Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge Update

Work on the Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge and Tunnel Replacement continues as the City works towards finishing this project this summer.

Trees are being cleared to ensure safety and maintenance of the area, which will temporarily disrupt on-street parking on Glen Road. Residents with a parking permit for Glen Road north of Howard Street will get a temporary one so they can park on Howard Street in zone 7H until they can return.

Residents have also asked my office about what will happen to the Glen Road Community Garden plaque. The plaque commemorates the local communities, non-profit organizations, and multicultural youth who came together to make the original garden here a reality. After reviewing its historical significance, which also includes public ecology education, I made a request to staff to preserve this original plaque.

Because of the construction, the project team had to remove the plaque, but they are seeking a suitable location for its reinstallation. A separate second plaque is currently being designed by Heritage Toronto for installation in the redesigned public space.

If you have questions about the tree removals or other work on Glen Road or the pedestrian bridge, please contact the Field Ambassador at 416-495-4254 or email them at: [email protected]
