The City of Toronto Official Plan calls for a significant proportion of future growth along the Avenues.  Among the hundreds of kilometers of eligible streets, Avenue Road between Lawrence Avenue West and Wilson Avenue was selected as an one of three Avenue Studies to be undertaken in 2007.

The intention of this study is to provide a long-term plan for the area that combines a community vision and the City’s intention to update and implement zoning that is defensible and clear for both the local community and respected by the development community.

The Study of Avenue Road, between Lawrence Avenue West and Wilson Avenue has been completed and will be going to Community Council this fall.  On September 24, 2009 please come to hear the ideas for open space and streetscape improvements as well as the recommended framework for new development on the ‘Upper Avenue’.
