TE24.65 - Stonehouse Crescent - Heavy Truck Prohibition

Decision Type:: ACTION

Status:: Adopted

Schedule Type:: Delegated

Ward:: 9 - Davenport

Community Council Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Prohibited heavy vehicles at all times on Stonehouse Crescent, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue.

Origin

(June 18, 2025) Letter from Councillor Alejandra Bravo

Summary

Heavy trucks along Dufferin Street consistently use Stonehouse Crescent as a cut-through to travel towards Queen Street West. These trucks are very large and are creating challenges in the neighbourhood. Vehicles are often blocked in, and visibility is impacted as a result of the street's width – putting all road users in unsafe situations.

Transportation Services confirmed there are alternative travel routes for these trucks and that a restriction here will not impact traffic flow. Heavy trucks making deliveries to properties on Stonehouse Crescent are exempt from this regulation.
