The Study

The Teston Road Area EA Study aims to generate solutions for transportation challenges and opportunities. The project considered improvements for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and transit in the study area. 

Recommended improvements

  • Widening Teston Road from two to four lanes west of Keele Street to Rodinea Road and from Dufferin Street to Bathurst Street
  • Extending Teston Road as a new four-lane roadway from Rodinea Road to Dufferin Street; a modified short-term solution is proposed along Teston Road (Keele to Dufferin) with a multi-use path
  • Constructing an at-grade GO Rail crossing on Teston Road east of Keele Street with property protection to separate the road and tracks in the future, if needed 

As required under the Environmental Assessment Act, the EA Report will be available for public review and comment from Friday, February 27 to Friday, April 17, 2026.
