It's underway! Toronto's Roncesvalles is under reconstruction. Roncesvalles Renewed is a group of residents, business owners, politicians, city planners, and transportation officials working together.

Our key priority is to ensure that plans include the condition necessary for trees to flourish. We are also working to create better sidewalks, beautiful public spaces.  And please buy and dine locally while the street is being torn up, to show your support for a great street and help our businesses get through the Dig.

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.

  • Southbound traffic will be detoured onto adjacent roads.
