Toronto's Roncesvalles is into the second phase of its reconstruction. Roncesvalles Renewed is a group of residents, business owners, politicians, city planners, and transportation officials working together.

Our key priority was to ensure that plans include the conditions necessary for trees to flourish. We also planned for better sidewalks and improved public spaces to create an avenue that all would enjoy. These plans are now undersay. To show your support for a great street and to help our businesses get through this final phase, please buy and dine locally.

Okay, you've seen it.  And it's a mess.  The streetcars are gone from Roncesvalles and the tracks are being torn up.  The 504 streetcar won't run along Roncesvalles again until re-construction is complete in the fall of 2010.

We're down to one lane of traffic along much of Roncesvalles.  This first stage involves replacing the sewer and water mains along Roncesvalles. Next year, the rails will be reconstructed.

  • Traffic will be restricted to one lane of northound traffic.  
  • Southbound traffic will be detoured onto adjacent roads.
