RapidTO: Jane Street

Serving over 43,000 customers on an average weekday prior to the pandemic and travelling through several Neighbourhood Improvement Areas, Jane Street from Eglinton Avenue West to Steeles Avenue West is the second roadway being studied for transit priority measures.

Get Involved

The City and the TTC will be seeking input from the community and key stakeholders to better understand the Jane Street roadway user needs, challenges, and priorities and advance transit priority solutions. Feedback will be collected in two steps: Step 1: Design Options Review and Step 2: Preferred Option Review.

Public feedback, along with technical considerations and City policies and guidelines will be considered in decisions to be made by staff and City Council.

Step 1 of RapidTO: Jane public consultation has begun. The City and the TTC seek input from the community and key stakeholders to better understand the Jane Street roadway user needs, challenges, and priorities. This will help advance transit priority solutions that will improve service reliability for buses travelling on Jane Street. Staff have developed the following five road design options:

Option 1 – Existing Conditions with Minor Road & Public Transit Changes
Option 2 – Priority Bus Lanes
Option 3 – Priority Bus Lanes on Key Segments
Option 4 – High Occupancy Vehicle (3+) Lanes
Option 5 – Queue Jump Lanes at Key Locations
