Don Valley Parkway Maintenance Closure: May 8 to May 11

From 11:00pm on Friday, May 8 until 5:00am on Monday, May 11, the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) will be closed from Hihgway 401 to the Jarvis Street exit on the Gardiner Expressway for maintenance, cleaning and inspection. During the closure, City road crews, engineers and contractors will conduct road resurfacing, crack sealing, replace guardrails, repair lighting and signage, repaint lane markings and more. 

If you’re travelling into the city this weekend, please plan ahead and take public transit if possible. The City is working with map apps to ensure they share up-to-date information about the DVP maintenance closure and alternate routes.

Completing this work during a single closure reduces the need for multiple overnight lane restrictions, which are more disruptive for motorists and less safe and efficient for crews. The City will implement a comprehensive traffic management plan to mitigate traffic congestion on alternate routes during maintenance work, including:

  • Deploying Traffic Agents
  • Adjusting traffic signal timing
  • Advance messaging using electronic messaging boards

You might not know it from the recent rollercoaster of weather, but spring has arrived in Toronto. Hot on its heels, our first Environment Day is happening at Allan Gardens on May 10, the Underpass Park Farmers' Market is opening May 14, and patio season begins right around the Victoria Day weekend. Let’s get out, enjoy our open spaces, support local businesses,  and celebrate the warmer weather!

The pedestrianization of two blocks of Church Street this summer is a major initiative that I have been working on with the Church-Wellesley Business Improvement Area. From June 19 - August 21, Church Street will be pedestrianized between Wellesley Street East and Alexander Street. To date, over 2,200 people have signed a petition in support of this, and I invite you to add your support by  visiting the Toronto Centre Projects website.
