Origin
Summary
In consultation with the local community, City staff developed a Neighbourhood Streets Plan for The Peanut neighbourhood. The plan investigated issues related to traffic, road safety, and active transportation. A report titled The Peanut Streets Plan, dated April 29, 2026, that details the recommendations in the plan has been submitted to the North York Community Council.
As part of The Peanut Streets Plan, protected pedestrian crossings are recommended at two locations on Don Mills Road and one location on Van Horne Avenue. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on Van Horne Avenue and Don Mills Road, City Council approval of recommended changes on these streets is required.
