The Laneway Project Returns in 2024

The Laneway Projects organization is asking you to identify some laneways in Ward 13 that needs love!

The Laneway Project Returns in 2024

Since 2014, The Laneway Project group has been dedicated to revitalizations, activations and event programming specifically for laneways. After two years of dormancy, the group is back to activate laneways, and they are starting with Ward 13’s laneway revitalization initiative!

Toronto Centre has lots of laneways that are actively used by community members, cyclists, and motorists. These laneways create a network of mid-block connections, offering important routes alternative to main roads. However, these laneways are not very welcoming.

Currently, Ward 13 laneways need the community to submit ideas on how these spaces can be activated to become vibrant, safe, walkable, beautiful, and most importantly, attractive for pedestrians to use.

If you have ideas for how you would like to activate a laneway near you, please submit your idea here and use the map function to select the laneway of your choice. Please provide as much detail as possible! Idea collection will run until September 30, 2024.

City crews have been actively working since early-April and most seasonal park washrooms and attached water fountains are now open.
