The purpose of this report is to share the findings from phase one of the Leaside Neighbourhood Transportation Plan (LNTP), a study led by Transportation Services at the request of North York Community Council. The study encompassed an assessment of existing conditions in the study area, analyses to determine appropriate changes to the streets, and a multi-staged engagement process with area residents and stakeholders. Phase one, the near-term plan, was focused on assessing site-specific improvements that mitigate traffic and safety concerns in the study area and involving the community in the decision-making process. Phase two, the long-term plan, is expected to take place after local travel patterns have adapted to Line 5 Eglinton and the bikeway on Eglinton Avenue East between Bayview Avenue and the Don River.

This report summarizes the study findings and recommends traffic and safety management changes that can be implemented in the neighbourhood in the near-term. Recommended changes include that installation of traffic calming measures, intersection realignment of intersections, amendments to on-street parking, new traffic control signals, and new bike share stations. Changes are targeted to be implemented within the next three years.
