Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the installation of a pedestrian traffic signal at the intersection of Queens Park Crescent East at St. Joseph Street.
Origin
Summary
Transportation Services has evaluated and is reporting the results of our investigation to install a pedestrian crossing device on Queens Park Crescent East at St. Joseph Street.
The installation of a pedestrian crossing device at this intersection is technically warranted, however, due to the limited spacing to adjacent traffic control signals, it is not recommended by staff.
