Construction is complete
Longfellow Drive (Westmount Road to Shakespeare Place) is scheduled for reconstruction in 2021. As part of this reconstruction, the street will be dug up, underground infrastructure replaced and the street rebuilt. The new design for the street will take into consideration the next 50 years of use, and follow the applicable regulations (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), Ministry of the Environment, etc.), city policies, the Transportation Master Plan and other guiding documents. For more information on the proposed street design philosophy, please refer to our Complete Streets approach in the News feed, and refer to the FAQ section (see right sidebar).
The new design for the street has now been finalized, taking into account the previous Update following Council direction, as well as several other factors as discussed in the Public Information Session #2 presentation (see below).
