Verner and Drovers Lane Revitalization

We’re thrilled to share that the revitalization of Drover and Verner Lanes—located at Gerrard and Parliament in Cabbagetown—has been officially approved by the Toronto City Council. This exciting project is part of Councillor Chris Moise’s Toronto Centre Projects Proposals, funded through Section 37.

This initiative is about more than just beautification—it’s about reimagining these overlooked spaces as vibrant, functional, and community-driven. At The Laneway Project, we believe in the power of laneways to bring people together, and we’re excited to bring that vision to Drover and Verner. Our goal is to create a welcoming, safe, and animated laneway that fosters foot traffic, neighbourhood pride, and ongoing use.

Design and planning will commence in the Spring of 2025, with installations scheduled for the summer of 2025. We expect to complete the project by Fall 2025, unveiling a transformed space for all to enjoy.
