Item - 2025.IE24.14

The Infrastructure and Environment Committee:

1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to report to the October 29, 2025 meeting of Infrastructure and Environment Committee with a status update on the progress to date to conduct this study as per the Council approved motion 2025.MM26.12.

On February 5, 2025, City Council approved 2025.MM26.12 - “Study of Redesign Options to Address the High Level of Congestion and Neighbourhood Traffic at the Intersection of Eglinton Avenue West and the Allen Expressway”.

Both the City’s Transportation Services Division and the long-suffering residents nearby Eglinton Avenue West and the Allen Expressway have clearly identified this intersection as a significant bottleneck and the primary cause of unbearable traffic congestion and neighbourhood traffic infiltration that has caused dangerous conditions for pedestrians and cyclists on local roads and a decline in the quality of everyday life for residents.

As the City continues its extensive public consultations to create a neighbourhood traffic infiltration mitigation strategy, a Council commitment was also made to study options to remediate the inadequate current operation of the newly redesigned intersection.

This motion requests a status update at the next meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on October 29 on the progress of work undertaken to identify options to remediate the intersection of Eglinton Avenue West and the Allen Expressway.
