A Safer Kingston Road

Attend the public events on October 21 or 27 and complete the survey by November 3. View meeting materials in the Public Consultation tab below.

 

The City of Toronto is proposing changes to approximately six kilometres of Kingston Road, from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road.

A safety review of the project area found that between 2014 and 2024 there were 1,910 collisions resulting in 22 serious injuries and six people killed. The proposed design changes support the City’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan and would make the street a safer, more attractive place to be and to travel for all road users. Road resurfacing is planned between St. Clair Avenue and Markham Road in 2027, which presents an opportunity to combine road safety upgrades with required construction work.

The area for this project has changed since Phase 1. In late 2024 the Ontario Government passed Bill 212, which restricts the removal of motor vehicle lanes for the provision of new bikeways. The City of Toronto is deferring further work on Danforth Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and Kennedy Road, and on Birchmount Road, for further analysis.

This project will now only focus on Kingston Road from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road. The updated proposal for this segment does not require vehicle lane removal to add bikeways.

Kingston Road from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road. Danforth is deferred.

The proposed design for Kingston Road from Cliffside Drive to Scarborough Golf Club Road includes the following features:

  • The number of vehicle travel lanes would remain the same as today – generally three lanes per direction. Vehicles would operate in conditions similar to today, with lane widths narrowed to reduce speeding and align with City guidelines.
  • The addition of physically protected cycle tracks where space permits, and bike lanes in short segments. These lanes would improve conditions for all road users by providing a designated, safer space for people cycling, and creating a buffer space between people on the sidewalk and vehicle traffic.
  • On-street parking would be maintained near local business areas and other local destinations.
  • Addition of selected right-turn on red restrictions to improve pedestrian safety, particularly in areas near schools.
  • Narrowed side street width at some intersections to shorten crosswalk distance and improve pedestrian crossing safety.
  • Speed limits would be reduced from 60 km/h to 50 km/h between Brimley Road South and Scarborough Golf Club Road. Speed limits have already been reduced from Midland Avenue to Brimley Road in 2024.

3 travel lanes in each direction, plus new cycle track.

Public opinion, along with technical and policy considerations, will be used to inform staff recommendations and decisions made by City Council.

Public consultation is taking place in two phases. We are now in Phase 2. See Phase 1 documentation further below.

Phase 1

Phase 1 of the public consultation, which took place in June 2024, invited feedback on existing conditions and design options. The City received input from over 1,800 individuals online and at in-person events.

While we aim to provide fully accessible content, there is no text alternative available for some of the content on this page. If you require alternate formats or need assistance understanding our maps, drawings or any other content, please contact us at 416-338-2830 or email DanforthKingston@toronto.ca.

Following Phase 2 of consultation and consideration of public feedback, City staff will finalize the recommendations for designs and implementation, which is expected to be presented to Infrastructure & Environment Committee for consideration in December 2025.  If approved by City Council, installation would be targeted between Spring 2026 to Fall 2027.
