Origin
Summary
Since the opening of the newly designed Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road expressway intersection in 2023, traffic capacity issues at the intersection have caused traffic congestion along Eglinton Avenue West. With many neighbourhood streets being used as short-cuts to Allen Road, traffic congestion is also significantly impacting neighbourhood streets.
On February 5, 2025, City Council directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to initiate a study to examine redesign options to improve the operation of the Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road intersection, and to report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee in the first quarter of 2026 with a progress update and recommended workplan.
This report includes:
- An update on the status and work plan of the Eglinton and Allen Intersection Study as per Council request; and
- A summary of the recent monitoring results following the traffic pattern changes implemented in December 2025 to reduce infiltration on local streets in the neighbourhood.
