  • Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East
    IE14.12 ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East Date: June 24, 2020 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Wards 13 and 14 SUMMARY On May 28, 2020, City Council adopted CC21.20 Cycling Network Plan Installations: Bloor West Bikeway Extension & ActiveTO Projects and requested Transportation Services to report to the July 9, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the status of previous requests to improve the bike lanes on Dundas Street East. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on these requests. Bicycle lanes on Dundas Street East have long provided a vital east/west cycling connection. In the 2001 Toronto Bike Plan, Dundas Street East was identified as a candidate for bicycle lanes from River Street to Kingston Road and in 2003, bicycle lanes were installed on the section of Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road. The Dundas Street East bicycle lanes are connected to the protected bicycle lanes on Woodbine Avenue via contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue. Transportation Services has installed a number of safety improvements along Dundas Street East including pavement marking enhancements along the corridor and intersection improvements at Dundas Street East and Jones Avenue. In June 2020, as part of the ActiveTO program, temporary protected bicycle lanes (cycle tracks) were installed to extend the Dundas Street East bicycle lanes by 1 kilometre (km) from their end point just east of Broadview, west to Sackville Street to provide a safe connection through the Broadview intersection and over the Don Valley Parkway bridge.

  • Calls for Suspected Opioid Overdoses Geographic Information
    TORONTO OVERDOSE INFORMATION SYSTEM Prepared by Toronto Public Health August 2018 Calls to Paramedic Services for Suspected Opioid Overdoses Geographic Information Key Messages: Data from Toronto Paramedic Services (TPaS) show that the highest concentration of calls for suspected opioid overdoses were in the downtown area over the past year. The top five neighbourhoods and top ten main intersections with the highest number of calls were all in the downtown area, bounded roughly by Bathurst Street to the West, Bloor Street to the North, the Don Valley Parkway to the East, and Lake Ontario to the south. However, opioid overdoses are occurring all across Toronto. Other areas where TPaS responded to calls included to the east and west of the downtown core, and parts of Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough. Please review the Data Notes section for more information. This information will be posted online and updated on a regular basis at www.toronto.ca/health/overdosestats. Data Notes: • Information is preliminary and subject to change pending further review of the data source. • The data provided in this document includes only instances where 911 is called and likely underestimates the true number of overdoses in the community. • The data include cases where the responding paramedic suspects an opioid overdose. This may differ from the final diagnosis in hospital or cause of death determined by the coroner. • The information in this report refers to the total number of calls (i.e. fatal and non- fatal cases combined). Over the one-year period, there were 3,197 calls with valid geographic information occurring within the boundaries of the City of Toronto.
