The City has announced major reconstruction of Burnhamthorpe Rd. East from the Etobicoke Creek to Dixie Rd. It is anticipated that work will commence this spring and will continue until December. The work, estimated to cost $8.5 million, for reconstruction of Burnhamthorpe Road East (approximately 2 km), will include: • The extension of the multi-use trail along the north side of the road, including lighting and connecting with the Etobicoke Creek Trail • Catch basin lead replacements • Management of stormwater runoff using Low Impact Development • Intersection improvements including traffic signal replacements and bus stop/queue jump lanes constructed at Bough Beeches Boulevard/Havenwood Drive, Fieldgate Drive and Ponytrail Drive intersections. • During this same timeframe, watermain work will be in process along Ponytrail, north of Burnhamthorpe, and along Rathburn. Residents can probably expect major traffic issues during this period.
