Summary

City Council approved the Lawrence Allen Secondary Plan which shows the Allen Greenway from Highway 401 to Lawrence Avenue West with extensions to Eglinton Avenue West. Lawrence Heights is a community in need of active physical fitness opportunities and connectivity to other neighbourhoods and community facilities. There are numerous development applications within 500 metres of the Allen Road. The area in the vicinity of the Allen Road is a very parkland deficient area. City Council has approved a Vision Zero program.

The goal is to achieve a continuous path from Highway 401 to Eglinton Avenue West along the Allen Road.
