O'Conner Drive

It’s time for O’Connor Drive to be redesigned as a complete street — safer and healthier for everyone. Following an 81 year-old’s life being taken on O’Connor near Pape Avenue, local Councillors Fletcher and Bradford are working with local residents to turn O’Connor from a dangerous driving thoroughfare to a safe public space.

O’Connor is designed to be treated as a highway near family homes, schools, and businesses; an extension of the Don Valley Parkway. This community deserves safer, healthier public spaces. 

City Council will review an update to the City’s Cycling Network Plan, this fall. However, cycling shouldn’t be considered in isolation. Cycling, sustainability, and road safety need to be considered in all roadwork decisions.
