DESTINATION DANFORTH Community Meeting with Councillor Brad Bradford – June 22nd, 7 – 9 p.m.


Do you want to know more about the DESTINATION DANFORTH project?


On Monday, June 22nd, Councillor Brad Bradford and the Danforth East Community Association (“DECA”) will host a community meeting to discuss the DESTINATION DANFORTH project. The event will take place virtually from 7 to 9 p.m. and interested individuals can sign up here – registration is required to attend.


What is the DESTINATION DANFORTH Project?


The DESTINATION DANFORTH project is a proposed investment of approximately $4 million on Danforth Avenue between Broadview Avenue to Dawes Road.
Some of the changes that are being proposed include: full-time parking & loading spaces, streetscape improvements, opportunities for more and expanded patios, a separated bicycle lane in both directions and adequate pedestrian space for circulation, safety, and physical distancing on sidewalks.
The project will be delivered in multiple phases, starting with a proposed initial installation in July 2020.
The DESTINATION DANFORTH project is related to the “Danforth Study” that was launched in 2019 to create a vision and plan for the Danforth into the future.
The Danforth Study was paused in light of the COVID-19 pandemic but recently, City Council has voted to accelerate key projects in Toronto to support economic recovery and address emerging transportation issues.
More detailed information about the DESTINATION DANFORTH project can be found here.


Why is DECA co-hosting this event?


DECA’s mission includes building a stronger, more vibrant, safe and walkable community and empowering neighbourhood residents through community involvement and open consultation.
The guiding principles of DECA include encouraging revitalization that reflects the values of the neighbourhood – DECA has consistently supported a “complete streets” vision.
This community event will provide an opportunity for community members to provide their feedback about the DESTINATION DANFORTH project and ask questions of Councillor Bradford – open discussion is encouraged.
