This staff report is about a matter that Toronto and East York Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report is a companion to a report entitled 'Oakwood Village Streets Plan', which documents the findings of the Oakwood Village Streets Plan study and recommended changes, for which authority has been delegated to Toronto and East York Community Council. The Streets Plan assessed existing conditions, engaged with the public and community organizations, and proposed appropriate changes to neighbourhood streets.

City Council approval is required for the following changes on Oakwood Avenue, a street where Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit route: installation of a pedestrian signal, a minor change to existing on-street parking, and turn restrictions at the intersection of Earnscliffe Road to improve safety and visibility.

Other proposed changes, identified by the Streets Plan and coordinated with related projects such as the Vaughan Road Safety Improvement project and East-West Connections, are subject to future City Council approval, as they involve road safety changes along streets with TTC service and also include cycling infrastructure. These proposed changes are summarized in this report.

The estimated cost of removing the existing pedestrian crossover at Oakwood Avenue and Clovelly Avenue and installing a traffic control signal (intersection pedestrian signal) is $250,000 including all civil work and signage changes. Funding is available for this capital project categorized as Health and Safety, in the approved 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.

The estimated cost associated with signage for parking and turning restrictions is approximately $1,500. Funding for signage costs associated with the proposed amendments is available within the Transportation Services 2026 Operating Budget.
