Longfellow Drive reconstruction

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.

Residents will be consulted on four alternatives for the new streetscape, all of which will include required design features (such as a sidewalk on at least one side of the street). Certain design features, such as which side of the street the sidewalk should go on, will be open for feedback in helping to select the new streetscape. The alternatives are currently listed for comment. For more information on the proposed street design philosophy, please see our Complete Streets approach below, and refer to the FAQ section.
