You could easily think this was some city in Europe with wide streets, sidewalks, bike paths etc. Traveling in Europe myself over the years, I can attest this exactly how it's done there. You can envision the short and long term potential of this neighbourhood. Planning done right can lead to great results.
Curious what has occurred here with the six points reconfiguration...can it be duplicated anywhere else in Toronto on this or similar scale?

I hope they rename Dunbloor to Dundas. Will bother me if they leave it as Dunbloor.

Nope, it's going to remain as Dunbloor.

I live in what used to be 11 Dunbloor. The City changed the name to 5191 Dundas Street West at the end of September. Took over 2 month to be able to get my Drivers License changed because Canada Post was slow to update their database.

Huh??
Now this is news to me, city documents always referred to the new realigned section of Dundas between Bloor St W and Dundas St.W as Dunbloor Rd. Seems like it wasnt just Canada Post that was slow to update things if that's now the case.
Thanks for sharing this info, guess I stand corrected.

The bike path are done east of Auckland, but the south is still block off. Still have to do the planters on Dundas for the close bike path.
East side of Auckland sidewalk is done to the loading docks, but still needs to be built south of the driveway,
Lets see how long these hydro pole will remain until they are remove.

Everyone I know in the area absolutely hates it, you'll always hit at least 1 red light, usually all 3, and anyone who isn't familiar with the area is confused.

It's great waiting trying to make a left onto dunbloor heading west and you get stuck at the light for no reason. There is no traffic flow in this area, there is no peds or cyclists around but traffic has to wait and idle for no reason. I try to avoid this area by taking side streets which shouldn't be the main reason. I get trying to keep traffic slow but doing it for no reason is just dumb. Hope those in the buildings enjoy the exhaust gasses :-/

Toronto's Transportation Department prefers the status quo. They don't like "improving" traffic signals, unless forced to.

Recently there's a good amount of street lights malfunctioning as well. I saw about 4 or 5 the other night and they're strobing a good amount. Not very pleasant to be around, I feel sorry for those living in the townhomes at the north east side.

We're clearly in wrap-up stage.
A report to the January 11th meeting of Infrastructure and Environment Ctte is seeking authority for all the traffic light installations, the cycle tracks, the bike lanes, etc etc.
