Metro Toronto Roads and Transportation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Metro Toronto Roads and Transportation department was responsible for maintaining major arterial roads, bridges and local freeways systems in Metro Toronto and not under local control.

The department did have influence over the design of the city. One example is the width of Yonge Street. When the Toronto Eaton Centre was built, it was setback from the street as to allow the possibility of a future lane of traffic. It wasn't until the late 90's that the mall was allowed to expand out towards Yonge.

Most major roads in Toronto was under the authority of Metro Roads and Transportation and a few expressways:

  • F.G. Gardiner Expressway
  • W.R. Allen Road
  • Don Valley Parkway

Streets:

  • Yonge Street

Other tasks assigned to Metro Roads:

  • snow removal
  • road repair

The department merged with local departments in 1998 under Toronto Transportation.
