Toronto Caribbean Carnival

Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a staple of summer in our city. With construction in the area, I have also been pushing City staff to take measures to make sure residents and visitors alike can navigate the area safely and in a reliable way.

Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a staple of summer in our city. From August 1 - 4, it brings its incredible celebration to Exhibition Place. 

If you are looking to attend, you can find all the events here. The best way to get to every event is via TTC and Go Train. There will be extra subway service on Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth. There will also be extra streetcar service on the 509 Harbourfront and the 511 Bathurst lines. 

With construction in the area, I have also been pushing City staff to take measures to make sure residents and visitors alike can navigate the area safely and in a reliable way.

City staff have committed to the following measures to make sure traffic in surrounding areas like Liberty Village stays moving: 

  • Staff will be monitoring cameras from the Traffic Operations Centre and making signal timing adjustments, with extra staff in on Saturday during the Grand Parade to support any additional signal timing changes. 
  • Traffic officers will be stationed at two intersections at Strachan/East Liberty and Dufferin/East Liberty.

For the Grand Parade, the following roads will be closed to all vehicle traffic from 12:01am on Saturday August 3 until 6:00am on August 4:

  • Lake Shore Boulevard West, from Bathurst Street to Colborne Lodge Drive
  • Strachan Avenue from Fleet Street to Lake Shore Boulevard West
  • Jameson Avenue, from Springhurst Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard West
  • Dunn Avenue at Springhust Avenue
  • Dufferin Street, at Springhust Avenue
  • F.G. Gardiner Expressway westbound and eastbound exit #149 Dunn Avenue/Jameson Avenue

I will also keep working with City staff and advocating for resources through the Liberty Village Traffic Action Plan, rolling out short-term measures, and sharing resident feedback with City staff in Transportation Services.

Reopening King Street West Early

Today, I’m pleased to announce the full opening of King Street West from Dufferin to Shaw 10 weeks earlier than expected. The King Street West construction project was a significant undertaking: work began by the City and the TTC in February to renew aging streetcar tracks. The City also replaced the 146-year-old watermain.

509 Harbourfront Service Update

Starting September 3, 2024, 509 Harbourfront streetcars will be replaced by bus service. This work is expected to last until January 2025, as part of a city-wide state of good repair program that’s completing necessary maintenance and improvements on all of our streetcar lines. 

Soak up summer at movie night!

There are still many ways to soak up the rest of summer! It’s been a busy one, and amidst it I’ve loved taking some time to cheer on the Canadian athletes’ efforts and achievements at the Olympics, now preparing for the Paralympics. And of course, the Canadian National Exhibition officially began today. You can find details about planning your CNE trip here.
