Item - 2026.IE29.5

The Infrastructure and Environment Committee recommends that:

1. City Council approve the amendments to the City of Toronto Road Classification System set out in Attachment 2, Road Classification Update - Table of Changes, to the report (April 22, 2026) from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

The Road Classification System was originally adopted by City Council in 2000 following municipal amalgamation and has since been updated periodically to reflect newly constructed streets, evolving transportation patterns, and subsequent Council direction. Accurate road classification is important for the governance of the street network, supporting transportation planning, infrastructure design, operational service delivery, and capital investment decisions.

This report provides an update for additional roads that have been assumed by the City since the most recent update in 2018, and for roads where reclassification is required based on current conditions and network role.

This report seeks City Council approval to amend the road classification of seven (7) roadways across four (4) Wards (Wards 3, 7, 10 and 21) identified in Attachment 2, based on an assessment against Council‑approved Road Classification Criteria. The proposed changes will support safe and efficient network operations for all road users and improve consistency between roadway function and service delivery.
