Pedestrian Safety Update - 2022 to 2026

Safety is my number one priority in Toronto Centre. A key focus of my term has been improving pedestrian safety through the installation of new traffic control signals and local pedestrian projects. With so much work, I thought it would be helpful to provide information on what has been completed to date, and what work is expected in 2026 and beyond.

Since 2022, many traffic improvements have been requested and completed to date:

Traffic Control Signal & Pedestrian Crossover - Adelaide Street East and Ontario Street (2025)
Traffic Control Signal - Yonge Street and Maitland Street/Breadalbane Street
Traffic Control Signal - Carlton Street and Homewood Avenue (2024)

Traffic Control Signal - Front Street and Scott Street (2025)

Many more sites are planned to complete in 2026:

Pedestrian Crosswalk - Jarvis and Sirman Lane
Traffic Control Signal - Yonge Street and Isabella Street
Traffic Control Signal - Power Street and Richmond Streets

Beyond new traffic signals, there are a number of pedestrian projects in the queue:

Pedestrianization of Church Street
Gerrard East Complete Street
Yonge TOmorrow Reconstruction

Due to the nature of construction in Downtown Toronto, timelines are subject to change. If you have a traffic signal request or a traffic regulation review request, I strongly recommend submitting it through our Traffic Regulation Review page; my staff will promptly address your request.
