Summary

Provision of safe, comfortable and accessible sidewalks on all public streets is a fundamental objective of the Vision Zero 2.0 Road Safety Plan. Through the Missing Links Sidewalk Installation Program, Transportation Services reviews opportunities to install sidewalks on all roadway classifications through bundling with other state-of-good-repair roadway or utility work, as well as stand-alone delivery.

 

In July 2019, Council requested that sidewalk proposals not otherwise delegated to the

- Hotspur Road from Neptune Drive to existing sidewalk (east side, Ward 8);

 

- Lauderdale Drive from Rollscourt Drive to Heathcote Avenue (southwest side, Ward 15);

 

- Orman Avenue from Symes Road to Hilldale Road (north side, Ward 5);
