their families to nearby schools, and to popular local shops. Every day, this intersection and the surrounding area welcome thousands who contribute to Davenport's local economy and the rich, diverse fabric of our community. However, over the years, service and maintenance at Dufferin and St. Clair have not kept pace with growing use and needs at the intersection. This has affected the overall condition of the area and diminished its appearance. With several major community events planned for 2026 that will bring even more people to the neighbourhood, there is a clear need for a coordinated plan to enhance the intersection and better support residents, businesses, and visitors. At the end of October, I joined local residents in the Dufferin and St. Clair community for a neighbourhood walk to hear directly about the issues at Dufferin and St. Clair and opportunities for improvement. A major concern shared by residents is the impact of inadequate street and sidewalk cleaning, with garbage often accumulating and spreading throughout the area due to limited servicing. City of Toronto staff joining us at this meeting also heard about the need to improve streetlighting, signal timing, and street furniture. In follow-up discussions, my office consulted with City staff, local residents, and resident organizations to develop a targeted action plan to address these concerns and improve service delivery. This Dufferin and St. Clair action plan focuses on important next steps: - Improving street and sidewalk sweeping measures to address cleanliness - Assessing potential streetlight improvements for low-lit areas - Implementing signal timing improvements to enhance traffic flow - Identifying opportunities for additional garbage bin installations - Expanding litter and garbage bin collection within the intersection and nearby areas - Reviewing options to repair and install new street furniture, including benches and transit shelters This action plan and the proposed measures will help to improve services and ensure that everyone living in the area or visiting can enjoy the best of our Dufferin and St. Clair community.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to complete a review of options to improve street cleaning and street sweeping, including through increased cleaning frequency, on Dufferin Street, between Norton Avenue and Rosemount Avenue, and on St. Clair Avenue West, between St. Clair Gardens and Westmount Avenue. 2. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to complete a street furniture assessment at Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue West to identify opportunities to improve or add street furniture, including new garbage cans, benches, bicycle racks, and signage. 3. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services to complete a review of traffic signal timing at Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue West to improve timing coordination and traffic flow. 4.
